Nine o 'clock at night.
Far East Whip's last secret base.
Cork was expressionless. He was like a breathing puppet as he sat quietly in the deepest part of the base's office.
There was a small red button in front of him. As long as he pressed it lightly with his finger, the mechanism under Cork's chair would be triggered. Then, the huge firecracker buried under it with a power of more than ten thousand tons would explode instantly.
Once this huge firecracker was detonated, not only would he die while he was sitting on it, the enemies who had defeated the guards and charged into the base would also be smashed to pieces.
It was the last gift that Cork had carefully prepared for Mr. Wood.
In his original plan.
There was no need to use this huge firecracker that could only perish together with the enemy.
However, he now hoped that Mr. Wood would arrive soon. It would be best if he could personally lead the team and charge into the secret base. Then, he would proudly mock the failure of his plan. He would listen patiently to the end. Then, when Mr. Wood was the happiest, he would press his finger lightly and let the genetic warriors behind him and Mr. Wood turn into ashes together!
It was very quiet outside.
The plan had failed.
After three o 'clock in the afternoon, there was not much news from the outside anymore.
At six o 'clock, there was no more news from the base. It was as if the whole world had forgotten about it.
Of course, Cork did not think so. When the first guard who had a nervous breakdown due to excessive fear picked up a gun and shot himself in the head, several other guards committed suicide one after another. He believed that among the remaining guards, there were definitely traitors who were afraid of Mr. Wood and also afraid of death. They must have secretly leaked the news to the outside world. They might even have secretly formed an alliance and formed a small group of traitors … In other words, this remaining secret base had long been exposed. Mr. Wood already knew of its existence.
Why wasn't he here yet?
Shouldn't he have led the genetic warriors to arrest him the first thing he did?
People like Fox, Enoko Kazama, Griffin, Jonathan, Remiga, and the rest of the genetic warriors who were not from the Ancestral Dragon Country, weren't they anxious to capture him and curry favor with Mr. Wood?
The head on his neck should be very valuable!
"Boss, your, your coffee." An enchanting secretary carefully came in with a cup of hot coffee.
She tried her best to look calm, but her trembling fingers and stiff heels betrayed her fear and uneasiness.
She was Cork's favorite secretary, and he usually liked to take advantage of her.
He enjoyed it tirelessly.
It was just that he really couldn't muster up any interest today.
He waved his hand to let her leave. When she was about to walk out of the door, Cork's heart moved. He suddenly called out to her, who was startled by the sound, "Susan, is there any news outside? Even if it's bad news? "
"No, if there's any news, I'll report to you immediately." Susan combed the hair on her forehead and forced herself to answer.
"How long have we known each other, Susan?" Cork asked.
"Three years and four months," Susan replied quickly after a slight pause.
"Okay, what do you think of me?" Cork suddenly asked this question.
"Boss, you're the person I respect the most in my life. In my world, you're as perfect as a god!" Susan heard this and laughed. Her eyes flashed with the fanatical worship of a die-hard fan, "Boss, do you have any orders to give? If you need me, I can do anything for you! "
"What do you think of Mr. Wood?" Cork continued to ask.
"Well, he's an Asian. In the eyes of Asians, he might be very good, but I don't like people like him. I don't like black hair, I don't like black eyes, and I hate yellow skin the most … I think we white people are the best. His success might be because he picked up an alien computer, or something else. That's not his intelligence! Boss, he's just a student. He can't be compared to you! "Susan used the most fanatical expression to give her answer.
"Very good." Cork picked up the coffee and raised it to his lips. Suddenly, he said coldly, "Susan, why did you betray me?"
"Ah …" Susan immediately jumped up in shock. Her whole body trembled, "I didn't!"
"You didn't betray me? Then why did you put poison in my coffee? "Cork wanted to know the answer.
"I, I, I didn't!" Susan repeatedly denied, but when she saw Cork put down the coffee, her expression became a little complicated, "I love you, Cork … I love you!"
"I'm listening. Please continue!" Cork made a "please" gesture.
"I love you so much, boss. You'll never know how much I love you. Yes, you'll always be a high and mighty big boss. You'll never understand how a little secretary like me feels!" Susan suddenly covered her face with her hands and sobbed sadly.
"Is that why you poisoned me?" Cork shook his head in an unusually calm manner, "It's a very special reason!"
"No, that's not poison! That's not poison at all. I would never poison your body … "Susan shouted," The Mansion of the Dead has failed. Why are you still sitting here? If you're a fool, you can also understand what's going on outside. You're so smart, why can't you understand? The plan for Hell has completely failed. That sly Mr. Wood has already dug a huge trap for us. We're in his territory, and we're under his surveillance. We'll never be able to win against him … Why don't you leave? Do you think you can still turn things around at the last moment? Look at how many guards are left outside … BOSS, no, Cork, you don't know, other than me, there are only a few people outside who dare not surrender. Those who can surrender have all left. No one is stopping them. Yes, you heard me right. No one is stopping them … Everyone is in despair! Why do you still persist? Everyone has already broken down. Now, death is a happy release for them … "
"What are you trying to say? Susan? "Cork frowned.
"What I want to say is, no one listens to you now. I'm the only one left in the entire base who still serves you. The others have either committed suicide, surrendered, or pretended to be heroes in an attempt to resist so that their families can get more compensation! How are you going to turn things around in such a situation? How are you going to win against Mr Wood? I'm just a secretary who doesn't know anything. I'm only responsible for taking the hit and making you happy. Even I know that you're going to lose. Why do you still persist? "Susan's voice grew louder and louder. In the end, there was a hint of hysteria in her voice.
"Susan, I have my reasons!" Cork remained calm. The expression on his face did not change in the slightest.
"Of course you have your reasons, you fool!" Susan exploded. She rushed to the desk and shouted at her superior, at Cork. "Do you want to perish together with Mr Wood? Press that red button, and you can blow this place up, right? Do you think that will work? Mr Wood will never come. He won't give you such a chance! He's not like those brainless villains in the movies. Even if he wants to come, his subordinates won't let him take the risk. Your plan to perish together is destined to fail! "
"Get out, Susan. I don't need you to teach me what to do!" Hearing this, Cork's face changed. He shouted at the secretary, "Get out immediately. Get as far away as you can!"
"Cork, who else will die with you except me?" Susan swept everything on the table to the ground. The hot coffee spilled everywhere.
"Get out!" Cork stood up and slapped Susan in the face with a ferocious look.
Susan fell to the ground.
Tears welled up in her deep eye sockets.
However, she bit her lip hard and didn't cry. Instead, she quickly tidied up her appearance and combed the messy blonde hair on her forehead.
She slowly stood up. First, she carefully wiped away her tears with her fingers. Then, she took out a makeup box and powdered her slightly red and swollen cheeks. She quickly and skillfully touched up her makeup.
Cork watched all this coldly.
He didn't say a word.
After Susan touched up her makeup, she turned around and smiled at him. "Let me stay, Cork!"
Cork slowly took out a silver pistol from under the desk and pointed the black muzzle at her head. "Goodbye, Susan!"
"Goodbye, I'll wait for you. I love you, Cork, I really love you!" Susan's tears couldn't stop flowing, but she still forced a smile on her face, as if she wanted him to see her most beautiful side at the last moment. "I know you're fake, but I still love you! I love you, the stupid younger brother of my twin brother, the fool who has been someone else's substitute all his life. I don't love the Great Leader of the Far East Whip, that heartless big Cork. I only love you, stupid little Cork! I knew from the beginning that you were fake. Only you would use your strength on me … "
"You b * tch, you're even more despicable than a dog. Do you know what you're saying?" Cork's hand trembled.
"Of course I know, Cork. I even know that you love me too. If you weren't a pitiful substitute, you wouldn't be living like a coward, not even daring to accept my love! Tell me 'I love you' and then shoot. I know you're very stubborn and insist on carrying out your brother's sh * tty order. I know you're a very great person who can sacrifice for others. I only hate that I'm nothing. I'm just a little secretary who doesn't know anything … Cork, I won't blame you. Let's meet again in heaven! "
Bang!
The gun went off.
However, Susan wasn't shot.
The bullet grazed her cheek.
Cork, who was holding the gun, couldn't stop trembling. There were all kinds of complicated expressions in his eyes.
"You should go, Susan. Just pretend that we've never met!" Cork took a deep breath and slowly put down the gun. "Susan, you should live on your own. Live a good life, including my share … Please forgive me. My destination is different from yours. I'm afraid I'm going to hell. Even so, I wish you happiness! Goodbye, Susan. I'll press the button in half an hour. Try to stay as far away as possible. Susan, don't refuse. This is the only thing I can do for you! "
"I won't go, Cork. You know I won't go … If you want to go to hell, I'll go with you!" Susan smiled.
"Really? In that case, I'll say goodbye to you, Susan! "Cork raised the gun and pointed it at Susan.
Susan slowly closed her eyes.
She tried to remain calm.
She waited quietly.
However …
A gunshot rang out. She was still not the one who was shot.
Susan hurriedly opened her eyes and found that Cork had shot her temple. She fell straight to the ground, blood flowing out.
On the desk in front of him, the coffee that Susan had knocked over earlier had covered half the desk. On the blank spot of the desk, there was a line of words written with her finger dipped in the coffee: I LOVE YOU TOO!
