Chapter XXVIII
Glenn Canyon Dam.
Just look at the name, it's a dam! The big kind!
First of all, it is 216 meters high
Well, the height of more than 200 meters doesn't sound very intimidating, after all, it's really not that long, a long-term cat at home kidney deficiency otaku running for more than 1 minute is enough, and if you add a wild dog in the back, he may run into 30 seconds.
But if you really stand under this dam and take a look, then you can definitely feel how majestic it is, and you can say responsibly that it can take you out of the urine if you catch the flood.
The dam is located in the southwestern part of the United States, a perennial arid, loess sky, no crops, and no ore, so it has always been sparsely populated, and in 2049, after the war, it has become a no-man's land.
However, it is precisely because of the inhabitation of this place that there was no damage to this place during the war.
In this way, the Glenn Canyon Dam is still open every day and repaired on time, as it has been for a century in the past.
yes, it's still working, and it's still repaired on time!
This is just so abnormal.
There are no people around anymore, so why repair this broken dam, even if it bursts immediately, a flash flood erupts, and the water floods all over the field
So, the Glen Canyon Dam is certainly not as simple as it seems
So what secrets does it hide?
Well, it's not a secret, a discerning person can see it at a glance.
On both sides of the dam are a raging waterfall with a drop of several hundred meters, and on the other side is the turbulent Colorado River.
Yes, it's a prison.
【Whitewater Prison】
Now the largest, safest, and only prison in the world.
Due to the existence of Bill X, it is difficult to have such a thing as 'criminals' in this world, so there are not many people imprisoned here. They can be broadly divided into 4 categories.
The first group of people are those who have learned the true face of Bill X.
There are very few of them, but there are a few of them every year, and most of them are students with very smart brains, but not smart enough, journalists, or private investigators.
They inadvertently discovered some signs hidden in the dark side of society, and then relied on their own cleverness to find out the melons, and then came into contact with the truth a little, just when they felt that they were going to expose a big conspiracy like the savior in it, they were arrested on time.
This person often has no backstage, let alone any money, only a heart of enthusiasm and unrealistic fantasies full of resentment.
So most of what awaits them is to be re-brainwashed, or simply secretly executed. So this type of people, which is only a small part of the population, disappear within a few days of coming in
Then the second group of people are those who have to be imprisoned here. There aren't many of them, and most of them have to be imprisoned because of their ability type or for some reason.
For example, there is a person, his ability is 'unlucky' to crash wherever he goes, touch what leakage, perennial high-altitude falling objects, thunder and slash, and he has no way to turn off this ability, such a person, if you let him walk around on the street, the daily mess can't be dealt with behind his ass, so, before this guy caused some kind of earthquake collapse meteor smashed his head and other big mess, the government decided to quickly lock him up and lock him up!
The third type of person is the strong man who will appear in many movies!
In Whitewater Prison, there are many Level 5 mutants who do not obey the government's control, and they don't want to work against the government, they just don't want to be tools for the government.
As the name suggests, these people basically have very powerful abilities, and some can directly exert the super power to destroy a city, these guys, you put them in society, and I'm afraid that they will do things, lock them up, it's too hard, it's a pity to kill them, after all, maybe they will be used in the future.
So for this kind of people, the government's attitude is to keep them.
Yes, it's not a prison, it's captivity, it's good food and drink every day, you can play games if you want, you can read comics if you want to, if you want to read comics, if you have any special hobbies, as long as it's not too perverted, it's basically satisfied, not to mention going to school. Anyway, as long as you stay here honestly, then you can live a good life every day!
Of course, if you don't have a face, then you will soon be able to equate yourself with the first type of people mentioned above.
And the last fourth category is the real criminals.
And the criminals here are either mad madmen, or they belong to the kind of neurosis who can't tell whether the thing in front of them is a human or a dog, and there are very few people in this category, anyway, if they come in, they will be shot, so I won't repeat it here.
So after introducing this [Whitewater Prison], you may have a question.
Those low-level mutants who are not protected by Bill X are understandable, but why does it sound like a level 5 mutant here can be shot casually if they are not obedient?
Moreover, this is just a dam, and if you put together so many level 5 and level 4 people, if they are unhappy that day, they can tear this place down with one punch
Well, that's a good question, and while this dam is made entirely of reinforced concrete, in the eyes of level 4 or 5 mutants, they're still too fragile to break out of prison at any time.
But over the years, no one here has ever managed to escape from prison, and those level 5 mutants who waved their hands bloody were no exception. Anyone who is here is very honest
[Whitewater Prison] can be used as a prison for mutants, and it naturally has its own unique place.
That is
Because every mutant ability that enters here will be wiped out.
Yes, just erase them all, even if you're a level 5 mutant and come here, you're just an ordinary prisoner. Moreover, this ability elimination is mandatory, no injections, no pills, as long as you get close to here, your ability will naturally leave you.
This is why the X-Men have been unable to capture this place for so many years
