"One, two... sixteen, seventeen, one is missing, who are they?"
In the towering city of Manhattan, dozens of monsters were leaping and running between the tall buildings, causing loud screams and constantly chasing after Alex.
Alex was gliding in the air, and seeing that there was one less monster chasing him, the faces of the three people he had just seen flashed through his mind.
Swish!
The monsters move quite fast. Although they cannot glide in the air like Alex, their strong limb muscles and tough claws allow them to walk between tall buildings as if on flat ground.
One of the monsters came to the wall of a building close to Alex who was sliding, and when the opportunity was right, it exerted force with its limbs, crossed a distance of more than ten meters in an instant, and swung its sharp claws to grab Alex's body.
Alex glided in the air and stepped on the top of the attacking monster's head with one side of his body, causing it to fall to the ground like a cannonball. At the same time, he used the force of the force to reach the roof of a residential building.
Boom!
The monster crashed into the ground from a height of more than ten meters with a loud roar, creating a half-meter-deep hole in the cement road surface, and spider-web-like cracks spread from the center of the impact to the surrounding areas.
Alex lowered his head slightly and glanced at the monster struggling to get up from the pit, frowning slightly.
These monsters were much more difficult to deal with than he had initially thought. They were agile, powerful, and like cockroaches, possessed extremely strong vitality.
If there were fewer of them, with his strength, he could slowly kill these monsters, but with so many coming at once...
He looked at the monsters that were gradually surrounding him from all directions, his face twitched, and he turned around and ran away.
Thanks to Blackwatch for taking care of him since he showed up, as the saying goes, courtesy is the right thing to do, so he has to give them a big gift.
The roar of the ferocious monster gradually returned to calm as Alex left the neighborhood.
Many brave residents walked to the windows, opened them, and looked out carefully.
"Oh my god! What are those things? I'm going to post them on the Internet for everyone to see!"
"I knew the government must be hiding something. No! I have to find a way to leave this damn city!"
"I want to call the police. A monster has appeared in the ** neighborhood! Are you lying? Fuck! I *&*%*&"
"Mom, I'm so scared."
"Don't worry, baby, Iron Man is here to protect you."
All kinds of remarks appeared in the homes of nearby residents. For a time, the phone at the nearby police station kept ringing. The spread of some photos and videos on the Internet also caused an uproar.
…
As dusk gradually approached, under the street lights, Colin held a mobile phone and talked with Prince Wahar of Dubai.
“… You said your father can’t make a decision? Hey, man, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once my plan succeeds, Dubai will really stand up and no longer be a broiler raised by Western countries.”
"...Risk? Yes, there are definitely risks in this matter, but the main risk is on me. Compared with me, the risk you bear is simply negligible. If you dare not take such a risk, then Dubai is not the only option for me."
"Vesbania, I think you should know, Queen Mira..."
"… Go and persuade your father again? Tell him not to worry?"
"Listen, Vahar, we don't have much time. Considering the preparations that need to be made in advance, time is very tight, so I don't have the time for you to think slowly. You must give me an accurate answer as soon as possible, otherwise I will..."
"… Tomorrow? Okay, tomorrow. Believe me, Wahar. Working with me will definitely be the greatest fortune for you and Dubai."
After hanging up the phone, Colin threw the phone into his pocket.
The connection with Wahal was the last piece of the puzzle in his plan, and now it seems that Dubai is obviously attracted by the blueprint he promised. The only concern is that he cannot do what he promised.
But it doesn't matter. In the early stage, there is no need for Dubai to help. Just watch. Once he finishes his work and demonstrates real capabilities, you can join in. It won't be that easy to withdraw if you want to.
He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath to temporarily solve his problem.
Just as he was about to go back to the laboratory to continue researching a vaccine that could completely solve the Black Light Virus, his hearing ability far exceeded that of an ordinary person, but he heard faint screams of fear coming from afar.
"This voice sounds really frightened. Could it be that someone infected with the virus has exploded right now?"
He stood there pondering for a while, then took a step and his body instantly flew dozens of meters into the air and rushed towards the place where the sound came from.
…
Boom!
Loud crashing sounds continued to be heard. On one street, potholes were everywhere on the concrete road surface, closed shops were in a mess, and a large tree that served as a landscape lay across the road.
Alex, with a pale face, dodged a monster's attack and ran quickly in one direction.
The nearest military base to the genetic engineering experimental base is about five kilometers in diameter.
Normally, this distance would only take a few minutes.
But now there are those monsters chasing behind, and the distance that seemed close in the past is now quite difficult to reach.
And... Alex silently sensed the energy in his body, and his face looked a little ugly.
The effect of energy is similar to that of a normal person's physical strength, but his body can do much more.
Rapid recovery, body shape changes, and even now strength and speed far beyond that of ordinary people, all depend on the biological energy in the body to support it.
Once the energy is exhausted, death probably won't occur, but falling into a dormant state is certain.
Among them, the regeneration of damaged cells consumes the most energy. After being attacked by the monsters behind him all the way, he now has only about 60% of the energy left in his body.
Once he reached the danger point, he had to use the method he hated to quickly restore his energy.
Maybe I could find an opportunity to suck these monsters away... Alex looked back and pondered.
His ability is to absorb evolution. If he really swallows a monster, his strength may be greatly improved.
But... I can't find an opportunity for now.
Although these monsters have low IQs, they are not completely brainless, but they will not give him time to absorb.
boom!
A fast-running monster came to Alex and smashed down with its sharp claws.
Alex bent down to avoid it, stepped on his feet, and rolled to another place.
Just as he was about to turn over and stand up, ready to deal with the next attack, he suddenly discovered that a young-looking Asian man grabbed the monster's neck with one hand, and turned the monster, which was full of vitality, into a dead tree in front of the naked eye.
