Chapter 0073: Mutant Base
This time, the destination was a biochemical laboratory for a certain number of years, and about ten years ago, due to the leakage of chemical raw materials, which caused serious pollution to the surrounding environment, which could not be completely remediated in a short period of time, the entire area was listed as a forbidden area. But according to Diaz, the contamination there has long since been cleaned up. And the reason why the political axe and people have not found out is because one of the mutants can project fear, to put it simply, it is to create fear in the hearts of people who enter the range, so that people have the idea of escaping, and this is a subconscious behavior, which is basically undetected.
"This mutant is the one who created the illusion?" Rollo asked.
"No, illusion-making is another." The person who answered pondered for a moment, and hesitated for a moment, "The fellow who projected fear also has a certain range of perception. Usually he will be stationed on the perimeter as a sentry, and once he senses that a stranger or something like a drone is approaching, he will continue to release his abilities, and at the same time notify his compatriots inside the base, and then the one who created the illusion will create an illusion that covers the entire base, making the whole building look like the ruins of ten years ago, and even the drone can't see the clues. This way, people will not know that the chemical leak exclusion zone has become a base for mutants. They are the first line of defense for the base. ”
Then the individual is naturally Marcos Diaz. After that injection, he finally looked much more normal. Of course, the 'normal' here is only relative to the addict he used to look like. According to Stephanie's information, this guy was a relatively strong and determined guy before he was caught, but now he ......
"What, it's hard for you to betray your companions?"
Looking at the other party's expression of shame and struggle, Luo Luo said lightly. By this time, he and Diaz had broken away from Stephanie's team and were slowly approaching the mutant base in a car. By the way, this car is still from before Diaz was caught
Rollo asked this question more to analyze Diaz's psychological state and ensure that he was capable of the next 'inner ghost' mission. But this sounded to Diaz's ears, and he regarded it as a mockery. This guy who was not very good-tempered subconsciously removed one of his hands from the steering wheel, and the palm of his hand was towards Rollo's head to release some ability to deal with Rollo. As a result, Rollo took out the remote control, which was similar to a lighter, and raised it in front of him, causing him to freeze in anger and have to stop all movements.
It's like it's frozen, and it's like a poultry that's been pinched by the neck and pressed on a chopping board......
"Don't move your hands, turn your head to look ahead, and continue driving." Luo Luo smiled, said this, and then observed the palm of the other party's hand. "Well, nothing special. So your mutant abilities are released through the palm of your hand? ”
Diaz jerked his hand back, seemingly resistant to revealing his mutant abilities to Rollo. But I don't know if I remembered the remote control, and after two or three seconds, he still spoke.
"I can unleash a wave of light from the palm of my hand to attack others."
"Hey, it's about mine." Rollo made a strange look of surprise as he spread out his left hand to unleash his once-golden but now brilliant blue scrap power. "The difference is that whether it's light or heat, my ability is far from meeting the standard for attacking."
Seeing the blue light in Rollo's palm, Diaz was stunned for a moment, and almost drove the car to a tree on the side of the road in a distraction. Finally coming back to his senses, he asked in an astringent voice, "Are you really not a mutant?" ”
"Probably not." Rollo shook his head. "They checked, and I don't have the mutant X gene in my body."
Diaz let out an "oh" before turning his head away. Can you hear that his emotions are a little complicated, probably because he thinks that he is about to betray his fellow mutants?
"By the way, there's one more thing I'm curious about." Rollo suddenly said, "Do you know how you exposed the identity of the mutant? ”
Seeing him ask about this, Diaz was stunned again at first, and then his eyes were a little hateful: "Before I joined the mutant organization, I made a few friends, and I happened to have a small gathering with them when I was arrested. Now it doesn't seem to be 'just right' at all, one or more of them betrayed me! ”
"So they know who you are - you've ever shown competence in front of them?"
"Uh...... There have been a few ...... I used to be a member of the Society, and out of desperation, I used my mutant abilities to do things that I wasn't proud of. That's when they knew I wasn't just human. At the time they didn't look at me like a monster, and I've always been grateful, but I didn't expect it to be ...... now."
"There is no need to be low or sad, it is not you who is at fault but them, the world. Besides, maybe they have some kind of problem, such as just being short of money or being held by something. Rollo didn't expect that he would comfort others, and it was still a man. But he soon told himself that it was just a means to an end. The next moment, he changed his mind and asked the question he had been putting on the ground: "So listening to you, you knew you had superpowers for a long time." So how do you know for sure it's a mutant ability, and how do you know if you're a mutant? Was there something special that came to you after you burst out of your first ability? ”
Hearing this, Diaz's two thicker eyebrows furrowed: "What do you want to know?" ”
"Hehe, I want to know ......" One moment Rollo was still smiling gently, and the next moment he was staring at Diaz's face with a sword-like gaze. I want to know, do you know the X-Men? ”
Rollo noticed that the corners of Diaz's eyes twitched, apparently not the first time he had heard the name "X-Men", which had disappeared for thirty years. But what Diaz said was: "X people? What is it? And ......"
What "and" Rollo didn't want to hear, he was ready to ask about the X-Men. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that his heart began to beat irregularly, his breathing became short, and the whole person seemed to become weak, his blood pressure increased, and he was about to break out in a cold sweat. Such a reaction has a scientific name called 'fear'.
"Looks like you've felt it...... You're going through the first line of defense here. Diaz turned his head back to the front while dragging the footbrake to slow the car down.
Rollo finally recovered from his state of fear, and then a wave of fear followed. Projecting fear sounds like it only affects emotions, but after experiencing it himself, Rollo realizes the horror of this ability. It stands to reason that after crossing into this world and experiencing so much, coupled with the mentality of an outsider who travels through himself, Luo Luo has not been too afraid of anything. Even when he was tied to a chair in Asgard and about to face a lightning strike, he was just uneasy, not fearful. But that feeling just now was like digging out the fear that he had forgotten for a long time, not as an image of a ready-made fear, but directly the fear itself!
If it weren't for the mutant who projected fear and stopped because of Diaz, Rollo estimated that his combat effectiveness would have been greatly reduced for a long time.
"I don't know if there is an energy level or absolute strength gap in the use of this ability. If not, let such a mutant give Thanos directly, and "Avengers 4" won't have to be so tragic......"
Rollo thought so wildly that the car driven by Diaz turned a corner and came to the second link of the 'first line of defense'. In front of him, he saw a half-collapsed experimental park, and there were mottled green stains on the ground. Then, as soon as Diaz shouted in Spanish, something along the lines of "It's me, Marcos, I've brought a compatriot back," the 'experimental park' in front of Rollo began to seem to dissolve, gradually disappearing, and was replaced by a small building that was not beautiful but looked very sturdy.
This is the true base of this mutant organization.
