Chapter 474: Hunting Mutants
Wang Xu, who walked out of the conference room, stood at the door and smoked a cigarette, not worried that Stryker would refuse him.
Stryker hates mutants because his son Jason is a mutant and has the ability to create illusions and control the minds of others.
Jason's power is very strong, twenty years ago, Stryker handed him over to Professor X, the leader of mutants, who has the power of mind control, hoping that Professor X, who founded the Mutant Academy, can cure Jason's disease.
It's a pity that the mutant's superpower is not a disease, and Professor X is helpless, and several times he falls into Jason's illusion of creation, almost causing a catastrophe.
In the end, Professor X had no choice but to send Jason back.
Who knows, Jason's strength is getting stronger and stronger over time, and in his sleep, he can pull others into the illusion of his own formation.
Stryker's family was devastated, and finally Stryker's wife ended her life by suicide, leaving a suicide note saying that she had given birth to a demon and was going to heaven to repent.
From that day on, Stryker saw mutants as aliens, believing them to be a bunch of demons coming out of hell, believing that Professor X was trying to destroy his family by bringing Jason back.
So Stryker made up his mind to destroy the mutants at all costs, and in 1985, Project X was born.
According to the timeline, it is now 2005, and the plot of X-Men 1 is opened.
In this part, the contradiction between humans and mutants has not intensified, Stryker has no chance to show up at all, Wang Xu doesn't believe that he gave him the opportunity to deal with mutants, and Stryker can still be indifferent.
You must know that Stryker has fallen into an extremely crazy situation in order to eliminate mutants, and in the opening song of X-Men 2, he does not hesitate to plot mutants to assassinate the president, in order to make mutants and humans turn against each other, so that he can get the opportunity to activate.
Bang Dang!!
The iron door of the office was pushed open, and General Stryker, dressed in military uniform, walked out with a letter of appointment: "I want Hoover Base, no less than 500 Marines, 10 helicopters, 20 armored vehicles, a scientific research team composed of at least 50 scientists, and a start-up capital of no less than 50 million US dollars." ”
"I'll give you 1,000 soldiers, twenty helicopters, 100 scientists, $100 million in start-up money, and I will ask for only one, and the next time you talk to me, you will add Mr. Congressman." Under Wang Xu's gaze, Stryker was stunned for a moment, and a hideous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Hoover Dam...
The Hoover Dam in the Grand Canyon is the protagonist of many disaster movies, and it is here that the original X-weapon program unfolded in the Wolverine series.
Back at the Hoover Dam again, stroking the cold walls, Stryker felt a lot.
Thinking about how frustrated he was when the Weapon X program failed, if it weren't for the mutant threat theory, I'm afraid he would have been a colonel for the rest of his life, and he would never have become a general again.
Thinking that it was the mutants who made him, Stryker secretly vowed to use the most brutal means to thank the mutants for letting him come to power.
"My plan is to build the Hoover Dam into our base, with garrisons on the upper floors for defense, the middle floors into mutant prisons, and the lower floors into laboratories. Over the years, I've been preparing for today, never slacking off, and I have a list of mutants in my hand, not many, only 184 people, each of them is a determined mutant, and we can arrest people at any time. ”
Stryker raised his head slightly, looked at Wang Xu, who was enjoying the scenery, and said, "We are secretly arresting people, and we will never let the outside world know." ”
"That's the best, if you mess things up and someone is going to take the blame, I think that person must be you. In addition, there are more than 800 mutant criminals in the United States, and they will all be sent in three days, so remember to receive them. Wang Xu didn't look back, Stryker and even the Congress were shields for him.
Wang Xu needs a lot of mutant genes to build a more powerful alien force for him, and he doesn't want to fight the X-Men, or rather, Jean Gray, to push these shields out.
In the entire X-Men series, if there is anyone he fears, Professor X and Magneto, the two mutant leaders, are not counted, and Jean Grey is his henchman.
Fortunately, after Wang Xu's observation, the X-Men world here is just a simple X-Men movie universe, and it is not mixed with the plot of comics and Marvel.
Here, although Jean Grey is still powerful, she is not the inexplicable existence in Marvel Comics, let alone Franklin, the son of Professor X, and the Scarlet Witch, the daughter of Magneto.
Otherwise, the danger level of this world is too high, whether it is the comic version of Jean Grey, or the people in the back, they are all overlord-level existences in the universe, and the destruction of a galaxy is a raise of hand.
The movie version of the X-Men has severely weakened mutants, and although Wang Xu is afraid of Jean Grey, who cannot fully awaken, he is not afraid.
Seeing Stryker leave, Wang Xu sneered at the corner of his mouth, and pressed his hand on the headphones: "Did you find it?" ”
"We found Dr. Haller, who is currently working at the EU Genetic Laboratory, leading the genetic team to tackle genetic diseases. As for what you said about Dr. Bolívar, sorry, we got nothing. ”
Wang Xu fell silent, Dr. Haller is the developer of an anti-mutant vaccine, and the vaccine he developed can suppress the X gene, which can make mutants lose their superpowers for a long time.
Dr. Bolívar is even more powerful, he is the super scientist who developed the Sentinel Robot in X-Men Future Past.
In the movie, the sentinel robot developed by Dr. Bolívar almost wiped out the mutants, and his creativity is not weaker than that of Iron Man in the Marvel world.
"Bring Dr. Haller back." Although Wang Xu was disappointed to hear that Dr. Bolívar did not exist, he had already prepared for this.
The X-Men have several timelines, and the timeline where Dr. Bolívar is located is different from X-Men 1, and it is normal to not find this person.
Fortunately, it is not all for nothing to gain with Dr. Haller, who is the developer of a vaccine for the suppression of mutant genes, since he can develop a vaccine that inhibits the X gene from the perspective of genetics, think about it in another direction, whether it is possible to develop a drug that enhances the X gene.
Wang Xu came to him not only to develop a vaccine, but also to reverse the development of X-gene enhancement drugs, and to develop drugs that allow ordinary people to have X-genes.
If Dr. Haller can do it, it proves that he is a talent, and Wang Xu does not mind taking him to the world of iron and blood to let this genetics guru join his dream team of scientists.
Sudden Sudden Sudden Sudden ...
Wang Xu was thinking about it when two CH-47 large helicopters fell from the sky.
The CH-47 helicopter, carrying a platoon and 36 heavily armed soldiers, is the main force in the transport helicopters of Meiguo.
As the helicopter descended, two platoons of Marines quickly boarded the plane, and it was obvious that they were on a combat mission.
"Ensign, where are you going?" Wang Xu walked up and asked the officer who took the lead.
"Sir, we're on a mission to California, where there's a mutant gang with a conservative estimate of five mutants." The second lieutenant was the platoon commander of this combat squad, and after hearing Wang Xu's words, he replied with a military salute.
Wang Xu was idle and bored, and when he heard that he was going to arrest someone, he said: "I'll go with you and make room for me on the plane." ”
"Sir, isn't this decent?" The second lieutenant knew Wang Xu and knew that he was the person in charge here, for fear that Wang Xu would have an accident if he followed, and he would not be able to eat and leave at that time.
Wang Xu didn't give him a chance to defend himself, and said in a deep voice: "I am a member of Congress, the head of the Hoover base, what you need is to obey orders, second lieutenant!" ”
"Yes, sir." The second lieutenant platoon commander is not in charge of three squads, a total of 36 soldiers, but he is not a fart in front of the congressman.
What's more, Wang Xu is still the person in charge of the base, and his power is greater than that of Stryker, who is the director, and these soldiers who directly belong to the Hoover base dare to disobey his orders.
"You, go down, leave the position to the chief, and you don't have to participate in this operation." The second lieutenant should not look bad in front of Wang Xu, but in front of the soldiers, that is, a big man who kills and kills.
A soldier in camouflage uniform and carrying an assault rifle jumped off the plane with a military salute.
Wang Xu nodded with satisfaction, sat down in the soldier's position, and said, "Take off immediately!" ”
"Yes, sir." The second lieutenant shouted yes, and the two helicopters quickly lifted into the air and whizzed towards the location of California.
The hunt is about to begin.
