The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 208
After entering the underground base, Alex did not rush to see Dr. Manhattan. Instead, he used the excuse that he needed to change clothes and took the time to go to several different places, such as the toilet, locker room, dormitory, and kitchen.

And every time he went to a place, he would take out a miniature nuclear bomb that had been hidden in his own flesh and blood, and hide them in a place where ordinary people could hardly detect it.

According to his memory, the underground research institute covers an area of ​​several thousand square meters. A single micro-nuclear bomb would not be enough to completely destroy everything here.

Although the high temperature generated by the explosion can basically kill most humans, it is best to install a few more just in case.

In order to make it difficult for others to detect the weapon he said was hidden, Alex even flushed the smallest miniature nuclear bomb into the sewer.

If you want to find it, you have to dig a pit.

But he didn't wait too long. Dr. Manhattan was not a good-tempered person. If he waited too long, he would definitely arouse his suspicion.

After deploying the micro-nuclear bomb, Alex took a gentle breath, looked in the mirror, and adjusted his expression to Wilson's slightly rigid facial expression.

Then he followed the route he remembered and walked towards Dr. Manhattan's office. He was finally going to see the bastard who ruined his family again.

No matter what, this bastard is dead today. He came down with so many nuclear bombs this time, and he has made the worst plan to die with Manhattan.

Of course, if the plan goes well, he doesn't have to die.

A few minutes later, after bypassing layers of security protection, Alex finally met the old man in a luxurious office.

He has a smooth scalp, a gloomy face, and a pair of flat myopic glasses. His mean eyes always have a sense of contempt that regards human life as insignificant, as if ordinary people are not of the same species as him.

And it is precisely because of Manhattan's crazy ambitions that seduced the powerful men that the world becomes what it is today.

Entering the office, looking at Wilson played by Alex in front of him, Dr. Manhattan still had no good expression on his face. He stared at Alex with his gloomy eyes and said calmly:

"Captain Wilson, you actually made me wait for you for 10 minutes in vain."

"You should know very well how valuable my time is."

"Did your trivial victory make you arrogant?"

Alex raised his head and looked at him, just hummed lightly and said nothing else.

After confirming that the old man in front of him was really Dr. Manhattan in his memory, and not some substitute or clone, Alex could no longer suppress the strong anger and hatred in his heart.

The old man was only four or five meters away from him now. At his speed, unless Manhattan could move instantly, he would never be able to escape.

Sensing the change in Alex's attitude, Dr. Manhattan's expression changed slightly, as if he had some doubts about the person in front of him.

However, before he could react, Alex, who was standing in front of him, appeared beside him in an instant, grabbing his throat with his right hand like a steel claw and lifting his body slightly. Directly in control.

In fact, if it weren't for the chance to escape from the underground base and avoid being killed by the power of the nuclear bomb explosion, Alex would not control Manhattan like this at all, but would directly miss him to pieces.

However, this old man has the highest status and power in the Freemasonry, and is the best shield at any time.

Dr. Manhattan also seemed to be confused by what was happening in front of him, when his throat was grabbed tightly by Alex.

The blockage of air made the nearly 60-year-old man turn pale, and then his face turned purple due to the pain of suffocation.

His hands couldn't help but grab Alex's arm, and he kicked his legs wildly, trying with all his strength to pull away the arm that was holding his throat.

Alex would not sympathize with this old bastard. With a hint of pleasure on his face, he directly grabbed the old man's arms with his left hand, twisted them hard, and folded them in half. The broken bones came out directly from the arms. came out, and the flesh and blood on his arms were directly crushed into pulp due to the huge force.

The usually aloof chief scientist had never experienced such pain. His eyes, which always showed a mean look, popped out. His pupils were instantly filled with bloodshot eyes, and his whole body was shaking, even if Alex pinched his throat. , could not cover up his painful wails.

Seeing Manhattan's legs kicking harder in pain, a cruel smile appeared on Alex's lips, and he kicked Manhattan's knees mercilessly, causing the old man's legs to shatter and fracture. , causing him to completely lose the ability to move.

In just ten seconds, the chief scientist, who held one of the highest positions in Freemasonry, was reduced to a cripple with all limbs lost in his hands.

The movement in the office also attracted the attention of the guards outside.

Several guards with weapons rushed in alertly. When they saw the tragic situation of Dr. Manhattan, fear and anger immediately filled their faces. They clenched the weapons in their hands and roared hysterically. road:
"Wilson, what are you doing? Let go of Dr. Manhattan."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that based on Dr. Manhattan's current condition, even if he is rescued, he probably only has half his life left.

And these soldiers who are responsible for guarding will definitely be severely punished for this. Now is the end of the world. Without the constraints of the law, those who make mistakes will have a high probability of losing their lives.

Facing the gun, Alex's expression did not change at all. His appearance at this time was still that of Wilson. Therefore, no one, including the guards, would have thought about why the most loyal captain in this base would be like this. Treat your superiors.

After waiting for several minutes until Dr. Manhattan's deputy, Dr. Pruitt, arrived in the office, Alex spoke to him:
"Dr. Pruitt, I got the news that Dr. Manhattan has betrayed our Freemasonry. The bases we have lost recently are all because of this bastard's betrayal."

"I have to hand it over to other senior management now."

After hearing this, Dr. Pruitt squinted his eyes to examine Alex's expression, and then looked at Dr. Manhattan, who was paralyzed in his arms, with all his limbs broken, incontinent, and dying.

He knew very well that it was impossible for Dr. Manhattan to betray the Freemasons. After all, he himself was one of the most important top leaders of the Freemasons. How could anyone betray him?
However, as the second manager of this secret institute and a member of the same faction as Dr. Manhattan, he must save Dr. Manhattan's life for his own sake.

So, Dr. Pruitt thought for a few seconds and asked tentatively:

"What do you want Wilson to do?"

"Even if Dr. Manhattan betrays us, that will require a formal interrogation. We can't just take your word for it."

Alex, disguised as Wilson, nodded and said to Pruitt:
"I'm going to take him to see General Caspian. When we get in front of the general, we will have a formal trial meeting." Pruitt frowned after hearing this. Within the Freemasonry, General Caspian is Doctor Manhattan. The two often had disagreements and conflicts. Now that Wilson has kidnapped Dr. Manhattan, he has some doubts that this may be General Caspian's conspiracy.

However, Dr. Manhattan is the most important chief scientist to the entire Freemasonry. As long as he is still in the hands of the Freemasonry, no senior executive will choose to kill him.

With this in mind, Pruitt chose not to provoke Wilson for the time being. He believed that Wilson must have been bewitched by other high-ranking Freemasons to do such a thing.

As for Dr. Manhattan who is now tortured to the brink of death, this is nothing. With the current zombie technology, as long as the person is not dead, it is easy to cure him. At most, he will become infected with the zombie virus.

In this way, with the top leader, Dr. Manhattan, almost falling into a coma, Alex held Manhattan hostage, and accompanied by Dr. Pruitt, they walked out of this underground research institute hundreds of meters underground.

Even halfway, Alex asked Dr. Pruitt to bring the precious meteorite of extraterrestrial life on the grounds that the underground research institute was no longer safe.

Of course, his proposal was severely rejected by Pruitt. However, after Alex threatened Dr. Manhattan's life, he tortured the dying old man and agreed to let a team of a hundred elite soldiers After accepting the escort conditions, Dr. Pruitt reluctantly agreed to Alex's request.

By the time a group of them dawdled to the exit of the underground research institute, nearly four to ten minutes had passed.

Seeing the several-meter-thick alloy metal door at the door being slowly lifted, Alex breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the gate was surrounded by Masonic soldiers, he was more afraid of the miniature nuclear bombs he had hidden in the underground base than the ordinary firearms and weapons outside.

These nuclear bombs can not only be remotely controlled to detonate manually, but they are also set with a one-hour timed explosion time inside. Once activated, they cannot be stopped. Even if someone can open the shell of the miniature nuclear bomb, it will only cause the nuclear bomb to explode in advance.

Looking outside the underground base, he saw the soldiers staring at him, and Dr. Pruitt, who was following him with a gloomy expression.

Alex indifferently dragged the dead Dr. Manhattan outside the metal door, then turned back and showed a weird smile to Dr. Pruitt.

Before anyone could react, he inserted his hands into Dr. Manhattan's chest.

Along with the blood spurting out, countless black tentacles emerged from various places on his body, and it only took a second to wrap Dr. Manhattan in them.

As Dr. Pruitt and the other soldiers roared, feared, surprised, or had dull expressions, Alex turned into a ball of black tentacles and instantly swallowed Dr. Manhattan's flesh and blood. within one’s own body.

His actions instantly made everyone around him go crazy. No one could care about anything else. They picked up the weapons in their hands and attacked with a roar.

Alex sneered coldly. Against the roaring firepower of the soldiers, he showed his true appearance in front of everyone. Then, at his fastest speed, he walked along the outer wall of the underground base towards the people outside the base. direction to flee.

At the same time, the remote control buried in Alex's body was also triggered by him. Eight of the largest micro-nuclear bombs exploded instantly, turning into torches comparable to the sun, instantly evaporating all surrounding objects. .

In just a second or two, without giving everyone in the base any chance to react, the ground above the underground research institute collapsed, and at the cracks in these collapses, countless hot flames instantly devoured everything in the base. .

Everyone, including Dr. Pruitt at the entrance to the underground base, was reduced to dust in the flames and explosions.

Under the nuclear explosion, all living beings are equal.

Ten minutes later, the dust settled. The largest base of Freemasonry was exploded by eight micro-nuclear bombs, leaving only a huge pit made of soil. All buildings, including the underground base, had disappeared.

All Freemasons were either directly gasified in the explosion, or died in the huge shock wave.

And even if they didn't die instantly, it's impossible to survive the hot fallout.

And because of the special explosion method that was buried underground, a huge amount of soil was carried into the sky by the explosion. They formed large tracts of dark clouds, blocking very little of the sunlight in the sky and reducing the visibility here. It has dropped seriously, almost to the point where I can't even see my fingers.

But even so, in this dangerous environment, Jesus still led the members of the Sting Team to rush over as quickly as possible and entered the radioactive ruins without hesitation.

This was a major victory that could be recorded in history. They succeeded in giving Freemasonry a heavy blow.

As the biggest contributor to this operation, they must confirm Alex's life and death and bring this human hero back to the Human League as much as possible.

It was the only thing they could do for Alex.

Although the power armor on his body protected Jesus and others from being harmed by the surrounding radiation and high temperature, they were also unable to determine Alex's location due to the interference of powerful radiation.

After busying for more than ten minutes and still achieving nothing, Jesus had to instruct his soldiers to use the most primitive method.

They turned on the small speakers equipped with the power armor and shouted loudly while searching:
"Mr. Alex, where are you?"

"Mr. Alex, if you are buried, please give us some signal if you can."

They searched and shouted, almost walking through the entire ruins, but unfortunately, there was still no result.

Just when they were about to give up after searching for nearly an hour, a group of life forms composed of black tentacles struggled to crawl out of the soil.

The appearance of this group of living beings is extremely terrifying. The whole body is scorched black, with mud and flesh sticking to the body. Only the bare skull is left on the head, and all the limbs have been torn off. It is impossible to distinguish his identity from the appearance.

And in the abdomen of this strange life form, a purple crystal meteorite the size of a watermelon was clamped tightly between his muscles, emitting a strange shimmer.

However, after seeing this strange life form, Jesus and others did not hesitate. They immediately took out a large ball of clean cloth, wrapped it in it, and then took him away from the ruins.

There is so much movement here, and if they don't leave, they will definitely be blocked by other Masonic troops.

As for that strange life body, besides Alex, there is no other creature with such powerful vitality on the entire earth.
