Chapter 121 The era of superpowers has arrived!
In the warm afternoon sun, many people looked out of the windows of the high-rise buildings on the dilapidated streets around them.
Tens of thousands of ragged refugees crowded around the square separated by a simple wooden fence.
The entire square is about 3,000 square meters in size.
There are 100 simple beds in the center of the square, neatly arranged every three meters.
There is a person lying on each bed, and there is also an IV injection rod next to it. The liquid in the IV is a psychedelic blue.
They have made enough contributions to have the opportunity to become the Son of Lava.
Therefore, these experimental subjects are full of expectations and can't wait to become a big man like the Son of Lava!
And the person who presided over this human experiment called "Super Power Promotion".
It is naturally the president of Pioneer Technology, the local tyrant of this area-Oldrechi Killian.
Killian wore a white suit and his short golden hair was waxed. Among the refugees around the square, he looked unusually clean and tidy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations on your chance to become the Son of Lava.
In this increasingly dangerous apocalypse, only by becoming the Son of Lava can you truly control your own destiny!
This is the wonderful beginning of your rebirth and the beginning of the greatness of Pioneer Technology!
The era of superpowers has arrived
Let us look forward to how many people will become new Sons of Lava in this promotion ceremony!"
In the square, Killian first gave an impassioned speech, and then announced the official start of the promotion ceremony in the eager eyes of many refugees!
In addition to Killian and his group of superpowers, Pierce, who had just arrived in the Patterson area two hours ago, also watched this large-scale human experiment.
After being forced to nuclear-bomb the old nest.
Pierce didn't care about his serious losses, he wanted to go back to the secret safe house as soon as possible.
But Rumlow, who was an elite agent, reminded him that those safe houses must have been monitored.
In desperation, Pierce could only bring six Winter Soldiers and a small number of dead men such as Rumlow to the territory of Pioneer Technology to seek shelter from partners.
Now, Pierce sat on the temporary viewing platform in the square, watching Killian's speech expressionlessly as if he was watching a drama performance.
The shrewd Pierce had long seen through Killian's little tricks.
He invited him to observe the experiment openly, which was clearly a show of strength, and wanted to take advantage of his heavy losses to swallow up his remaining Hydra forces.
But Pierce is in a difficult situation now. The base camp and two branch bases that invested a lot of manpower and material resources have been destroyed.
There are less than thirty trusted soldiers left.
Therefore, even if Pierce knew that Killian had bad intentions, he had to sit honestly on the viewing platform, showing a hypocritical flattering smile and said:
"Mr. Killian, I have heard that Pioneer's biotechnology is very advanced. Today I see that it is indeed extraordinary. I just don't know what the success rate of this experiment is?"
Pierce is now very interested in all methods that can supplement his own strength.
Not to mention this kind of biotechnology similar to super soldier serum, which can even produce superpowers on a large scale.
As long as the success rate is acceptable, let the subordinates also inject this "super soldier serum".
Pierce has made up his mind.
When Killian heard the question about the success rate of the experiment, he said proudly:
"Mr. Pierce, I can tell you very clearly that if it is genetically customized, the success rate of the desperate virus serum will be as high as 35%!"
If Killian brought this 35% success rate to the military weapons department discussion meeting in the past, he would definitely be criticized.
But now, the least valuable thing in the end times is human life.
Low success rate?
As long as there are enough experimental subjects, even a low success rate is not a problem.
In fact, in order to mass-produce desperate virus serum, Killian also used cheaper biological materials to develop a second version of the desperate virus with a success rate of only 10%.
Without the constraints of the military, Killian can now safely and boldly reduce costs, without having to consider the problem that the success rate of the desperate virus has always been very low and unstable.
On the other hand, Pierce frowned when he heard the low success rate of 35%.
He wanted to inject this serum himself.
After all, he had realized that he could not fight against the Avengers without extraordinary abilities.
But with such a low success rate, he dared not risk his life.
However, Rumlow and other confidants could let them try.
So Pierce asked indirectly: "I wonder if Mr. Killian is willing to sell this desperate virus serum?"
Killian laughed and said: "Pioneer Technology is originally a company, and the products it has developed will of course be sold.
We support gold, rare precious metals, biological materials, etc. as trading resources.
I just don't know if Mr. Pierce has enough resources?"
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
There was a hint of contempt in Killian's words. After all, Pierce's hometown was gone, and the phoenix in trouble was worse than a chicken.
What's more, in his opinion, Pierce's strength in his heyday was just like that.
Now he has more than 300 super-powered people under his command, and this amazing power is almost enough to rule the world.
How could Killian look down on Pierce who was in trouble?
Facing the aggressive Killian, Pierce suppressed his anger and made a subtle threat:
"Don't worry, Mr. Killian, although our Hydra has suffered heavy losses, we still have some wealth.
For example, for an intercontinental nuclear missile capable of long-range strike across 10,000 kilometers, two missiles should be able to level an area of 2,000 square kilometers to the ground.
We also have a lot of gold and precious metals, so Mr. Killian doesn’t have to worry about our funding. "
Killian's pupils shrank when he heard Pierce's threat. Two thousand square kilometers? Doesn’t it happen to be Pioneer Technology’s territory, which is the size of Patterson County?
But this threat is obviously just talk. Pierce himself is still here, how can he go crazy and die together with him?
But he couldn't push it too far, otherwise Pierce, who had suffered a major blow, would suddenly go crazy.
Killian didn't want to lose the power of nuclear bombs, so he showed a gentle smile and said:
"Mr. Pierce is joking, I naturally believe in your strength.
Well, let me briefly introduce the price to you first.
A customized version of the Extremis Virus Serum is priced at twenty tons of gold.
What you see now is that the success rate of this serum in the promotion ceremony is only 10%, and the price is 10 tons of gold.
The price is fair. I wonder which type of serum you want? "
After hearing the price, Pierce was ready to kill. This bastard-looking Killian was actually more ruthless than Karl, that scumbag profiteer.
Just because you saw yourself in trouble, you deliberately opened your mouth, right?
The cheapest serum costs 10 tons of gold, which is the previous $1 billion. This is clearly a robbery!
The wrinkled old Pierce endured it again and again, his breathing became so short that he almost had a myocardial infarction.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and ordered ten low-end versions of the Extremis virus serum.
"Mr. Pierce, your decision is wise, wish us a happy transaction in advance!
By the way, there will be a celebration dinner later."
Killian was in a good mood after killing this unjust big deal, and quickly invited Pierce to watch the promotion ceremony and have dinner together.
