Chapter 76 Jumping Spiders—A New Research Direction for Kryptonite
Smallville, Chandler Fields next to Rivers Dam.
A chemical plant covering hundreds of acres that has been abandoned for many years.
Lucas bought the place in Oswald's name.
He plans to transform this abandoned chemical plant into a future kryptonite research base.
Hamilton proposed that certain large pieces of equipment needed must have sufficient space to be accommodated.
After making his selection, Lucas signed with this company.
There is enough land, and it offers good concealment.
Of course, just in case, he planned to build the research base directly underground, the deeper the better.
On the ground, large private clubs were built.
With Oswald's continuous financial support, the plan quickly entered the implementation phase and made remarkable progress.
No matter where you are, as long as you pay enough, projects can always be completed faster than you can imagine.
Lucas glanced at the site from a distance, then took a shortcut to the school.
He had just opened a locker in the hallway when a man with long, dark brown hair suddenly appeared in front of him.
The other person had pale skin with a cold, grayish sheen. He pressed down on the cabinet door while staring at Lucas with a mocking expression.
The sudden scene immediately attracted a group of students who wanted to watch the spectacle.
Although they didn't understand why Greg, who was usually timid and cowardly, would suddenly become so brave and dare to pick a fight with the number one "school bully" in Smallville High School, they all started to stir up trouble, not wanting to miss out on any trouble.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Greg Arkin."
The other person extended their hand towards Lucas with a half-smile.
Although he didn't know the other person, Lucas remembered him.
After all, his memory is just too good.
You can memorize it word for word with just a glance.
But today's Greg is clearly very different from the slightly overweight, bespectacled man who always hunched over wherever he went.
The other person seemed to have undergone a complete transformation overnight, not only becoming tall and slender, but also experiencing a dramatic change in personality.
"Interesting." A strange light suddenly appeared in Lucas's eyes.
He didn't reach out, but calmly looked at Greg, who had taken the initiative to provoke him, without saying a word.
For some reason, when he looked directly into the other person's eyes, Greg felt a strange chill run down his spine.
It felt like staring into the eyes of a lurking beast.
Fear arose uncontrollably.
Greg instinctively released his hand from the locker door, took a few steps closer, and whispered, "I'm just warning you, you'd better stay away from Lana. Don't try to hurt her. I can sense your ill intentions."
"Are you done?" Lucas's expression remained calm.
At school, almost no one thought they would get entangled with a girl, not even Lana, who had become the captain of the cheerleading team.
The other party is clearly targeting me on purpose.
Greg slowly took a step back: "Remember my warning, or you'll definitely regret it."
After saying that, he quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"Lucas, are you alright?" Clark, who was passing by, witnessed the scene and rushed over.
"Greg seems like a completely different person lately. He's become confident and aggressive, much better than before. But something just feels off."
Chloe frowned.
It has to be said that a woman's intuition is indeed very accurate.
"Weren't you going to prepare for your job interview at the school newspaper? It looks like you're going to be late."
Lucas looked away and suddenly pointed to a room in the distance where a long queue had formed.
"Oh, shit, sorry everyone, I have to go now." Chloe's expression changed.
Today is the day the school's "Torch Newspaper" is recruiting its editor-in-chief, and she is determined to get the job.
night.
In the northeast corner of the town, near the foundry by the stream.
A standard two-story wooden house.
The doors and windows were tightly shut, and all the glass was covered with thick curtains, making it completely airtight.
The indoor air was stagnant and stuffy, so the thermostat was set to the highest temperature.
Lana's image kept replaying on the television screen.
But that's not the strangest thing.
The weirdest thing is.
All the rooms were covered with a dense, crisscrossing web of spider webs, with scattered, resilient spider silk everywhere.
Greg was like a spider, clinging to the surface of a high wall.
A cruel glint appeared in his eyes.
He couldn't help but feel furious when he recalled his timid behavior in front of Lucas during the day.
Therefore, Greg planned to kill him under the cover of night.
Although the other party and Lana were not close.
But he could clearly sense that his goddess truly admired the other person.
To gain mating rights, he needs to kill all his competitors.
However, just as Greg opened the door and was about to leave, a terrifying force kicked him back.
"Bang!"
Greg was caught off guard, and for a moment he felt as if he had crashed into a speeding truck.
The immense impact sent him flying backward, crashing through a series of wooden walls before he slammed heavily to the ground.
"hiss!"
A piercing, excruciating pain struck, making it impossible for Greg to breathe.
He struggled to lift his head, his terrified gaze falling on the culprit who had kicked him.
next moment.
His pupils suddenly widened in shock.
"Tell me, did you mutate because of kryptonite?"
Lucas looked down at everything inside the room.
In a corner covered in cobwebs, he found several corpses that had been sucked dry, including Greg's mother.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I was just bitten by a spider." Greg's body trembled.
He was filled with deep regret.
The feeling of apprehension I had during the day was not an illusion.
The other party is not an ordinary person either.
His response was to have his two legs, which were capable of allowing him to jump more than ten meters high, brutally broken.
The wailing echoed throughout the house.
"It's okay if you don't know. You're lucky. I'm currently conducting a very rigorous experiment."
Lucas moved his feet away, grabbed Greg by the neck with one hand, and lifted him into the air amidst the man's horrified, pale face.
A moment later, a closed box-like space replaced the cobweb-covered two-story wooden house.
It wasn't a large area, but the metal tabletop was covered with all sorts of instruments, bottles, and jars.
In the very center are several containers, each about one meter in size.
It contained some kind of murky, unidentified liquid, constantly bubbling with a strong odor.
This is the temporary laboratory that Hamilton set up himself.
Also located in the open field, it consists of some metal boxes.
Lucas swung his arm and threw Greg to the ground.
The other person looked around in terror, not knowing what fate awaited them.
Deep inside the room, Dr. Hamilton was leaning over the lab bench, intently adjusting the instruments.
The glass container next to it contained a sample of kryptonite that glowed green.
Hearing the noise, he immediately looked up, his gaze sweeping over Greg, who was sprawled on the ground looking utterly miserable, before turning to Lucas with a strange expression.
He didn't understand why his young boss had grabbed someone over there.
The current trials are far from reaching the stage of human trials.
Moreover, even if human experiments were to be conducted, there would be no need to break the other person's legs.
Lucas withdrew his gaze and said, "This is a humanoid specimen. It mutated after being bitten by a spider irradiated with Kryptonite, gaining physical abilities far exceeding those of an ordinary person. However, the cost is currently unknown."
Upon hearing this, Hamilton's pupils dilated slightly, and his face immediately turned fervent: "Tsk tsk tsk—humans mutated through a medium of meteorite radiation? I've never encountered anything like it before. Boss, you're a perfect sample!"
