In the dark, Billy Boy's movements were very careful. On the ground in front of him, he used his own blood to outline the outline in his memory.
The wound that he had bitten open wasn't big, and it wasn't as horrifying as he had imagined. Every time he moved his finger, he felt a stinging pain. The human body's self-healing ability prevented too much blood from flowing out of small wounds, so he had no choice but to tear open the healed wound again and again. It was like an endless cycle of torment.
The details of the magic circle in his memory were amazing, but there was no requirement on how big it should be. So, after Billy Boy estimated his tolerance, he chose a small magic circle with a diameter of 20 centimeters. But even so, according to the memory in his mind, when he outlined more than half of the circle, he still felt the temperature around his body become a lot colder.
This was not a good sign. It meant that he had lost too much blood.
He looked at the small magic circle in the dark and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart. Is this magic circle really useful? Or is it just because he was too panicked that he lost his mind and pinned all his hopes on that dream?
"I must be crazy …"
Billy Boy scratched his head and sat in the corner of the dark cage. His body was somewhat weak. In order to prevent them from causing any trouble, Hydra's agents added some drugs to their food to make them weak. Around Billy Boy, those who were also caught were lying on the ground in various forms. Most of them had already accepted their fate. Some of them grabbed the railing and shouted at the top of their lungs, making the already bad smell even worse.
"Why do I have to suffer all this!"
Billy Boy grabbed his hair and said to himself with difficulty, "I'm just an ordinary person. In this situation, how can I … how can I save myself?"
He turned his head and saw the surveillance cameras all over the basement. When he was caught, he also saw the security guards with weapons. Even if he thought with his toes, he knew that it was impossible for him to escape by himself.
"Beep Beep"
Just when Billy Boy was about to lose all hope, the basement door was suddenly pushed open, and heavily armed Agents came in under the leadership of Agent Ward. After Hydra walked to the front desk and took power, Agent Gartler's position was restored. Of course, he had missed many opportunities and there was no way for him to compete for power with the current hot Agent Sylvette.
Everyone knew that Agent Sylvitt was valued by Daniel Whitehall and Pierce at the same time. She was the future successor of Hydra's top management. In this case, Agent Ward, as Agent Gartler, was naturally not treated well. He was sent to maintain this empty laboratory and supervise Whitehall's research on the Terugen crystal transformation ritual.
Agent Ward glanced at the bodies of the ordinary people who Maximus had identified as having Inhuman potential and pointed at them.
"Number 103-113, these ten people are today's test subjects. Take them up!"
Without saying a word, the ruthless agent opened the cell, grabbed the ten people designated by Agent Ward, put black bags over their heads, and dragged them into the elevator. When leaving, Agent Ward looked back again and saw Billy Boy squatting in the corner, looking at him with pleading eyes. The two men looked at each other.
One side was cold and indifferent, while the other side was praying for a way out and fantasizing about the kindness of the ruthless villain.
"114-124, tomorrow's test subjects!"
Before the elevator door closed, Ward threw out a meaningful and malicious sentence, completely shattering all of Billy Boy's hopes. Looking at the filthy silly boy's serious despair, Ward's depressed heart seemed to have obtained a trace of happiness, and even the corners of his mouth curled up.
This was the logic of the villains. Because the disaster that happened to them could not be resolved, they would feel heartfelt joy when they destroyed the hope of others with their own hands. This was a kind of sick logic. However, the villains did not think that they were wrong. In any case, all the conflicts were because of this terrible world. Their evil deeds were forced by fate, even if they enjoyed it, wasn't that right?
Billy Boy looked up and could see the number on the cage. It was so dazzling, as if announcing the end of all hope to him.
"114 … Tomorrow, there is only one day left!"
Billy Boy didn't know where the strength came from. He threw himself on the steel railing and grabbed the railing frantically, but after using up the last bit of strength in his body, the railing was still as stable as before.
"No! No! "
Billy Boy lay on the ground and screamed in despair. He did not know why this d * mn misfortune had befallen him. He also did not know how to escape. He only had one day left to live, and there were so many things that he had not done yet.
He had not found his lost sister since he was a child, and he had been dreaming of being a superhero since he was a child. All of this …
"It can't … end like this!"
Billy Boy punched the ground with both of his fists. He looked up and turned his head to look at the half-drawn magic circle behind him. The despair in his eyes was so deep, but the last glimmer of hope was so bright.
"I can't die here …"
He put his fingers into his mouth. As his teeth intertwined, red blood dripped down little by little. When it hit the ground, it splashed up the dust as if it was the weight of life.
Just as Billy Boy was praying like a madman to save his life, among the stars, a Kryptonian assault spaceship was leaving the atmosphere at a very fast speed. The light of the thrusters drew a very beautiful light belt behind the spaceship. It was heading in the direction of the nearest satellite to Earth.
The moon … It was a place that carried too many legends.
"The colonists have entered the moon's synchronous orbit and are approaching the moon's Sea of Tranquility. Requesting further instructions!"
The warrior of the Kryptonian Security Company, who was piloting the spaceship, contacted the command center on Earth through a communicator. In the launch bay of the assault spaceship, a black metal capsule sat quietly, waiting for the launch command.
The Kryptonian warriors were very obedient. They were paid to do things. For example, in this mission to the moon, the warrior who piloted the spaceship did not even look at the metal capsule. He did not care about the impact of what he threw down. They were not human beings. Even if Earth was destroyed, they could survive. So, these guys could not be expected to think from the standpoint of human beings.
The integration of Kryptonians and Earthlings was definitely not something that could be completed in just a few months or years. Based on their amazing age, this process was likely to take hundreds of years.
In addition, since Ms. Ophila and the rest of the Kryptonian warriors changed professions, this small security company quickly became the top existence in the industry. The price was very expensive, 20 million US dollars per hour. Even so, there was still a lot of work to be done. Ms. Ophila and the other warriors spent almost every day on the plane. In just a few months, they had almost circled the entire Earth.
There was nothing they could do about it. They could guarantee that their clients would have a 100% chance of survival no matter what kind of situation they encountered. Currently, all of their missions had a 100% positive rating. Just this alone was enough to make them look down on everyone else. This kind of work style that only cared about missions, regardless of good or evil, allowed them to quickly become partners with various major forces. Among them, the Ten Rings Gang had approached them four times in just a month.
Unfortunately, after PvP with the experts of the Heavenly Sword Bureau four times without a clear victor, Ms. Ophila finally decided not to accept the employment of the lunatic Mandalin. That guy was simply sending them to their deaths.
"This is the snake's nest, colonist. You have about two minutes to reach the designated location. After the landing capsule is released, the mission is over. The remaining money has been transferred to your account. Happy cooperation! "
The commander from Earth briefly stated the requirements and hung up the communication. Hydra recognized the professionalism of the Kryptonian Security Company. The unknown Kryptonian warrior looked back at the black landing capsule and shook his head. He took out a very high-end cigar from under the bridge, sniffed it under his nose, and pressed the release button.
"Happy cooperation!"
Swoosh!
The next moment, under the action of two small thrusters at the rear, the black landing capsule quickly fell from the open cabin to the Tranquil Sea on the far side of the moon. The Kryptonian assault ship, which had completed the release work, came out of stealth mode and quickly returned to the secret starport on Earth that belonged to the Kryptonians.
At this time, in the gorgeous and majestic inhuman city of Attilan, the Black Bat King and his ministers and generals gathered together to discuss the urgent news that had just been sent back by the crystal.
"The Hive has returned to Earth from the sealed place. This news is really shocking!"
"I came from that era. Although I have never doubted His Majesty's power, you are all too young. You cannot imagine how weak we will be when we face the beehive monsters …" An old man with three eyes leaned on his cane and said in the hall, "I came from that era. Although I have never doubted His Majesty's power, you are all too young.
The Black Bat King looked at the oldest minister of Attilan with a flash of doubt in his eyes. This doubt was translated by Queen Medusa and echoed in the hall.
"I am familiar with the history of the inhumans. As far as I know, the Hive does not have the ability to live for a long time. According to the time he was sealed, he should have died of exhaustion. This is what I am most confused about. Did the crystal make a mistake? You know, if the Hive has really reappeared, according to what you said, what we should consider is not resistance, but … avoidance."
"That's right. The Hive does not have the ability to live for a long time."
The old minister's three eyes shone with a thoughtful light. He said in a low voice, "But if the Hive has been continuously nourished by flesh and blood in these thousands of years, there is a very low chance that he will survive the long river of time. His Majesty is right. Sometimes the little crystal is not careful enough, but this is not a reason for us to take a chance. I suggest that Attilan immediately start the next migration, and the destination will be outside the solar system. At the same time, we will send the next wave of soldiers to scout and retrieve the crystal."
"Her ability is too important to the inhumans!"
"Yes."
The Black Bat King nodded. His nasal voice caused the air in the hall to flow rapidly again. Just as he made his decision, the three-eyed elder suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky. His three eyes seemed to penetrate the barrier above his head and saw the rapidly falling boarding cabin outside the void. The cane in his hand slammed on the ground.
"The invaders are here!"
Whoosh.
The Black Bat King's figure disappeared from the hall in an instant. Like a black shadow, he quickly appeared above the hall. He raised his head and saw the black landing pod that had shattered Attilan's energy and invisibility barrier and was about to fall into the city. He opened his mouth, and invisible sound waves gathered in the air. Like an extremely sharp spear, they easily pierced through the air and pierced through the falling landing pod. Then, in the riot of sound waves, they completely tore it to pieces.
Even the hardest steel of mankind would not be able to resist such a majestic force.
However, a trace of doubt flashed in the Black Bat King's eyes. This was because there was nothing in the black landing cabin.
"Ah!"
At this moment, Queen Medusa's scream came from the hall. The Black Bat King was shocked. When his figure appeared in the hall, he saw Tetanus's huge body and the monster sitting on Tetanus's head with blue tentacles waving around its cheeks. Beside the monster, Queen Medusa and the ministers in the hall stood in a strange posture, slightly bowing towards the blue figure.
Above the blue figure, on the throne that belonged to the Black Bat King, a man in an exquisite suit was bending over in the posture of a researcher, using a magnifying glass and a handkerchief to carefully observe the patterns on the throne. After noticing that the owner of the throne had returned, he turned around, a very gentle smile on his face with small round eyes, but his eyes were calm and indifferent.
"Oh, the Black Bat King? Is that right? I heard that you are one of the most powerful mutants in the world … Then, are you interested in working for me? "
"Let me introduce myself. I am the head of the Hydra research department. You can call me Daniel Whitehall."
