Superman is my primary school classmate

Kurt has worked in Simon Pharmaceuticals for a very long time. He can almost be regarded as a veteran figure. He was already here when the Pharmaceutical Institute was just a small and unremarkable laboratory.

In the past few years, the laboratory has not been acquired by the Lex Group, and the venue is very limited. Both the funds and the equipment are a headache for them.

They carried out the research and development of biological genes under limited conditions. Although they were a little tired, they also experienced many setbacks. Looking back now, it is also an interesting experience.

I don't know when the original owner of the experiment brought Lex here. When he introduced Lex to everyone, not many people believed it.

The young man in front of him actually bought the laboratory in full.

The employees were very disturbed, and even Kurt expressed doubts about it. Lex is like a son of a rich family who scattered money.

"Could it be that you randomly found an actor to replace it?"

Someone laughed.

Kurt also thinks so. Many rich people don't want to go out and show their faces, so they invite their cronies to handle affairs. Lex's exquisite appearance can easily remind people of some bad images.

And then, Kurt learned, everyone was wrong.

The first thing Lex did when he came here was to plan the land extensively. It took half a year to overthrow the small and old dilapidated houses on the original address, and rebuild a new office building with a simple and elegant structure.

As they entered their new office building with great excitement, even a single screw in clean, clear glass made everyone excited.

"But what about the laboratory?"

Kurt found that this was just an office building for clerks, and he needed to make large-scale biological instruments related to molecular technology, and he didn't even see a single part.

Suddenly, a splash of cold water poured on everyone's heads.

Facing the cloud of being about to be kicked out, they rushed in front of Lex angrily, criticizing and reprimanding Lex for breaking his promise.

"Why do you have such an idea?"

Lex looked at them strangely, sneered on his face, and then led them to the ground only 100 meters apart.

Complete shock to all staff here.

Hundreds of meters below the ground is an underground base prototyped as an ant nest.The entire laboratory, even the dormitory of the staff, had been buried deep under the soil by Lex, out of sight.

There were less than a hundred employees left, and Lex was still not satisfied, and expanded the number of recruits from one hundred to one thousand, and there was even a trend of continuous expansion.

Everyone working at the base has their own set of numbers. Kurt once hated this string of numbers. Taking advantage of the value, newcomers will replace this at any time.

There are so many people coming and going in the base, but it seems that they are submerged in the sea, and they have never seen saturation. Kurt always meets strange people on the way to work, and he greets each other before finally Knowing that the other party has been working in the base for more than half a year.

Kurt has been working hard year after year. Relying on his outstanding performance, his status has gradually risen, and he has unknowingly become a consul with absolute right to speak in the base.

He has been obsessed with research all year round, ignoring many things around him.

By the time Kurt finally had time to rest, many things had changed.

Lex Group has become a great dark horse company in the outside world. It is widely involved in various fields and has been despised by all industry insiders. However, it has to be admitted that the contribution of Lex Group is considerable.

"I will give each of you a temporary base pass. During this period, you can freely pass inside the base."

After Kurt ordered the matter, "It will be available soon. Before that, I will show you around."

Kurt is no longer young, but he is in the golden age of a man. Although the years have left marks on his cheeks, when he speaks, the muscles around the corners of the eyes and lips are pulled, revealing the slightest lines, but he can't Lose the intellectual charm of a mature man.

The thin-rimmed glasses on the high bridge of the nose really add points to his appearance.

"Sir, let me take you around the base, let's start from the bottom."

Clark and Scott followed Sean as bodyguards. For this reason, Lex suggested that all the personnel in the base had passed the inspection, and there would be no accidents. The two were reassigned to a new residence. .

Only Sean was left behind Kurt.

Kurt slid his fingers on the control screen to set the number of elevator floors, and his fingers flew nimbly.

"If possible." Sean interrupted Kurt's movement, "Can I go to the route my father came from before?"

Kurt was a little confused, pushed his glasses, and said coldly, "Your father... is it?"

"Brandy Canav." Sean said sternly, "The Canav Group and the Lex Group have had several cooperation transactions."

"I know that Mr. Kanav is a sponsor and partner of the Institute of Pharmacy, and we have had several exchanges. Last month, I was the one who introduced the base's drug research and development progress to him."

Kurt's tone was steady, and he didn't seem to be affected by the news of Brandy's disappearance. Sean asked with some displeasure, "Professor Connors, do you know the news that my father is missing?"

"Missing?" Kurt's facial expression finally changed, his brows fluctuated, and his eyes lowered, "I'm sorry, I stayed in the base for most of the time, and the news of the blockage was not timely, I'm sorry."

"My father, what did he do in the base, what did he see, and what did he hear? This is what I want to know urgently now. Professor Connors, this is likely to have a great connection with my father's disappearance."

In fact, the matter is very simple. When Brandy came to the base, it was to check whether the production of new drugs had kept up with the progress.

The base is even equipped with a complete production system workshop. The workshop machines are produced and designed by the Lex Group, and the required materials are also provided by the subsidiaries of the Lex Group. Brandy is only an asset provider in this link.

On Xiao En's left, through the transparent window, you can clearly see the technicians in the workshop wearing tight isolation suits, masks, hats, and gloves. A tube of injection was plastic-sealed in a package and sealed in an iron refrigerator.

"This workshop is dedicated to the production of medical drugs. Not long ago, we won the supply channels of anticoagulant drugs for 20% of the hospitals in the country. There will be codes on each room, which correspond to the production of different drugs."

Personnel wearing similar clothes to Kurt hurried past. When they passed by the two, they would slow down and greet Kurt respectfully in a low voice.

"Sir, after the acquisition of the pharmaceutical institute, we had a half-year vacancy period. The capital chain was broken, which caused the workers' production to be even worse. Brandy, as a temporary shareholder, can be said to have supported Simon Pharmaceuticals. , let us regain our rebirth."

Sean was the first to hear about Brandy's work at work. He had never said this in front of Sean. Brandy would only throw some simple affairs to Sean.

Although he was always nagging that Xiao En should graduate early and take over the work under him, it was always just superficial work, such as the current matter, which was heard from other people's mouths, and the boss of the big group did not ask for it at all. The sense of crisis of being divided by subordinates, and thinking about retiring early with Laura to travel around the world, it seems that it is only a dream.

Kurt frowned and thought for a moment, "I was just a research representative and Mr. Kanav introduced the function and efficacy of new drug development. We also discussed the degree of side effects of the drug."

"Did you and your father stay together until they left the base?"

"No." Kurt closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose, "I remember that there was an accident in the laboratory, so I didn't stay long, and besides, Mr. Canav also had a discussion with Mr. Luthor because of the cost and price. Remote meeting. The total time I met with Mr. Kanav was less than half an hour."

Laura once said that Brandy arrived at Simon Pharmaceuticals at noon, and the original plan was to catch the evening plane, but what did he do during the few hours?

"Actually, you don't have to worry." Kurt signaled Sean to walk into the elevator, and he took Sean to continue upward, "If it's inside the base, we have electronic monitoring 24 hours a day, you need to know, you can make a copy for you."

"That's really a big thank you."

In the slowly ascending elevator, it became quiet again.

Sean was the first to break the silence, "Professor, can I go to the dormitory here to take a look?"

"What's so good about the dormitory?"

I thought it was something embarrassing, but I didn't expect it to be such a request.

I feel that this young master's proposal is also very weird. Thousands of people are crowded in the underground dormitory, like a big can, there are all kinds of strange and weird people.

But Kurt didn't ask this question. As a competent researcher, he didn't pursue Sean's request too much.

After all, he was also a guest brought by Lex. As a distinguished guest and the son of an important shareholder, Kurt also met Sean's request.

Everyone lives in the middle of the base, and the branch occupies most of the positions.

According to the length of time working in the base, from top to bottom, the rooms closer to the ground live in the majority of the old people who came with the base when it was first established.

There are single rooms and double rooms, and more bunk beds for 4-6 people.

Sean noticed that the layout here was different from what he saw last night. It was a closed residence, and the people living inside could not be seen at all.

After inspecting several floors one after another, he euphemistically expressed his doubts, "Is there nothing else? Something more different."

"I don't understand what you mean."

Sean said cautiously, "It looks very ordinary, with windows on the iron door, just like a hospital, allowing people to observe the situation inside at all times..."

Kurt's footsteps gradually stopped, and he turned to face Sean. Sean's heart trembled.

The light reflected from the glasses of the person standing in front of him made Sean somewhat unable to see through his eyes.

"May I ask, where did you know about this place?"

Even a fool can feel that the atmosphere is not right at this moment. Sean swallowed, his voice was twisted and changed without even realizing it, and it was a bit harsh:

"No, I'm just asking casually. Not all movies are shot like this. The underground base has many hidden secrets, and there are many experimental subjects hidden. Well, I'm just guessing randomly. Professor, you can pretend that you didn't hear it... ..."

Sean's eyes were open, and the bangs that hung down to cover his eyebrows still poked into his eyes from time to time.

Just when he thought Kurt was about to get angry, Kurt glanced at him lightly and said, "Oh, yeah."

"..."

"The movies are all fake, so how can there be so many secrets. We have always been fair and law-abiding, and human experimenters are indispensable for drug experiments, but all the information is open and transparent, and never endangers people's lives. What you said Hiding experimental subjects, we never do this kind of thing."

Sean echoed, "Yes, I think so too..."

In a certain corner of the base, in the huge office, there is only a solitary stone desk. The perpetual motion instrument on the corner collides and makes a crisp sound, which echoes in the room, and the atmosphere is even more permeating.

If someone enters the room, they can see the huge monitor on the table at first glance, and the person leaning on the back of the chair is directly blocked behind the monitor and cannot see the figure at all.

"Knock down."

There was a knock on the door, and the secretary walked in quietly holding a stack of documents.

Someone behind the monitor said, "What is it?"

Half of Lex's face was exposed. There was a pleasant smile on his face, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and porcelain-like teeth could be seen in his slightly opened mouth. I don't know what made him so happy.

"Sir, the phone with England is connected, can we start now?"

"of course."

Immediately, a holographic image of a corner of an office appeared in front of Lex.

Before Lex got up, he pressed the computer's mute interface.

On the computer screen behind him, there are large and small miniature windows, in which real-time surveillance footage from every corner of the base is being played.

In the middle of the screen, there are three pictures.

Among them, Clark and Scott are wandering aimlessly in the arranged room, while the other one is Sean who has been following Kurt.

Under the enlarged window, even the subtle facial expressions of the person in the painting can be captured. With the opening and closing of the person's mouth in the painting, the sound wave chart at the top of the window fluctuates up and down.
