Chapter 107: Showdown Moment
A research institute that has been abandoned for fifteen years.
According to the address given by Nick Fury, Eric finally came here, where everything originated. After fifteen years of washing, the building was already ruined. The outer bricks that seemed to be white were now stained with a thick layer of ink black, which looked quite evil.
The situation in the yard was in a mess, the ground was full of bricks and gravel, and the pits on the ground were like countless cannon pits bombed by artillery shells on the battlefield. The shells of the building were also full of holes, just like someone drilled countless holes to make it airflow everywhere. It can be imagined that what a terrible battle broke out here, which left such shocking traces, just like a battlefield where heavy weapons exchange fire.
Although Eric did not have a key to the door, he didn't seem to need such things. Half of the door of the institute collapsed, and a door on the left half was pinched into a ball of brute force from the middle point, as if it was rubbed into a ball of waste paper. Eric just bowed his body and came in through the crack of the door.
Unsurprisingly, the scene inside the institute was even more tragic. The research equipment was in a mess, with metal fragments scattered everywhere, and some parts of the fragments were deeply inserted into the walls. The four walls and the ground were like brushed with blood paint. Even after fifteen years, there were still blood marks that were hard to remove, and the air was filled with an indescribable but nauseating nausea.
In fact, there was nothing worth discovering here. Even fifteen years ago, it was plundered by Aegis or others. He came here just because he felt it was necessary, just as if he could still vaguely see what happened to his fathers in this place across the long river of time.
The memory really came into his mind. Regarding that rainy night, Omega's black armor, the wildly Amozhuo robot, the life that was cruelly killed and harvested, and the despair that was pervasive, it was as clear as being engraved in his mind. At that time, he was only three years old, and was left alone by his parents at home ten kilometers away, which had nothing to do with what happened here.
Then why did the memory of that night appear in my mind? If it was not his own memory...who would it be?
The "beep" prompt sound pulled him back from his thoughts. The computer screen with cracks on the side suddenly lit up, and an option flashed in the center of the screen. He was stunned for a while before finally reacting.
A computer from fifteen years ago had already become so miserable that it looked like this, just as he burned his last strength when he came in and shouted. It was absolutely impossible to be a coincidence.
Eric clicked on the flashing option, everything on the screen, and Dr. Ivo, who had black round eyes, appeared in the picture. But at this time, he had completely removed the stupid disguise and revealed his fierce and vicious true face.
"Hello, Mr. Charlotte." He said, pausing and correcting, "Oh, it should be Mr. Charlotte."
"Ivo." Eric said coldly, "It's you right? Fifteen years ago, the mysterious person who worked with his father on the Yamozhu development project. You didn't just discover the Yamozhu virus recently. Fifteen years ago, you were part of the development team."
Dr. Ivo shook his finger: "No, no, not exactly right. Fifteen years ago, I did communicate with your father about developing content and sharing some knowledge, but I was not part of his small group. And at that time, all I thought about was developing armor with multiple superpowers, and my eyes were very short-sighted, right?"
He smiled like a self-deprecatingly, and then became proud again.
"I didn't lie about this part - the project of 'Amozhu Nano Robot' was proposed a month ago," he said. "After so many years, I finally successfully isolated the virus that core robot capabilities of 15 years ago - the 'Amozhu Virus'. Although I can't make it work now, in theory, it can indeed create an ultimate existence that can replicate all superpowers... Of course, I am still working on this part."
"Then why did you perform this?" Eric asked, "Why should I guide me to see the logs left by my father? And what is the Beta Armor Armor is your work, right? Why attack me?"
"I deliberately leaked the news to Brudehaven's charity police and asked him to rob me. When ASUSTAIN gets the news, I will definitely catch me and ask some questions, so I get the opportunity to board the mothership to check the data about the Alpha armor you hold." Dr. Ivo continued to explain, "Yes, I have developed a Beta system. In theory, performance is superior to Alpha, but there are still some parts of it lacking."
“Some parts?”
Dr. Ivo snorted lightly.
"I have also successfully implanted four superpowers that have been parsed for the Beta-type Amoe armor and achieved a better simulation effect than the Alpha system. But what it lacks is the ability to evolve." He said, "Alpha's armor can resonate with the superpowers under specific conditions, and in theory can be compatible with infinite abilities. I want to know how that is done. This is the first purpose, as for my other purpose..."
The footsteps that were so light that their ears were almost uncatched approached outside the door and stopped after entering. Eric turned around and saw the man in the black windbreaker who had met in the Lex Building, standing at the door without saying a word, staring at him, with a rigid expression like a mechanical machine that performed a program, but the eyes shot through the sunglasses were fatal and cold.
Eric frowned slightly.
"Although you should have known each other, I'll still allow me to re-introduce it," said Dr. Ivo. "Mr. Butch, the best adapter of the Beta system I've found, should be able to exert most of the power of the Beta system. And more importantly, Mr. Butch is completely obeying me and is an absolutely impeccable thug."
Eric snorted: "To put it bluntly, it's just a terrible leg?"
Dr. Ivo turned a deaf ear and said, "The Beta system is just my transitional product. It is my ultimate goal to be able to copy all capabilities and become the ultimate nano machine. But before that... first of all, I want to prove that I am stronger than Charlotte's works, and the armor I made can easily defeat his works. Then, prove it to me, Mr. Butch?"
Eric hummed, "Just for such boredom?"
But the man named Butch did not ask a word and immediately executed Ivo's order. He pulled off the windbreaker and exposed the backpack on his back. Beta's Amozha armor quickly unfolded, and his outfit was completed in the blink of an eye.
"The competition has begun, gentlemen!" Ivo clapped himself, "Try to prove himself!"
