Rise of an Empire

"I said, school starts in two days. In fact, it's better for Ito to do this alone. There's no need for you to come with me." Sitting in the back seat of the car, Gudrun faced Conrad next to him. complained.

The three of them are currently driving on a country road in Argentina. According to Sebastian's intelligence, that guy Joseph Mengele is now hiding incognito in a small town called Dehachar in the hinterland of Argentina.

Argentina is the eighth largest country in the world in terms of land area. It can be considered a big country, but its population is only 40 million. It can be said that as long as you leave those big cities, you can basically never see half a living person within hundreds of kilometers. People, this unique geographical location makes it a breeding ground for all kinds of criminals.

Because the land is so vast and sparsely populated, the road network and power equipment in the country are extremely poor. The capital Buenos Aires is no longer far behind Los Angeles, but the Andes Mountains in the center are still completely intact. Spanish architectural style of the seventeenth century.

Of course, there are some places that even preserve Mayan civilization ruins, but Conrad is not here to explore, he will not go to those deep mountains and old forests.

The purpose of his visit this time is to bring back that Joseph Mengele guy. According to Sebastian's intelligence and Sauron's confession, Joseph Mengele may not be very powerful in other aspects, but in terms of human genes In this regard, he can definitely be regarded as the number one authority in the world.

Even Sebastian's many questions about mutants were answered only by asking the other party.

But thinking about it, if you use 400,000 test items to practice, as long as you are not an idiot, you can directly pick out capillaries with your eyes closed, right?

Although he felt sorry for those who died tragically in Auschwitz, Conrad would not have such a strong sense of justice that he would avenge them. He was not a savior, so he was too lazy to worry about that.

What interests him is the other person's mind.

To be honest, it has been only half a year since he came here. Although his power has begun to improve, his own strength is still stagnant.

Even after being trained by Thrawn, his skills are considered good among ordinary people, and he can definitely be guaranteed to be the leader of Boulevard Middle School, but so what?

He is not planning to become a school bully. Is it possible that beating middle school students and being the leader of the school is a very honorable thing?

His enemy is S.H.I.E.L.D., the United States, the Soviet Union, the Avengers, the Bald Ancient One, the one-eyed Odin, and Director Destruction

Sorry, I'm going off topic again.

Facing those terrifying enemies, it is absolutely impossible to rely only on the human body. If he does not evolve, he will really have only one way to die.

Although it is said that the emperors in ancient times could control thousands of troops under their command even without the power of a chicken, this was based on the fact that personal force could not compete with the world.

If you look at the world of American comics, the one who is the big boss will not be as strong as his subordinates.

But although this world is said to be full of adventures, and he might become a peerless master if he falls into a pit while walking on the road, but it is obvious that he does not have the great opportunity to pick up a mythical beast when he goes out.

According to the integration of Sebastian and Thrawn's information, it can be known that in the late war, Joseph Mengele's human biogenetic technology had actually surpassed Erkins and could produce a perfect serum without side effects.

Although Erkins is a genius, Joseph is not much worse than him. What's more, compared to Erkins' character, people like Joseph who have no bottom line are more likely to succeed.

But at that time, the empire was already in decline and there was no way to recover. Joseph knew that if he was caught for his crime, Ling Chi would probably be punished lightly, so he quickly packed up and ran away.

At that time, the empire was in chaos. The Soviets and Americans were robbing people everywhere, and various guerrilla groups emerged in an endless stream. The European continent was a mess. Even Conrad was able to escape from Germany under the protection of Thrawn and others. Coming to the United States, it is not surprising that Joseph can come to South America.

Although the perfect serum can only develop the human body's genetic cells to the limit, and is not even as fierce as some powerful mutants, it is still dozens of times better than Conrad's current state.

At the very least, he can pretend to be Superboy in the future, so he doesn't have to hide behind Gudrun every time he fights.

It's a bit embarrassing for a grown man to always rely on a woman to protect him, isn't it?

"Anyway, we are just here to recruit people. We can't waste a few days. Besides, why don't we accompany you to South America to see the scenery and relax?" Conrad held Gudrun's slender hand and said with a sincere expression.

"Humph." Although Gudrun turned his head arrogantly, his little hand remained in Conrad's hand without moving at all.

A few days ago, in order to whiten the queen's favorability, I had to give her the cold shoulder. Although Gudrun would never betray him based on his feelings for him, no matter what, he still needs a few trustworthy people around him.

Compared to the White Queen's agility, Gudrun was just a fledgling. Conrad just gave her a few nice words and she became radiant.

The two of them watched the scenery outside the window while complaining about the poor infrastructure in Argentina. It was obviously a national highway on the map, but it was overgrown with weeds. On several occasions, Ito Ichijo even got out of the car to remove the tree trunks and stones blocking the road. To be able to continue on my way is truly breathtaking.

The journey of only 700 kilometers actually took two days, which was beyond Conrad's expectations.

Originally, he thought he would be able to go back in time to start school, but now he is at least two or three days late.

"We're finally here," Conrad said tiredly, looking at the marble buildings exposed from the depths of the trees in front of him.

At the beginning, he was still playing with the alpaca by the window with Gudrun with great interest, but after sitting in the car for two consecutive days, even Gudrun, who was full of energy at the beginning, was now listless.

The main reason is that the road is really bad. Taking a car makes me feel more dizzy than taking a boat. It is really painful.

"Joseph is so good at hiding. How did he find this broken town?" Gudrun also walked out of the car top-heavy, feeling a little dizzy.

"He is running for his life. Of course he has to find a place where it is difficult for others to find him." Conrad shook his head. Then he felt a little better, and he grabbed Gudrun and said.

"Is there electricity in this shitty place?" Gudrun asked curiously, looking at the building in front of him that was obviously from the Spanish period in the 17th century.

The car phone had lost signal a day ago. This is not the era of global communication in later generations. Even in the United States, leaving the prosperous coast, there are many places in the inland areas where there is no signal, let alone Argentina. place
