Chapter Ninety-Six: Code Name X, Task Force

"Victor, guess how long your brother can hold out?"

A big, burly man asked.

His name is Fred, and his code name is "Meatball".

He has infinite strength and amazing physical defense, and once tried to punch back a cannonball fired by a tank.

Usually, in addition to the saber-toothed tiger Victor, this guy is also one of the sparring partners.

Mainly responsible for taking beatings and practicing boxing for Luke.

Jimmy's words...... Twenty minutes. ”

Sabertooth Tiger Victor clasped his hands to his chest, and this was his first result.

was violently output by that devilish major general for twenty minutes, and the whole person was almost squeezed dry.

When I walked out of the training room, my legs were limp, as if I had collapsed.

"I think he can last a little bit longer than you."

A Mexican man laughed.

His name was John, and his code name was "Ghost".

It has the same teleportation ability as the Red Devil, but the range is much smaller than that of the opponent.

"I think so too."

The last person to speak was a young girl named Kayla, codenamed "Silver Fox", who was able to control other people's minds through physical contact.

These mutants are the suitable recruits that S.H.I.E.L.D. has found recently.

All of them have revealed their identities at one point, so they can be easily discovered by agents.

Due to Luke's S.H.I.E.L.D., the attitude towards mutants is not as rough as that of Bolívar Teslac, or William Stryker.

He prefers to use Huairou tactics to package himself as a kind person - unless he is facing a grumpy brother, then he can do it and never talk nonsense.

That's it!

Therefore, these mutants with special abilities who are favored by S.H.I.E.L.D. did not resist too much and completed the recruitment smoothly.

Of course, this also has something to do with Bolívar's acquisition by Luke.

The mutants of the twentieth century encountered two crises, one was used by Bolívar as material for the study of sentinel robots, and was captured on a large scale;

The second is the research that Stryker used as a "weapon X" program, which was also subjected to large-scale persecution and massacre.

Mutants who have not yet been educated by capitalist society have not reached the level of extreme hostility towards humanity and the military for the time being.

Victor the saber-toothed tiger was silent, he didn't think his brother could be stronger than himself.

When it comes to killing people and fighting, it's obvious that you are better.

"Phew, Victor, your brother is such a stubborn fellow."

The warm-up time was over, and Luke walked out of the training room with a satisfied expression.

Sabertooth Victor glanced at the time, thirty-four minutes.

"Damn, losing to that weak guy Jimmy!"

As an elder brother, the saber-toothed tiger was a little unhappy, and took the initiative to apply to be beaten, "General, do you want to continue?" I could have lasted much longer! ”

Luke, who is refreshed and venting, has a strange face, what's going on?

Addicted to being beaten?

"You've been a sparring partner for a week, Victor, are you sure you want to continue?"

Luke asked.

"Yes! It's an honor to be able to fight you, General! ”

Sabertooth Tiger Victor nodded, how could he lose to that guy Jimmy.

You have to prove yourself!

It doesn't matter if you get beaten!

Luke raised an eyebrow, wondering if the saber-toothed tiger had been brain-broken by him.

Considering that the other party was very active, Mr. Major General, who had just completed the warm-up, was not easy to refuse directly.

"Alright then, I hope you can improve."

Luke turned and walked into the training room, and Victor the Sabertooth Tiger eagerly followed.

Cracking sound!

Thundered!

The loud sound penetrates the soundproofed training room and is transmitted outside.

The rest of the people looked at each other, and Fred "Meat Ball" closed his eyes, revealing a little sympathy.

Having served as a sandbag a few times, he can imagine the tragic fate of the saber-toothed tiger.

After forty minutes, the exercise ends.

Luke was in good spirits and strode out.

Being able to exert fifty percent of his strength is not bad for the mutant brothers.

Anyway, as long as it wasn't a fatal injury like cutting off the head and crushing the heart, they could heal it very quickly.

"Alright, the workout is over."

Luke clapped his palms, ignored the saber-toothed tiger and Wolverine lying inside, cleared his throat and said, "Get to know each other, my name is Luke, Luke Cavill, you should all have heard this name." In the days to come, you can call me sir, or general. ”

The free-spirited, separated mutants stood together and listened carefully to the young major general's lecture.

After they were recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D., they heard a lot about Luke.

The other party is originally a celebrity, and titles such as war hero and superman are like a bright halo, extremely dazzling.

Coupled with the identity of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and his unusually strong personal strength, people can't afford to provoke at all.

After all, not every mutant is as irascible as Victor the saber-toothed tiger.

"The existence of mutants is no secret to S.H.I.E.L.D."

As Luke spoke, he redeemed a Constantine's "Flicker Expert" skill card.

"There may be a lot of people who think you're freaks and outliers, but that's not the case. Mutants are just one branch of humanity's evolutionary path, and you are no different from us. ”

"Genetic evolution has given you special abilities, not to hide, or to escape—it's your birthright calling!"

"Joining the military, serving the country, and giving full play to the power you have, this is the future of mutants!"

“……”

Zakang's ability to fool, coupled with Luke's chicken soup for the soul, easily made the young mutants enthusiastic and emotional.

Compared with Sebastian Shaw's extreme theory of rebellion against human tyranny and that the world belongs to mutants, Mr. Major General's speech is more moving.

However, the latter did not overemphasize allegiance to the country, but put S.H.I.E.L.D. and himself in a more important position.

"General, will we be pulled to slice by Dr. Teslak?"

Big Fred asked.

Every mutant will have such concerns.

"Why slice? You are all treasured assets of S.H.I.E.L.D., training, cultivating, daily consumption...... These costs are almost as much as several bombers. ”

Luke seemed to think it was ridiculous, and asked rhetorically, "Did I spend so much money just to get you on the dissection table?" ”

Fred scratched his head and smiled.

Mr. Major General's answer made him feel relieved, and he also had a sense of belonging to S.H.I.E.L.D.

"General, are we still free?"

Kayla, a young girl, raised her hand like a student and asked.

"I'm sorry, no."

Luke shook his head.

"You can go out and have a regular vacation, even if it's around the world. But you also belong to S.H.I.E.L.D., from your will to your body. ”

"Guys, the federal government doesn't have a unified view of mutants, and some people think you're freaks and ticking time bombs."

"S.H.I.E.L.D. protects you from trouble, and in return."

"Obey orders and never betray until retirement. That's the price. ”

Luke didn't take a mild tone.

Be hard when it's hard, be soft when it's soft, and grab it with both hands!

This is an essential quality of a leader.

"Understood, General."

Kayla silently lowered her hand.

Luke gave the young girl an extra look, not because she was pretty.

According to S.H.I.E.L.D., the other party has an older sister named Emma Frost, who is the "White Queen" of the Hellfire Club.

The sisters are similar to the saber-toothed tiger and Wolverine, and both have similar psychic abilities.

"Starting today, you are being assigned to Task Force codenamed 'X'."

Luke said solemnly.

"The only mission is to search and track down a secret organization called the Hellfire Club."
