The top floor of Luthor Building.
The specially made alloy door was shattered into pieces, and the explosion-proof lock behind it was still flashing, even though it had lost its function.
Chen Mo walked in, stepping on the metal fragments scattered on the ground.
His clothes were stained with a bit of acid rain, and he was clutching a half-pack of compressed biscuits he had smuggled from the processing plant.
Good evening, Mr. Luthor.
Chen Mo glanced around, then expertly found a chair and sat down.
"Your office is nicely decorated, but the doors are a bit cheap. Didn't your website advertise that they could withstand a nuclear explosion?"
Luthor stood beside the desk, staring intently at him.
He didn't answer Chen Mo's question, but just looked towards the door.
The corridor was eerily quiet.
There were no footsteps, no communications, and no guards came to help.
Only the red warning lights kept turning, glaringly illuminating the metal wreckage scattered on the ground.
Luthor's fingers slowly tightened.
"No matter who you are, you shouldn't be here."
You should say this to yourself.
Chen Mo unpacked the compressed biscuit and took a bite.
"I walked all the way from the factory and didn't run into a single security guard. Did all the guards you hired take leave, or did they already leave early?"
Luthor's face darkened.
"There are 372 armed guards, 26 automated defense systems, and a superpowered force that can be mobilized at any time."
He stared at Chen Mo, his voice gradually turning cold.
"You think you can break into my base by smashing down a door?"
"Can't I?"
Chen Mo swallowed the biscuit and pointed behind him.
"Then I'll go out again and then barge back in?"
Luthor wasn't amused by him.
He pressed the black button on the desktop.
In an instant, the walls of the entire control room lit up with blue light.
A transparent shield descended from the ceiling, completely sealing off Chen Mo's location. Immediately afterward, the surrounding gravity suddenly increased, and the ground armor emitted a dull groan as it deformed.
Under such gravity, even the bones of an ordinary person wouldn't last more than a few seconds.
Chen Mo looked down at the soles of his shoes.
Your welcoming ceremony looks familiar.
Luthor said coldly, "Hmph, the feeling of being in a gravity field isn't pleasant, is it? Kneel down obediently, and I might consider sparing your life."
Chen Mo raised his head, a strange smile appearing on his face.
Are you misunderstanding something about me?
The next second, the gravitational field suddenly increased.
An immense pressure crashed down, causing the floor of the entire control room to collapse. The desks were crushed into thin sheets, the surrounding screens shattered one after another, and countless cracks appeared on the surface of the shield.
Chen Mo remained seated in his chair.
He even casually stuffed the remaining half of the cookie into his mouth.
Luthor's pupils contracted slightly.
"Increase the power."
The main control system responded immediately.
"The gravitational field has reached its maximum value; no structural damage was detected on the target."
"Continue."
"Warning: The device load exceeds the safety threshold."
Luthor gritted his teeth.
"I'll let you continue!"
The gravitational field intensified again.
This time, the metal floor beneath Chen Mo shattered, and a dark red substance gushed out from the cracks, like countless hands, supporting his body.
Chen Mo sat on the chair formed of solidified Blacklight, in an even more comfortable position than before.
"Stop messing around."
He brushed the cookie crumbs off his hands.
"Your tactics won't work on me. If you keep going like this, you'll only cause your own building to collapse first."
Luthor raised his hand and deactivated the gravity field.
Before the shield disappeared, dozens of high-frequency sound waves erupted simultaneously from all directions. The air began to vibrate violently, the metal decorations on the walls instantly distorted, and even people's consciousness became confused by the shrill sound.
Chen Mo frowned.
"This is noisier than before."
He extended a finger and gently tapped it on the shield in front of him.
Click.
The entire shield shattered from the point of contact, then disintegrated like glass into a shower of blue light fragments.
The high-frequency sound waves also stopped at the same time.
The main control system experienced a brief system crash.
Looking at the scene before him, Luthor finally realized that things had gone beyond his calculations.
From the moment Chen Mo stepped into the room, he had no real ability to resist.
So-called defense systems are no different from children's toys in the eyes of the opponent.
But Luthor still did not back down.
He glanced at the red button on the desktop.
Chen Mo followed his gaze.
"What, there's a grand finale?"
Luthor was silent for a moment, then reached out and pressed the button.
A dark red light curtain rose from behind the desk, and the metal structure hidden in the wall slowly opened, revealing an elevator shaft extending downwards.
The elevator has no car.
Only one huge black metal capsule was rising from underground along the track.
Luthor's face regained some composure.
"You think I would place all my hopes on ordinary troops?"
Chen Mo walked to the elevator shaft and looked down.
"I don't know, it's just that you were too confident."
"It's not an ordinary weapon."
Luthor stared at the metal capsule, a fanatical look in his eyes.
"Born from the most dangerous genetic experiments, it possesses an unstoppable ability to proliferate cells, allowing it to constantly adapt to the enemy's strength in battle."
The metal cabin was raised to the top floor.
Dozens of thick pipes were connected to the surface of the cabin, which was filled with a dark red liquid.
A heavy, pounding sound came from within.
Thump.
Thump!
Thump!!!
All the equipment in the control room vibrated slightly in response to that sound.
Chen Mo stroked his chin.
"Sounds like a big guy with a bad temper."
Luthor ignored his taunts.
"It once killed a god among men."
After those words, the room fell silent for a few seconds.
Luthor looked at Chen Mo, seemingly trying to see fear on his face.
Unfortunately, he only saw a sliver of interest.
Who is the god among men?
Luthor's expression froze.
Superman.
"Oh, the one that can fly?"
Chen Mo nodded.
"I've seen his ads, and he does have a good physique. But isn't it a bit disrespectful to scare me with a dead person?"
Luthor's temple twitched.
You won't be laughing for long.
He pressed the confirm button again.
The metal hatch latches opened one by one, and the dark red liquid quickly drained out. Inside the hatch, a large, muscular hand slammed onto the transparent observation wall.
The Five Fingers were twisted and sharp, and the nails looked as if they grew directly from black bone.
Luthor stepped back.
"Initiate the final unlocking procedure."
The system's mechanical beeping sounded.
"Warning: The experimental subject has not yet been stabilized."
"Implement."
"The experimental subject may go out of control."
"I said, execute!"
Luthor practically roared it out.
All the pipelines broke simultaneously, and a low growl echoed from inside the metal compartment.
Cracks quickly spread across the transparent bulkhead.
Chen Mo did not stop him.
He stood to the side, even stepping back half a step to make room for what was about to appear.
His main reason was that he wanted to see what the monster that killed Superman actually looked like.
Luthor clenched his fists tightly, a confident look returning to his face.
"Go, Doomsday!"
boom!
The entire metal capsule exploded on the spot.
A tall figure emerged from the smoke and dust, its body covered in grayish-white bone spurs, its thick arms hanging at its sides. It had no eyes, no words, but simply raised its head and let out a roar that shook the entire building as it looked at Chen Mo.
Luthor pressed the final command.
Kill him!
