Chapter 492: Illusion
"Why are you crying?"
As the least threatening and most valued mutant, Amra is free to act.
With a piece of paper in her hand, she walked out of her cell with doubts and came to the door of Logan's cell.
There are quite a few third-level mutants in the third layer, but there are not many who can talk to Amla, and Logan is the best among them.
Even Amra herself didn't know why she liked to talk to Logan, but she couldn't help but want to get closer, as if there was something on Logan's upper body that attracted her.
"We might die." Seeing the dazed Amla, Logan smiled bitterly.
As a mutant with super recovery powers, Logan always thought that death was far away from him, but now he found that death was so close.
Logan, who was vaccinated with a suppression vaccine and lost his super recovery factor, doesn't know if he will really die if his head is cut off at this time.
"Dead?"
Amra tilted his head and said strangely: "I saw you leaving with a lot of people, you stood outside the base and hugged warmly, how could you die?" ā
"What?" Logan paused for a moment, he knew that Amla had prophetic powers, and many words were not what she thought, but the projections of fate left in her mind.
Therefore, Amra does not have any combat ability, and the mutant hierarchy is not suitable for her, but she can become the most important person in Hoover Base.
Outside the base...
The wind howled, and the helicopter landed on the ground, blowing the weeds bent over.
Several heavily armed soldiers ran up, opened the hatch of the helicopter, and saluted Wang Xu, who was sitting inside: "Sir, do you want to send a jeep over?" ā
"No, I don't."
It was a few hundred meters from here to the entrance of the base, and it didn't take long to walk, so Wang Xu directly refused to go over.
"Jean, welcome to Hoover Base."
Wang Xu got out of the helicopter and stretched out his hand to Qin Gelei.
Jean Grey hesitated for a moment before putting her hand on it and stepped off the plane with graceful movements.
The Hoover base is a beautiful sight, itself located between two mountains, with the Colorado River in the front, the Hoover Reservoir in the back, and the Hoover Dam at its feet.
The dam is 220 meters high, 200 meters wide at the bottom, 377 meters long, and the front and rear ends are deep into the mountain.
Stepping on the Hoover Dam, Jean Grey looked around, and from the outside it was hard to believe that it was a military base.
In fact, the Hoover Dam is still tasked with transporting water levels upstream and downstream, with the only difference being that the engineers are all replaced by military personnel.
As for the metal door that was previously used as a symbol, the four machine-gun bunkers were destroyed by the Iceman and Koster.
When Stryker re-armed, considering that the target of the machine gun bunker was too large and not conducive to concealment, he deliberately moved the machine gun bunker to the water level observation post, so that it was more difficult to see that this was a military base from the outside.
"Hoover Dam used to be a tourist attraction, but since it was requisitioned by us, it's no longer open to tourists, and I've received hundreds of letters of complaint about it." Wang Xu walked on the dam with Jean Grey, and the two of them were followed by the little naughty ones looking around.
There was no obstacle along the way, and the helicopters that were usually parked here were now pulled into the hangar, and the armored vehicles were driven elsewhere.
Wang Xu took the two of them around twice, and soon entered the inside of the dam, which is the first layer of the soldier's life.
"This is the garrison area, where thousands of soldiers are stationed in peacetime, and it has an arsenal, an oil depot, three material warehouses, and a maintenance factory." Wang Xu is like a tour guide, introducing this place to Qin Gelei.
Jean Grey, who is not a government official and doesn't care about the soldiers who live here, asks, "What about Scott?" ā
"They're on the second floor, and I've provided them with dormitories, and although it looks a bit like a prison, I guarantee that every mutant who is held here has not been abused."
Wang Xu is telling the truth, it is absolutely not allowed to abuse prisoners here, unless they do something wrong and need to be disciplined.
So he can proudly say that there are no beatings without cause, and that the guards are not even allowed to speak to the prisoners without permission.
Under the leadership of Wang Xu, the three of them walked through the corridor and came to the mutant prison forbidden area.
It was a parking lot-like area, with cages made of iron railings on both sides of the passages.
After Dr. Haller developed an inhibition vaccine, Wang Xu locked up all mutants below level 3 here, one cell for every four people, comparable to a medium-sized prison.
"They live right here?" Seeing the mutants who looked like prisoners inside the iron railing, Jean Grey Rabbit was sad for the dead fox, and her eyes were filled with infinite sadness.
"Compared to the Ikra side, the conditions here are already very good."
Wang Xu ignored Qin Gelei's angry gaze and continued: "Originally, according to the above meaning, it was for them to live in a Chase shop for twenty people, but I fought for a long time to change them to a four-person room. You should understand that the government's policy towards mutants is not friendly, there are calls to ban the citizenship of mutants, and even some secret military laboratories are fighting their ideas, and I am under a lot of pressure. ā
Jean Grey didn't speak, she didn't expect the captured mutants to sleep in a five-star hotel, but she just couldn't accept that the mutants were locked in cages.
"Mutants are not prisoners, they are citizens of Meiguo, you can't treat them like this!"
"So what do you say, build a mutant city for them, a city-within-a-city like Chinatown? Jean, do you think this idea is possible? ā
Jean Grey stopped talking, humans are creatures that like to fight, even in the face of invasion themselves, they can still fight happily.
Unless the status of mutants can be changed, or they can be integrated into human society, the rights and interests of mutants will never be guaranteed.
"The road is tortuous, the future is bright, and the two thousand mutants living here will light up hope for the millions of mutants living on Earth. Isn't it worth the effort to curb the birth of a vaccine? If you don't have a way to change the future of mutants, why don't you try my way, and maybe I'll be right when I look back in a few decades. ā
Wang Xu's tongue bloomed and he comforted: "When the suppression vaccine is perfected, they can go home, and this time will not last long." ā
"I hope you do what you say." Qin Gelei glanced at Wang Xu deeply, as if she wanted to see through him.
Wang Xu nodded with a smile and said, "Let's go to the reception room, Scott and they are already waiting there." ā
Hearing the news of her boyfriend, Jean Grey suddenly couldn't care about others.
People are like that, even if Jean Grey cares about this mutant, but compared to Scott, the level of care is much worse.
"Can I look around?" Seeing that the two were leaving, the little naughty suddenly spoke.
Wang Xu stopped and said without looking back: "Your friends are also there, why don't you go to see them?" ā
"Okay, okay..."The little mischievous followed, and the three of them walked to the reception room together.
The reception room on the second floor is where Stryker uses for meetings, and can seat dozens of people at a time.
When Wang Xu pushed the door and walked in, Scott, the beast, the phantom cat, the storm girl, and even a few friends with a little naughty were here.
As soon as they met, Scott and Jean Grey embraced, and Naughty found his girlfriends and whispered about what had happened.
"How are you doing here?" Stroking Scott's face, Jean Grey's heart melted.
Scott was given the suppressive vaccine, and the laser eye lost its power, which was the first time he had not seen his girlfriend without sunglasses since he met Jean Gray.
Looking at the worry on his girlfriend's face, Scott grabbed her hand and said softly: "It's not bad, it's just that it hurts a little when I draw bone marrow, and I can endure it and it's over." ā
"Did they take your bone marrow?" Jean Grey rubbed her hands around her boyfriend's body, for fear that the bone marrow would be extracted too much, which would leave Scott with sequelae.
Scott let his girlfriend do the trick and comforted: "This is the rule here, everyone has to be drawn blood, bone marrow, and a few have brain cells taken." But don't worry, I'll be fine, I'll recover soon. ā
The two of them were intimately sprinkling dog food, and the beasts they ate looked at each other, not knowing whether to go up and interrupt.
Wang Xu leaned on the position of the door, smiled at the reunion, and said, "Qin, now believe in my sincerity, right?" ā
"Iā" Jean Grey's face changed suddenly, and her eyes turned golden.
Click...
There was a crisp sound of shattering glass, the surrounding scenery changed suddenly, and the smile on Wang Xu's face disappeared.
As far as the eye can see, what kind of conference room is this, it is clearly the entrance to the Hoover base.
A few steps away, Stryker was standing not far away pushing a wheelchair. In the wheelchair sat a middle-aged man with a haggard face and bleeding from seven holes.
Wang Xu's eyes froze, and he hurriedly reached out to touch his chest, and in his hand, the spiritual skin care on his chest was boiling hot.
