The ARGUS troops were out of town after an hour, so the roads were open and I was finally able to leave Starling without any problems.

I finally have everything I need, money and a key to open anything. Now I can settle down in Central City and wait for the Flash to show up, which will be a long time from now. By then I'll be able to eat a lot of people and I'm sure I'll have reached the limit of human capabilities. I'm already anxious to see how much I'll grow in strength. It won't be much use against meta-humans, though, because their powers are on a completely different level, and a normal human, even if their abilities are at their limits, just can't handle meta-humans. Of course, they can be outsmarted, as Oliver did in the fight with Flash, but it's just a matter of chance, Barry just wasn't very smart. But that didn't matter now, it was worth it to finish the mandatory stuff first before worrying about the meta-humans.

It wasn't a long drive, Starling wasn't very far from Central City, so I was here quickly.

The first thing to do was to get a place to live, which I would do in the morning, since I couldn't do it at night. So I'm going to sleep in the truck and look for the house I want.

In the morning I went to look at the house I had already chosen in advance. I had to look for quite a long time, but he who seeks will find. So, having solved all the problems with the apartment and quickly completed all the paperwork, I paid cash and the deal was finalized. I was now a citizen of Central City.

The house was big, a whole mansion. Two floors, six rooms, a couple of garages and, of course, a basement. When I bought the house, I looked first of all at the underground space, and this house had quite a lot of it. There was even a hatch to the old tunnels used during Prohibition. I'm not sure where they lead, since everything was welded and concreted up long ago, but it wouldn't be a problem to uncover the paths, and it wouldn't be hard to find a use for them. In this basement I was planning to make a home base. In the future I may make a base in another place, but this will be enough for me for now.

I can take the bodies in a van to my garage, and there I can unload them and move them to the basement. I'll dispose of them the old fashioned way, dissolve them in acid and dispose of them. If I can open the concreted passages, it will be much easier. Maybe I'll even burn them if I can solve the smoke problem, or come up with another method.

The house was in a fairly quiet neighborhood and enclosed by a large fence, I liked it immediately, hid a lot of things from prying eyes, so I bought the house without thinking. Expensive truth, almost a million dollars, but for the current me is not a particularly large amount. From the bank I was able to pull out almost thirty million dollars, and this is pretty decent money. I can use it to open a company and create my own business. Of course, it's not much, but it's enough for the first time. Only the money must first be registered, so to speak, people are not stupid and can find a connection between my money and the sailed good from Starling. So I need to get it cleaned up as soon as possible.

But I'll start with my house, I've got a lot of work coming up, no time to worry about business.

So, it's been a tremendous amount of work. It had been almost a week, and I had worked tirelessly to set up and remodel everything. I couldn't hire laborers, for security and secrecy reasons, so I had to plow by myself.

First of all, I upgraded my security system, threw out the old alarm system from the last century, and put in a brand new one. I installed cameras around the perimeter, motion detectors to prevent intruders on my property. Changed all the locks, installed soundproofing.

Of course, this was all just upstairs in the house, the basement was the most important.

First, the basement was converted into a lab, which was quite difficult. I am not a builder, so I had to learn as I went along. The lab was state-of-the-art and had a lot of money to spend on it. In addition, most of the equipment had not arrived yet, everything should arrive within a month. My new base was also set up nearby: several computers and monitors, a stand for weapons and my suit, and of course a training ground.

Also, I opened a concreted entrance. It led into old tunnels, I'm not sure what they were, maybe subway passages for something, but it was definitely not a subway. All in all it was pretty spacious, maybe I'll figure out what to do there in the future. There was also an exit to the surface, but it was also covered with earth, so I had to dig out the other side. They were useless now, so I closed back the metal door leading into 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 to arrive, which would be delivered within a month, and train and prepare for the upcoming fun. I was going to need strength sooner or later, and I needed to be in shape.

It's been two months, and today was a very significant day. A couple minutes ago, I became convinced that my bone marrow and eyes were no longer useful to me, just as my bones once were. I had finally reached the limits of human capability. I wouldn't say I was unhappy, I could be called superhuman now, and I wouldn't have to eat my eyes and scrape marrow out of my bones. But there was a downside, the stronger I got, the more hungry I became.

Now my visual acuity has reached an astonishing two kilometers, probably not a single normal person in the world would be able to see the features of another person's face at such a distance. Also my speed reached an astonishing 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 astonishing level. I can hold my breath underwater for forty minutes without any problems, and I can run for hours without getting tired.

The strength of my punch exceeds a whole ton, and the strength of my leg kick is over three thousand kilograms. I have installed special equipment, so I always keep track of my results and am amazed every time.

But behind all the successes was the main problem - hunger. It became much stronger, before I wanted to eat once every 6-7 days, but now this period has decreased by a whole day. Now I have to go hunting once every five days, so the number of people I kill and eat has increased significantly. So it's not surprising that the news started talking about missing people....
