Chapter 245: Inhumans (Part 2)
The war is over, but the shadow has not gone away. Or that the shadows never go away. During the battle period, the military was the absolute protagonist. But once the war is over, politicians become talkers.
They don't want to be tough like the military, but use negotiation and compromise to achieve their goals. Politicians are fundamentally different from politicians. Politicians know that war is a continuation of politics, and they think about the big picture. Politicians, on the other hand, see war as a way to get promoted, and they think about the individual.
The hydra was exterminated. But his vast legacy has become the focus of contention among various departments. You must know that Hydra at that time could be said to be ahead of the world in technology. And Schmidt is obsessed with all kinds of supernatural things, and his collection also has a large number of unspeakable objects.
After the Captain's death, Peggy leads the Roaring Commandos to begin cleaning up the remaining remnants of the Hydra. Countless Hydra's warehouses were cleared. There were a large number of unknown items, some of which were powerful and could not be studied in depth at the level of technology at the time.
Peggy is an extremely decisive person. She believes that these items containing supernatural energy will bring an overly inflated ambition to the owner. So she sealed all the special items. I hope to wait until human technology is enough to control them, and then conduct research. Among them was a box of strange silver metal objects.
All items were packed up and sent to a secret warehouse. And in the warehouse, who had been secretly following, Lin Xuan slowly revealed his figure. He paid no attention to the other items. With a slight movement of a finger, one of the boxes opened automatically. Inside, a silvery, metallic, irregular polyhedron floated into the air.
Lin Xuan gently smashed a magic force into the polyhedron, and suddenly the metal surface of the originally smooth and blank polyhedron suddenly flashed with bursts of golden lines. At the same time, Lin Xuan also felt that his magic power was quickly decomposed by another energy.
This is a typical black technology. Technology from the Kree from outer space. In fact, it's not the metal polyhedron that really counts this object. It's something inside the polyhedron. An object called the Terrigen Crystal. This is an inducing agent used by the Cree people to study mutant humans on Earth. The Cree sealed the trigger in a special crystal that would release a mist when the crystal was broken. As long as the descendants have the bloodline of the original test subject, they can induce the hidden genes in the body and produce mutations. Thus gaining access to various superpowers.
But don't forget that the original experiment was not done with the Kree. Rather, it was abandoned halfway because of the end of the war. As a result, most of the original test subjects were not perfect. Their mutated genes are also more or less defective. Therefore, once the initiator is exposed, there is a possibility of some kind of cosmetic distortion. Lose certain functional organs, or become a monster.
The external metal polyhedron is really just a container, or a protective measure. There is an extremely advanced energy defense system on it. At the same time, it also comes with a special intelligent identification system. Able to distinguish which are descendants of test subjects. That is, a group known as the Inhumans.
Lin Xuan didn't plan to take away these Terrigan crystals, what he was really interested in was the strange energy defense system on them. and that autonomous identification system. Just be clear about the mystery of this. It's easy to find those potential Inhumans. And Terrigan Crystals can also be crafted by themselves. The Inhumans in the original book were synthesized by themselves.
After Lin Xuan's in-depth perception, he found that the silver metal itself was radiant. It is also the source of energy for the entire defense system. To apply scientific methods, it is probably that there is an element in the metal material that is constantly decaying and producing energy at the same time. The whole process is extremely slow and can last tens of thousands of years. The hidden golden veins on the surface of the metal are a technique that harnesses this energy. In fact, it's closer to some kind of circuit or rune in magic. Lin Xuan wrote down the entire pattern, preparing to use the magic runes to simulate that effect.
As for the kind of mist sealed by the Terrigen Crystal inside, Lin Xuan took a small part of each crystal and sealed it with magic. Inhumans are a rather special race, and some of them have considerable potential. Of course, Lin Xuan didn't mind recruiting a few strangers with better qualifications.
In fact, after the Kree are gone, some of the strongest Inhumans have established their own order. They developed their own civilization much earlier than the civilization of the earth. And because of its own ability, its development speed is extremely rapid. Before humans even noticed them, the Inhumans had already migrated to the far side of the moon.
Lin Xuan once wanted to contact them. But the aliens in that vein are extremely xenophobic. And the abilities of several of the royal families are really a bit buggy. Therefore, Lin Xuan still put this thought on hold and focused on the remaining Inhumans on Earth.
There are a large number of potential Inhumans throughout the planet, but most of them are descendants of incomplete bloodlines. The first thing Lin Xuan found was a girl named Jiaying. This girl has a lot of roles in the original Marvel universe. The boss of the second season of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents. is also the mother of the heroine Skye.
Jiaying of the original plot suffered a brutal and inhumane encounter. One of Hydra's leaders, Whitehall, discovered her abilities. But before I could delve into it, I was caught. It wasn't until decades later, when Whitehall was old, that he came out of prison. The first order he gave was to find Jiaying.
When he saw that Jiaying had not aged at all, he finally understood that he had found the right person. This mad dog actually dissected Jiaying alive. and transplanted a large number of Jiaying's organs, as well as blood to his own body.
Jiaying has an extremely powerful ability. She is able to absorb the life force of others to heal her own injuries. Or even keep yourself young. In her own village, Jiaying is revered as a saint. Some old people will take the initiative to sacrifice their life force to worship Jiaying. Keep her young. Jiaying didn't know what the reason for her ability was, she was kind by nature, she just accepted all this painfully.
Because it has absorbed a lot of life force. Jiaying's blood contains vitality beyond ordinary people. Whitehall thus regained his youth. And Jiaying's broken body was thrown into the wilderness by them. Jiaying's husband found her body and sewed her up. Then he killed the entire village and let Jiaying's body drain his life force. In the end, he successfully resurrected Jiaying.
But this encounter left an indelible scar on Jiaying's heart. This is also the fundamental reason for the great change in her temperament in the future. In other words, it was dissected by someone, and the blood was drained, and when he came back to life, it was absolutely impossible to be the original person. Although it was only mentioned in the original plot in memory. But the darkness and evil displayed by the hydra still deeply shocked Lin Xuan.
A small mountain village in Yunnan, China. Jiaying was still a teenage girl at this time, but she already had a mature temperament that other girls did not have. This is one of the reasons why she was able to become the leader of the Inhumans in the original books.
The fighting did not spread to the village. As a result, the whole village seems relatively calm. All the villagers just work in a step-by-step manner. There is no mention in the original book of how Jia Ying awakened her abilities. But now Lin Xuan has found her.
Originally, Lin Xuan didn't like it very much, and now he began to interfere with the plot. But he couldn't stand the hellish thing that would happen to that woman in the future. So he finally found Jiaying.
Jiaying looked at the two strangers in front of her, a little vigilant. She took a step back, made a gesture that could run at any moment, and asked vigilantly.
"Who are you looking for?"
"We're looking for you, Jiaying."
