As the director of the CIA, Walter Biddle didn't want to believe that there were mutants with superpowers in this world, but what was happening in front of him made him have to believe it.

There really are mutants in this world.

Walter Biddle was shocked.

"McTag, these Aliens, we have to keep them in jail." Walter Biddle yelled again at the CIA's secret agent Mora McTag.

"Mr. Director......"

Before Mora McTag could finish speaking, Walter Biddle angrily interrupted her, "I must submit this matter to the 'National Security' Committee, report it to President Kennedy, and hand it over to the 'National Security' Committee to consider whether mutants pose a certain threat to the national security of the United States." ”

Charles suddenly said: "Mr. Director, I believe that mutants and ordinary people will live in harmony and will not pose any threat to the national security of the United States." ”

Maura McTag also took the opportunity to say: "I think the most important job for us in the CIA right now is to find Sebastian Shaw, not to embarrass Charles and his two aides." ”

"Is this what you call mutants and ordinary people going to live in harmony?" Walter Biddle looked at Charles and said, "If, as Agent McTag put it, the mutant Sebastian Shaw is trying to influence the overseas military deployment of the United States through NATO's Colonel Hendry." Isn't that affecting the national security of the United States? ”

"Of course, I don't deny that mutants are just like ordinary people, there are good people and bad people. However, I would like to remind Mr. Director, do you think that with the current power of the American political axe and military, you will be able to resist the attack of mutants? ”

Walter Biddle sneered, "Do mutants want to rule the world?" ”

"Throughout the history of human evolution, the existence of mutant humans has often been accompanied by the extinction of sub-evolutionary species, but it is not necessarily absolute. From single-celled organisms, to marine organisms, to amphibians, to human beings, don't they get along very harmoniously? By the time sea creatures have come out of the ocean and crawl on land, they have mutated and evolved. However, marine and terrestrial creatures also get along well. ”

Listening to Charles, Walter Biddle said, "But now, it is humans who rule the earth. ”

"Of course, ape-man evolved to Homo sapiens, and then to modern man, and ape-man and Homo sapiens as sub-evolutionary species gradually became extinct. I do not deny that the evolution of human beings has such a tendency. Perhaps, one day, mutants will really rule the world, but at least not yet. ”

When Charles spoke, he was very calm and full of the brilliance of the surname.

"One day, mutants will rule the whole world? Ha ha...... Hahaha......" Walter Biddle said, suddenly laughing, "then let the mutants taste what the human fist is like." ”

He seems to have full confidence in the technological capabilities of humans, believing that mutants, no matter how powerful they are, will not be a match for humans.

Charles couldn't help but frown at Walter Biddle's words, he was full of plans to cooperate with the CIA against rampant mutants like Sebastian Shaw. But the director of the C.I.A. was arrogant and didn't take them seriously.

"Mr. Director, I feel like I'm a member of the human race myself, and as such, I don't have any hostility towards humanity and I don't want to be a troublemaker. I hope to work with the CIA to punish those mutants who do evil. ”

Charles spoke with a humble attitude.

Walter Biddle listened to Charles's words, and seemed to be moved, and was silent for a while.

At this moment, a somewhat obese man with glasses sitting next to Walter Biddle suddenly said, "Mr. Director, my department is in need of a mutant like Mr. Charles Ewell, if you don't mind, I think I can try to cooperate with Mr. Ewell......"

"Okay."

Walter Biddle replied quite simply this time.

"In that case, you should assist Hillencott in his research in the future."

……

After some hard work, Charles, Tang Lang, and Raven finally succeeded in cooperating with the CIA.

In the underground parking lot of the C.I.A.'s Washington branch, the three men were once again in Mora McTag's black Ford sedan.

Charles, Tang Lang, and Raven sat in the back seat.

Mora McTag was in charge of driving.

The fat man with glasses, whom the CIA director called "Hillencott", sat in the co-pilot's seat.

"William Hillencott. Director of the CIA's secret research base. It's a pleasure to work with all of you. ”

As soon as Hillencott got into the car, he turned around and introduced himself with a smile to Charles, Tang Lang, and Raven.

"CIA secret research base?" Tang Lang was full of interest in this, "Can you tell us what kind of secret research you are mainly engaged in?" ”

Hillencourt smiled mysteriously, "My department is mainly researching some supernatural powers, which are used for military defense, or offense. ”

"I think it should also include a study of all sorts of spy tools, such as a matchbox-sized miniature camera for stealing photographs, rings for microfilm, ciphering ink, and so on." Tang Lang said with a smile.

"That's right." Hillencott laughs and says, "It's our side hustle." ”

A few people talked and laughed all the way, and instead of the tense atmosphere of the CIA's Washington branch, they were replaced by friendly and joyful cheers.

In her Ford car, Maura McTag quickly drove out of Washington, D.C., to a manor dozens of kilometers in the suburbs.

"The working environment here is much better than in Washington"

After getting out of the car, Tang Lang breathed in the fresh air and couldn't help but admire.

"Welcome to my department!"

As he spoke, William Hillencourt led the group into the pale red building on the manor, which covered an area of thousands of square meters.

In the corridor, people came and went, and when they saw Hillenkot, they all nodded.

Under the guidance of Hillencott, Tang Lang, Charles, Raven, and Mora McTag arrived at the laboratory of the CIA's secret research base.

The loft space of the laboratory is very huge, like the building of a factory, which is full of various chemical instruments, and there is even a model of an airplane more than one person high.

A young man in a white lab coat is in the laboratory, looking at patches through a microscope. Hearing the footsteps of someone entering, his eyes just left the microscope and looked at the crowd.

Tang Lang looked and found that the young man was wearing a pair of eyes and his face was extremely gentle.

"Hank McCoy is the most gifted researcher in the lab at our secret CIA research base." After introducing him, Hillencott also introduced Tang Lang, Charles and others to him, "They are all new members of our CIA secret research base. ”

"It's been a pleasure to meet everyone. I hope we have a happy cooperation in the future. ”

Hank McCoy has a kind expression, and even a little shy when he speaks.

He immediately took everyone on a tour of the laboratory.

When he walked up to the model of the plane, Hank McCoy said, "This is the 'Blackbird', codenamed SR-71A, an aircraft developed by Lockheed, which is the most advanced supersonic aircraft at the moment. However, I am not very happy with it...... To be honest, I've been modding it recently. ”

Tang Lang looked at Hank McCoy, who was twenty-five or sixteen years old, and heard him say that he was going to modify the "Blackbird", and admired it in his heart: "This ...... What a genius! ”

-- The Blackbird is a spy plane that can fly at an altitude of 28,200 meters and a maximum speed of 3.2 times the speed of sound. Its surface is coated with black epoxy resin, which makes the entire aircraft appear black, like a blackbird.

It has an excellent self-propelled system. The advanced electronic countermeasure system can easily detect the existence of danger and get rid of the attack of enemy missiles. The electronic intelligence system equipped on it can intercept radio signals within a radius of several hundred kilometers.

However, the Blackbird's strongest thing is its reconnaissance equipment. Various types of image and signal intelligence equipment installed on board can be taken automatically during the flight. Even at an altitude of 24,000 meters, it is still able to take clear images of the ground.

"Modified Blackbird!?"

Charles looked at Hank McCoy with admiration, "It seems that among all the mutants, you are indeed very talented. ”

At this time, Hillencott glanced at Hank McCoy in surprise and said to Charles, "What? Did I hear me right? Hank is a mutant!? ”

Tang Lang knew that the mind reader Charles had secretly read Hank McCoy's thoughts and memories, and naturally discovered the fact that he was a mutant.

"What? You don't know? Charles looked at Hillencott, "I thought Hank was your subordinate, you should know him well." ”

"This is the first time I've heard of it," Hillencott said. He turned to Hank McCoy and said, "I didn't expect you to hide so deeply. ”

Hank McCoy had an embarrassed look on his face.

Charles hurriedly apologized to him: "I'm sorry, I thought Mr. Hillencott already knew that you were a mutant. ”

"It's okay." Hank McCoy said, "I just don't want people to know that I'm a special person. ”

Tang Lang said: "Then you don't have to feel that you are the only mutant in the world in the future." He gestured to Charles and Raven, "He's a mind reader, and she's a Shapeshifter, and she's the same kind of person as you." ”

Raven immediately changed her true appearance, then smiled and said to Hank McCoy, "You can show off your superpowers as well." ”
