In the hall on the top floor, Eric was playing with a small model alone in the air, when suddenly the door opened and John entered.

"Are all the people settled?" New Magneto asks his students.

"Yes." John replied. "According to our previous plan, they will live for the time being, although the construction of the factory has not yet been fully rolled out, but the preliminary preparations have been started."

Eric nodded, continuing to change the model's posture.

"What's S.H.I.E.L.D.'s reaction?" He asked, so many mutants suddenly gathered, it was impossible for Aegis not to be unaware, he had previously expressed his idea to Fury, and now he wanted to see if Fury's attitude had changed.

"Agent Coulson came and asked, and he wanted us to reconcile and keep our compatriots at arm's length from ordinary people." John said.

"Coulson is a smart man, he didn't say anything like asking for the law because a lot of times things are not a person's responsibility, he was right, distance is the only way to reduce harm, and of course we don't close ourselves off with walls and fear as we used to, but with our development, we can become a functioning small society in the future."

"That's going to take more people, and a factory north of Boston can't accommodate them." Seeing more than 400 people coming together, John was a little worried, he knew the most about the resources at Eric's disposal among the young people, and he knew that they were not enough to deal with so many people.

More than 400 people came in a few days this time, and what about the next time? When the news of these people spreads all over the United States, perhaps 6 will continue to be an unimaginable number, although the overall number of mutants is not too large, but only 400 people will move in from each of the 50 states. The instructor has to take on the safety and development of 20,000 people, and the pressure that comes with that is unimaginable.

Eric knew what he was thinking, but didn't care.

John calculates resource consumption according to the concept of ordinary people, but this concept is not suitable for mutants.

In New York State, for example, the average annual income for residents is $40,000 per person. Several major taxes, including federal, state, Social Security and Medicare, are deducted by more than a quarter when combined. In this way, the monthly income per person is only about 2,500, and for an ordinary family, their life is naturally quite tight. After paying 300 to 500 yuan a month for food, 100 dollars for commuting expenses, and other daily entertainment expenses, they have to buy an additional health insurance of about 15,000 yuan a year, but the mutants have a different lifestyle than them.

First of all, there are medical expenses, mutants rarely get sick, and ordinary people may be in danger of their lives if they encounter a flu, but mutants do not have this risk. Most of their problems lie in their ability to control their instincts, if they can learn to control their instincts at a young age, they will basically not hurt themselves in the future, so that the biggest expenditure relative to ordinary people will be avoided.

Then there is the residential aspect, the average house in the suburbs of the eastern coastal city has a fixed monthly expenditure of about $2,000, including utilities, management, taxes and maintenance, if the income level is below the average. There are many factors in this, including government considerations, as well as the tacit agreement between banks and real estate developers, but when they live on their own land. You don't have to worry about that.

Finally, there is the consumption of entertainment, energy, electricity can be provided by Otto's small artificial sun, and for entertainment Eric noticed a point, probably the ability is different from ordinary people, young people disdain all kinds of popular games in the outside world, they begin to feel fresh and enjoy watching with relish, but soon become less interested, the same thing is also born in Nick and Mariano ordinary mutants, and in the future, as the population becomes more and more concentrated, there are more and more young people, maybe they can launch their own internal events.

So to sum up, the initial investment in the operating community may be a little high, but with the help of Eric, they can soon complete the stage of accumulation, to a higher level, once the internal circulation is formed, the need for the outside world will be reduced to a very low level, then more compatriots are not troublesome, anyway, he has planned to invest all the money earned in the new material industry into a suitable environment.

Perhaps he could also negotiate with the six inner states where land is cheaper, and use Auroro's ability to transform the terrain and transform the desert into a grassland - Eric certainly doesn't plan to put Storm Girl in the spotlight right now, but it's a feasible idea.

"Don't worry, John." He flipped through the designs in his hands and explained them to the students. "You can treat newcomers the same way I do to you."

"I will." John understood.

Recently, the one-eyed black director does not seem to have received any good news, and the further expansion of the mutant's power is still expected, and now that small conservative organization in Washington has been brutally attacked again, some people from all walks of life have put pressure on him to solve the problem.

"Winter Soldier again, assassination again." Nick threw a copy of the paper on his desk, filled with news of the Winter Soldier's assassination of members of the anti-mutant forces, and underneath it was a report on the whereabouts of Eric and his students, as well as some information from the Magneto Brotherhood - they had no time or reason to contact Hydra.

"He comes and goes so fast that we can't catch his tail at all." Commander Hill has placed guards around important people, but there is only one strong man of the captain's level, and the rest are difficult to pose a threat to the Winter Soldier. Moreover, the Winter Soldier's mission seems to be only to cause panic, and as soon as he is out of his power, he will immediately turn away, leaving no chance for the agents to be trapped.

This kind of expression also further confirms the speculation that he was sent by Hydra to provoke disputes between politicians and mutants.

"Now we're like mutant nannies, trying to protect them from politicians on the one hand, and being careful not to provoke them on the other, and every time I think about the person who caused this qiē, my head hurts to death." In the face of the right-hand man,.

"Senator Kelly has officially consulted us on the matter, and I've sent our speculation and some evidence through, but he seems hell-bent on pointing the finger at the mutants." Hill replied calmly, but there was some helplessness in his eyes.

"I'm not surprised that politicians can only see what's under their noses." Nick knew that Kelly was an anti-mutant pioneer and had proposed a mutant registration bill, but was forced to withdraw due to the pressure brought by Magneto, and now he forgot the lesson and used the death of the former president to entangle the conservatives with a strong stance to regroup, and he certainly had to take advantage of the opportunity now.

"Then what are we going to do, we only have one captain, unless we unseal those weapons." Hill hinted at bringing up the energy weapon she had seized from Hydra, knowing that she had found the source of the power while searching for the captain a long time ago, and that Nick had been quietly using it.

"I'd rather these people die, and I want to keep our hole cards in my hands."

Hill was silent, she knew something, but not as deeply as Nick.

"Is the threat exaggerated?" She thought to herself, but Nick saw through her.

"If Nazi Germany during the Great War and Soviet Russia during the Cold War appeared in front of you at the same time, which would you hate more?" The Director asked the Commander.

Hill thought about it for a moment and decisively chose Soviet Russia.

"Yes, Eric, like Hitler, wants a living space for mutants, but Hydra wants to destroy our freedom and way of life together." Nick said slowly. "Especially when it is parasitic in your body, you have eyes but can't see the direction clearly, you have ears but you can't rely on it with confidence, you can only walk on the tightrope carefully step by step, and you are not afraid to deal with it at one time, and all your qiē may be taken over by it. You don't know who you can trust, you don't know where your opponent is, you can't use your strength, and if we accidentally fall into its grasp, we will end up suffocating in despair. ”

In the quiet office, only the director's voice echoed quietly.

"My grandfather drove elevators, and he drove them for forty years." The director looked up and reminisced about the past, his words were thoughtless, but Hill was more focused.

"He works in a high-end building, and he tips a lot. He walked home every night, and his lunch bag was filled with a roll of one-dollar bills, and at first he greeted people, and they said hello to him, but after a long time, the neighborhood was not so friendly. He said hello and they said, 'Go your way,' and my grandfather started to tighten his lunch bag tighter and tighter. ”

"Has he ever been robbed?" Hill asked.

Nick shook his head slightly and laughed, "Every week, a thug asks him, 'What's in the bag?' ’”

"How does he do it?" Hill pressed on.

He showed them the bag. Nick turned his head and fixed one eye on her with a deep glow. "A wad of dollar bills and a loaded pistol."

Hill Moran.

"My grandfather was kind to people all his life, but he didn't trust people completely." Nick muttered, walking to the floor-to-ceiling window and watching a familiar man under the building hug back and forth towards S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

"Look, Alexander is smiling so proudly." Pointing to the figure of the former director,. (To be continued.) (。 ))
