Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Collapsed Brotherhood of Mutants

If it is to suppress the development of the new class of mutants, it is possible for S.H.I.E.L.D. and the federal government to spend a lot of effort to artificially cultivate angels, but the high requirements of angels for the living environment determine the enormity of investment, of course, cultivating one hundred and eighty is not a problem, it is not a problem to really be ruthless to cultivate a thousand or ten thousand, the problem is that if you want to increase the order of magnitude later, that kind of consumption is that the federal government can't bear it. If the number never goes up, the angels will not be able to become a new class, at most they will be a relatively special army.

What about mutants? Now that the number of mutants has exceeded 10 million, the formation of a new class is already a fact, not a slogan! As long as large-scale natural and man-made disasters do not occur, the status of the mutant class will be unshakable! This is determined by the overall number of mutants, and with the passage of time, Li Yunlong believes that the number of mutants will become more and more, and within 10 years, mutants are expected to usher in a major population explosion. The situation of angels does not even have to be deduced, even if the federal government can spend a lot of effort and resources to promote the growth of angels at the beginning, the number of tens of thousands is the limit, this kind of cost-effective problem, the federation cannot not see it, whether it is happy or not, the federation will not be able to support it. It's just that angels have such high requirements for the environment, without a lot of manpower and material resources consumption, they can't even maintain it, and what greets angels is not only not able to grow, but the number will gradually decrease, this kind of consumption will be played to ten years later, it's hard to say how many angels can be left, not to mention that even in the current situation, it is difficult for the Federation to make up its mind to consume so many resources in one go, just to increase the number of angels! Calculated inside and out, mutants will eventually completely overwhelm angels with their own numbers.

Since the victory has already been decided, then there is no need to rush to make a move, Li Yunlong, who has a good mentality, poured himself a glass of wine, and suddenly came to inspiration when he was drinking, and this exclusivity of angels seems to have a lot to do.

is different from Li Yunlong's laziness, since the death of Magneto, the demon girl has fallen into a rush, longing for 48 hours a day, and the whole person feels too busy. Originally, according to Magneto's plan, after Magneto's accident, she could pull out a team belonging to the Demonic Girl from within the Mutant Brotherhood, and at the same time bite the Mutant Brotherhood to get enough initial funds. Although the matter of Angel's Blood distracted the Demon Girl, according to the plan that had been made a long time ago, there should not be much of a problem.

Which Cheng thought that Magneto would die all kinds of messy people, one counted as one, and all jumped out, which even the Demon Girl's subordinates could not avoid, and a good team was divided into more than a dozen pieces, and if a few backbones could be pulled out, it was already considered that the Demon Girl had the means. Thankfully, before this, the Shapeshifter had used her power in the Brotherhood of Mutants to transfer some of her resources, otherwise even those resources would have been beaten up.

Lao Mei's economy was not good in 2007, and as soon as Magneto died, it was like flipping a switch and throwing the fat of the mutant brotherhood into the financial pond, and countless hungry financial predators pounced on it as quickly as possible and ate up this piece of fat in the shortest possible time. The demon girl herself estimates that the assets involved in the mutant brotherhood reach hundreds of billions of dollars, and I don't know how many people will be full of oil at this time, and even Lao Mei's economy has been improving for a short time.

But in this process, the members of the original mutant brotherhood did not get any benefits, or the bottom members who accounted for the vast majority of them were unlucky! Originally, the jobs generated by the mutant brotherhood relying on its own industry were given priority to its own members, but now the mutant brotherhood is gone, and the assets have been embezzled by others, and these first-level mutants are naturally swept away. Originally, because of the bad economy in 2007, many companies laid off employees, and there were great difficulties in reemployment. Lao Mei's living habits are not to save money, and he is used to spending tomorrow's money today, and this time without work and life will immediately become a problem, many of them have to take risks, plus I don't know who is behind the scenes, the contradiction between mutants and ordinary people has been pushed to the forefront again!

Finance is a big problem for a modern country, and if there is a problem with finance, it will have problems up and down. Lao Mei's current situation is like this, subprime loan problems lead to other problems, like dominoes, involving more and more problems, bigger and bigger. In the face of this kind of big problem, many people are trying to find a way, because as time goes by, the problem is getting bigger and bigger, more and more people are being involved, and more and more people are trying to save themselves.

More and more people don't believe it, or don't have time to wait for the federal government to make a move. As a result, everybody is acting in their own interests, you come up with a plan of action A, I come up with a plan of action B, and he's coming up with a plan of action C...... There is no unity and coordination between each other, and many people are simply nonsense under the wall in a hurry, and it is not normal not to make a mess!

In this complex situation, it is not difficult to understand that some people have some dark minds and want to do something. The collapse of the mutant brotherhood marked by Magneto's death has made many people feast, but it is not without a price, what about the more than 5 million former mutant brotherhood members? But so many people have lost their jobs all of a sudden, who can guarantee that they won't make trouble? If they can't eat, can people still live? If they can't live, their lives are gone, and the law is a piece of!

But the more chaotic it is, the more people who want to speculate jump out, all kinds of organizations, all kinds of slogans, all kinds of rights protection actions, the recent news demonstrations have not stopped, several vicious large-scale brawls have broken out, and many prisons have become overcrowded!

On the evening of October 31, 2007, a middle-aged man with a small head but a strong appearance pushed an old man in a wheelchair to Li Yunlong's hut and rang the doorbell.

Li Yunlong opened the door, "You're Professor X, right? Then this is Wolverine, right? Please come in, please come in." ”

Professor X "took the liberty of visiting and interrupted. Wolverine didn't say anything and pushed the professor into the cabin.

Li Yunlong: "Water or tea?"

Professor X: "Two glasses of water are fine." ”

Li Yunlong sent two glasses of water, "Professor X, you are a celebrity, why did you suddenly come to my cabin today?" Li Yunlong didn't know Professor X, and there was no friendship between the two. Li Yunlong is nothing more than an illegal resident of Los Angeles, and Professor X has been a TV celebrity in recent years, often participating in some influential programs, and is almost universally recognized as a representative of the positive image of mutants. Li Yunlong couldn't figure out why Professor X came to him, so he just asked the answer directly.

Professor X: "Mr. Brooke Lee is also a mutant, right?" Now it seems that a person knows the name Brooke Lee that Li Yunlong gave himself, and he also knows that this name is fake, but everyone calls it that, and Li Yunlong doesn't care.

Li Yunlong's sensory control is brought by the X gene, "Yes, I am a mutant who has awakened the ability of mutation. ”

Professor X: "So Mr. Brooke Lee has heard of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hierarchy for mutants?"

Li Yunlong hates to go around the bend with an old fox like Professor X, because he can't play with others. However, the hierarchy mentioned by Professor X, Li Yunlong has indeed never heard Coulson mention it. Don't look at Coulson smiling all day long, people are standard smiling tigers, they can easily hide their thoughts, every time they come to see Li Yunlong, they have enough guys on him, unless Li Yunlong decides to tear his face, otherwise there is too much chance of being discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. "I have never heard of it." Could it be that there is something else to pay attention to in this hierarchy?"

Professor X took a sip of water unhurriedly, "S.H.I.E.L.D. has divided mutants into five levels according to their ability and danger level, with the lowest level of one and the highest level of five. ”

This statement is still very fresh, not according to the strength of energy, but according to the level of danger, Li Yunlong can't figure out how to divide this? "How does S.H.I.E.L.D. know whose ability is dangerous and whose ability is safe?" Assuming that both of us want to take revenge on society, then how does S.H.I.E.L.D. assess which of us is more dangerous? I believe that ordinary people will choose steel punches to be more dangerous, after all, it is obvious physical destruction, if you don't kill someone, you will be injured, you will smash cars and walls, and you don't even need tools, and the destructive power is obvious. But what if I put black on people's eyes, and if I put black on the eyes of the pilot, will the plane crash? If I cover the eyes of the bus driver, and how many people will survive in an accident? So this thing can't be judged at all!

Professor X sighed, his face heavy, "I've heard some news that S.H.I.E.L.D. intends to push for federal legislation to establish a long-term mandatory law for mutant security ratings. ”

Li Yunlong understood why Professor X's face was so ugly. If the federal government did pass such a bill, it would be tantamount to treating all mutants as criminals, or at least potential criminals. From the standpoint of mutants, this is the greatest injustice! The most obvious racial discrimination! It is the national policy to drive all the mutants into the abyss!

Li Yunlong took a deep breath and told himself to steady, don't panic! Even if what Professor X said was true, even if this kind of plan had been deliberated and approved and allowed to be implemented, he should first take the time to think about it. If you don't want to regret it every day, you have to do it!

So Li Yunlong also learned from Professor X to drink saliva unhurriedly, "Professor, you don't have to worry about it like this!"
