The battle began to reach a stalemate.

The mutant soldiers pursued him quite quickly, and Alec had to use his flashing abilities frequently, which put a lot of burden on him...... The caster has never been a class that excels at protracted battles, and the energy cost of high-level spells is staggering, which means that if the caster can't quickly resolve the opponent and the battle is dragged into a war of attrition, the chances of him losing are extremely high.

Alec became aware of the problem when he was forced to use flicker for the second time.

Although his mana was still abundant, he still took out his soul coin to reduce his mana consumption.

Transform the soldier wielding a knife like rain.

He didn't have any great fighting skills, and even his attacks stopped from time to time, but with his strong recovery and super speed, he was able to defeat Alec one after another. Occasionally, Alec uses his flickering abilities to distance himself and use spells to counter him, but these spells are difficult to hit the Transformed Soldiers, let alone deal substantial damage to them.

……

Among the mutants, Jean has the highest level of ability, and is also the least suppressed by leech poison. Even though the underground base was filled with leech poison, she could still barely use her ability to contain the transformation soldiers...... Alec initially put his hopes on the mutants, but he soon realized that the mutants would have a hard time helping him, and that in this high-intensity battle, his mana would not be enough to sustain the time when the mutants were free of the leech poison.

Not far away, Raven's screams could be heard.

Alec looked distractedly, and Raven was impaled by the Diamond Man's bladed arm and pinned to the wall.

Such an injury would not be fatal to a vampire, but Raven would not be able to move due to the impaled body, which would be dangerous if he were pursued by the reformed soldiers...... Alec flickered over and slashed his sword into the soldier's arm. The crimson lava greatsword and the crystal clear diamond slammed into each other, and before everyone could see the result of the sword, a silver lightning rushed into the flames, knocking Alec back again.

With Alec's help, Raven covered his wounds and retreated in embarrassment.

Vampires are very resilient, but Raven's strength is limited, and the healing speed is not ideal. Before the wound on her lower abdomen had healed, the diamond-shaped transformation soldier had already healed itself.

The situation on the field turned rather bad, and instead of chasing Raven, the reformed soldier turned around without saying a word, intending to attack Alec with his companions. The mutants are anxious, but under the suppression of the leech poison, they are powerless to stop the reformed soldiers...... Wolverine joined the battle head-on, and although he lost his recovery, his powerful body and Erdman's alloy claws could still work, and with the wounded Raven, he could barely block the reformed soldiers.

……

Deep inside the base, Stryker looked at the surveillance screen with satisfaction.

With the help of leech poison, the reformed soldier has the absolute upper hand, and if this advantage alone is not enough for him to act so confident...... What really reassured him was that these two soldiers weren't all the power he had.

He also had several similar reformed soldiers on his hands.

Genetic technology, it's hard.

However, if you have mature transformation technology, and have enough funds and test subjects, it will not be as difficult to produce results as you think.

Stryker had been heavily funded by the government, and while his mutant research had some success, it was difficult to get the government to invest heavily in it...... As a government, their first concern is to maintain social stability, and Stryker's research will undoubtedly make the contradictions between mutants and ordinary people more acute. What's more, mutants are already a common phenomenon, and no one knows if there will be a mutant among their children, which determines that the government's support for Stryker is quite limited.

What's more, how many projects does the government have on its hands?

When the options increase, mutant projects with obvious drawbacks are no longer the first choice.

For these reasons, Stryker's research has been in a lukewarm state, and after the first stop at the Lake Alcali Dam, the government directly canceled Stryker's X-weapon program and invested the funds in other departments.

Of course, there are also reasons for Charles.

When Stryker learns that the project he has devoted his life to has been shut down, his mood can only be described as frustrating.

But all this soon took a turn for the better.

He meets a man, someone who also has a deep dive into mutants and sees them as a threat.

Dr. Teslak.

The biggest difference between him and Stryker lies in the resources he has -- Teslak Industries is a world-famous giant enterprise and an out-and-out military industrial enterprise. Although Straker Industries has little reputation among the people, in the eyes of the military, it is a giant comparable to Stark Enterprises. And the director of this giant company, that is, Dr. Teslak, has unimaginable resources and an almost extravagant research environment. After Stryker's setback, it was Dr. Teslak who stepped in and refunded him.

Stryker was able to make a comeback so quickly, and Teslak Industries contributed a lot.

Of course, there was another important factor that contributed to the deal, and that was leech poison.

This was supposed to be the card used by the military to deal with mutants, but Stryker gave the poison to Dr. Teslak in order to gain the support of Teslak Industries.

……

The battle between the mutants and the reformed soldiers didn't last long, and the outcome was first seen, and even Alec couldn't turn the tide under the attack of leech poison and several reformed soldiers...... Stryker stared at the monitor with some regret, unable to tell whether it was joy or sorrow in his heart, decades of struggle had finally seen the reward, even if he was as calm as him, there were some mixed feelings in his heart.

But he undoubtedly rejoiced too soon.

A cold voice sounded coldly behind him: "Colonel Stryker, it turns out that you are hiding here, and it really makes it easy for me to find it!" ”

Stryker turned his head stiffly.

"Alec?! How could it be ......"

In the blink of an eye, Stryker was drenched in cold sweat, and he glanced back at the surveillance, where the other Alec was struggling with the reformed soldiers. But the person in front of him is definitely not an illusion, because the soldiers in the secret room have all been solved silently...... He suddenly drew his rifle and fired fiercely at the man in front of him. But the bullets didn't have the slightest effect, and Alec's body collapsed into a ball of flames, and then quickly regained form.

With a casual wave of his hand, a crimson chain bound him Stryker.

Stryker finally gave up: "Worthy of being the person who makes Nick Fury jealous, amazing!" ”

Alec pouted, "Stop the operation of transforming soldiers. ”

"Impossible."

Stryker's face was rather ugly, but he was still making a final struggle: "Let me go." ”

"Then, we'll take Charles and them back to the Mutant Academy and wait for your next attack...... Stryker, don't insult my IQ. Alec looked at him with a smirk, "Your plan is over, although the transformation of soldiers is powerful, it can't keep me...... If you're tough enough, you can trade your life for Charles's life. Now, let the reformed soldiers stop, and then talk to me about the conditions! ”
