Chapter 10: I Need You!
What kind of person is William Stryker?
In terms of background, he comes from a military family and has deep military connections in this country.
In terms of knowledge and achievement, as a young man, as the successor of Bolívar Trasco, the scientist who originally studied the X gene, he is the only military authority in the field of X genes who has mastered the fusion of two different X genes with each other!
In terms of character, he is not a soft-hearted person, and even has a style that both mutants and ordinary humans would hate and loathe. He is also an indomitable person who can spare no expense and pay for a purpose.
A person is very complex, and it is difficult to describe a person's behavior and psychology in detail in a thick book.
A person is also simple, as simple as a sentence, which can hit his vital point and character with a sharp point.
Knowing himself and his opponent, Meng Ao didn't want to know too much about Stryker.
Whether it was Stryker's youth or the experience that caused his current personality and methods, which made him hate mutants immensely, Meng Ao didn't want to dig deeper, all he had to do was to grasp what Stryker needed and just lay out the carriage and horses.
The slow progress of his X-weapon program is the biggest dilemma Stryker faces.
Being able to push this initiative, even if it's just a small step forward, is what Stryker desperately needs right now.
The bright prospects for the mass production of perfectly controllable X weapons were an important factor in the military's efforts to support this research at the beginning.
But now, the military is burned out.
Tired of this kind of disproportionate effort and gain, success is still far from hopeless.
Some mutants close to humans have had relatively limited contact and cooperation with the human military; The X-weapon project was launched at the same time, and it was already on track with Mendel Storm's best efforts to save it.
When there is only one road in front of them, no matter how rugged and bumpy the road is, people can only go on without hesitation.
But when a road has a fork, most people's hearts are no longer strong and will become hesitant.
At this time, if one can see the forked road, one road gradually becomes flat, the scenery gradually becomes beautiful, and the other road is still rugged, still bumpy, still full of thorns, and there is no hope, there is no need to question what kind of inclination and choice the human heart will make.
The grade serum of Storm Enterprise is a new way for the scenery to be displayed.
William Stryker, on the other hand, is always worried that the next moment, the increasingly scarce research funding will suddenly be cut off; The department in which he has worked for twenty or thirty years will be abolished with an abrupt piece of paper; His research will be stored by the sword soldiers, and the stickers will be sealed!
He couldn't allow that to happen.
So he could only believe in Meng Ao and catch Meng Ao. He needed to prove his research to the military, as Mendel Storm had done, to the military, and to that organization!
……
How long have you been here?
Is it a month?
Or two months?
Is it a year?
Or two years?
Emma can't remember anymore.
Or maybe she couldn't remember the time and date anymore.
Every one of her qiē was imprisoned in this special cell of less than ten square meters.
The cell had no windows and no beds, just a lone chair and sleek, monitor-filled walls.
The only time she left the cell was mostly lying on a cold operating table, her limbs shackled and her body filled with massive, specially made anesthetics, and then some humans with various instruments either pierced or cut open her skin.
Whenever her body turned into a diamond, the humans would beat her body violently with a strange hammer, one after another, and she was extremely disgusted from the collision and concussion, and she was paralyzed and unable to maintain the diamondization. In that way, she even felt that if she didn't unturn the diamond, the next moment she would shatter like the glass that had been struck.
She has resisted in many ways.
But the more she resisted, the harder the humans punished her.
She succumbed to bruises.
She no longer provoked the humans with that apparent rebellion, so that they could find an excuse to do something against her.
Instead, she put her hope in others, hoping that someone she knew, who was still free outside, would be able to show up the base and rush to rescue her. She vows to be grateful to him from the bottom of her heart and loyal to him!
She waited a long time, counting the days day by day with great longing.
When she could no longer remember when such days had begun, and could not remember how much time she had spent in this longing, her hopes were dashed again.
No one came to save her.
The only thing she can rely on now is herself.
So she orchestrated an escape.
She used the little time to "let off steam", remembering the corridor she had walked, and cutting out the location of those monitors and the blind spots of the time difference.
She listened carefully to every word she heard, even if most of the people around her were silent, or said some useless nonsense and research, but over a long period of time, even if it was only an occasional useful few words, little by little, it could give her some information she needed.
She struggled to grasp the schedule of the guards in an area of the base and the time pattern of shift changes; She analyzed her escape plan back and forth, step by step, second by second, calculating her actions.
Where to be fast, where to be slow, where to pay attention to what, where to pay attention to grasp the time difference that flashes away, how long does it take for you to escape, how long does it take for the other party to determine her location, and how long does it take to surround her and catch her?
Her mind was almost insane with perfecting it, and there was only this one thing in her hot head during that time.
But even after doing so much, she knew very well that she escaped alone, and without any external help, the success rate was low. But she still fled without hesitation at that time, and she was happy in the early stage. She also managed to trick some mutants into causing a riot, but she soon ran into trouble.
The base was too big, and she ran out of her familiar area, even though she was very careful and careful, but she was still surrounded by soldiers guarding the base before she reached the entry and exit points of this base.
She was locked up in an empty room and planted a highly toxic microcapsule bomb somewhere in her body.
Her last and only hope, too, was gone.
Her mind didn't think about anything else, she just sat in the only chair in the room every day, imagining herself slowly dying like this.
No one will come to save her, no one will take her away, the longing is just a fantasy, and the nightmarish days continue day by day.
The door slid open.
Someone walked in.
Emma turned her head and looked at the person who entered with numb eyes. It's not those soldiers with big shoulders and round waists, and it's not those researchers who wear white coats, always draw her blood hard, and hold cold knives to do real things on her, it's a face that she remembers!
"Stryker?"
Without anger, anger has long since perished; and there is no hatred, for hatred has become numb; What she has is just cold, deep-rooted and pure sarcasm.
"White Queen Emma Frost?" Meng Ao looked at a white shirt that was thin and transparent, covering the roots of his legs, exposing a large area of skin on his body, but his mature body gave people only a cold woman, and asked Stryker.
Emma's gaze turned to Meng Ao's face, and the next moment, her heart, which she thought she had numb, suddenly beat violently in her chest again. She was like a person who broke out of the water after drowning and gulped in fresh air, greedily, chewing Meng Ao's words word by word, refusing to miss the slightest omission.
"Do you want to come with me?" Meng Ao held out his hand to her, "I need you." ”
