Many military officers and state government personnel also died at that time, all done by Eric Kent!
Meli said to the two women, "General Lane and I survived that disaster.
"Eric once wanted to kill you?"
"Yes, but that's understandable."
Meli let out a long breath and said, "Because besides General Lane and me, the soldiers and officials were all infected with the virus and became unkillable monsters!"
As she spoke, Meli shivered.
She thought of her colleagues who had grown wings.
"Is that so?"
Chloe nodded; she now understood why Eric had gone on a rampage.
Louise, standing nearby, took out a lighter, hesitated for a moment, then aimed it at the document.
"Hey!"
Chloe immediately snatched the document away, "Are you crazy? Why would you burn it?!"
"My father told me to do it."
Louise looked at her cousin and said helplessly, "He called me before he was put under full surveillance and told me to destroy these things."
"Destroy?"
Chloe looked at the document bag in her hand and thought for a moment.
"I understand! The military is restricting General Lane's freedom because they want him to reveal the true identity of Homelander or Kyle Miser. Although he hasn't said anything yet, if the military finds these things, they will definitely confirm Eric's identity and list him as an enemy!"
Chloe looked at the serious-faced Louise, "But why is your father so protective of Eric?"
"I don't know."
Louise took the document bag, preparing to burn it.
But a figure suddenly appeared in the room and charged forward, instantly knocking Louise and Chloe down!
Meli hadn't expected an unknown presence in her room, so she immediately rolled over and ran towards the drawer.
She pulled out a pistol from the drawer and aimed it at the dark figure that had suddenly appeared in the room.
But before she could fire, the dark figure instantly vanished from the room.
Meli, breathing heavily, walked over to the two women, still holding her gun.
"Are you two alright?"
"We're fine, but we messed up!"
Chloe stood up from the ground.
She wasn't seriously injured.
"The document was taken. Once Homelander's identity is exposed, everything is over!"
Louise, who had only been pushed in the chest, stood up, clutching her somewhat sore chest, her face filled with an expression of defeat.
She didn't know how to explain it to her father.
Inside the Kryptonian spaceship!
"Kal-El's strength is not as good as Keir's; he is nothing to worry about! Find the spaceship that brought him to Earth, and we will find the Codex!"
General Zod said to his subordinates.
"It seems there was an unexpected turn of events! However, it's a relatively good one!"
The bald scientist said to General Zod, "I have found the Codex!"
"Where?"
General Zod immediately asked him.
"Inside Kal-El's body. To be precise, most of it was placed on Kal-El's body by Jor-El, and a small part was placed on Keir's body!"
"How is that possible?"
General Zod's eyes showed disbelief. "Keir is not Jor-El's son!"
"Jor-El took the Codex of Life, combining the DNA of a billion people into his son's cells. This descendant of a Kryptonian exile contains the genes of all Kryptonians. And Keir was imbued by Jor-El with everything from Krypton's ancient past to its future, and an infinitely continuing future; countless possibilities will be evolved by Keir."
"If Kal represents infinite possibilities and Krypton's past, then Keir represents Krypton's future!"
The bald man said to General Zod.
"I don't believe in a vague future; I only believe in the future I hold in my hands!"
General Zod's eyes showed a complex expression as he looked at the vast cosmic sky.
"What should I do now? Should I capture Kal-El alive? Let his cells contribute the Codex?"
"No!"
The bald scientist shook his head.
General Zod hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and gave an order to his subordinates.
"Then, activate the World Engine!"
"Wait!"
The bald scientist, who was checking the engine's status, gasped, "The main control room key has been tampered with!"
"Key?"
General Zod looked at the scientist. "Impossible! No outsider can enter the main control room."
"I checked the program setting records!"
The bald scientist, sweating profusely, operated the spaceship's main control system. "Someone copied the main control room key and entered the World Engine's operating program. He seems to want to compete with us for control of the spaceship, no, not control! He's writing a program!"
"What program?"
General Zod grew more alarmed as he listened, walking over to the bald scientist and looking at the virtual display.
"He gained access and modified our program. He wants to—!"
A look of horror flashed in the bald scientist's eyes. "He wants to seize our spaceship, seize the World Engine, and terraform the planet his way—"
"What?"
General Zod was stunned by his words.
"Who is it?!"
When he thought of the suspect, the first person he thought of was Eric.
"Kyle Miser? Impossible! How did he get the main control key?"
General Zod couldn't maintain his inner calm and looked at his subordinates.
"And didn't he say he was from Earth? Why would he attack his own planet? This would cause the destruction of countless Earth humans!"
General Zod couldn't understand why Eric would attack his own Earth!
"Is Keir an ambitious man?"
Muttering to himself in a low voice, Zod came to an answer he himself couldn't believe.
"Not necessarily Earth."
The bald scientist said, "He sees our spaceship as a planetary weapon!"
"Then stop him!"
General Zod roared at the scientist, his eyes bloodshot.
"Keir was imbued with all of Krypton's knowledge, but he grew up on Earth. I don't believe he can surpass you in the application and development of the World Engine!"
"I... I will stop him, General!"
The bald scientist said to General Zod, sweating profusely.
"After gaining absolute control of the World Engine, activate the engine to terraform Earth. Molecular restructuring will change Earth's environment, impact Earth's core, make Earth's gravity more significant, and gradually transform Earth into Krypton. This way, we can rebuild our home!"
As Zod spoke, he turned his gaze to Fiora, "Don't worry about Kal for now; find Keir and stop him!"
After speaking, he looked at his Kryptonian soldiers.
His eyes gleamed with a grave and sharp look; he had already begun to suspect there were Earth spies among his subordinates.
Very well, not only are there Keir and Kal, two Kryptonian traitors, among the Kryptonians, but there are also other Kryptonian traitors!
On the other side, Eric, who was being sought everywhere by the Kryptonians, was currently in the Fortress of Solitude in the Arctic.
"That spaceship was built by you, wasn't it?"
Eric shouted in the empty space.
"Yes, it was built by me!"
Jor-El's voice echoed around him.
"With the main control key, you can control the spaceship?"
Eric asked him.
"Partially. General Zod has already completed most of the spaceship's modifications. What I can do is limited."
Jor-El was silent for a moment, then asked Eric, "You just used the equipment platform I provided you to try and contend with General Zod for control of the spaceship? That's impossible to succeed."
"Of course I know."
Eric crossed his arms and looked at the central crystal pillar in the Fortress. "I'm just buying him time."
"Time? General Zod's time is limited, but my child, your time is also limited. Once he breaks free of his body's restraints, he will become one of the most powerful warriors on Krypton."
"Most powerful?"
Eric asked him coldly, "More powerful than Clark and me?"
"You and Clark are different; your strength is twice his! But you need to grow, my child!"
"No, there's no time for growth here."
Eric held the main control key and shook his head.
The reason he used the main control key to contend for the World Engine's control in the Secret Fortress and continuously modify information was simply to prepare for seizing the opponent's spaceship to the greatest extent possible.
Only by constantly fighting against the opponent could he understand the spaceship's structure.
