Chapter 188 Successful Mouth Escape
"Are you sure she will come?"
"Of course, let me tell you this, I had sex with this deputy director once in a dirty bathroom stall in a bar, and she could never refuse me."
"It's best. Just to remind you, buddy, all cooperation between us is based on your reliable government background. If I find out that you are cheating on me, I will rip off your penis and stuff it into your mouth." inside!"
".OK, I like the threat."
In the suburbs, outside an abandoned factory, Lange couldn't help but take a few more glances at Butcher beside him.
He was about forty years old, with a slightly aged beard, and the old black windbreaker on his body seemed to be forever stained with traces of travel.
Well, although it doesn't look good, after spending a few days together, Lange can deeply feel this rough man's firm will and determination to achieve his goals by any means.
It's not impossible to seduce the deputy director of the CIA with this kind of alternative charm.
In the distance, the roar of cars gradually became clearer. A Saroban, a favorite of old American public officials, slowly approached and finally stopped dozens of meters away.
The car door opened, and a middle-aged woman with extraordinary temperament wearing a smart women's suit stepped out.
Upon seeing this, Butcher immediately opened his arms, chewed gum in his mouth, and greeted him enthusiastically: "Look, our deputy director of the CIA has arrived! Long time no see, Susan!"
“You fuckin’ Fuck is like the damn mold on the tiles in my laundry room!”
The deputy director named Susan complained angrily when she saw him: "Every time I scrape it off, it always grows back!"
Butcher responded with his trademark crooked smile and responded easily: "It seems that all your problems are caused by moisture. My dear, I can help you solve this moisture problem now."
Susan sneered, pointed directly at her nose, and gave a stern warning: "Don't do this! Say what you say, I have to rush back to Langley in the afternoon."
"OK, OK" Butcher raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, then smiled and said, "I have conceived a perfect plan for Watt Company, now."
"Shet!" Susan's face darkened when she heard this, "Eight years! Eight years ago, you and the colonel began to plan the superhuman plan against Walter. What was the result? Not only was Walter unscathed, but he became stronger and stronger. Infiltrated into the military! And you, the colonel’s grandson was burned alive by the lamplighter, and so was your wife.”
She paused her words at this moment, and did not fully tell the cruel facts, but instead persuaded: "Stop it, you ordinary people can't defeat Walter! With your past experience, I can help you in action Find a position here and go back to live a normal life, okay?”
After hearing this, Butcher didn't hesitate at all. He shook his head and said with a smile: "I can't go back, I can't go back Susan, stop saying these meaningless words. Now I have only one goal in life, to bring down Walter. Death to our countrymen!”
"HOW?"
Susan opened her arms and asked with a hint of questioning in her tone: "Do you know how far the power of Walter Company has grown? Do you want to bring it down? Why do you want to bring it down?"
"That's all!"
Butcher decisively took out a document bag from his arms, quickly pulled out a stack of photos, and slapped it heavily on the hood of the car.
Under the threat of death last night, the Invisible Man did not hesitate to reveal all the secrets about Watt Company, the most critical of which was a blue reagent called [Compound No. 5].
He insists that this agent can stimulate the growth of superhuman cells, like a super stimulant, greatly enhancing their abilities.
Due to the special nature of the invisible man's ability, he witnessed the locomotive using this agent in private many times.
What's more, he also revealed the address of Locomotive's girlfriend.
Although the members of the Seven all live in the Watt Building, Locomotive often goes out at night to meet his girlfriend, where the 'No. 5 Compound' may be hidden.
After learning this clue, the team members, except Lango, acted immediately, pretending to be community workers, and installed a miniature camera in the apartment of the locomotive's girlfriend.
As a result, they successfully captured the locomotive self-injecting No. 5 compound.
"It's the equivalent of giving metahumans some kind of enhancer or steroid that instantly enhances their abilities."
Butcher explained: "Vought is trying to infiltrate the military defense system and apply for transnational law enforcement powers. If we make these photos public and spread rumors and let the public know that the so-called superhumans are just drug addicts, then they will The dream of entering the Ministry of Defense will be shattered!”
Susan carefully looked through the photos taken. The black guy above was indeed the engine of the Seven. Butcher would not joke about this, but this blue compound No. 5...
She frowned and asked, "Let's wait until you get the sample. Also, you actually arrested the invisible man? Is he still alive?"
Butcher smiled and said nothing.
"OK" Susan's face turned livid instantly, and she said angrily: "I really shouldn't be here!"
After leaving these words, she turned around and was about to get in the car and leave. Any member of the seven-member team was the face of Vought Company. Once someone disappeared or died, Vought Company would do its best to trace it.
Being closely associated with Butcher and others will undoubtedly increase the risk of being implicated.
At this moment, Butcher hurriedly shouted: "Listen, if the CIA continues to do nothing, it is only a matter of time before superhumans enter the military. You think they are bad enough now? Then you just wait to see them put on camouflage uniforms How it looks after that!”
"Do you think the people of the motherland will obey orders? With his giant baby-like mind, he may escalate a small conflict into a world war at any time!"
"Do you want to experience another missile crisis? Put the fate of the country on that maniac in a cape?!"
Susan, who had already sat back in the car, suddenly stopped. She stared directly at Butcher, and then clapped her hands: "Wow, you really worked hard to convince me."
She sighed softly, then nodded: "Give me the sample of Compound No. 5 as soon as possible. If everything goes well, we may be able to prevent them from entering the national defense system. But the problem is... Even if Walter fails to enter the military, what can he do? how?"
Susan shrugged: "They are now one of the most successful media groups in the world, with hundreds of superheroes as spokespersons all over the world. They even have civilian law enforcement powers in some places! They can act like those FBI bastards at any time , I will deduct your name and kill you. So, tell me, what is your so-called plan to bring down Walter? If there is only such a so-called No. 5 compound, then this will be our last cooperation."
"Let me answer this question."
The strong wind passed by, and Rango, who was dozens of meters away a second ago, came to Susan in the blink of an eye, "Rango Winchester, nice to meet you."
"."
More than an hour later.
The Chevrolet SUV drove away quickly and eventually disappeared from their sight.
Just now, Lange explained his plan in detail to the female deputy director of the CIA, but what made him a little unhappy was that the other party seemed to be more interested in the air battle between him and his motherland that was not seen in the media, and spent nearly half an hour. time to ask for details.
Apparently, although the mainstream media did not report it, the aerial battle had spread like wildfire in high-level circles, and Lango's existence was widely known.
Although the deputy director treated him with enthusiasm, the vigilance in his eyes could not be concealed. Especially when Lango mentioned that he wanted to start a company composed of superhuman beings, the doubts and disappointment almost overflowed from his eyes. It was obvious that he was They are regarded as beings similar to the Vought Company and the people of the motherland.
After chatting with himself for a few more words casually, he got in the car and left, leaving only a trail of exhaust fumes for them.
"Looks like she doesn't agree with our plan?" Lange looked at Butcher.
Butcher smiled bitterly and did not deny it: "Yes, just one Watt Company has already caused them a lot of headaches. If you want to raise another flag, how can they nod so easily."
"But I have made it clear that I am willing to let the CIA take a stake, and our company will work closely with the CIA to fight against the power of Vought."
Butcher smiled after hearing this. He really didn't know how to explain it. After pondering for a moment, he said earnestly: "Lango, you may not know enough about Walter Company. I admit that you are very strong, even the people of the motherland." I can only draw a tie with you, but the problem is that the people of the motherland are not the biggest trump card of Watt Company."
He patted Lango's shoulder lightly and continued: "Walter has deployed hundreds of superpowers across the country, and almost every important community has his eyes. What's more, all the superpowers in North America Children with potential are educated in their private schools and become members of Walter directly after graduation. Do you know what this means?”
Without waiting for Lange to answer, Butcher revealed the answer on his own: "They have a steady stream of reserve forces. Even if the government cooperates with you, with the size of Vought Company, both the military and the CIA will only hide in the dark. You go out and fight them! But you are alone."
"Even if you can deal with the people of the motherland, can you still deal with the hundreds of superpowers they have spread across the country?"
"Give up, Lango, your idea is too idealistic. Why don't you listen to me and solve the problem of Compound No. 5 first, gradually penetrate it, and disintegrate Walter from the inside."
However, Lange just smiled faintly, without any frustration in his eyes.
He looked at Butcher and said firmly: "Take me to see the colonel you talk about."
"Meet her?" Butcher looked embarrassed: "She has retired, and I don't have a good relationship with her. I suggest"
"Stop talking nonsense, why don't you take me to see her, or why don't you go play with Walter on your own!"
".OK."
Deep in the Vought Building, Starlight stood in front of the mirror, facing her first criminal arrest mission, feeling both nervous and full of anticipation.
She clenched her fists, pressed them against her chest, and took a deep breath, silently cheering herself up.
Although she caught many thieves in the small town when she was in her hometown, her identity at that time was just a small town girl with super powers. But now she has become the star of the Super Seven, a star that everyone is eyeing. , her Instagram and Twitter followers have skyrocketed by tens of millions since she announced her seven-member team identity two days ago.
The number of fans of many Hollywood superstars is far less than her own, and her every move now attracts the attention of countless people.
This attention is exactly what she longs for. She longs to be a righteous example in the hearts of children all over the world, showing the tenacity and strength of women!
Ding dong——
The text message on the phone rang.
Seeing the name Rango shown as the sender, a sweet smile broke out on her face. After looking around to make sure there was no one there, she quickly opened the message.
But after seeing the above content, she bit her lip in embarrassment. She was a devout Christian who had been baptized since birth, and Lange actually asked her to
But recalling that Lango had stood up for her, after hesitating for a moment, she quietly walked into the bathroom stall. As the clothes fell lightly, the sound of the camera shutter rang in the silence.
At the same time, in the president's office downstairs, the atmosphere was solemn. Edgar, the leader of Walter Company, looked at the people from the motherland opposite him with his signature indifferent eyes, with unquestionable authority in his tone.
"Regarding the fierce battle between you and Lango in the sky yesterday, the company has taken emergency measures and successfully blocked all video materials, ensuring that except for a few insiders, the public's scandal against you has not been affected."
"Scandal?" The motherland man frowned, obviously disgusted with this word, "I didn't lose to him, at most it was a tie."
"But for you, failure to win is a stain." Edgar's voice was calm and firm, and the eyes behind his glasses revealed deep dissatisfaction. "The company spares no expense every year just to create your impeccable heroic image." . You should be lucky that the battlefield is in the sky, otherwise your embarrassing appearance would have spread to all directions. "
The native of the country who was still patiently listening suddenly stood up when he heard this, glared at the opponent, and shouted: "I didn't lose to him!"
"However, you also didn't win."
Edgar did not back down and looked directly into the superhero's eyes, his tone full of reproach, "Madeline and I have warned you many times not to act rashly to find Lango. The company is trying to establish contact with him, you But you are like a willful child, making enemies for the company for no reason, especially when the opponent is stronger than you!"
"Let me say it for the last time!" The motherland couldn't bear it anymore and almost poked the tip of Edgar's nose with his finger. "He is not better than me. I will never lose to him!"
"Really?" Edgar sneered, with a touch of sarcasm on his lips, "Go look in the mirror, kid, the wound under your concealer is still red and swollen."
His words were like a sharp knife, piercing the pain of the people of the motherland.
The eyes of the motherland flashed red, but Edgar was not afraid at all. He just said lightly: "What, you want to kill me with your laser eyes? You can give it a try."
At this time, Vice President Madeline intervened at the right time. She gently stood between the two of them and comforted him: "Calm down, fellow countryman. He did not defeat you. We all saw the scene when you broke his shield. In this case, you go to my office first and we will have a good talk later."
Looking at the two people singing together, the motherland took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, sneered, and pushed the door open.
After he left, Madeleine's face quickly darkened, while Edgar continued to tap on the table, looking extremely anxious.
"The people of the motherland have become increasingly uncontrollable. Did you see that he even dares to show murderous intent towards me now?"
Madeleine nodded slowly, and then blamed herself: "I'm sorry, Mr. Edgar, as his direct manager, I failed to train the people of the motherland on the right path."
After Edgar thought for a moment, he made a decision: "Reduce the exposure of the motherland and shift the company's resources to Starlight. Push her with all your strength. This girl is good-looking and can be cultivated to be like America's sweetheart."
"I understand that she is easier to control than the people from the motherland." Madeleine nodded and took note.
"By the way." Edgar asked curiously: "Is she still a virgin?"
"Well, it should be. I heard from her mother that their family are all devout Christians, and Xingguang is particularly devout. She has never done anything beyond the rules of Passion since she was a child."
"It's good. Conservatives in the Midwest and South don't want to see a woman like Maeve who is more powerful than men. A religious sweetheart of America will be a big help to her approval rating."
After finishing speaking, Edgar looked at Madeleine and whispered: "Find an opportunity to let us meet that Lange through starlight. Although this guy is powerful, his personality is not incapable of communication. The company needs someone A superhuman being who can balance the people of the motherland.”
"I see."
Madeleine nodded slightly, and then said in confusion: "I have looked through the list of all the subjects who have been injected with Compound No. 5 in the past thirty years, but I have never seen anyone named Lango."
"The name should have been changed, but that's not important. You can ask the people of the motherland sideways later what they talked about after the truce with Lango."
"good."
What they didn't know was that at this time, in a forest farm hundreds of kilometers away from them, Lango, whom the two intended to recruit, was discussing with others a plan on how to overthrow them.
The sun shone on him through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Lange glanced at the photos sent by Xingguang on his phone. He smiled and sent her a time address. Then he put the phone back in his pocket calmly and turned his eyes to the owner sitting opposite.
This is a woman over seventy years old. Her silver hair is meticulously combed and she wears a well-fitting women's suit. Her temperament is somewhat similar to that of Susan, the former deputy director of the CIA.
Colonel Mallory has served in the Pentagon and CIA, and has participated in many wars on terrorism. Eight years ago, she accepted a secret mission from the Pentagon to secretly fight against the superhuman power of Vought Corporation, and successfully instigated the rebellion of multiple superhumans. But after an accident, he chose to retire and live a peaceful life.
At this time, she was digesting what Lange said. After a moment, she slowly opened her mouth and asked the first key question: "There are several questions I want to clarify. First, what is the profit point of your company? where?"
"Oh" Lange was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the woman with a military background would ask such a business question. He explained: "Profit is not our primary goal. Our funds mainly come from government grants, and the company's The purpose is to monitor and correct the wrongdoings of superhuman beings.”
He patted Butcher on the shoulder beside him, "As you can see, Butcher and I hate those superhumans who claim to be righteous but actually endanger society. Every year, the number of people they accidentally kill due to out-of-control abilities is shocking. But with us, This will never happen again. We will be the check and balance for superhuman behavior, and any superhuman who violates laws and regulations will be punished as he should, including the arrogant motherland."
"OK, I understand what you mean." Colonel Mallory heard a faint smile on his lips, "Lango, although your idea is good, it is too idealistic. In this society, superhumans have been associated with certain Groups are considered an established form of human beings, like LGBT, and action against them must be supported by legislation from Congress.”
"This is not a problem." Butcher intervened at the right time. He took out a heavy document bag from his arms and showed it to Colonel Mallory: "This is all the scandalous evidence about superhuman beings that I have collected since you retired, Colonel. As long as you can withstand Watt’s pressure, it is not impossible to push the bill through.”
Lange also added: "As far as I know, both law enforcement agencies and the military have long been dissatisfied with the expansion of superhuman beings. In the name of justice, they cross the line and even try to get involved in the military. Once there is a suitable opportunity, these forces will definitely unite to put pressure on Walter.”
However, Colonel Mallory still had concerns. She looked at the documents on the table and finally shook her head: "Even if the superhuman bill is passed, we will issue a law enforcement license to your company, but"
She pointed at Lango, "You are also a superhuman. Just as you don't trust Walter, how can we ensure that your actions will not deviate from your original intention?"
After hearing this, Lange smiled nonchalantly and said, "What you said makes sense, but it's a pity that you can only choose to trust me, Colonel."
He pointed at himself and said seriously: "I am the only super human on this planet who can compete with the people of the motherland. Without my power, if you want to control him, I am afraid you need to use the military power of the entire country. Among them You know the stakes better than I do.”
The colonel stared at Lango's unquestionable eyes. After thinking for a moment, he nodded slowly: "The last and most core question. The Vought Company has spread superhuman forces across the United States, and there are hundreds of them in New York alone. You In addition to a few ordinary people such as Butcher, how can a newly established company be effectively supervised by you, a superhuman supporter?"
There was seriousness and reminder in her tone: "Although the military can provide you with financial support, it will never directly intervene in your confrontation with Walter."
"Hahaha, of course, I don't expect you soldiers with guns either."
Hearing this, Lange smiled heartily: "You don't have to worry about the manpower issue. I will go back to my hometown in a few days and summon a large group of strong men to come over."
"Superhuman?"
"Uh, more or less."
Colonel Mallory nodded slightly, and his eyes became firm: "You removed the lamplighter for me, and I will remember this kindness in my heart. I will take your plan and these documents to the Pentagon to discuss with my old friends, But I hope you don’t have too high expectations.”
She explained candidly: "There are many people in the military who are influenced by Walter, and they even have leverage in their hands. This is why Walter dares to covet the national defense system. All I can say is that I will do my best."
Lange frowned slightly. In his opinion, if the other party said they tried their best, there would be a high probability that the matter would not be possible.
He tapped his knee, and after a moment, he said with a trace of regret: "Speaking of which, if I had known that Colonel your two lovely grandsons were killed by the lamplighter, I should have tortured that guy well and then killed him That’s right.”
When he mentioned his deceased relatives, Mallory's face turned gloomy, he forced a wry smile and said no more words.
Lange then winked at Butcher and signaled him to go out first. Although this guy was a little strange, he still went out of the house honestly.
After he left, Lange said seriously: "Colonel, to tell you the truth, what I hate the most is the word "try your best". Let's do this. I will make a deal with you. If you can successfully pass the bill and help I got my law enforcement license."
His voice became lower and lower, but Mallory still heard the next words, and his lips trembled in shock: "This is impossible, they have been dead for eight years, there are no corpses, they have all turned into ashes."
"Of course it's not possible here, but I have a car."
Outside the house, Butcher didn't know what they were talking about inside, but when he saw the scene inside through the glass window, he was shocked and froze.
Colonel Mallory, who had not smiled for eight years, actually held Lango's arm tightly with some sobs, his eyes revealing strong surprise and eager desire.
this.
Butcher was shocked.
This bastard Lango can even hook up with a seventy-year-old female colonel? !
Late at night, everything was quiet, but the atmosphere in a suite of a luxury hotel was extremely hot.
Suddenly, screams broke the silence, and Starlight's eyes seemed to be lit up. Golden light shot out from her eyes like searchlights, illuminating the entire room in a brilliant light.
Seeing this, Lange quickly activated his [Sports Car Head] ability, and his body almost turned into blurry afterimages, which complemented the increasingly blazing golden light in Starlight's eyes.
Half an hour later, everything calmed down. Starlight shyly nestled in Rango's arms and whispered softly: "My eyes light up every time, but they have never been as bright as tonight."
"Yeah. Light ejection phenomenon, right?"
Lange joked with a smile. He gently touched Xingguang's smooth skin and marveled secretly.
Under the extreme impact of [Sports Car Head] speed, even a speed that is unbearable for ordinary people is just a piece of cake for her. Even to the point of smoking, she still shows no pain. This physique is so strong, It's really outrageous.
"I have to leave for a few days to deal with some things. You have to be careful in Walter Company."
"Don't worry, with you as a deterrent, everyone in the company will be very kind to me."
Lange nodded, then raised his hand and slowly pressed her into the bed.
After an unknown amount of time, Xingguang couldn't help but stick his head out from under the quilt. After wiping the corners of his mouth, he asked expectantly: "Then what is our relationship now?"
"Stop talking and continue."
