Chapter 775: Controversy
Ling Xiao frowned, and asked very carefully, "Suppression, is it temporarily suppressed, or?" ”
"It's permanent." With a heavy worry on his brow, Hank McCoy followed suit, "The doctor called it the antidote." ”
As soon as Ling Xiao wanted to speak, the Storm Girl had already sneered and said, "This is ridiculous, you can't cure mutants." ”
Hank McCoy barely managed to squeeze out a smile on his face and said, "Scientifically ......"
"When did we become a disease?" Before Hank McCoy could finish speaking, the unhappy Storm Girl had already said something.
"You both have a point." Ling Xiao waved his hand, signaling the two not to quarrel, and then explained: "Mutants are actually some kind of changes in human genes, but if you want to completely remove the ability of mutants, you must carry out genetic modification, and this aspect is very difficult, and the cost is also very huge, maybe there is some medicine that can temporarily suppress the ability of mutants, but it is absolutely impossible to be forever." ”
Hank McCoy shook his head lightly and said, "They've tested it, and the subject hasn't recovered any abilities yet. ”
"They're using mutants as test subjects again!" Ling Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.
"It's voluntary." Hank McCoy quickly explained: "You also know that not every mutant can adapt to the life of having abilities, the rejection of human society, the indifference of parents, the hostility of classmates and friends, and it is normal for some people to choose to eliminate abilities. ”
"We all understand that this is more out of the government's public opinion guidance." Ling Xiao sneered, and then continued: "As for what you said so far, there is no recovery ability, it can only be said that the effect of this drug is relatively long, but the effect of the drug will always end one day, and when you use this drug again next time, drug resistance will appear, and the duration of the drug will become shorter and shorter, I still think that if you want to remove the ability of mutants, you still have to find a way from the genetic level." ”
Hank McCoy's face was very calm, and he said softly: "Maybe, but no one knows how long this drug will work, whether it will be 50 years or 100 years, and for most people, this is basically equivalent to a permanent effect!" ”
Hearing Hank McCoy say this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said: "You're right, but the expiration date of this drug still needs to be figured out, as well as his ingredients, maybe a more effective antidote can be developed on it, and this antidote, we ......."
"Ling, they're announcing it now!" Professor Charles stopped Ling Xiao, his eyes devoid of any focus.
Ling Xiao frowned, hurriedly walked to the TV on the side, turned on the TV directly, and quickly tuned to the channel of the press conference.
On an island in San Francisco Bay, a middle-aged man in his fifties was holding a press conference with an unusual number of hundreds of journalists.
“…… These mutants are human beings, and just like us, they are infected with a disease that affects healthy cellular activity. But I declare that you will have hope, that what was once the most famous prison in the world will now be a base for the liberation of mutants. As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a needle and said sincerely: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to present a solution to the variant, and we finally have an antidote to the treatment." ”
The antidote is real, and it is also effective, and the middle-aged man is also very well-known in the United States, his name is Warren Kenneth Worthington II, and he is the chairman of the famous Worthington Industries, one of the Fortune 500 companies, with a huge fortune.
As for whether to use the antidote, even within the X-Men, there is a lot of debate, and Storm Girl is the first to express her opposition, she is very dissatisfied and says: "Who wants to treat, cowards will want to blend in with the crowd!" ”
"How can saving the persecuted be considered a coward?" Hank McCoy was the first to express his dissatisfaction, he turned around, looked at Stormgirl and said, "It's not easy to blend in with the crowd, and you won't shed your hair!" ”
Hank McCoy was originally a normal human being, but his feet are a little big, his body is exceptionally strong, and his brain is also very developed, in the early years, he was not only an important combat force of the X-Men, but also a technical expert of the team, helping the professor tinker with the equipment together, and also created his own weapons, the X-Men's goose plane was invented by him, and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s butterfly plane was based on the technology of the goose plane.
Hank McCoy has a good relationship with Raven, the demon girl, in order to cure her blue skin, Hank McCoy specially developed a DNA potion, but Raven is unwilling to give up his ability, and Hank McCoy in order to persuade her, the potion he drinks.
However, as a result, instead of being dismantled, his abilities underwent a secondary mutation, and his hair grew wildly, his skin turned blue, and his whole person looked like a lion-like feline.
Unlike Wolverine and Storm Girl, even after so many years, Hank McCoy wants to return to his normal appearance, so he is very much in favor of using potions.
"It's probably government-driven." Logan also raised objections at this time, he did not object to this potion, he was worried about other problems, all this is likely to be a conspiracy led by the government department.
Ling Xiao and Professor Charles glanced at each other, both of them also had solemn faces, and the two of them had already secretly communicated about this.
In fact, in the view of Ling Xiao and Professor Charles, it does not matter whether this drug is led by the government department, the important thing is that as soon as this drug comes out, the government department immediately begins to promote it on a large scale, and their attitude is very worrying.
Anyone can imagine that once this antidote is applied on a large scale, it is conceivable that the mutants in this world will be reduced on a large scale, in this case, the resistance of the government departments will be greatly reduced, and at this time, they will force all mutants to be injected with this antidote, whether you want it or not, even if it is the X-Men, it is no exception.
Because by that time, the mutants in this world will be greatly reduced, to the point where the presence of X-Men will no longer be needed.
So in this case, those X-Men members who are unwilling to inject the antidote will definitely stand on the opposite side of the government, what the situation is, Ling Xiao and Professor Charles can imagine, this is a kind of yang conspiracy, a kind of yang conspiracy to solve all mutants.
Although Professor Charles has dedicated his life to the peaceful coexistence of humans and mutants, he is a mutant after all, and he must deal with this kind of thing that threatens the future of mutants, and he still needs to think about how to deal with it.
At this time, the argument between Hank McCoy and Logan continued, and Hank said with great certainty: "I promise that the government has nothing to do with it." ”
"I've heard that before." Logan couldn't help but sneer, is it rare for government departments to use mutants to conduct various experiments over the years, and the mutant X-Men have saved a lot of mutant children, and Colonel Stryker made Jean sacrifice for it that time.
"Listen, boy!" Hank McCoy stared at Logan and said, "I was fighting for mutant rights before you had claws. ”
Hearing Hank McCoy say this, Logan looked at Ling Xiao angrily and funny, and said, "What did he call me just now?" Brat? ”
"Alright, Logan." Ling Xiao patted Logan on the shoulder, then looked at Hank McCoy, and said: "If someone is unwilling to be a mutant, then he can go and inject the antidote and return to a normal life, but we hope that there is one condition, and the government can agree, that is, you can't do a data level for any mutant who is injected, Hank, you should understand what I mean." ”
Hank McCoy nodded, Ling Xiao was worried that this antidote did not have the expected effect, once the effect of the drug disappeared, and some people were no longer willing to use this medicine, at this time, the government department forced the door, forcibly injected the antidote, and even likely to bring these people to the experiment.
"Listen to what you're saying!" Listening to the conversation between Ling Xiao and Hank McCoy, Storm Girl was very dissatisfied and said, "Professor, they can't cure us, because we're not sick, and all mutants are not sick. ”
