I build nuclear bombs in the giant world - #244 - Chapter 239 Kill List
Capital, underground.
Rust and Gradoni were walking in the dark and damp sewers. Although the drainage system here was very crude, the space was extremely wide.
In the darkness, there are shadows of wild beasts, which are synthetic beasts kept in captivity here. Anyone who breaks into this place will be torn into pieces by the synthetic beasts.
“Are you really going to find Father? Lust.” Gradoni sucked his thumb: “What if Father gets angry? It’s so scary.”
“Idiot.” Rust said, “It is the stupidest behavior to act smart in front of Father. What we have to do is to report the information that Envy has lost contact, and then wait for Father’s next instructions.”
“It would be the most terrifying thing if father finds out by himself.”
“Okay.” Gradoni followed Lust in embarrassment.
The deeper they went, the more exquisite the nearby buildings became. They were no longer as badly worn as before, and they were no longer filled with greasy moss and the smell of sewage.
Starting from a certain corner, lights lit up in the passage. There were many gelatin tubes on the walls and underground, densely packed into whiskers and converging toward the center.
As if they were returning to their own home, they wound around the intricate roads and finally stopped in front of a gate.
Before they could knock on the door, the door opened by itself with a creak.
There was a quiet space behind the door. The blond man sat in the center, with his left elbow on the chair, a fist supporting the side of his face, and looking at Gradoni and Lust expressionlessly.
He was wearing a simple white robe, and to his right was a workbench engraved with a five-pointed star.
From the day when Rust and Gradoni were born, my father has never left this position. That place is the center of the world and the center of the land formation. He firmly occupies the central position and never takes a step. leave.
“Father.” Luster and Gradoni knelt down on one knee and buried their heads: “For unknown reasons, Envi failed to trigger Leor’s riot. He lost contact with us. Therefore, we I’m here to ask for your instructions, Father.”
“The Philosopher’s Stone on Envy has disappeared. He may be dead.”
A low and majestic voice echoed in Luster’s ears.
“Leor, don’t worry about it for now. Let’s go and arrange other places first. Recently, some people in the Central Command have become restless. Rust, go tell Bradley and Pride that they are restless.” There is no need to keep these people anymore, they can already be killed.”
“Yes.” Luster lowered his head and agreed.
“Stand back.” Father waved his hand.
Lassiter and Gradoni left, and the door closed tightly.
After leaving that space, Lust breathed a long sigh of relief. Even though she had lived for two hundred years, she still had this feeling of fear and fear every time she saw her father.
My father has no feelings for her or any artificial human being. In his eyes, there is probably no difference between artificial people and the humans outside. They are all just expendable resources, like livestock raised in captivity.
Rust recalled the past two hundred years ago when her father imparted knowledge to her. At that time, she and other artificial people traveled around the world, helping humans build houses and grow food.
This capital city was built under her eyes. From the sand and gravel at the beginning, it is now a broad road paved with cement. There are trains from all directions to all parts of the country. The number of human beings is increasing, and life is getting better and better. It gets better and better, multiplying like a flooded flock of sheep.
Father, like a shepherd herding sheep, herds humans, and now it’s finally the slaughtering season.
Luster knew very well that in the eyes of his father, he was at the same level as a “shepherd dog”. He was slightly more advanced than the sheep and would not be slaughtered, but he was still a livestock and could be replaced at any time.
She did not dare to offend her father. After leaving the basement, she quickly took Gradoni to the presidential palace.
The President, Kim Bradley, is also his father’s artificial man. He is a special creature made in human form that can age. He has the least experience. It has only been a few decades since his birth.
Soon after, a black car stopped in front of the Presidential Palace, and three people got out of the car.
One is Kim Bradley with an eye patch, and the other two are his wife and adopted son.
The wife was talking and laughing, holding the hand of her adopted son, and walked into the house. The family looked harmonious, but in fact, only this woman didn’t know. Even her adopted son was an artificial person, and the first artificial person. He was arrogant, Pride.
The guy who looks like a child is the boss of the androids, older than Rust and Gradoni.
Bradley looked through the reflective window and saw Rust beckoning to him in the Presidential Palace.
“Madam, you go into the room first. I will take Selim to the study and give him today’s homework.” Bradley made an excuse to send Madam away.
“Okay.” The president’s wife is very knowledgeable. She never disturbs her husband’s work.
Bradley took Pride to the study, where Rust and Gradoni were already waiting.
“My father’s order.” Lust said coldly: “Kill the restless guys in the army, and leave aside this place except Leor for the time being, and quickly advance the arrangements for other places.”
“Kill? Are you sure? There may be riots in the army like this.” Bradley frowned.
“The appointed day is coming soon. There is no need to keep these people alive.” Rust said, “If you are dissatisfied, you can go to Father.”
Bradley was silent for a while, and could only say: “I understand, and I will do it.”
“If you find it difficult, you can give me the list.” Rust flipped his hair enchantingly: “I’ll kill people for you.”
“Let Envi do it.” Pride, who looked like a child, said: “Let Envi become an internal member of the Suspicion Faction to kill people, and then slander and frame them, so that the Suspicion Faction will spend their energy on their own people. .”
“No.” Rust shook his head: “Envy. He may be dead.”
“Dead?” Pride looked up and changed his expression slightly: “Luster, where did you hear the news?”
“My father said that all of Envy’s Philosopher’s Stones have been liberated. He originally went to Leor to set up the national formation formation. He probably met some very troublesome people there.” Rust said.
“Really? That’s why I said I won’t care about Leo for the time being.” Pride touched his chin and pondered: “Then just follow your father’s instructions. Bradley, you go collect the list. After that, Rust and Gradoni went to destroy the body, swallowed the body, and faked the disappearance.”
“But remember, that Flame Alchemist, Roy Mustang, don’t touch him, he is the candidate for the human pillar.”
“I know.” Bradley nodded: “Then I’ll go now.”
Leo Hohenheim made the land he drew into a formation image, laid it out on the long table, and showed it to Ian temporarily.
“There are not many places left now.” Hohenheim pointed to those cities and said: “Apart from Leor, there are only these places left. In order to refine the blood seal of the formation, the little man in the bottle will definitely think We try our best to cause killings in these places, but just the two of us may not be able to stop their actions.”
“No.” Ian shook his head and said: “There are actually many people in the army who are our potential friends. Although the little man in the bottle controls the right to speak at the top of the government, when it is broken down below, I think there must be many people who have discovered Something is wrong.”
“Do you want to win them over?” Hohenheim pushed up the nose pads of his glasses: “But, as I said before, time is running out. Just studying how to deal with the villain in the bottle is a big problem. On this basis, you still have to win over people from the army. Isn’t it too distracting?”
“It doesn’t matter, just leave this aspect to me. I know some trustworthy candidates.” Ian said, “Please allow me to introduce someone to you.”
“Introduce someone? Who is it?” Hohenheim raised his head.
“Isaac McDougal.” Ian said: “He once served in the army and was known as the Alchemist of Ice.”
“Come in, Isaac!” Ian shouted to the door.
A man with fierce eyes walked in from outside the door. Isaac clenched his fists and moved his neck, making a crackling sound like fried beans.
One look at him showed that he was not easy to mess with, and he had an evil aura about him.
“I didn’t expect that there really is someone who can recreate the formation from the land.” He looked at the map on the table with complicated eyes.
“Now you should believe me, I am really on the same side as you.” Ian said.
Isaac did not speak, but brushed his fingers over various areas on the map. He stared at the “Ishval Area” for a long time.
It was after the “Ishval Annihilation War” that he discovered the anomaly in the country.
During the war, all national alchemists are obliged to fight for the country, and Isaac, the Ice Alchemist, is naturally among the participating teams.
In his team, he was the only one who survived, and all the others died in the battle.
At the end of the war, he found the Philosopher’s Stone refined from the souls of the dead in the devastated residential area. After some investigation, he discovered that the war was actually a conspiracy, and its purpose was to fight for a super huge Make a formation and make arrangements.
He believed that President Bradley was the mastermind of the entire conspiracy, so he later defected from the army and prepared to freeze the entire Central Command by himself using the Philosopher’s Stone in his hand.
In fact, he did just that, causing a scene in the capital and carving formations into neighborhoods.
But that night, he met that little kid, Fullmetal Alchemist.
The little Douding, who was much younger than him and far less physically strong than him, actually saw through his arrangement and destroyed his formation formation in advance. He failed to activate it successfully. During the escape process, he was also killed by the pair. The brother beat him up, but in the end he could only run away in panic, preparing to make a comeback.
He was found two weeks ago.
He escaped from the royal capital and ran to the countryside. He met the pursuers on the road, and just when he froze all their legs so that he could run away, the young man appeared in front of him.
It was late at night, he was wearing a cloak, covered in blood, and was on the way to escape in embarrassment.
“Really? So you are not dead, the alchemist of ice, Isaac McDougal.”
The young man stood in front of him and looked at him with a look of regret.
Isaac didn’t talk to him. He was a wanted criminal, and anyone who caught him would receive a reward from the government, dead or alive.
Isaac took action directly. He didn’t even feel the young man’s aura. He didn’t know when the young man came. As a soldier with experience on the battlefield, his intuition told him that this was not an opponent he could let loose. He had to hold on to him. Fight with determination to kill.
As a result, he received a severe education.
As if to let him know the difference in strength, the young man fought with him a few more times.
He was knocked unconscious, and when he woke up, he was already sitting on the train. Then he was taken to Real and was educated every day.
His previous dissatisfaction has disappeared. Now, he finally agrees with Ian, not only because Ian convinced him, but also because of the scenes he saw in Real.
The residents here get along well with Ian, and the children also like him. In addition to maintaining order, he also uses his own strength to help the people here drill wells, collect underground water, build sand-blocking greenhouses, sow crops, and irrigate farmland. .
Isaac believed that he could not do such a thing. He was just a warrior who could wave his fists. He did not have this ability to make the country and people’s lives better.
Ian told him that simply destroying the Central Command would not only fail to prevent the deployment of the National Formation Formation, but would also accidentally injure many innocent people.
Now he believed there might be a better way.
“What do you want me to do?” Isaac looked at Ian.
“As you can see, these cities have become targets, and they are expected to take action soon, so we need to assist these places.” Ian said: “But our manpower alone is obviously not enough, so I plan to reveal it to some people It’s the truth.”
“I have no objection to finding reinforcements.” Isaac said, “But we don’t know at all that those people are trustworthy. The Central Committee has been infiltrated into a sieve for a long time. I am just worried that someone will stab me in the back, so I have been alone. People versus government.”
“Don’t worry about this, I have someone.” Ian said, “Come with me to the royal capital. You can serve as a witness and tell the truth for those who participated in the Ishvar annihilation war.”
“Who are you talking about?” Isaac asked.
“The faction headed by Colonel Roy and Lieutenant Colonel Hughes.” Ian said: “They are trustworthy. If nothing else happens, they may be in trouble now and need friends to rescue them.”
At the Presidential Palace, Bradley slapped the list on the table.
The top one is the face of Lieutenant Colonel Mars Hughes. (End of chapter)
