Chapter 19: Abnormal Human Research Center
New York, Governors Island.
Located 800 yards from Lower Manhattan, an island independent in the middle of the sea, Governors Island is the largest undeveloped land parcel in New York City.
There are more than 200 buildings on the island, including magnificent buildings of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, armouries of the Civil War, and buildings of Verolia and Roman styles.
The southernmost area of the island, the 36-acre abandoned National Coast Guard base, was purchased by Chenxi Investment Company.
Wei Chen's plan is to build a comprehensive laboratory base here.
Whether it is the research and development of various new materials and weapons, the research of various superpowers, or the analysis of compound No. 5, all kinds of advanced precision experimental instruments and scientific research talents are required.
In the underground laboratory, Li An, who was illuminated by the dazzling lights, was slightly dizzy.
She shook her head, letting the dizziness out of her mind.
"What? Are you not used to it?"
Wei Chen thoughtfully handed her a glass of diet soda.
"The underground closed space does make people feel uncomfortable, drink some drinks."
"thanks."
Li'an took the soda in a daze.
After being rescued by Wei Chen, she has been hiding in the Chenxi Building, busy forging various "Owl Court" documents and documents, and rarely goes out.
Therefore, I was very surprised by Wei Chen's invitation to go out to visit.
After a little thought, she agreed. After all, she also wanted to go out to relax.
The two walked to a bright silver door, Wei Chen used his fingerprint to unlock the door.
"Drip!"
After the corridor door opened, a metal sign that read "Superhuman Felony Detention Area" came into view.
On both sides of the corridor are small rooms surrounded by explosion-proof glass, which seem to hold some prisoners.
Transparent glass, you can clearly see the inside from the outside.
Li An followed Wei Chen and walked forward cautiously.
In a room on the far left, a strong black man was imprisoned. He was holding a Rubik's cube in his hand and was concentrating on the operation.
With his operation, the blocks change into various colors in his hands - orange, red, green.
"His super power is to change the surface color of the non-living body he comes in contact with."
Wei Chen explained.
Taking a few steps forward, he saw a young man with curly hair and some malnourished licking his hands in a room on the right. What is strange is that his hands are covered with tomato sauce, and the tomato juice is still dripping down.
"His super power is that his hands can be turned into ketchup, and the specific taste can be fine-tuned."
Wei Chen shrugged his shoulders and continued to introduce her.
"Forehead......"
Li An felt that this super power was a bit of a sand sculpture.
"The last room is our old friend, the Snow Queen, Miss Anne. At present, the whereabouts of her sister Ivana are unknown, and she can only take the blame."
Wei Chen accompanied Li An to the last room, and pointed to Annie who was sitting on the bed in a daze.
Seeing the once mighty superhuman being locked in a small room, Li'an felt a little unbearable.
Maybe she noticed someone outside the corridor. Even though she couldn't see the outside scene (the explosion-proof glass can only see the inside from the outside), Annie still stood up, walked to the glass, pointed out, and slowly raised a middle finger.
Bichi! go to hell!
Li An instantly lost the little sympathy he had for Annie.
Wei Chen also saw Annie's middle finger, and slapped her back in an indelicate manner.
"It's like this, Lean, we won't use these superhumans for experiments like those mad scientists. In fact, they live very well. We only occasionally let them cooperate in some inspections, and it didn't hurt them."
"Furthermore," Wei Chen paused, "they are all criminals, committing murder or robbery, imprisoning them for a period of time is considered a punishment for them."
Wei Chen is telling the truth. Using information from the future, he can quickly find out those criminals who are superhuman and imprison them.
Of course, some of them haven't committed crimes yet, and it is estimated that they will not commit those crimes for several years or more than ten years.
In a legal sense, it should be considered an attempted crime.
But Wei Chen still captured them.
I am doing so much for your own good, in order to prevent you from harming others or having a negative impact on society in the future.
Wei Chen felt that he had done a good job.
Lean was a little puzzled, "Why are there so many superhumans in New York?"
"good question."
Wei Chen snapped his fingers, "In 1969, a meteorite fell in Wyoming. A little boy was found at the bottom of the crater. He was riding in a spaceship, you from the stars. It fell from the sky and came to the United States. This is a miracle, wow. Oh, and what could be more representative of America!"
Wei Chen continued: "This is the native of the motherland. He has a charming smile, humility, and strength. He is liked by men, women and children."
Li'an listened and stammered, "I... this is the first time I've heard this story. It's incredible."
"Ha ha!"
Wei Chen suddenly showed a mischievous smile, "Of course this story is fake, the truth is that Vought has a professional R&D team to develop No. 5 chemical cooperation. They signed a contract with baby parents across the United States. The secret agreement is to cooperate by injecting the baby with No. 5 to produce superhumans in batches. The motherland is their most perfect product."
Li An was stunned.
"It's a pity to break your fantasy. The motherland is not a god, he is just a laboratory product that grew up in a silo in South Dakota."
Li An felt a dizzy feeling that the facts he knew and the information he had been instilled since he was a child turned out to be false all along.
Superheroes are not god-given heroes, they are products made by a group of drugs!
Is there anything crazier than this?
"Are all heroes a bunch of addicts?"
"No," Wei Chen shook his head, "At least there is one other, a real non-drug-made superhuman."
He thought of the son of the motherland, the child with unlimited potential and ability not even inferior to his father.
"Well, yes. I believe that too."
Li'an suddenly said something inexplicable.
"what?"
Li'an looked into Wei Chen's eyes, "I also believe that there is at least one superhero who is not an addict. That is you - Mr. Eric, I believe you did not inject drugs, but your actions, your character, and superheroes Heroes are no different."
"me?"
Wei Chen touched his nose and felt a little ashamed.
"Well, Mr. Eric. No one has ever helped me and my brother, except you, never before, and never will. There are times when walking alone in the dark and seeing a light, that's all it means to me. Hope. Mr. Eric, I will help you no matter what, no matter what you want to do."
