American comic book red Superman

Euron raised a confident smile and pointed with one hand at the massive underwater barrier.

"This prison was designed and built by countless researchers across the country over a period of ten years. It is divided into many areas for different types of superhumans and will also store some supernatural objects. Starting today, the prison will be put into use, and superhuman criminals from all over the country will be transferred here."

In the brightly lit corridor, Ou Men was showing Hua Xin around and explaining things about the prison.

The prison is not complicated. It is divided into three main areas from the outside to the inside, and each main area is further subdivided into several smaller areas. The cells have different functions and are used to hold different types of prisoners. The prison also has four main gates to ensure that every area of ​​the prison can be accessed at any time.

Serious offenders are usually held in the innermost layer, but so far, the prison has just been built and the innermost layer is empty, with only the outer layer holding a number of superhuman prisoners with weaker abilities.

Each cell here is independent, and prisoners are not held together. The cells are under full surveillance every day, with no blind spots. Even going to the toilet or taking a shower is monitored. Of course, some special prisoners will never be able to take a shower again after entering the cell, because some prisoners who are in the water system always take the opportunity to slip away through the sewers.

Hua Xin listened and nodded repeatedly. The prison's various measures and facilities filled her with emotion. She just wondered if this prison could hold Superman.

"This is the storage room, which contains supernatural objects and some rather unusual items found all over the country."

Eumen led her into a bright hall with dozens of white storage boxes, some of which had one-way glass, allowing a clear view of the items inside.

As for those that are completely sealed off, it is naturally due to their special nature that they cannot be seen by outsiders.

"Supernatural objects, each with unique characteristics?"

Hua Xin asked.

"Most of them have it, but some don't, probably because they've been around for too long and have lost their effectiveness."

Euron explained.

Hua Xin nodded and continued to walk inside for a tour. After a while, a spaceship in a box caught her attention. It was a spaceship with its rear half charred and looked old and dilapidated. It seemed that the high temperature had caused the charring and destroyed some patterns on the surface of the spaceship.

She couldn't help but move closer, looked at it for a long time, and asked curiously, "What is that? Could it be a spaceship that can be placed here?"

"You guessed right, it is indeed a spaceship, and it's an alien spaceship."

When Eumen saw the spaceship, he couldn't help but move closer, examining it closely. He recalled, "It's been stored here for quite some time; it was already here before I even joined the company."

"It really is an alien spaceship; it has been stored there for sixteen or seventeen years."

Hua Xin noticed a sign next to the box with simple information about the spaceship. Only authorized internal personnel could enter, so there was no concern about being seen by outsiders.

She then asked, "Didn't the higher-ups disassemble the spacecraft? After all, this is alien technology, which might be helpful to the space program."

"We tried to open the hatch or disassemble the spacecraft, but unfortunately the spacecraft has protective features and we can't disassemble it with current technology. So we have to store it temporarily. We used to take it out to study every now and then, but we haven't touched it for seven or eight years now. A spacecraft that can't be disassembled is just a pile of scrap metal to us."

Eumen frowned, hugged the bear, and a look of regret appeared on his mature face. As a scientist, he naturally felt it was a pity, after all, alien technology was very attractive.

"I've always heard them say that extraterrestrial civilizations really exist, but seeing this spaceship with my own eyes is still quite awe-inspiring."

Hua Xin's gaze was fixed on the spaceship, and she looked at it again and again.

Look, her gaze kept falling on the charred parts of the spaceship, where there seemed to be a mark, but it was too damaged to see clearly, so she had to look away.

"Humans are never alone, but fortunately, this spaceship did not bring any life forms with it; it was already empty when it was brought back."

"Let's go, this tour is over, it's time to go back."

Euron patted her on the shoulder.

"Ah."

The two then left the storage room, but little did they know that inside the spaceship's closed hatch, there was a symbol on the control panel that looked exactly like an "S," just like the symbol on Superman's chest, also symbolizing hope and the future.

Early in the morning, Luo Wei got up as early as ever. Today, because Qing She was in a bad mood, he asked to stay home to take care of the little girl. His parents had no objection to this, and going to school was optional for him.

At that moment, Luo Wei was lying on the sofa, with warm sunlight streaming in through the French windows. He was comfortably squinting when he suddenly heard the sound of the television.

Lex Luther, Chairman of the Lex Group, will attend the Shanghai World Expo today. Luther stated that he will foster a friendly atmosphere of cooperation and mutual benefit. He also mentioned that this...

"Lex Luthor?"

Luo Wei opened his eyes and looked over.

"I still don't quite understand what a 'corporation' is."

The green snake is dull-witted and has some difficulty understanding modern vocabulary.

"The group is like your old-fashioned shops, except that their shops are much bigger, so big that almost the whole world knows about them."

"Little Wei, your dad almost went to work for Lexcorp back then."

On the sofa, Luo's father, who was watching the news, saw his reaction and couldn't help but recall his youth when he was full of vigor and had received invitations from countless well-known companies and prestigious universities.

However, he declined all offers due to special circumstances.

"Old Luo, do you regret it? Lex Group has now developed into a major international corporation."

Huang Luqin placed the fruit on the table and tossed one to each of Qing She and Luo Wei.

"Uh-huh."

Lowe nodded, thinking to himself that he was doing well in China, and Lex Luthor couldn't possibly have come to China specifically to target him, since they had never crossed paths before, and given the current situation, Luthor had no reason to target Superman.

"Xiao Wei, why are you so distracted?"

Huang Luqin was sensitive to her son's emotions.

"No, I was just thinking about Lex Group. Didn't they say they were going to do some space-related projects? That's pretty forward-thinking and ambitious."

Luo Wei explained calmly and unhurriedly.

"What, you're interested in aerospace? How about I send you to study that in the future? Maybe you can surpass Lex Luthor in this field. He's considered by most people to be one of the smartest people in the world."

Mr. Luo said it casually.

“My son is not necessarily worse than him.”

Huang Luqin said encouragingly.

Luo Wei just smiled, gave a few perfunctory replies, made an excuse to go back to his room, turned on his computer and started searching for information about Lex Luthor. He quickly found the itinerary announced by the Lex Group. Luthor's main purpose this time was to attend the Shanghai Expo and to have an important meeting with Pengcheng.

But when Rowe turned to the last page, he found that the itinerary mentioned Green Vine City, but it was located in a rather remote assembly line production base.

In recent years, many foreign companies have been attracted by China's cheap labor force and have invested in many factories in China in order to save costs. Lex Group has also done so.

After reading it, Luo Wei muttered to himself, "Loser, loser, I didn't even go looking for you, yet you've come all the way to China."

Chapter 47: The Lost Goods

Lex Luthor

Rowe browsed through Luther's Wikipedia profile, which detailed Luther's records from childhood to adulthood and his proudest achievements.

However, what the world doesn't know is that the wealthy businessman Lex Luthor in the files seems so insignificant and unremarkable compared to the future supervillain Lex.

Without a doubt, Lex Luthor is one of the most charismatic villains in DC history, incredibly intelligent, cunning, and yet steadfast in his principles and bottom line.

At the same time, he is also an extremely narcissistic villain. His narcissism is not only reflected in himself, but also in his views on the human race. Like most people, he believes that humans are the most advanced beings in the world. However, Luther is even more obsessed with this idea. He firmly believes that humans are supreme and should control everything.

This idea was deeply imprinted in his mind, and as his knowledge broadened, it slowly took root and sprouted in his heart, making him so determined that even if he became the ruler of Apokolips, he would still choose to return to Earth without hesitation.

Ultimately, everything Luther did was for humanity, but even more so for himself, because he knew that the world was always a dog-eat-dog world, and he also admired the law of survival of the fittest. On Earth and in the universe, the weak should be selected and eliminated, and only the strong have the right to live.

In the good guys' camp, there is one person whose ideals are similar to Luthor's: Batman, Bruce Wayne, a mortal standing among the gods. But Bruce is far less insane and far less narcissistic than Luthor.

Of course, it's less about narcissism and more about selfishness. Luther would never let go of any opportunity to climb the ladder; he was an extreme opportunist and an arrogant ambitious man.

It was his ambition and greed that made Luther who he was, like a cockroach in a metropolis sewer, willing to squeeze into any glimmer of light in the cracks.

If Rowe were to view Luther from a human perspective, his intentions would be good: a truly supreme race should rely on itself, not on a "hypocritical" righteous superman.

However, Lex Luthor made a fatal mistake: he became overly obsessed with Superman's power, envying and resenting Superman's innate superpowers. This differed from Bruce Wayne, who was merely worried that Superman would become a ticking time bomb, capable of turning from a hero of justice into a ruler of darkness at any moment.

The former, however, desperately desired Superman's power, and all his subsequent actions demonstrated his desire to replace Superman and be revered by everyone.

To this end, he also put forward the theory of superhumans, inciting the world to hate superheroes, stirring up public opinion and creating pressure from public opinion.

For a long time, even Bruce Wayne was manipulated by him. Batman, who was praised by the citizens of Gotham not long ago, was suddenly seen as a cancer in Gotham by many. Not only that, Luthor continued to attack Wayne Enterprises in order to push Bruce Wayne and the Justice League to the brink of despair.

Dong dong dong

As Rowe browsed the files, his thoughts drifted back to Luther's story, when Green Snake's knocking at the door interrupted his reverie.

"William, William, you said you'd take me out to play."

"Okay, here I come."

Rowe shut down the browser. Since Lex Luthor was here, so be it. Anyway, the bald Lex couldn't cause any big trouble now.

For Superman and the Justice League, Lex Luthor was undoubtedly a formidable opponent, but the situation is different now.

But speaking of Luther's other experiences, he also had a bright period.

After experiencing countless major events and invasions by foreign enemies, he was inspired by Superman's spirit and abandoned his evil ways to join the Justice League, fighting alongside superheroes against the invasion of alien races.

Unfortunately, it was a very short time.

Perhaps, in his repeated attempts to prove himself, Lai Tu Zi gradually lost himself and eventually turned to the path of villainy. The real reason for this was probably that he knew in his heart that a single thought could lead to either heaven or hell.

"The weather is so nice today, it doesn't feel like autumn at all."

Stepping outside, under the warm sunlight, the green snake opened its palms, feeling the radiant warmth of the sun, and comfortably squinted its eyes with a look of enjoyment.

Luo Wei also likes this kind of weather. In the south, it's not too cold throughout the autumn, especially in Guangnan. The really cold time is around the Lunar New Year. Now, with its pleasant scenery and mild temperature, it's perfect for the school to organize an autumn outing.

He glanced at the green snake, who was squinting her eyes in bliss, and couldn't help but ask, "Little Green, do you hibernate in winter?"

"No need. Hibernation is too primitive. Besides, I'm not a snake in the true sense. My lifestyle and habits are similar to those of humans."

The green snake patiently explained.

"Makes sense."

Luo Wei nodded. He had previously examined the skeleton and body structure of the Green Snake, noting that only a few parts differed slightly from those of a human.

However, he could sense the blood and genetic cells flowing within the Green Snake's body. If triggered under special circumstances, she should be able to manifest her snake form, which seems to be one of the Green Snake's attack methods.

He thought to himself and casually said, "But you're like a snake, with a huge appetite. Whoever marries you will probably be eaten out of house and home."

"Little Wei, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll eat human flesh!"

Upon hearing this, the green snake frowned and opened its mouth unhappily, revealing a pair of long, white tiger teeth that looked alluring. Although it was uttering threatening words, it seemed quite delicious.

She looked displeased: "Aunt Huang told me you had high emotional intelligence, but now I see you're nothing special. My emotional intelligence is much higher than yours."

"Since you put it that way, I was thinking of treating you to osmanthus cake, but it seems I should pass."

Luo Wei turned his head away and strode forward, his long legs quickly putting a distance between him and the short-legged green snake.
