Chapter 37: The Truth
It turned out that there was no news from Rumei some time ago, because this goods went to Las Vegas to gamble for money, and with his superb gambling skills, he scourged casinos such as Venetian, Bellagio, Flamingo, and Mirage, and won a McDonnell Douglas 600N.
Logan and Lin Sen took Rumei's precious plane and flew towards the coastal islands in Rumei's memory, because the two had other things in mind, so they completely forgot to ask Rumei if he would fly a helicopter before getting on the plane.
As a result, the process of flying is indescribable, and what is even more devastating is that the process is not short, Lin Sen doesn't know how he survived, just when he thought he was going to die, the destination arrived.
"It's finally here, and when I escaped, I swore that I would never go back to this ghost place, but I didn't expect that I would break my promise!" Looking at the island below, Rumei sighed, obviously thinking of the days when she was an experiment.
"Whew~ It's finally here!" Logan and Lin Sen also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't have to worry about falling to their deaths.
"I'm not going, I'll wait for you on the plane, and if you don't come back before dark, I'll go, good luck!" Moments later, the McDonnell Douglas 600N landed in an unconventional way, and Rumei smiled heartlessly.
Lin Sen took out the short knife and said weakly: "Don't worry, if it goes well, I will invite you to eat authentic Chinese food." β
"Chinese food?" Lu Mei was stunned for a moment and shouted, "I haven't eaten Chinese food yet, so don't die." β
β¦β¦β¦
At the same time, in the experimental base, a middle-aged man in a white coat with a slight gray hair was watching the progress of the experiment on the test bench with an anxious face.
"Hurry up, how long will this renovation take!" The man's tone was impatient, and he was already on the verge of going berserk.
"Colonel Stryker, it's already going fast!"
Hearing this, Stryker estimated that the military had just received news that General Monson would be coming, and before that, he had already received an ultimatum from the other side: to terminate the experiments on mutants and the "Weapon X program".
Although he has reached a cooperation with the Hand Association, if he loses the support of the military, he will easily be approached by some mutants to seek revenge, such as the Mutant Brotherhood led by Magneto, so he will have to live in hiding in Tibet, so he still wants to try again.
This time his chip was another experiment, Wade Wilson, who, like Logan, had previously been a member of the mutant squad, a mutant who could play with two knives to the core.
In order to transform Wade Wilson, Stryker also designed a trap for Logan to gain access to his self-healing abilities, which are even more powerful than Victor's.
As an experiment on "Weapon X", Wade Wilson, like Logan, voluntarily accepted the transformation, because he had a terminal illness, and in desperation, he had to agree to Stryker's transformation of himself, because Stryker told him that after the transformation was completed, he would gain a self-healing ability that would allow his body to return to health.
Originally, the transformation was already very successful, and Wade even gained a stronger self-healing ability than Logan, but he was not satisfied at all, and strongly demanded to change back, and fought with Stryker for this.
The reason is that these abilities and cancer cells are mutually exclusive, causing his body to be full of scars, and even his face is pitted, which is not a question of ugliness at all, this looks completely like a monster, not to mention that Wade is still a person who pays great attention to his appearance!
For this reason, Wade, who felt that he had nothing to love, wanted to break himself many times, but he didn't expect that the self-healing ability after the experiment was too strong, and he couldn't die no matter how he died.
Over time, Wade became obsessed with the strange act of suicide, and he wanted to do it at every turn, and finally Stryker was annoyed and directly let Jason control him.
Jason is Stryker's son, but this is the same son who killed Stryker's beloved wife on the day he returned from Xavier's gifted school, and it was then that Stryker developed a strong hatred for mutants and began his own path to becoming an X-Men sworn enemy.
Jason's ability is to create illusions out of thin air, affecting people's perception, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling people, and the controlled people do not only act according to orders, they also have thoughts, but their cognition has been modified, so such people are also better to use.
So Stryker first transformed his son into Mutant 143, and then used Jason to achieve the goal of controlling other mutants.
But I didn't expect Wade's mental power to be so strong after being transformed, and every time he added a mutant ability, his mental power was one point stronger, so after Jason controlled him, he could only control three more mutants at most, that is, the three people who fought with Lin Sen and them last time.
At the end of the experiment, Stryker's men panicked in and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Really?"
"Yes, just two people."
"Just right, it can be used as a test for this experiment."
Lin Sen and Logan didn't know that their actions had been exposed, and the two of them had already walked to a gloomy room with more than twenty specially made cages, and the people in these cages quickly caught their attention.
Some have lava-like skin, some create a blizzard in their cages, some have some animal features, and some have butterfly-like wings on their backs, but most of them are lying in cages dying, and the only normal thing is a man with white stripes on his eyes.
Everyone's eyes were so empty and desperate, even if they found the new two people, there was no fluctuation on everyone's faces, they had long been numb.
Lin Sen's face was a little ugly, and he forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and he lowered his voice, "Logan, these are all mutants?" β
"Yes!" All of a sudden, the lights in the room were turned on, and not far ahead, there were four people standing, "You guessed it! β
"Is that you?" Among the four people, except for an alpha-class mutant and the mutant who could throw bone spurs that he met in the last fight, there was only one man and one woman that Lin Sen didn't know, and he looked at the middle-aged man in a white coat in the middle, "You're Stryker!" β
The middle-aged man didn't speak, but asked Rogan with a smile like the grandfather next door: "Logan, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your current state doesn't look very good." β
Lin Sen felt that Logan had behaved strangely after turning on the light, and Logan, who should have roared angrily and flashed his claws and rushed forward at this time, was silent, and he looked at the black-haired woman beside Stryker again.
"Who are you!?" Logan's expression was like that of a panicked fawn, and he even looked at the woman with a hint of begging in his tone.
"Don't overthink it, Logan, you're right, she's Kaeya!" Stryth ruthlessly shattered Logan's thoughts and laid a brutal truth before him.
And Stryker obviously didn't want to let Logan go like that, and he smiled even brighter, "Want to know how Kaeya died?" Kaeya, tell you about that dear Logan. β
"They injected me with HCP, it would lower my heartbeat and make you think I was dead!" Hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed in the black-haired woman's eyes, but after seeing Stryker's fierce eyes, she finally spoke expressionlessly.
"You know what? Logan, Kaeya is actually a mutant who has the ability to contact other people to control their minds, and while this ability is not useful in combat, I have found that it works well against you. β
Hearing this, Logan, who thought that Kaia was only being used, found out that this conspiracy had been laid out since a few years ago, and the lover who had lived with him for several years turned out to be sent by Stryker to spy on him.
For a long time, a flash of realization flashed in Logan's eyes, and then he wanted to take out a cigar from his arms, but he lit it several times and didn't light it, it turned out that he had always been the one who was kept in the dark, and walked step by step like a fool according to the routine designed by the other party.
He didn't scream like he had done before, and he didn't know what kind of expression he had to make. Abandoned? That was meant to be a bureau. Deceived? In the end, I was a little too stupid. He felt like he was in the wrong place if he yelled, and he just wanted to know one reason, "Why?" β
In Lin Sen's view, Logan's state at this time is like a wounded lone wolf, licking his wounds alone, and the calm surface hides a sadness that is more sad than his heart is dead.
The black-haired woman looked at Logan's appearance, opened her mouth and seemed to think of something, and finally closed her mouth, leaving Stryker to say with a fanatical face: "Haha, do you remember BolΓvar Trasco's Sentinel Project, although his plan was terminated, but I found another way, a method that allows various mutant abilities to exist in the human body, and the premise of this method is the near-immortal self-healing ability in your body." β
"So, for the sake of these mutant abilities, you keep hunting mutants for experiments to get their experiments?" Although Lin Sen knew this plot, he couldn't help but want to split the guy in front of him when he saw the miserable state of the mutant in the cage just now.
"Mutant 'people'? They are not people, they are heretics, they are demons, they are not supposed to exist in this world! Stryker laughed in a frenzy.
"Huh, huh?" Logan was already disheartened, and after knowing the truth, he didn't want to stay longer for a moment, he opened his mouth to Lin Sen: "Let's go." β
"Let's go?" Stryker looked at Lin Sen deadly, "You can go, I've got your abilities anyway, but your friends can't go!" I also need his ability to teleport. β
