Chapter 13

The ARGUS troops were withdrawn from the city an hour later, so the roads were open and I was finally able to leave Starling without any problems.

Finally, I have everything I need, money, and a key to open anything. Now it remains to settle in Central city and you can safely wait for the flash to appear, and this will happen very soon. By then, I will be able to eat a lot of people and will probably reach the limit of human capabilities. I can't wait to see how much I'll grow in strength. Although it won't be very useful against metahumans, their powers are on a completely different level, an ordinary person, even if their abilities are at the limit of their capabilities, simply won't be able to cope with meta-people. Of course, they can be outwitted, as Oliver did in the fight with Flash, but this is just a matter of chance, just Barry was not very smart. But it doesn't matter right now, you should finish the mandatory tasks first, and then worry about the meta-people.

I didn't drive long, and Starling wasn't very far from Central city, so I got here quickly.

The very first thing to do was to buy a house, which I will do in the morning, because at night it just can't be done. So I'll spend the night in the truck while I look for the house I need.

In the morning I went to look at the house that I had already chosen in advance. It's a long time to search, but the one who is looking, he will find. So having solved all the problems with the living space and quickly completed all the paperwork, I paid in cash and the transaction was completed. I am now a citizen of Central city.

It was a big house, a mansion. Two floors, six rooms, a couple of garages, and of course a basement. When buying, I looked primarily at the underground rooms, and this house was quite large. There was even a hatch to the old tunnels that were used during prohibition. I'm not sure where they lead, since everything has been brewed and concreted for a long time, but it will not be difficult to discover the ways, and it will not be difficult to find a use for them. In this basement, I planned to make a home base. In the future, I may make a base somewhere else, but this will be enough for me for now.

I can take the bodies of people in a van to my garage, and then safely unload them and move them to the basement. I will get rid of them according to the old method, dissolve them in acid and dispose of them. If I can open the concreted passages, it will be much easier. Perhaps I will even burn if I can solve the problem with smoke, or come up with another method.

The house was in a fairly quiet area and surrounded by a large fence, I liked it immediately, hiding a lot from prying eyes, so I bought the house without hesitation. It's a bit expensive, almost a million dollars, but it's not a very big amount for the current me. I managed to get almost thirty million dollars out of the Bank, which is quite a lot of money. I can use them to open a company and create my own business. Of course, it is small, but it will be enough for the first time. Only the money first needs to be registered so to speak, people are not fools and I can find a connection between my money and the goods that have sailed away from Starling. Therefore, you need to wash them as soon as possible.

But first, I'll take care of my house, now there is a lot of work planned, there is no time to worry about business.

So, the work was done grandiose. It's been almost a week, and I've been working tirelessly on everything. I couldn't hire workers, for security and secrecy reasons, so I had to plow myself.

First of all, I updated the security system, threw out the old alarm system from the last century, and installed a completely new one. I installed cameras and motion sensors around the perimeter to prevent intruders on my territory. Changed all the locks, installed new insulation.

Of course, it was only upstairs in the house, in the basement was the most important thing.

First, the basement was converted into a laboratory, which was quite difficult. I'm not a Builder, so I had to learn how to do it. The laboratory was made with the latest technology and it took a lot of money. In addition, most of the equipment has not yet arrived, everything should arrive within a month. Also, my new base was equipped nearby: several computers and monitors, a stand for weapons and my suit, and of course a training ground, where without it.

I also opened the concreted entrance. It led to old tunnels, I'm not sure what they were, maybe underground passages for something, but it wasn't a subway. In General, it was quite spacious, maybe in the future I'll figure out what to do there. There was also an exit to the surface, but it was also covered with earth, so we had to dig out from the other side. Now they were useless, so I closed back the metal door leading to the tunnels, and also covered the exit to the surface with earth.

When everything was ready, all I had to do was wait for the lab equipment that was supposed to be delivered within a month, as well as train and prepare for the upcoming fun. Still, sooner or later I will need strength and I need to be in shape.

Two months have passed, and today was a very significant day. A couple of minutes ago, I was convinced that my bone marrow and eyes were no longer useful to me, just like my bones once were. I have finally reached the limit of human capacity. I won't say that I was dissatisfied, now I can be called a super person, and I won't have to eat my eyes and scrape the bone marrow out of my bones. But there were downsides to this: the stronger I got, the more hungry I became.

Now my visual acuity has reached an astounding two kilometers, probably no other normal person in the world would be able to see the features of another person at this distance. Also, my speed has reached an amazing fifty kilometers per hour, at this speed I can run not very long, no more than thirty minutes. But even that was enough for me, there were probably no such people in the world yet. My stamina and strength are also at an amazing level. I can easily hold my breath underwater for forty minutes, and I can run for hours without getting tired.

The force of my kick exceeds a whole ton, and the force of my kick is more than three thousand kilograms. I have installed special equipment, so I always monitor my results and am amazed every time.

But behind all the success was the main problem – hunger. It has become much stronger, I used to want to eat once every 6-7 days, but now this period has decreased by a whole day. Now I have to go out hunting once every five days, so the number of killed and eaten by me has increased significantly. Therefore, it is not surprising that the news began to talk about missing people...
