Chapter 185: Mutant Twilight [3/5]
The storm of large-scale "extinction" of mutants is far from stopping.
In a small town in Europe away from the hustle and bustle, there used to be a large number of mutant groups who did not want to participate in worldly strife and only preferred to keep a low profile.
After the M-Day, the town lost all mutant abilities overnight, and many people who were accustomed to or relied on mutant abilities fell into a panic.
This is not the most serious thing, the serious thing is that the people who once hated mutants and regarded them as a thorn in their side actually launched an attack, under the slogan of religion, to eliminate all the sins in the Bible and complete God's mission.
So they smashed the town, ransacked all the shops and homes, injured countless women and children who were unable to protect themselves, and finally burned the place down in order to cover up the traces of their own hands.
By the time firefighters put out the fire and the news media arrived at the scene, the once indisputable paradise was now nothing but charcoal and a mess.
The female reporter reported to the camera: "Earlier, panic was spreading, and there were robberies and arsons against mutants and even ordinary people in many parts of our country, and the authorities are doing their best to control the situation. ”
"The government has contacted the International Red Cross Society and the government's emergency services and is counting the number of victims to discuss ways to deal with the crisis and stop the situation from deteriorating further."
"Here we would like to appeal that any robbery or injury against other citizens is a serious crime, and once discovered, law enforcement agencies will deal with it seriously!"
But inevitably, there are constant cases against mutants, and even the elite organization "Hellfire Club" has been targeted by conspirators, claiming to exterminate them.
Under this extreme oppression, those mutants who have lost their ability but are still targeted, some have chosen to go to extremes - without the ability to protect themselves, but they are strapped with bombs and go to the streets.
Terrorist attacks – it's hard to tell whether it's an extremist mutant or an oppressed ex-mutant, but hostility is ignited, and revenge and vendetta are constantly staged.
Many governments have declared states of emergency, and in the United States, curfews have been imposed on major cities. At night, everyone stays at home, and the streets are filled with armed police and military.
The relevant authorities intervened strongly in the incident, raided and killed a group of gangs that wanted to take revenge on the mutants, and used blood and bullets to tell everyone, don't mess around!
……
The chaos in the outside world continues.
This liveliness is missing, but Bai Mu's participation is missing. Since waking up, his mental state has been very bad, and although the utopia is gone, his memory is still clear.
He got a lot of things there: he figured out the use of forbidden spells, he became more proficient in releasing magic, his mental power was tempered with high intensity, and he had valuable comprehensions.
Of course, the genes of infinite mana were also brought back.
According to Howl's research progress, if you want to completely crack the X gene, a few years, more than ten years is nothing, after all, this is the technology of a powerful civilization, but now it is directly completed.
Just using magic beyond the limits of mind control, on that night, he showed a complete loss of control over his power, unscrupulously borrowing the power of the Demon God, the Void, and even the Heaven.
As a result, it led to mental trauma, and at first he couldn't figure out reality and illusion, but after slowly adjusting, he realized that he was overloaded, and infinite mana did not mean infinite sobriety.
His mental strength is not enough to control everything, just like a child who has mastered nuclear weapons, but he doesn't know that this is mainly a deterrent, not a second kick and a kick.
"Damn it!" Bai Mu had a headache.
"Stop thinking nonsense." A gentle pair of hands helped him press his forehead, and Lingdie squatted down next to him, "Take it easy, and remember, you can overcome everything." ”
"Not everything." He shook his head.
"But in my eyes it's omnipotent." Lingdie has a lot of confidence in him.
Bai Mu was a little skeptical, was she in that world, and she was also a member of her fan sister's escort team? But she doesn't have any memory, she hasn't been to that world.
Because during the time they disappeared, Lingdie had been dealing with official business, training the mutant team...... "By the way, what's going on with the second team?" ”
"Most of the staff has been reduced." Lingdie sighed, the erasure still affected them, the former powerful second team, now reduced by seventy percent, have become ordinary people.
"It's already good." Bai Mu is still relatively optimistic, "There used to be millions of people, but now there are very few, and there are miracles everywhere around me." ”
"I'm blessed by your divine powers." She quipped.
"Haven't you really been to Utopia?" Bai Muzhen doubted her, "But let's recruit some more people when we go back, and we can't let the second team collapse." ”
"Hmm." Psychroe agreed.
"What about the other mutants?" Bai Mu asked her that he had lived in Utopia for more than a month, and he suddenly turned back and was a little uncomfortable.
"It's bad." Lingdie is not very optimistic, "I try to help those who are familiar, provide protection, give them direction, and let them hold together as soon as possible." ”
Things are even worse than what Butterfly said.
The number of mutants has plummeted, and the balance that had been maintained has collapsed in an instant, and those who have hatred for mutants, or fear of humans, are taking the opportunity to unleash their anger.
There weren't many of them in the past, but not everyone could be bullied, because you can't guarantee when the mutants will partner up to take revenge.
But now this pitiful number, mutants are on the verge of extinction, and the former prestige Professor X has disappeared, and although everyone has hope, they know in their hearts that he may be gone.
Magneto has been found by the ** Warriors, but he has lost his ability and has no interest in life like a lonely old man, and Wolverine is too lazy to bully him.
Her accomplice, the Demon Girl, was not affected, and the relevant departments even sent her an invitation at one point, but she refused to work for the government, and she didn't want to form a gang with others, so she planned to mix with herself.
Cyclops finally faced reality: "Life still has to go on, and we must now hold together, let go of past grievances, unite the last available strength, and find a turnaround." ”
No one knows if there will be a chance of turnaround, but there must be hope for life. LaserEye picks up the burden, and as long as it's not a mutant with bad intentions, they're welcome to join, and the school remains open.
There were also a few mutants who kept congregating here, and surprisingly, the White Queen lingered a few times at the door, and finally came in - everyone was staring at her.
"Hellfire is over." The White Queen's face could not hide her despair, "I don't want to be a thug for the government, but I got the freedom given by the government, I mean, if you ......"
"You're welcome to join." Cyclops stepped up, "No matter what happened before, it's important to work together to overcome the difficulties in front of us, we are one kind. ”
"Like." The White Queen looked at the few remaining people, "I hope that after this great flood, we can usher in a new rebirth." ”
The disaster made them let go of their preconceptions, and the surviving mutants huddled together, living cautiously, guarding against the unpredictable hearts of the outside world. They are expecting some miracle to happen, or to wake up one day and find that it was just a dream.
The wise man among them is thinking, so much power has disappeared overnight, and its energy will not disappear out of thin air. Butterfly disturbances may cause storms, the disappearance of millions of mutant abilities, and the dissipated energy cannot be without movement, so what will be the impact of its disturbances?
