Long Island Estate's morning always starts with the regular grinding sound of the coffee machine.
Lynn is wearing comfortable home clothes, holding a transparent glass kettle in his hand, and is watering several pots of green plants on the windowsill.
The sun shines in through the glass, making the water droplets on the leaves shine crystal clear.
In the living room, Reggie was lying on the carpet, sticking his butt out and trying to dig out a potato chip that had fallen into the gap in the sofa.
Tommy is sitting next to him, with his hands in his pockets, using Telekinesis to control a comic book to automatically turn pages in mid-air.
Annie hugged the little bear and fell asleep on the sofa, his golden braids a little messy.
Everything seemed so calm and natural.
But Vought Tower, far away from Manhattan, has turned into a pot of boiling hot water at this moment.
Underground Containment Center In the alloy corridor on the bottom floor, the red alarm light was flashing crazily, and the harsh buzzing sound almost pierced people's eardrums.
A team of heavily armed security personnel, armed with assault rifles, were searching every corner nervously.
The heavy alloy door No. 3 Containment Room, which is said to be incapable of even being penetrated by armor-piercing bullets, is ajar at the moment.
The electronic panel of the door lock was violently dismantled, and several red and blue wires were shorted together in a very clever way. The contact points were even fixed with a piece of chewed gum, perfectly deceiving the security system of the entire area.
Edgar stood outside the door, his face that was always expressionless, so gloomy at the moment that it seemed like it could drip water.
"Are you trying to tell me that the highest-level security system that the company spent tens of millions of dollars to build was broken into by a Chimpanzee using a plastic spoon and a piece of chewing gum?"
Edgar's voice was very soft, but it made several supervisors standing behind him break out in cold sweat.
"President, we were careless. After it was evaluated by Lynn Director, its condition has been very depressed. It didn't even eat the food that was sent in. It kept shivering in the corner. We thought it had a mental breakdown..."
The security director wiped the sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling.
They really underestimated the beast.
Yesterday afternoon, Lynn used that mysterious illusion to completely shatter Charlie's proud sanity, making it feel the absolute fear that transcended species.
But after Lynn left, that fear did not turn Charlie into a real idiot. Instead, it inspired the strongest desire to survive deep in its genes.
It realized that as long as it stayed in this building, the terrifying man could crush it to death at any time.
So it took advantage of the researchers' contempt for it.
In the blind spot for a few minutes after Containment Room turned off the lights, it used its surprisingly flexible hands and far more computing power than Supe to quietly complete the jailbreak.
"It didn't just run away."
Edgar turned his head and looked coldly at the person in charge of the laboratory next to him, "It has also been returned to your cold storage, right?"
The person in charge of the laboratory's legs softened and he almost knelt on the ground. "Yes... yes, it cut off the backup power supply of the cold storage and took away a thermostat, which contained... the only thirty Animal-Type Compound V currently left."
Hearing this number, Edgar took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Chimpanzee, a man with a higher IQ than humans, escaped into this steel jungle with a population of tens of millions, carrying thirty compounds that can cause uncontrollable mutations in animals.
If this is exposed by the media, the stock price of Vought International will fall into the sewer within one day.
"Block the news, dispatch all available ground search troops, and connect me to the dedicated line Lynn."
Edgar rubbed his eyebrows, turned and walked towards the elevator.
In Long Island Estate, the confidential phone in the study room on the second floor rang.
Lynn put down the watering can in his hand and walked up the stairs slowly.
He did not avoid the children who were in the living room, but naturally opened the study door and answered the phone.
"Lynn, it seems that your assessment is very accurate. It is indeed a failure full of uncontrollable risks."
Edgar's voice came from the receiver. Although he tried his best to suppress it, Lynn still heard a trace of anger.
"It ran away?"
Lynn leaned on the desk, his tone was calm, without any surprise.
That kind of creature has high intelligence but is extremely conceited. After feeling the real threat of death, running away is the only logic.
It's just that Vought International's security is indeed as paper-like. In the original book, the Boys is just like visiting his own Backyard, he can come and go freely.
"Not only did it run away, it also took away thirty improved versions of Animal-Type Compound V."
Edgar said in a deep voice, "It has anti-reconnaissance capabilities and avoids all main road cameras. Lynn, this matter cannot be brought to the table. I need your people to find it and deal with it."
Lynn listened to the phone and looked across the window at the green Lawn outside.
Thirty Animal Compound.
The philosophical monkey probably felt that he could not fight against humans alone, so he planned to use these potions in the sewers or an abandoned zoo to create an army of mutated animals that could understand his noble theories.
"Understood, I will keep an eye on it. If it comes to my territory, I will turn it into a pile of ashes."
Lynn hung up the phone.
He walked out of the study, stood by the railing on the second floor and looked down.
John had stopped watching TV at some point. The blond boy was raising his head, Azure's eyes were staring at Lynn unblinkingly.
He owns Super Hearing, and even if Lynn is not on speakerphone, he can hear the content on the phone clearly.
"Lynn, is that the monkey that made you unhappy yesterday?"
John's voice was very soft, but there was a sense of excitement and unabashed coldness in his tone.
For John, anything that makes Lynn feel troublesome should be completely cleaned up.
"It's a disobedient animal that escaped."
Lynn walked down the stairs and reached out to rub John's golden hair, "But don't be nervous, New York is so big, it is probably hiding in some dark sewer right now and shaking."
"If it dares to come here, I will roast it with Heat Vision and feed it to Charlie."
John said seriously.
Kevin, who was teasing Goldfish next to him, heard this and was so frightened that he quickly took the kettle into his arms and muttered in a low voice, "Charlie doesn't eat roasted monkeys, Charlie only eats fish food."
Lynn couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, I'll leave your troubles to you. The weather is nice today. Backyard's Lawn I just had it trimmed by the gardening company yesterday."
Lynn clapped his hands, attracting the children's attention, "John, go find your Baseball Glove, Tommy, Stop using Telekinesis to cheat, Reggie, and if you splash mud on Annie again when running laps, you will have to watch us eat the lunch dessert."
When they heard that they could go to Backyard to play, the eyes of several little monsters instantly lit up.
As for the highly intelligent orangutan who escaped with Mutant Serum, in Lynn's eyes, this was just a bitter fruit brewed by Vought International's white coats.
As long as the monkey doesn't have the foresight to come to Long Island and disturb him from making lunch for the children, he won't be too lazy to go all over the streets to become a dog-catching brigade.
The sun shines on Backyard's flat Lawn. As Lynn's thoughts move, the invisible "boundary" quietly wraps up the entire Manor again.
