From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man
Chapter 87
"You!"
Homelander walked towards the motionless soldier boy, his eyes flashing bright red light in the dim space.
"If I kill you, I can become a real hero!"
Ri~——Swoosh——!!
The moment the voice fell, the interior of the warehouse was suddenly lit up by red light.
Two high-power lasers were emitted from Homelander's eyes and directly hit the soldier boy's face.
Boom!!
A strong impact broke out, and the dazzling red light engulfed the soldier boy's head.
On the other hand, Homelander continued to increase the power of the laser and walked slowly forward, his mouth corners also raised, firmly believing that he had occupied an absolute advantage.
Trap?
Homelander now has the confidence to solve all problems, no matter who it is, he can easily kill it!
"Ding~Ding...Ding..."
However, at this time, a slightly larger grenade was pulled off the pull ring and safety by the soldier boy, and thrown beside him, rolling to his feet.
Grenade?
Ridiculous.
Boom!!
A low-intensity explosion erupted at the feet of the Homelander.
? !
But it was this low-intensity explosion that directly interrupted the Homelander's laser attack, and even shook the Homelander so that he staggered and almost fell.
This...
This is impossible? !
His childhood was closely linked to abuse and torture. Walter used all means of attack to test him, and he survived.
But it was obviously just a grenade! Why would it hurt him? !
The Homelander was extremely shocked.
He turned his head to look at the soldier boy, but found that the first-generation "star" product launched by Walter International was still standing there, expressionless and motionless.
However, the soldier boy's head was hot and red due to the high-temperature laser. It seemed that his defense was close to the limit. As long as he tried harder, he could break through the defense.
But why was he repelled by the grenade?
And why was the soldier boy's state tended to be... dementia, stupidity?
Huh~Huh-!
Before figuring out these questions, the Homelander felt a gust of air coming from behind.
?
Turning around, he saw an "angel" waving a pair of white wings, descending from the gap above not far away.
Having wings is not uncommon in the eyes of superhumans, but what caused a visual impact on Homelander was that the other party's net height was nearly two meters.
In addition, the other party's appearance was extremely handsome, his body proportions were close to perfect, and he was wearing special protective clothing and armor mainly in black, which formed a sharp contrast with the white wings.
What puzzled Homelander the most was that when he saw the other party, he also felt a trace of... calm?
"Hey! You are..."
Swish-!
Homelander was about to ask something, and the silent "angel" launched a swift attack, turning into a white afterimage and attacking him.
! !
The speed was so fast that Homelander almost couldn't react... No, it should be that his speed slowed down!
He barely avoided the angel's right straight punch, but the angel's left swing punch had already reached Homelander's right cheek.
Bang! !
After being hit hard, the Homelander's body was blown away and finally collided with a pile of metal scraps, which was considered to be stopped.
"Uh..."
The Homelander lying on the scrap pile had tinnitus, blood was flowing from his left nostril, and the world was spinning in front of his eyes.
Very confused and painful.
The Homelander struggled to crawl out, and at the same time realized that it was the grenade just now that greatly weakened his superpowers.
So at this time, he could be killed!
And the angel was obviously professionally trained, and he could not compete with him in physical combat, not to mention that there was a soldier boy with a "crashed" brain on the scene.
Should he continue to fight?
Or run for his life?
Forcing himself to regain consciousness, the Homelander saw the angel kicking the ground with his legs again and rushing towards the scrap pile quickly.
!
The Homelander quickly turned to the left, and at the moment he dodged the attack, his eyes also flashed red.
Whoosh~——!
Two low-power, but extremely fast laser attacks went straight to the right side of the angel's body.
Buzz~——Boom——!
But a layer of faintly visible barrier helped the angel offset the two laser attacks, and also caused a low-intensity explosion between the two sides.
Taking this opportunity, Homelander quickly left the scrap heap, successfully opened up enough distance from the opponent, and re-suspended in mid-air.
Using the perspective eye to see through the smoke and dust, he saw that the angel was also affected by the laser and the explosion, and was "bounced" several meters away.
His laser eyes are effective!
Then he only needs to open up the distance and continue to use high-power lasers, and he still has a very high chance of winning.
Homelander firmly believes that no one can match his speed and flexibility in the air.
Huh!
Homelander was about to take actual action, and the angel flapped his wings violently, dispersing the thick smoke and dust, and took off the retractable spear hanging on his waist.
Clang!
With a flick of his right hand, he threw out the tip and tail of the spear flashing with cold light, and quickly stabbed at Homelander's position.
! !
Seeing this, Homelander dodged immediately.
But the next angel did not fly over Homelander's head as he expected. Instead, it quickly adjusted its posture and swung its spear at him again.
Rou—— Rou!
The whistling sound of the sharp blade cutting through the air echoed in the spacious warehouse.
Homelander, who was on top of the warehouse, tried to dodge with difficulty. His left cheek and left forearm were cut by the sharp blade, leaving several wounds.
"No... No..."
He was extremely panicked now.
He had no chance to distance himself, and he had no advantage in close combat. In addition, the initial grenade made him lose the absolute defense he relied on the most.
If the spear pierced his chest, he would die...
He would really die!
Run!
The desire to survive took over, and Homelander completely lost the courage to fight the angel. He raised his head and accelerated upwards.
What's more important than pleasing Madeline or becoming a "real" superhero? !
But at the moment of looking up, the angel caught the fatal gap and stabbed Homelander's left waist with all his strength.
"Sizzle!"
The body was pierced by the spear tip, and blood scattered out along the gap.
"Uh... no..."
After being hit, Homelander seemed to be deflated and could not use any strength, and his whole body became limp.
The angel raised his left foot and kicked Homelander in the abdomen.
Bang!
While kicking Homelander back to the ground, the angel also pulled the spear away from his body, shook off the blood stains, then retracted the spear tip and the spear handle, and placed the spear on the magnetic absorber on his side.
When the angel's feet touched the ground and looked at Homelander who was lying on the side...
"Don't... don't kill me... please...!"
The "superhero" had long lost his majestic side, and was crying and begging for his life.
Seeing this scene, the angel, or Sanguinius, frowned slightly.
After six months of psychic training, he could already release psychic barriers and sense the emotional fluctuations around him.
And the information given to Sanguinius by the sensory feedback was that Homelander was indeed terrified, but the fear was slightly different from that of normal people.
"."
Sanguinius sighed silently.
He walked to Homelander's side, looked at him with tears on his face, and said, "I'm sorry I can't meet your request, but my father once said that if you grew up in a relatively normal environment, you might be a hero who yearns for justice and pursues peace.
Unfortunately, there is no if in reality, but I can guarantee that you will die without pain."
"Normal environment...?"
Homelander first thought of "The Simpsons" which he liked to watch recently.
He couldn't understand Homer's behavior, but he longed for a father like him and a mother as tolerant as Maggie.
The last scene Homelander saw was that Sanguinius half-knelt beside him and chopped his neck with a hand knife, followed by darkness, and everything became extremely quiet.
At this moment, Sanguinius reported through the headset: "This is Sanguinius. The mission has been completed within the time limit. You can clean up the scene and move the target's body."
"This is Hunter 001, understand."
Hearing the reply from the communication, Sanguinius stood up again, looking at the Homelander who had lost his breath due to severe damage to the back of the head, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
He learned from his father and Dr. Ashford (Alexia) that Homelander was an "experimental product" born through unnatural breeding, and had lived in a research institute without sunlight since childhood, suffering from torture.
And he and his brothers, although they were not humans born normally, without their father...
Sanguinius was not sure how they would develop after adulthood, but he was sure that his and his brothers' personalities would become more extreme.
Not long after, several hunters with optical camouflage turned on arrived at the warehouse and transferred Homelander's body into a black sealed bag.
After completing the sealing, Sanguinius and the soldier boy who ended the standby state left the warehouse with the hunters.
Come outside.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea, but the "sea breeze" in front of the warehouse door seems a bit strong and a bit "cool".
In fact, a medium-sized transport boat, which also maintains stealth mode, is parked on the open space in front of the warehouse.
As for the "cool sea breeze", it is the engine's cooling system, which is a byproduct of rapid cooling.
And this transport boat with a rotary wing structure is a next-generation troop transporter that Atlas has been researching as early as 1994, code-named "Silver Gull".
Equipped with two nuclear fusion engines, it has the ability to enter orbit alone, but in a vacuum environment, it can only maintain a flight state of 60 minutes.
Currently, only two prototypes have been produced for testing, one of which was delivered to the Hunter Company, which is the Silver Gull in front of us.
After confirming that Sanguinius and his party have completed boarding, the pilot closed the doors on both sides of the cabin and controlled the Silver Gull to take off vertically, disappearing into the gradually darkening sky.
Boom——!
The warehouse where Sanguinius and Homelander were fighting was engulfed in flames from the explosion.
Such a movement could be clearly seen even on the other side of the river several kilometers away, but the police and fire department needed to dispatch helicopters and ferries to land on the island quickly.
——
…
At the same time.
It was late at night in Ghana, located in the southern hemisphere.
As the capital of Ghana, Accra is completely new compared to 1993.
In the city center, there are high-rise office buildings and apartments, and the absolute landmark here is the Atlas branch building, which is more than 500 meters high.
Outside the city center, there are commercial streets with large shopping malls, bars and various consumption places.
Further out, it is the main body of the city where residents live, study and work, with buildings, blocks and streets arranged in an orderly manner.
The buildings in the coastal area are mostly resort hotels, and with tropical plants such as coconut trees and palm trees all around, as well as golden beaches and clear oceans, it has become a veritable resort.
Through the Internet, people around the world can more intuitively understand the dramatic changes in Accra.
Thanks to Atlas' investment and intervention, the security environment has been comprehensively improved, so in the past year, Accra has attracted a large number of tourists.
Even late at night, the city is still busy.
If you are at a crossroads, you can see traffic lights and signs, navigation maps of bus stops, and even holographic projection technology is used between buildings.
Sometimes the sky train above will go straight through the holographic advertisement. At first glance, Accra has a sense of déjà vu of a "future city".
And at this moment.
Atlas City Center Hospital.
Inpatient department, 28th floor, in a single room with windows facing south;
"Boss, why are you here suddenly...?" A slightly weak voice echoed.
The person who spoke was an old man lying on the bed, and the old man's gray hair could be vaguely seen as a "Mediterranean" structure.
As for the visitor sitting by the bed, it was the founder of Atlas, Sui Yang, who was dressed in casual business clothes.
After hearing the old man's question, he couldn't help but smile and asked back: "I want to ask you, old friend, why do you have to go to Accra for treatment?"
"It's more beautiful here than other places." The old man also smiled, turned his head to look at the city night view outside the window, and sighed: "Only here can we experience firsthand that the world is developing as we all expect... It's really fascinating."
"."
Hearing this, Sui Yang gradually restrained his smile.
After a long silence, he said: "Zhao Feng, you have reached the age of retirement. Don't be stubborn anymore. Take a good rest in the future. The Ark technology and nanorobot projects will be handed over to your students. They are no worse than you when you were young."
"The disciple is better than the master. I have always been worried about them working alone, but I really can't refuse to admit that I am old." The old man turned his head and saw Sui Yang's expression was a little solemn, so he said frankly:
"Boss, everyone counts their lifespans, but the dead are never old. I may be an old antique. I hope to accept death naturally instead of transmitting consciousness. To prolong life. "
The old man raised his voice to argue: "I was too absorbed in reading at home not long ago and didn't eat well, which caused malnutrition. Besides, I'm only 67, not old!"
"Compared to me, you are indeed not old." Sui Yang shook his head helplessly, then stood up and left the accompanying seat, saying:
"Okay, old friend, I respect your choice, but after you are discharged from the hospital, you must go to the Biology Department to copy your consciousness and memory. When the world completely becomes what we expect, I hope "you" will have the opportunity to see it with your own eyes. "
Everyone, the timeline of this book will be "longer".
The pace will be slowed down as much as possible.
The cycle of the space gate opening is 414 days, and the first few worlds are "very useful" worlds.
But there will be "less useful" worlds later, so the author may just mention a few of them, or use other methods to show that the space gate has been opened in a certain period of time, etc.
(You can review some movies and games in this chapter, hahaha~)
At the same time, there will be plots about what changes have taken place in the main universe under the guidance of Atlas and the protagonist.
Atlas now focuses on the development of the main universe and the 01 and 03 universes.
In order to ensure the safety of all bases and to smoothly carry out large-scale construction movements, the Homelanders and Vought must be resolved.
And the threat to the main universe is not only Vought, after all, the colonies on the moon and Mars have not yet been developed.
