The remaining number of tasks is eleven. Ten Snake Shield, and one is in the Oscorp.

The last one will remain for now. Of the remaining ten, three have fled to Detroit. By cross-referencing the data from the trackers with the map, it's clear that these individuals have joined forces with the OCP in Detroit, likely working alongside the group that created RoboCop.

It's possible that they operate in the same field, so they sent these people to apply for jobs. It's also possible that the 0CP Enterprise, after hearing that Cyber Technology had new employees joining, sent headhunters to contact these people in an attempt to poach them.

Regardless of the possibility, it all demonstrates the fact that these individuals have no memory.

Split up and escape is a pretty good option, although given the Kryptonian ' mobility and tracking abilities, unless they split up in space, it wouldn't be a big deal as long as they're still on Earth.

The fact that this group remained together suggests they didn't take the mysterious threat seriously. Or perhaps they believed that as long as they acted collectively and stayed together, there wouldn't be any problems?

Feeling provoked, Henry went to investigate the group's lodging in Detroit late at night. Upon arriving, he discovered that things were not quite what he had imagined.

The three families were temporarily staying at a motel in the suburbs of Detroit, with their three rooms side by side. The surrounding area was like a tight security network, with several layers of surveillance and temporary checkpoints.

Unless the people hiding in the van, and those in the rooms around the three to-do list accommodations, filled with high-tech listening equipment, were actually targeting other people who happened to have also arrived at this motel.

Because he lacked the ability to quickly identify X-Ray Vision, Henry relied solely on his hearing and it took him some time to realize that this was a large trap.

There are no tall buildings or even other structures around the motel that could be used for surveillance. Therefore, it's impossible to remain hidden from remote monitoring.

To make contact with those three families, one must show oneself and walk into their encirclement.

So Henry made a quick decision and went home to sleep!

I'll look for other targets tomorrow. Anyway, besides the three people here, I have seven other things on my to-do list elsewhere.

It's said that the biggest difference between hunter and prey lies in which side has more patience. Henry certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to see a trap and obediently jump in, in order to prove the theory that Kryptonian are invincible.

Let someone else do this brain-dead thing.

Lack of sleep is the enemy of beauty. Despite this belief, Kryptonian, when they still had girlfriends, would often stay up all night to build their secret base underwater after a satisfying sexual encounter.

Before going to bed, Henry checked the status of the ten to-do items and found that there had been changes. One of them had already boarded a flight and taken off after arriving at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

As the most advanced mode of transportation, airports and airlines have made remarkable progress in information technology, rivaling even the information age of the 21st century.

This made it easy for Henry to hack into the airport's surveillance system and the Passenger systems of various airlines. He quickly found the destination of his to-do list, and they flew to Cairo on Air Canada.

The flight departs at 7:45 PM and arrives around 12:15 AM the following day. The flight takes 21 hours and 30 minutes, with a layover of approximately nine hours at Munich Airport in Germany.

As usual, the option of causing an air crash is immediately ruled out. Although airplanes, like trains, are enclosed spaces, the difficulty of infiltrating them is incomparable.

Having at least one more stranger on the plane is far more noticeable than on a train. Unless one sneaks into or out through the space used by the flight attendants, it's difficult to remain unnoticed.

Moreover, there are not many options for unexpected events that can occur in the air. In case of an emergency, the plane can choose to land at an airport earlier, shortening the rescue time.

So, is the best place to take action either Munich Airport (where you transfer) or Cairo International Airport where you arrive)?

Considering that the flight arrives at Munich Airport at approximately 9:50 AM local time, which is 12:50 AM Los Angeles time, and the connecting flight departs at 7:30 PM local time, which is 10:30 AM Los Angeles time.

So I'll go to Germany tomorrow morning to check things out; if there's no opportunity, I'll go to Egypt to wait and see. Anyway, since the other side is out of North America, I can be more daring with the methods I need.

After a good night's sleep, Henry dismissed the meat deliveryman and fed Kitty and himself before releasing the Tiger near the Sheep Cave Valley Laboratory. Then, carrying a rifle, he headed to Germany.

The AK47 in his hand was a secondhand item he bought from a black guy in the South Los Angeles. This secondhand item was an illegal weapon that had leaked from the police evidence archive, and the gun had a long history of criminal activity.

Simply possessing such a weapon is a crime. This isn't just a figure of speech; it's a fact. If the Los Angeles police find you in possession of this gun, whether it's in your car or at home, they can immediately detain you as a criminal.

However, as a backup black gun stored in the Sheep Cave Valley Laboratory, it's perfect for use in situations like this. Because no one can use this gun to track down a specific person.

The black guy who handed over the gun was somewhat unwilling and was knocked unconscious. He probably didn't even see who knocked him out.

Henry secretly prepared quite a few of these black guns, whose origins were unknown, during the war against the Vampires.

The main purpose was to target humans who were attached to Vampires, to reduce the traces that could be left behind even if there wasn't enough time to destroy the body. But it wasn't needed then; now it's come in handy.

Since it was near the airport, there weren't any tall buildings to use as sniping positions. So Henry obediently hid his rifle under his coat and used his Super Hearing and nearsightedness to find the exact location of the task at hand.

It didn't take Henry long to find the family on the to-do list. There were two adults and two children, the kids probably only in elementary school.

People have already entered the terminal; they need to go through security and customs before they can access that area.

Henry was somewhat surprised that the other party had entered the terminal so early.

But considering that the other person had just left Russia and would only be in the United States for two or three months at most, they couldn't possibly have much savings. So, it's very likely that their layover in Munich would just be spent waiting, without them going anywhere to explore or have any fun.

This experience, of course, did not earn Henry's sympathy; he was simply there to settle his to-do list.

Recalling the positions and angles of the various surveillance cameras while investigating the footage, and combining this with the modeling results he had created of the airport's architectural structure while inside the airport, Henry quickly found a suitable sniping position.

Using his Super Speed, flight, and Molecular Phasing abilities, Henry instantly appeared at his designated sniping position.

Of course, there are no high-magnification scopes on AKs, and Henry didn't need one. He relied solely on feel, firing without even aiming.

Most people's understanding of the AK47 is that it's rugged and durable. Only those who know more about firearms know that the AK's lethality is truly terrifying.

Almost no one would be like those in the movies, alive and kicking after being shot by an AK, fighting even harder. The cavity effect causes a 7.62mm bullet to create a wound of at least 10 centimeters at the exit point.

Even if it doesn't hit a vital organ, it's still a disabling injury. If it hits a bulletproof vest, the bones underneath are unlikely to be saved. This is why the AK47 is popular with Third World countries, guerrilla groups, local warlords, and tyrants.

Just like now, Henry carefully chose the angle so that the flying skull wouldn't injure anyone else. Blood mixed with brain matter sprayed out like a jet, leaving a trail several meters behind To-Do.

The children's mother screamed and covered the eyes of her two children. Other passengers in the waiting area also screamed hysterically.

The Kryptonian ' kindness only extends to not harming the innocent; the mental health of their children is not their responsibility.

However, the sniper position was long gone; Henry had already packed up his gun and gone home to work. Now it was time for the Germany police to rack their brains, but they were destined to come up empty-handed.

Ten tasks remain to be completed.
