Chapter XXIV Voting

The scientific researchers looked at Li Ang, who was as light as a stroll in the suburbs, and said bitterly: "I knew that I would be liquidated one day, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." ”

"When you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back." Li Ang spread his hands and said, "It seems that you are the leader of this military base?" ”

"Not about the leadership." The researcher shook his head and said, "I'm just responsible for proposing the experimental plan and leading the research team to overcome the difficulties." ”

As the words "experimental plan" blurted out, the group of mutants immediately became excited, and the researchers were very familiar with the expressions on the faces of those mutant children.

Unforgettable hatred.

Li Ang raised a palm, and the noise behind him immediately dissipated, he looked at the scientific researcher wearing the same white coat as himself, and said with a smile: "Do you have a child?" ”

"Yes." The researcher nodded and said, "They're the same age as these mutant children. ”

"Are you religious?"

"Yes, my family is devout Christian, and before I came to this military base to preside over the project, I would accompany my wife to church every Sunday for worship services." The researcher replied.

Leon whistled and said with a smile: "It's funny, a standard American middle-class man, with scientific literacy, pious beliefs, a happy family, and a decent job, can very calmly conduct human experiments on ordinary children who are also American citizens. ”

"I don't have a choice," the researcher shook his head bitterly and whispered, "There's always something that needs to be done, isn't it?" ”

"It is true that scientific research has a price, and this price itself has nothing to do with good or evil, and has nothing to do with positions." Li Ang said noncommittally and indifferently: "However, a high-level creature like a human being has good and evil, and has a position. People will be sad because of the crying of children, they will be pained by the wailing of their fellow citizens, and they will be left with tears because the softness of their hearts is suddenly touched.

If there is no way to maintain empathy for the suffering of the innocent and innocent, such an existence is not worthy of being called a human being. ”

The scientist pursed his lips, and the sound of hurried footsteps from military boots trampling the concrete floor could be heard faintly in the hallway.

The security system in the military base is finally working slowly but firmly.

In order to prevent the mutants who were used as experimental materials to riot, the soldiers in the base are all professionally trained, and the weapons in their hands are not all ordinary power gunpowder, and some are tasers with electric shock effects, and tranquilizer guns filled with fast-acting stun drugs.

Mutants have a variety of special abilities, but most of them can't withstand bullets.

Once intimidated by the firepower of firearms, these untrained Adepts will fall into a panic of helplessness and eventually be captured by the outnumbered ordinary soldiers.

A small group of human soldiers barricaded the doorway to the office, three stun bombs were dropped, and the steel shell was rolled to the ground.

Magneto lowered his head slightly and glanced at the detonator.

The majestic magnetic field turned abruptly, and the metal parts in the stun bomb were rapidly twisted and deformed, breaking the chain reaction before the gunpowder was activated.

Magneto levitated, and he floated out of the office, standing alone in the narrow hallway.

The human soldier did not hesitate to fire, the bullet spinning out of the rifling and cutting through the air in a straight line.

Magneto stretched out his palm without a hint of fireworks.

The bullets froze, and the copper shells in mid-air stood still as if they had frozen, sporadically in front of Magneto.

Tasers with wires are useless, as are anesthetic needles with needles as tips.

"You're too weak."

Magneto whispered, almost muttering, and the magnetically driven shells slowly reversed direction, their round bullets staring at the soldiers at the end of the hallway.

The near-miraculous scene undoubtedly shredded the human soldier's desire to resist, and mutants of this rank were beyond their reach.

So, run for your life.

Military boots scraped against the concrete floor, and the faces of these human soldiers were covered with a look called "Horror".

"Run apart!"

The soldiers roared and fled in all directions through the underground passages.

Heavy breathing echoed through the tunnels, and at the same time, the sound of even larger military boots was coming.

Magneto didn't catch up, he decided to let the bullets fly for a while.

A total of 100 bullet warheads began to move forward very slowly under the control of the magnetic field, with an acceleration of 10 m/s.

In the office, Li Ang was not disturbed by the noise outside in the slightest, and still asked lightly: "Is there a backup of all the experimental records of the X weapon program?" ”

"Yes, it's in the safe upstairs." The researcher lowered his eyes and whispered, "I don't know who you are, but no matter how powerful the mutant forces stand behind you, it's impossible to oppose the federal government." ”

"Well, you're mistaken." Leon pointed to the X-Men and Brotherhood members standing behind him, and said nonchalantly, "They're not my backers, on the other hand, I'm their current boss - although it's quite dark humorous that I'm not a mutant myself." ”

The researcher smiled miserably, shook his head, and said, "Okay, even if you can unify the mutant forces, what can you do?" The history buried in this underground base is too dirty and too dark. The magnates, organizations, and forces involved are unknown.

It's like a scar that has completely rotted and grown, but is crucial.

No one wants to unravel this layer of dry blood scabs and expose the wound to the air.

Anyone who wants to reveal the truth will be hit like thunder. ”

"To be honest, I hear this kind of threat that makes my ears callous." Leon smiled and said, "But for now, I'm still alive and sound." ”

The researcher was silent for a moment, then raised his head sharply and said hoarsely, "I don't want to die." ”

"Nobody wants to die." Leon smiled: "I'm not the kind of murderer who likes to take away other people's lives, how about leaving your life to these mutant children?" ”

He turned around and said to the mutant children who had been imprisoned for many years, "All right, children, whoever wants him to die, please raise your hand." ”

In silence, a pair of arms were raised in the air.

The researcher shuddered and leaned most of his body against the wall.

The vote ended, fifty-five to zero.

Magneto floated back to his office, a ball of blood-stained bullets in his palm, floating toward the scientists.

"General William Stryker, it should be in the basement at the bottom by now."

The scientist, who couldn't even name him, had already seen his end, and he stood up, his eyes full of indifference, "You have to deal with not only ordinary soldiers, but also biochemical weapons that I have carefully developed.....

"I'm looking forward to it." Leon said with a smile.

Countless bullets grazed his side and scurried forward.
