A bridge
Communicate between humans and mutants
If he heard this from other people, Stryker would just sneer and find it ridiculous.
But what he faced was Luke, a war hero who always liked to create miracles and a great Superman who had done many incredible things.
The same words spoken by different people have different weights.
War hero, Superman, savior of the Allies, World War II terminator, sorceress pile driver... Each title represents unparalleled prestige and status.
Many people say that if Luke declares his participation in the next presidential campaign, he will definitely win the White House with a huge advantage without any suspense.
It's a pity that this major general is too impatient and has no interest in becoming the youngest president in the history of the United States.
"General, please forgive me for being short-sighted and unable to see the future you foresee."
Stryker said this after thinking for a long time.
He doesn't think it's necessary for humans to live in harmony with mutants.
According to the original law of the jungle, isn't it the simplest and most direct way to eliminate it
"Do you think defeating mutants is easy?"
Luke visited this huge and solid military base and whispered: "As long as Congress allows you to mobilize troops with live ammunition, you can rush into their homes and arrest all these time bombs."
"They were put with electric shock collars around their necks, thrown into metal cages, and regularly injected with leech serum. They were dissected, tortured, and conducted inhumane and cruel experiments like livestock."
Stryker was silent, he really thought so.
"The concepts Dr. Teslak instilled in you are not necessarily correct."
Luke curled his lips. Of course he knew that the dwarf scientist wanted to use mutants as tools to make cutting-edge weapons.
But what good will this do to yourself
Let bald eagles rule the world
That would be less interesting than setting up a superhuman regime similar to the Third Reich.
"Fixed thinking limits your cognition. Stryker, have you ever thought about a question after following Dr. Teslak for so long?"
Luke was talking to Stryker while thinking about how to use this military base.
"Where do mutants come from? Do they appear regularly? Children born between mutant couples will definitely be mutants?"
"In other words, under what circumstances are mutants more likely to be born?"
Stryker frowned and said solemnly: "Sorry, General, I don't know."
"Dr. Teslak's current research is currently limited to the drawing of genetic maps and has not progressed to this step."
"Let me tell you, Striker."
Luke stopped and opened the door to the control room, feeling damp and moldy air blowing in his face.
"The birth of mutants is irregular. They are split from the human group. Even more bold assumptions are that everyone in the world may have the X gene in their body. Once it is activated, it will turn into a mutant. people!"
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
Stryker was listening intently, but he was unexpectedly faced with the most troublesome question for a single person.
He shook his head quickly and explained: "Ahem, I'm from Arizona, and the atmosphere there is more conservative."
Stryker tried to save the last dignity of the bachelor.
"Then you might as well think about it, if you get married in the future and give birth to a lovely child. But he or she is a mutant, what will you do?"
Luke raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "You want to put that little cutie in a cage too?"
Stryker had nothing to say, and after a while he said: "I was wrong, General. You are the one who has seen the furthest, and was the first to realize the contradictions between the two races and the nature of their interdependence."
At this moment, he could be said to be sincerely convinced by the young major general in front of him.
What started out as idol worship turned into a firm following.
"Okay, the visit is over. Tell Dr. Teslak that I'll find him a better new home."
Luke gently touched the complicated buttons on the console, and an idea came to his mind.
If Sebastian Xiao takes the initiative to come and raid the dam base of Akalia Lake, then if he directly opens the floodgate of the flood discharge channel, will he be able to eliminate this guy without any effort
The talent of absorbing and transforming energy may not be effective in the face of a terrifying torrent like a roaring mountain or a tsunami.
"I hope Sebastian Xiao can take the initiative and deliver it to his door."
Luke thought with a chuckle.
…
…
Anna Maria Island, Oceanfront Hotel.
Namor, who had just joined the Hellfire Club, met his compatriots for the first time.
Not just Sebastian Shaw, White Queen Emma Frost, but also all kinds of other mutants.
"This is Namor Mackenzie whom I often mention. He is the king of Atlantis and a leader worthy of everyone's following."
Sebastian was like a White House spokesman, introducing himself on behalf of Namor.
In his opinion, Namor, who had just ascended the throne, was immature and green.
He has no personality charm or leadership aura at all. He can only be regarded as a tool man at best.
"But... this is just what I want, an easy-to-control puppet."
Sebastian was smiling, with satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
Relying on Namor's identity as a mutant, he gradually gets closer to the other party.
After gaining trust, he set out to create a violent conflict that could not be reconciled between mutants and humans.
Let Namor have a hatred and hostility towards human beings, and then strive to start a war between the underwater world and land civilization!
This is his plan!
As for the hero who saves his compatriots and the leader who leads the mutants to create a future... those are all false lies like lying to children.
It's just like when your parents collect red envelopes for you during the holidays and promise to return them to you later.
If anything, mutants must have a leader.
That would just be me!
Sebastian Xiao thought so.
"The situation of mutants has always been very bad. Human beings regard us as freaks and aliens! They exclude and persecute us! They are unwilling to admit that it is their own ignorance and ignorance that has caused all this. Just like they burned Bruno to death and burned the witches It’s like being burned at the stake!”
Sebastian's voice was passionate and he started a eloquent speech mode.
"Because they are just a group of short-sighted low-level creatures. Once they find something they cannot understand or accept, they will feel scared, panic, and even stay awake at night. They must be completely strangled before they give up."
"My compatriots, we are obviously the pioneers on the road of evolution, but now we are forced to hide here and there, like rats in the sewer. Is this fair?"
The hotel suite was silent, but everyone's face was filled with hatred and their eyes were filled with anger.
It must be said that Sebastian Shaw's words are very inflammatory to mutants who have been treated unfairly all year round.
Even Namor beside him was reminded of his painful childhood experiences, and his chest filled with anger.
Click!
A bolt of silver lightning struck down, tearing apart the thick dark clouds.
I don’t know when the waves on the sea were raging, as if echoing everyone’s mood.
"Now, it's time to stand up and resist!"
Sebastian looked at Namor, who was standing tall, and said solemnly: "We have a new leader, we are no longer a mess."
"If you want to be the leader of mutants, you have to prove yourself!"
A young man in a suit stood up. He was "Riptide" and had the innate ability to spin at high speed and create tornadoes.
Belongs to the core of the Hellfire Club.
"I'm not questioning you, Mr. Shaw, nor am I targeting... Namor, our new compatriot."
Riptide was like an invited extra, saying loudly: "It's just that the position of leader is not just chosen by anyone. At least we must trust him enough, and he must also show the strength to convince everyone!" (End of Chapter)
