Chapter 437: The Riseof the Electric Man!

~8 min read 1,520 words

Because he tidied the room too late last night, Max got up a little late today. By the time he rushed to the company to go to work, he was already late.

After being reprimanded by his supervisor, Max wanted to strangle the supervisor, but he just thought about it and did not have the courage. Soon, Max was at work.

Max was particularly diligent today. He wanted to finish the work at hand as soon as possible, and then get off work early without having to work overtime, so that he could go back and celebrate his birthday.

A day timeIt passed quickly and it was finally time to get off work. Max quickly packed up and was about to leave the company.

Arriving at the elevator, Max was about to enter the elevator when a voice next to him suddenly stopped him.

"Oh, Max, wait!"

Max turned his head and saw a face that he hated. The person who called him was his supervisor.

Seeing that he was being called out, Max had a bad feeling in his heart, because this annoying little white man would not call him something good, and on the contrary, calling him would definitely not do anything good.

As expected, the supervisor said expressionlessly: "Max, you stay."

"What?"

As the supervisor walked into the elevator, he spoke quickly: "There is something wrong with the circuit of the genetic experimental group. Go and have a look."

Max's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said in a pleading tone: "But today is my birthday..."

The supervisor had already entered the elevator and pressed the door button. Hearing Max's words, he smiled calmly: "Happy birthday to you!"

The elevator door closes.

Max looked at the closed elevator door, his expression changing constantly, including anger, unwillingness, dejection, and helplessness... Finally, he went back to work honestly.

He actually wanted to leave and shout loudly: I quit!

But after all, Max is no longer young, and now he has no fixed place. This job is his only source of income, and he cannot lose this job...

Max came to the power generation room of the genetic laboratory and started looking for circuit problems. He wanted to fix it quickly and go back. The reason why he was so anxious was because he promised his new friend to celebrate his birthday together today.

Max has no friends, so he naturally attaches great importance to this new friend.

The power generation room of the genetic laboratory is different from other power generation rooms. There is no traditional generator in it, but huge water tanks. In each water tank, there are many electric eels. These electric eels are the source of electricity for the genetic laboratory.

Biological power generation and power generation by organic life forms are one of the projects currently being researched by AOS.

Max was no stranger to this power plant, and he quickly found the problem—somewhere the circuit interface was detached.

It's not a big problem. Max breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he connected the interface, there would be no problem.

Max sang happy birthday to himself while climbing up to where the circuit problem was. He first dialed his colleague's walkie-talkie and asked him to help turn off the power in the area. However, the colleague was obviously busy with other things and did not cooperate with him. He just hung up the walkie-talkie after a few perfunctory words.

At this time, the correct and safe thing to do is for Max to close the circuit in this area himself.

However, in order to save time and trouble, Max did not do this...

He directly connected the two fallen interfaces... Max was also a little nervous when connecting, because if he didn't do it right, an accident would happen. Fortunately, nothing bad happened, and the circuit was connected smoothly.

Max smiled, relaxed, and pressed the circuit back into place...

The mutation happened at this moment!

Bang!

Sparks flew everywhere, and a powerful electric current spread directly throughout Max's body. Electric arcs shot out from Max's whole body, causing him to tremble all over and become unstable and fell from the ladder.

And under the ladder is a water tank filled with electric eels!

Max fell directly into the water tank. An "alien" suddenly appeared in the water tank, and he was immediately attacked crazily by a group of electric eels.

The output voltage of adult electric eels can reach 300 to 800 volts, so electric eels are known as the 'high-voltage lines' in the water! So what happens when a group of electric eels discharge electricity and attack the same person at the same time?

The electric arc flows and the fire splashes!

Max's whole body was wrapped in a flash of lightning, and he couldn't even scream, and his consciousness began to gradually blur...

A normal person would die in a few seconds from such an attack!

But something weird happened...

Max's entire body actually began to transform. His black skin began to become transparent, and he could clearly see countless electric lights flowing through the muscle tissue underneath. The most obvious change is that Max's eyes have become like electric eels.

Boom!

The water tank seemed to be unable to bear it, and it suddenly shattered. Countless electric eels fell to the ground with the water, and the arc began to disappear.

And Max also fell into a state of shock, his whole body charred.

There was such a loud noise here, which naturally alerted the people left behind in the company.

The company's top management was quickly alarmed. After all, a human life had occurred. In this information age, that was a very serious matter. However, after finding out the details of Max, the company's senior management chose to hide it and took Max's "body" to the company's underground warehouse, preparing to find an opportunity to dispose of it.

……

Today is definitely not an ordinary day!

The largest company in New York, Osborne Corporation, finally welcomed its heir today: Harry Osborn.

The relationship between "Spider-Man" Peter and his first girlfriend is also in crisis...

The sky is getting darker and darker, and darkness begins to shroud the entire New York City.

In the underground warehouse of Os Corporation, a "corpse" suddenly moved, and then, all the electrical equipment in the warehouse started on their own for no reason.

Suddenly, the "corpse" sat up on its own, revealing its charred body.

Boom! Boom!

The light bulbs on the roof suddenly exploded one after another due to excessive power load. Other electrical equipment was also running wildly, and the entire underground warehouse instantly became "lively".

FortunatelyThere is no one in the warehouse at the moment, otherwise if someone really sees him, he will definitely think that he has seen a ghost.

After the "corpse" sat up, it looked around blankly, then got up, picked up its clothes, and stumbled out of the warehouse.

With every step he took, the charred skin on his body was peeling off, revealing crystal clear skin. You could see blue current flowing in his muscles.

When he walked outside the warehouse, the charred parts of his body had completely fallen off, revealing a human-shaped face. It was Max!

At this time, Max has completelychanged and turned into an indescribable appearance. When normal people see his appearance, they will probably only think of two words: monster!

Max didn't realize at the moment that he was completely different. He was suffering from severe brain dizziness and was weak all over. He walked staggeringly, like a drunken strong man.

When he came to the street, all the cars started to sound their sirens, and the street lights flickered, as if to welcome a strong man.

Seeing the flashing car lights, Max couldn't help but get closer. His eyes stared at the flashing current in the car lights, showing a greedy look, like an addict encountering drugs and unable to resist.

Max couldn't help but stretched out his hand and touched the car's headlight.

A strange phenomenon occurred...

The current in the car actually flowed into Max's body through the headlight glass at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In a few breaths, the car's headlights completely dimmed.

After absorbing the electricity from a car, Max actually felt that his weak condition had improved a lot...

If Max was awake at this moment, he would definitely be scared of his behavior.

But his current consciousness is still vague, and all his actions are based on preference and instinct!

After absorbing the power of a car, Max was still not satisfied and turned his attention to the more prosperous streets in the distance. He saw countless currents, as tangled as a spider web.

But in Max's eyes, these currents that power the city have completely turned into "delicious food"!

Absorb it, absorb it...

The desire from the bottom of his heart drives Max towards the distance step by step, towards the wrong path...

From this moment on, Max is no longer the same Max, but -

Electro-optical man! ! !
