"Boss, you just received an email in your account."
In Lex Corp's conference room, Luthor's secretary suddenly knocked on the door and walked in. He walked all the way to the main seat of the conference room and whispered to Lex Luthor.
Luthor frowned.
Normally, he doesn't like to be disturbed during meetings.
But Eve·Teshi Mark was hand-picked by Luthor. This woman is extremely smart and rarely does stupid things.
Therefore, the importance of this email obviously far exceeds the meeting hosted by Luthor in the company.
After standing up and apologizing to other Lex Company shareholders, Luthor followed Eve out of the conference room.
"What email?"
"It's from the government, Boss. I think you still need to see it in person."
Luthor took the tablet from Eve's hand and clicked it to open it. As soon as he read the first line of the email, he raised his head and looked around.
Then he ordered Eve to inform the shareholders in the conference room.
"Cancel today's meeting. Tell them that I have more important urgent matters to deal with. By the way, arrange a plane for me. I want to go New York."
Luthor didn't care how embarrassed Eve looked, he took the tablet and left the place quickly.
He first returned to his private office, then walked to the bookshelf and activated the hidden elevator hidden behind the bookshelf.
The elevator carried Luthor all the way to the fifteenth underground floor of Lex Corp.
In fact, the public building plan of Lex Corp only has five underground floors.
Only Luthor himself knows the correct way to the other hidden underground levels, and even makes each level different, and only he knows all the routes.
In this layer, there are only five scientific researchers who were abducted by Luthor with high salary or other means.
And the projects they are mainly researching are all the genes of various Metahumans or non-human creatures that were defeated by Metropolis's Superman in the past.
Originally, even Luthor himself didn't pay much attention to this project.
Being able to be defeated by Superman, even if the secrets of these guys' genes are discovered, it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect of Luthor.
If it weren't for the fact that the fifteenth underground floor still preserves a small portion of the genetic samples of Parasite and Krypton, the general Zod who came from the universe, according to Luthor's character, I'm afraid the project on this floor would have been canceled long ago.
However, something happened a few days ago that revived the genetic project here.
Although Luthor did not obtain the specific details of what happened from the surveillance near the incident site.
Lex Corp, however, collected hundreds of biological samples of alien races from several nearby blocks.
After all, Metropolis is Luthor's territory, even if Batman can invade and delete nearby surveillance videos in advance.
But it covered more than a dozen streets, and even the exterior walls of dozens of high-rise buildings were sprinkled with the blood of various aliens, like a painted shop.
Even if no trace of surveillance could be found, Luthor could infer that there was definitely a Metahumans similar to Superman present at that time.
Because Superman usually does not cause such horrific traces of killing.
It's not that Superman doesn't kill at all. When aliens invade the earth, Superman will also kill.
But Superman does not have such a brutal fighting style.
Under Heat Vision, most of the flesh, flesh and bones have been evaporated cleanly. Even if there is still a little bit left, it will never be possible to build a paint stall in the same place.
Obtaining such a wealth of genetic samples at once not only gave the research project on the fifteenth underground floor value.
Those scientific researchers who were listless every day felt as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
After obtaining these rich samples, a research report with new discoveries will be sent to Luthor's private mailbox almost every half hour.
Of course, Luthor basically didn't watch much.
Corrosive body fluids, radiation-resistant epidermis, invisible light vision, etc. are not very attractive to Luthor.
What he really wants is a sample of the guy who defeated hundreds of unknown alien creatures.
Luthor had a hunch that the hidden unknown existence would be a key link in helping him defeat Superman.
Of course, Luthor came down now for other things.
"How is your research going?"
Seeing the funder personally coming down to check on the progress, four of the five researchers raised their heads and reported to Luthor.
Although they only sent a detailed latest progress report to Luthor's email address twenty minutes ago, stimulated by money and endless scientific research inspiration, they did not care whether Luthor despised them.
"We have successfully integrated more than twenty newly extracted genes into the original embryos cultured using Parasite and Krypton genes."
One of the youngest, a male researcher with messy curly hair and freckles on his nose, was even more excited.
"Although not all biological samples can extract genes that can be accepted by Parasite, it is expected that at least thirty types can be extracted from the remaining unstudied samples."
The researcher danced with joy.
"It will definitely be unprecedentedly powerful. It can be used in more than hundreds of Superpowerss. It is simply the Collective of human fantasy, a perfect creature!"
Luthor looked quietly at the researcher who didn't know how to suppress his emotions because he was young.
"Stimulate the embryo to grow and then remove it."
"What?"
The young researcher was stunned.
Then there was an expression of disbelief on his face, and he subconsciously refuted his sponsor.
"Why?! It's not finished yet! It's not mature enough! It's not perfect yet!"
Several other slightly older researchers wanted to win over this young man who knew nothing about the world.
But he seemed to be crazy and threw away his colleagues who he spent time with day and night.
"Why do you do such a stupid thing! Luthor! You shouldn't be a person who takes the goose that lays golden eggs to stew in advance!"
Luthor ignored the other party's noise, but frowned and raised his arm to glance at his watch.
He quickly walked up to the young researcher and leaned forward slightly, so that the two of them were almost cheek to cheek.
The researcher who originally wanted to continue roaring was frightened by Luthor's momentum, subconsciously leaned back to avoid it, and took a few steps back.
Luthor looked at him indifferently.
"You have no idea that there is no such thing as perfection in this world, and you wasted my time----"
But just before Luthor finished speaking, among the five researchers, the middle-aged researcher who had been silent from the beginning, just looking down at the electron microscope, and then stood up and left when there was a subsequent commotion came back.
He was holding a transparent glass jar in his hand, with metal devices installed around the jar to continuously emit a special magnetic field.
In the center of the glass jar, there is the embryo that could have obtained more Superpowers.
He handed the jar to Luthor.
Luthor glanced at him approvingly, took the jar, turned around and left the underground room without hesitation Laboratory.
After Luthor left, the young man who was shocked by Luthor slipped in pain, sat down on the ground, and frantically twirled his messy curly hair with his hands.
"Why take it away in advance? We don't have any more Zod samples."
The calm middle-aged researcher glanced at him.
"With Superman here, there are as many samples of the Krypton gene as we need. What's more, we still have a sample of Parasite - our experiment can be stopped at any time before we obtain a third sample of equal value."
Young people don't understand.
"What else can compare with the value of the first two?"
The middle-aged researcher looked at him mockingly, then reached out and tapped his temple.
"The guy who beat all the hundreds of invading alien lifeforms into mud with just his fists and kicks, did you always think that the alien samples Lex Corp picked up fell from the sky for nothing?"
