15. Wake up

Most mutants' abilities will not change in essence from the beginning of awakening, except for a small number of people who have grasped the essence of their abilities and can make it stronger through learning or practice, most mutants will not have much change in their abilities throughout their lives.

In other words, maintaining the status quo is a manifestation of the extreme majority of the mutant community, after all, most mutants can live a good life with their abilities, and this person, once the minimum expectations of life are met, unless something happens to prompt him to change, he is likely to continue doing nothing.

But frankly, the vast majority of mutants don't make good use of their abilities, and to put it bluntly, they're just wasting their talents.

Ordinary people don't want to see them, not only because they are outliers, but also because this is a confused race, just relying on Magneto or Professor Charles, there is no way to change the future of this race, they are like nomads living in modern society, without their own culture, without their own heritage, let alone their own spiritual sustenance, and do not know where the future is, so they are very easy to go down the wrong path, like an unstable bomb hidden under society.

They are indeed stronger than the average person, but to be honest, they are also a pathetic bunch.

"He looks so miserable..."

Professor Charles looked at the charred black Cyber in front of him, as miserable as a chicken that had just been dug out of the fire, and more than a dozen tubes used to transport various drugs were connected to his body, looking like an evil experiment by an evil scientist.

The creature wrapped in a layer of black ash didn't have the slightest heaving in his chest, and he didn't breathe, and if it were another person, he would probably be declared dead.

But the professor was different, he saw the still active soul beneath the silent body.

He couldn't help but shake his head and said with emotion,

"Sometimes I am really amazed at the wonder of the Creator, who always favors some people... Beneath this still alive body, the mental activity is unusually active, oh, and it is still intensifying, and it seems that our new friend is about to wake up. ”

Standing on the other side, Jean was holding an instrument similar to a mobile phone, observing the beating of the numbers on it, after entering the working state, the beautiful woman became more focused, and after a few seconds, she put down the instrument in her hand, and said to her mentor while looking at the silent Cyber,

"The cells are at least 70% more active than when they were first delivered last night, and they are dividing rapidly to repair his shattered body, and I actually suspect that this repair started from the moment of the explosion, and it was only because we provided him with enough nutrients that this cell-level repair was the fastest. ”

Jean frowned, as if thinking about an intractable problem, she looked up at her mentor,

"Teacher, have you ever seen such a similar ability in the past?"

She stretched out her finger and swiped it lightly on Cyber's charred arm, and a piece of black substance was detained, revealing the delicate skin inside, like a new life,

"Being able to repair his body at a rate close to A-level self-healing, and being able to absorb 100% of any nutrients, it can be converted into energy for the body's actions at an extremely fast rate, and if the information we get is correct, when he was in Gotham, his self-healing ability should only be the lowest elementary, close to C-level self-healing, there is no doubt that this transformation is not normal. ”

Professor Charles closed his eyes, searched through the vast sea of memories, and finally, he whispered,

"Cyber reminds me of a friend from 40 years ago named Charles Darwin... His ability is to adapt, I call it survival of the fittest, to be able to quickly adapt to any environment, and let his body achieve the most perfect integration with the environment, he enters the water, gills will grow on his body, touch the flame with his hands, there will be scales in the palms of his hands, although the form of expression is different, but if I guess correctly, this abnormal self-healing is the same as Darwin's survival of the fittest, it is a manifestation of the body's instinct to protect the existence of the individual. ”

"It's an ability we haven't seen, so we can't infer it from common sense. ”

His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the wheelchair, and after a few moments, he opened his eyes,

"Jean, inject the paralyzing toxin into Cyber!"

"What?"

Grey Jean's eyes widened, "In this case, if his senses and circulatory system are paralyzed, he will probably die!"

"I'm not trying to kill him, my disciple. ”

Professor Charles looked at Cyber with an inquiring glint in his eyes, and he said gently, "I'm just going to prove my guesses, let's inject them, keep an eye on the manifestations of those toxins, and inject him with an antidote if there is any problem." ”

"Well, if you insist. ”

Reluctantly, Jean took out two syringes containing liquid from the intricate workbench next to her, and then injected one into Cyber's body as Professor Charles watched.

1 minute later... No response!

Jean looked at the instrument in his hand and whispered to report on Cyber's physical condition,

"The toxin is spreading in the bloodstream, reaching its maximum concentration after about one and a half minutes... I'm always ready to inject him with an antidote. ”

"Click"

As soon as her words fell, a low voice appeared on the steel hospital bed in front of her, and she jerked her head up to see the trembling of her charred body, which was an instinctive trembling.

The instrument in her hand also sounded the alarm,

"The toxin was infecting his circulatory system, and he felt... Rejection is maximum!"

With the sound of Jean, Cyber's body trembled more rapidly, reaching a level that could be called "struggle", and the steel hospital bed kept colliding, making a continuous crisp sound, Professor Charles's gaze became deep, Jean waved his hand, and the antidote that had been put aside floated to her other hand.

This kind of "telekinesis" that seems to be unusually windy is the prerogative of the psychic power manipulator, and Professor X can easily do it, and there is a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"His cell activity is declining rapidly, and the rate of self-healing is slowing down... No, I'm going to inject him with an antidote!"

After saying that, Jean was about to stab the syringe down, but at the same time, Professor Charles suddenly spoke,

"Wait... I could feel it, he was dealing with the toxins in his own way. ”

Jean's eyes fell on the instrument in her hand, her expression became very strange, and her speech became stammering.

"It's... Unbelievable... The concentration of the paralyzing toxin, diffusing to the maximum, is disappearing?"

She looked up at her mentor,

"What did he do?"

Charles stretched out his fingers and rubbed them lightly on his forehead, he was probably organizing the words, and after a few seconds, he slowly spoke,

"He didn't do anything, he just..."ate" the toxins. ”

This judgment plunged the two people present into an indescribable silence, and a moment later, Professor Charles's wheelchair rolled slightly, and he stretched out his hand and put it on the forehead of Cyber, who was still unconscious, and he looked up at the piano with a serious expression,

"I think I know why Cyber survived the explosion... Jean, everything that happened today should be kept secret, you know?"

"Hmm"

Jean put down the syringe in her hand, she also had a faint guess about Cyber's ability, mutants' abilities determine their status in this group, such as Professor X and Magneto, who are out-and-out natural commanders in mutant society, and now, Jean looked at Cyber in his eyes, there was a faint hint of... Jealousy, of course, is not motivated by malice, but by resentment at the Creator's preference.

"Click, click"

At the moment when Professor Charles's hand was released from Cyber's forehead, a slight cracking sound continued to come from Cyber's body, which attracted the attention of two people, and the layer of charred black "skin" condensed outside the body, like a cracked eggshell, under the internal restless force, quickly cracked, and then spread rapidly, and soon, this layer of "armor" wrapped around Cyber appeared cracked.

Two seconds later, the open palm cut through the shell and appeared in the air, followed by another hand, his two hands covering his face like people suffocating in water, and then pulling outward, under the black shell, Cyber slowly opened his eyes.

He breathed heavily, his body rose and fell, really like a person recovering from suffocation, he turned his head slightly, looked at Gray Jean who was standing at the head of the bed, looking at him with a special look, his consciousness was still a little chaotic, it took him several seconds to realize his current situation, and then his gaze followed Jean's body all the way down, and finally, he grinned,

"I'm sorry, I slept too hard, but beauty, were you poking me with a needle just now?"

Jean didn't answer, and the greeting from Cyber's awakening wasn't too friendly, but Cyber didn't need her answer, he shook his arms and tried to sit up from the hospital bed, but when he withdrew his hands on the side of the bed, not only him, but also Professor Charles and Jean's eyes widened.

There, beside the bed of the hospital bed made of steel, there were two clear palm prints, and Cyber was also stunned, he put his hands in front of his eyes, still the familiar hands, he didn't feel any change except that his skin was getting better, but what was the power of this foul?

He turned his head to look at Jean and Professor X, who was sitting on the side, he turned over and jumped off the hospital bed, but he still knew that he was a fruit now, and there were women at the scene, so he simply wrapped the white sheet around his waist indiscriminately, then took a deep breath, raised his fist, and smashed it into the hospital bed in front of him.

"Bang"

A clear fist mark appeared on the surface of the steel, and he felt a trace of pain, but not unbearable, as if even the bones inside had become stronger.

And the most peculiar thing is that after having such power, he does not have a trace of discomfort, and the power of releasing Buddha is engraved in the bones, engraved in the deepest part of the body, and releasing Buddha is originally his power.

But no!

Cyber knew exactly what he was supposed to look like, and the fist print in front of him reminded him that after he detonated the two grenades while holding Victor, some changes appeared, I don't know if it was good or bad, but in short, he was not the same as before.

Cyber hates this feeling!

His mental fluctuations were easily sensed by Professor Charles, his wheelchair turned slightly, facing Cyber, and slowly moving forward, he stretched out his hand towards Cyber,

"Kid, it seems that there is a slight change in your body, but it doesn't matter, in the history of mutants, this change is generally harmless, do you have to do a full-body test?"

Cyber breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the palm that stretched out in front of his eyes, he looked up at the kind old man in front of him, and asked a little coldly,

"Who are you?"

"Cyber, didn't you come to New York to find me?"

The professor wasn't angry at Cyber's coldness, he laughed and introduced himself, "This is Xavier's Gifted Junior Academy, and I, Charles Francis Xavier, would you like to talk to me?"

The two hands were clasped together, and the wariness in Cyber's eyes was still there, and he glanced at his other clenched fist, and muttered to himself,

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Professor, and I'd love to talk to you, because right now, I really have a lot of questions for you..."
