Chapter 373 Ghost on the Sea
Three hours later.
In the secret conference room at BioGen Innovations' Veridiania headquarters...
Bertrand was visibly frustrated.
Inside the room, representatives from the six allied nations had already gathered.
Bertrand paced back and forth, hands behind his back. "This can't go on!"
"I don't know what Mr. Prescott was thinking, agreeing to sign the contract!"
"Didn't you hear that kid? He wants to bring us down!"
"We can't just sit back and watch him grow!"
The representatives from the six allied nations were also frowning, more anxious than ever.
Arcturus, the rat-faced elder, hesitated. "Mr. Gary, about BioGen Innovations' technology..."
Bertrand suddenly slammed the table. "I'll share it with you! Gather all your B+ or higher modified humans and send them to BioGen Innovations immediately!"
"I'll spare no expense to upgrade them all!"
Bertrand's eyes were filled with malice. "Punisher only has one Black Clothes right now, and he's just a C-level peak!"
"Get me people as fast as you can. I want to create a C+ team to assassinate Black Clothes!"
"If we can't beat him one-on-one, we'll swarm him!"
Everyone's faces turned grim.
This...
Bertrand glared at them. "Stop dithering! What's wrong with killing? Which of your organizations hasn't spilled blood?"
"Besides, that kid isn't using Veridiania's power. What are we afraid of?"
"This is just a competition between modification institutions. Winner takes all, loser gets nothing!"
"We just need to kill Black Clothes quickly. Without a hero, how can he rise?"
The group clenched their fists, thinking for a moment.
Arcturus, the rat-faced elder, cautiously said, "Mr. Gary, if his base is built, he'll definitely create more modified humans in the future!"
Thinking of the mysterious Phantom Island, everyone fell silent.
Arcturus's face turned sinister. "I have a modified human under my command who awakened a strange ability after reaching B-level. He's an expert swimmer, can move rapidly underwater, and hold his breath for tens of minutes! How about..."
Bertrand was stunned at first, then suddenly realized something.
He nodded repeatedly, a sinister smile forming on his lips.
The head of the Elysium Cove modification institution gritted his teeth and whispered, "I can smuggle in underwater C4 explosives!"
The others finally reacted, all exclaiming in shock, "You want to blow up..."
Bertrand sneered. "So what? Isn't that island in international waters? No jurisdiction!"
After a long while, the group's expressions flickered, and they finally gritted their teeth.
They decided to follow Bertrand's plan.
A real man was not afraid to take risks!
Meanwhile, Elbert had returned to the Lab Graveyard.
He threw himself into his workbench, various machines and lathes whirring, while the virtual screen above his head continuously calculated various data.
Robert was also frantically accessing network knowledge, constantly researching, organizing, creating technology, and solving one problem after another.
On Phantom Island, thousands of workers and hundreds of machines were working around the clock, 24/7.
Elbert, though in the Lab Graveyard, was continuously transmitting construction plans through the network.
The entire process was busy yet orderly, progressing smoothly.
During this time, Alaric and Leonard visited, eager for modification technology.
But Elbert only told them to wait.
Elbert had already arranged for Laura to fully restart the M-69 project, build equipment, and recruit personnel.
But this would take time.
Moreover, for the modifications of the Dragon Might and Wavehaven special forces, Elbert had to go through FutureTech Group.
Only by not mixing with the Punisher Organization could he ensure the Punisher Organization's neutrality.
Five days later.
Alaric and Leonard visited again.
Elbert's work was beginning to show results. On his workbench were a half-finished precision mechanical leg, a mechanical arm, and two large, high-tech sniper rifles.
There were also two mechanical umbrellas, one black and one white.
Leonard had a vague premonition upon seeing these, but he only glanced at the five children in the distance without asking more.
Elbert, however, had good news for them!
FutureTech Group was ready!
Moreover, Elbert had transferred the third-tier cube technology to FutureTech Group!
Leonard and Alaric were overjoyed!
They immediately began preparing personnel. Dragon Might and Wavehaven special forces each selected ten members to undergo modifications!
Thus, Elbert fully honored his promise to Leonard!
Ten days later.
Phantom Island in international waters had begun to take shape!
The once vegetation-covered island had transformed into a flat, water-based city!
Fan-shaped three-story buildings sprawled across the island, their walls a matte black-gray.
The entire island was coated with Elbert's patented 'bionic sonar material,' making it undetectable by global radar!
At the back of the island stood a tall chimney, housing the island's nuclear reactor!
The island's perimeter had been reinforced with metal, and eight massive thrusters, each the size of a house, were being assembled one by one.
For days, people along the coastline watched through binoculars as this technological marvel took shape, amazed.
They marveled, took countless photos, and sparked huge discussions online!
People knew this was the Punisher Organization's base, linked to the high-tech company Twins.
Twins had already earned the reputation of 'Future Group' in people's hearts!
Now, with the appearance of this island, the world was both shocked and unsurprised!
It's Twins; anything was possible!
People wanted to explore, but were blocked by numerous private maritime security teams, unable to get close.
The world's attention was tightly focused on Phantom Island!
Experts had already pointed out that the island used at least a hundred technologies beyond current capabilities!
While nations were in awe, they were also fearful!
The island was neutral for now, but filled with incomprehensible technology!
This was a threat!
Various forces tried to gather information about Phantom Island, but were shocked to find...
Despite involving dozens of large companies and thousands of workers, the secrecy was impeccable, like a fortress!
They couldn't extract any information.
Everyone involved in the construction, regardless of their position, had only one response: "No comment on matters of the divine realm!"
