Old Ford sat at the mouth of the pipe, hearty laughter echoing in the confined space.
This attracted the attention of most of the mutants in the pipeline.
The last time old Ford laughed like this...... It's been so long, in this dark underground, I can't remember.
Next, the "new ability" mentioned by the old Ford naturally attracted some attention.
There's not much to do here, and listening to other people's conversations is a rare form of entertainment.
Victor realized it then.
Old Ford was ready to convince others to be the first to eat crabs.
He only provides opportunities, but does not provide other substantive help.
This is not difficult for Victor.
Before he came, he anticipated that he needed to convince others on his own, and he had prepared a set of arguments.
Clearing his throat, he raised his voice so that his words radiated through the echoes of the pipe.
"With regard to my ability, I named him 'Trade', the ability to designate a particular item as a 'commodity', which could be taken out and taken for oneself with the consent of the original owner.
And this particular 'commodity' is the ability to mutate. ”
The words are concise and clear, but extremely practical.
In the surrounding pipes, a lot of strange-shaped heads have popped up, casting complex attention such as questioning, hope, and longing at Victor, who is "talking big".
But no one was ready to step forward, they were still questioning, and they were worried about whether there were any traps.
Victor was not in a hurry, facing the eyes of old Ford watching the play, and continued to say aloud: "Maybe in the eyes of some people, this ability is too incredible.
They wonder, will there be any serious after-effects? Genetic collapse? Or is the ability just temporarily gone? Or are you trying to trick mutants into doing goddamn scientific research?
There's no need to worry about that.
After completing the transaction.
I'll be here for 24 hours to see if there will be any after-effects.
Believe me, I'm a very life-loving person and don't joke with my own life.
I've just acquired this ability, and through this ability, I've recently gained a lot of other abilities.
At the very least, this proves that I do have a way to gain access to someone else's mutant abilities. ”
Victor raised his hand, and his telekinetic hand pulled up the candle stuck to the bottom of the pipe, controlling it to levitate in front of him.
He's showing off his telekinesis.
The candlelight floating in the air was like a spark of hope, igniting the flame of hope in the hearts of a few people.
Victor naturally wanted to take advantage of the victory and chase after him.
"As for the fear that the mutant ability is only temporarily eliminated, so what? Could it be worse?
Looking at the surrounding environment, doesn't anyone want to live like a normal person?
Some may doubt my motives.
There's no need to guess, I'm just trying to collect more abilities.
As you can see, I have the ability to control things, but he didn't belong to me in the first place, you know? ”
These words made all the worries and doubts clear.
In the depths of the originally dead eyes of the surrounding mutants, a flame called hope ignited, and burned like a prairie fire.
But.
The first person to eat crabs needs courage - the courage to not be afraid of life and death.
And if there were people present who could not be afraid of life and death, they would not linger here.
They are all waiting.
Wait for someone else to be the first to go up and eat the crab, to make sure it's really delicious, harmless, and feasible, and then they will rush to pounce on it.
It's human nature.
After all, only a few people have the courage to sacrifice.
glanced at the old Ford, who was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, and he had no intention of cooperating.
This is also waiting for someone else to try the risk first.
So.
For the current impasse, Victor seems to have few options.
Either wait passively, there will always be mutants present who have more desire than patience, and the more severe the physical mutation, the more likely it is to loosen first.
Either take the initiative and let the people present have to step up.
Victor chose the latter.
He looked at old Ford, and complained as if sighing and helplessly: "Speaking of which, my ability is a little flawed..."
A beginning, immediately made people secretly rejoice in their hearts.
Oh, there's a deception in it.
“... Before coming to your base, I had been to other mutant strongholds, and there were not many of them, only 14 mutants.
Then I found out.
I can only save a maximum of ten variant abilities, and if I want to absorb the other abilities later, I need to give up one of the previous abilities before I can absorb them again.
There are two good abilities at the moment, and I plan to keep them.
Others like absorbing sunlight instead of eating, perceiving mutants in a small area, etc., I'm actually not very satisfied.
That means I have 8 more options to spare.
There are 36 mutants present, which should be filled, and if there are no better mutant abilities in the future, I will choose ......
Haha, maybe I'm thinking too much, after all, everyone is a morphological variant, and there may be a lot of repetitions. ”
Victor's words made most of the mutants present look ugly.
Along the way, there were only 3 E-levels triggered by "Dimensional Radar", and the remaining 33 were all the lowest F-ranks.
The 3 E-Class variant abilities are stable at 3 places.
There are 33 F-rank variant abilities left, and there may be only a minimum of 5 places in the competition.
So what are you waiting for?
Of course, whoever goes first counts!
One of the figures was the first to react, rushing from a position close to the entrance, and it was only when they got close to see each other's faces that they understood why he was so urgent.
No matter who puts Paige's head on it, they will not be confident that they can compete with others - no matter what their ability, but this ugliness will follow them for a lifetime.
With a limited number of places, his only use is to be the first to eat crabs - this is also the only chance he may have to turn back into a normal person.
Again.
According to Victor, he will stay here for 24 hours after that, and the credibility is still very high.
If you don't gamble at this time, will you really live in this hellish place for the rest of your life?
So.
The pig-headed man stepped forward and was the first to gallop towards Victor, but he was the furthest away.
The other dozen or so mutants were relatively weak, and although they were slow to react, they were close, and they were ahead of the pig-headed man.
This made the pig-headed man so angry that he howled angrily, and Victor almost couldn't laugh out loud.
You're a mutant, even if you're a pig-headed person, your howl shouldn't be a pig's howl, right?
The hogman's howl had no real effect.
However, a green-skinned middle-aged woman beside him spit out a big long tongue with one mouth, tying up the first few people in front of her, and then her tongue contracted, and with the help of the momentum of several people, she flew above the pipe.
The end of the arc is right in front of Victor.
Before she could smile, a figure swept out of the secondary pipe, grabbed the middle-aged woman's thigh and threw it backwards, while she kicked on the top of the pipe and quickly rushed towards Victor.
Where will a middle-aged woman be willing?
The big long tongue flicked again, the bouncing thighs were entangled, and the middle-aged woman rushed forward for a while, and both fell into the several mutants who were blocked by the long-tongued woman at the beginning, and you pulled me and entangled me into a ball.
The pig-headed man and the others who rushed in the follow-up also crashed into the crowd, trying their best to squeeze towards Victor, and then were pulled back by the people behind.
The 5-meter-diameter pipeline was so crowded that no one wanted to get close to Victor.
Who remembers that no one was willing to be the first one in the first place?
And all this change is just because of Victor's words.
What is the reason for all this?
