American Comics: Multiverse of Madness - #511 - Chapter 508 Luther’s mixed feelings
While walking and chatting with Pietro and Carla, Zhang Yi and others had also approached the Alliance Building in the center of the city.
Originally, this was supposed to be the most prosperous building in the world built by Hydra, with various rooms for people to enjoy, as well as beautiful girls plundered from all over the world.
During the period when Hydra fell, the place suffered inhumane destruction. Almost every force wanted to reach out and tear off a piece of flesh, and the entire building was burned, killed, looted and turned into a mess.
However, although the facilities inside were destroyed and everything was taken away, the frame of the entire building was still there and the foundation was very stable. So after Luther took over the power here, he designated this place as the headquarters of the alliance.
It is not particularly troublesome to rob this place. With Clark taking the lead, Luther has experienced the pleasure of commanding the Justice League. In the face of absolute strength, the local forces have no chance to resist.
After learning from the past, Clark also learned well. He rarely expressed his opinions in meetings. Basically, he went east when Luthor said to go east, and he hit whoever Batman said to fight.
With the help of these two most outstanding politicians and financiers in the world, it took less than a month for all the local gangs in the wasteland to be dismantled.
The only difficulty is the super villains on the Japanese island, where the dehumanization of humanity is even more serious, and the vast majority of people have been completely brainwashed and trained into death warriors.
So even though Clark had some grudges in his heart, he still killed him and wiped out all the resistance forces there, leaving only a part of the people who still retained their morals and outlook on life.
As Carla and Pietro said before, the earth at this time is already monolithic. Without the distinction between countries, the entire planet has only one name – the Atrium Federation.
However, wiping out the resistance forces is only the beginning and the simplest thing. The real difficulty is the subsequent reconstruction of the wasteland.
Luther was sitting in the office on the top floor of the Alliance Building, reviewing the documents one after another in front of him with bloodshot eyes. He had not slept for a long time, and now that the entire wasteland was in action, he had no time to rest.
“Mrs. Mask, please refill my cup of coffee. Thank you.”
Picking up the pen and signing a document titled [Lizardman Race Management: Transformation of Tropical Rainforest Island], Luther wiped the sweat from his head and said.
Hearing Luther’s voice, Madam Mask put down the materials in her hands, then stood up to take a cup of coffee, came to Luther’s desk, and replaced the empty cup.
“Mr. Luther, it’s time for you to take a rest. The work is endless, and your body is the most important thing.”
“Thank you.” Luther thanked him first, and then said with a wry smile. “People all over the world are staring at me. It’s hard for me to sit in this position, so naturally I have to work harder.”
Since the death of Dr. Doom, Madam Mask and her forces have become ownerless. Not only has she taken in Dr. Doom’s destruction robots, she has even won over Count Nefara’s gang.
As an alliance force to rebuild the wasteland, it was naturally impossible for everyone to let such a powerful force not be under their control, so Luther came forward and the two sides had face-to-face exchanges and talks.
Everyone knew how powerful the Alliance was, including Madam Mask, so after Luther provided appropriate benefits, Madam Mask quickly disbanded her forces and joined the Alliance.
Today’s Madam Mask was appointed by Luther as the Supreme Secretary-General, dedicated to serving himself, and also helping him handle the approval of the wasteland’s reconstruction documents.
However, there are rumors that the reason why Madam Mask surrendered was because she was infatuated with Luther, but this news has never been confirmed.
“By the way, how’s things going with Mela?” Luther took a sip of coffee, suddenly thought of something, and asked.
After hearing this, Mrs. Mask thought for a while and said. “You should be talking about the salvage work of Atlantis. The progress there is not very smooth. Even if we deploy two hundred destruction robots, it will be a drop in the bucket.”
“How could this happen?” Luther frowned.
“The war back then was too grand. Atlantis was attacked by alien technology from the world’s masters. The entire underwater country was exiled to a different space. The later seawater intrusion destroyed most of the ruins.”
Mrs. Mask said calmly. “We have tried our best to salvage, but the harvest is not great. Only some broken arm remains are still left on the seabed, and most of them have been carried to other sea areas by ocean currents.”
“In that case, why didn’t Mela produce a written report? If there is a delay here, our undersea reconstruction work will be delayed again.” Luther was a little distressed.
“Meila’s report has been sent to Barbara. Due to the huge changes in the terrain of the seabed, the probability that our original plan can be completed is almost 0, so Ms. Barbara is re-planning the drawings.”
“What are the subsequent effects of seawater intrusion?”
“Yes.” Madam Mask nodded and continued. “Ms. Barbara has tried her best to restructure, and the follow-up work will be handed over to the Blood Nest to help rebuild Atlantis.”
“That’s good. This way I can feel more relaxed here. By the way, what about the dinosaurs wandering outside? These are the ones that bother me the most right now.” Luther asked again.
Because dinosaurs were very rare back then, after the super villains conquered the wilderness, many businessmen began to transport the dinosaurs out for resale.
But later, because the dinosaurs ate too much, ordinary people could not afford to feed them, so there were incidents of malicious releases at that time. The ruling organization Hydra at that time did not bother to care about these small things, so they turned a blind eye. Eye.
By the time people reacted, dinosaurs had become part of the biological chain in the wild. After decades of reproduction and migration, dinosaurs had spread all over the world, and incidents of hurting people often occurred.
What Luther now has in front of him is such a mess that is difficult to deal with.
“We have arranged for the Hulk Gang to deal with it, but because the area where the dinosaurs live is too large, it is difficult to control it for a while. The alliance is trying to find a way to build facilities. When the construction is completed, most of the dinosaurs will be driven to the island.”
“Jurassic Park in another world. It looks good. I can sell tickets in the future.” Luther nodded after hearing this and added. “Let the patrol team cheer up. There won’t be any more incidents of dinosaurs hurting people.”
“Yes, but although we have issued regulations strictly prohibiting people from entering the wild jungle, there are still many people going there, and there are even many mercenaries who like to hunt for treasures.” Madam Mask said.
Upon hearing this, Luther sighed heavily and gritted his teeth.
“If they are looking for death, let them die. Now we don’t have enough manpower to handle so many things. After I finish working here, I have to sort out the group of unscrupulous people who are working against me.”
“One more thing, the heavy industry on the Blood Baron side has developed. He asked us where the next city to expand should be.” Madam Mask took out a file from the folder and placed it on Luther in front of.
Picking up the file, Luther put on his glasses and read it. It described the relocation and planning regulations of the Blood Nest Industry.
The previous Blood Nest could be said to be a huge weapons workshop, which contained industrial factories for manufacturing various heavy weapons. Later, under the alliance’s planning, it was all converted into conventional heavy industries.
Mainly engaged in the manufacturing of cast steel and salt iron, the remaining factory areas are also being renovated in glass manufacturing and chemical industries, and are constantly donating construction equipment to the entire wasteland to help expand reconstruction plans.
Now that the Blood Nest is prospering, they are looking for the next city to carry out heavy industry so that they can contribute more to the reconstruction of the wasteland.
After reading the entire plan, Luther adjusted his glasses, thought for a while and said. “Go to Hammerfell City. A lot of the population has been lost there due to the disappearance of Mjolnir. Heavy industry there will also intensify the population recovery.”
“Okay, I’ll make arrangements right away.” Madam Mask nodded and replied.
Seeing Madam Mask return to her desk, Luther also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he has finally become the leader of a planet in a true sense, he is not happy at all now. He is even so busy that he can’t even squeeze out the time to be unhappy.
The fall of Hydra and other super villains left him such a huge mess. When he first took over the power, Luther was still high-spirited and felt that no difficulty could stop him.
After all, he controls the extremely powerful Justice League, and even the Avengers are under his management. It can be said that he, Luther, is the ‘king’ of the entire wasteland.
But after he really started to manage and rebuild, Luther realized that he was really a little too young. All kinds of messy things piled up in front of him, and he even had to be nailed to a chair all day long.
It would be fine if it was something more difficult or severe, but the problem was that even if a certain city wanted to be converted into a scenic spot, he needed his nod, which really increased Luther’s workload.
Logically speaking, there is no need to send this kind of local policy to Luther.
However, because the reconstruction of the wasteland is holistic, if everything is arranged and directed locally, conflicts will easily arise in the subsequent reconstruction.
To give a simple example, if the people below this scenic area nod, then if Luther hopes to build a high-speed rail line, it may conflict with the establishment of the scenic area.
It would be fine if they had sufficient resources, but the problem is that everything in the wasteland is simple now, and all resources are saved as they can. This huge industrial waste is what Luther does not want to see.
Therefore, as a last resort, Luther could only take on all these tasks in front of him.
