Chapter 10: Defects in Genetic Agents
"How are you, are you alright?" Potts walked quickly over to Tony, grabbed his shoulders, and looked him up and down.
"I'm fine. This, just an experiment, happened a little bit of a problem. Tony winked at Horsen with a helpless expression.
"And said it's okay, the pants are burned with so many holes." Potts crouched down, opened the opening of his pants, and was relieved to see the intact skin.
"Don't worry, I'm really fine." "When I do experiments, I take precautions. ”
"Huo Sen is also here, I'm sorry, I didn't see you just now." When the crisis was resolved, Potts immediately saw Horson and smiled embarrassedly, "Are you okay?" ”
Huo Sen shrugged and said, "I'm fine, I'd better take a good look at your Tony." I'm staying here tonight, and I hope it doesn't bother you. With that, he turned and left the lab.
Potts blushed, knocked Tony's chest, and snorted, "Look at you, why don't you hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes." ”
"Ok, go right away." Tony raised his hands, "Let's go, let's go up, the lab for Jarvis to clean up." ”
Holding some food, Huo Sen ate while walking, strolling out of the house, and finally gained strength, so he naturally had to familiarize himself with it.
He walked all the way through the meadow, through a grove, to the sea, found a path and went down, and stood firmly on the reef by the sea.
Huo Sen raised his right palm, his palm turned red, and a flame ignited on the ground, took a deep breath, and slammed it towards the sea.
With a bang, a column of water exploded on the surface of the sea, splashing in all directions, and a mist of water spread.
Huo Sen quickly took two steps back, still drenched in water, most of his clothes were suddenly wet, wiped the water from his face, and said with a smile: "The power is good, it can already be used as the eighteen palms of the dragon descending, but the launch speed is a little slow." ”
His eyes were contemplative, and when his right palm was raised, a flame had already ignited, and with a slight push, the flame shot out quickly.
There was another explosion, Huo Sen looked at the oncoming splash, shook his head, and his whole body lit up suddenly, and suddenly it burst into flames, and a flame enveloped him.
Whew!
The water splashed on the flames, sizzling, and the steam exploded.
The wind was blowing on the seashore, and the steam swirled and coiled, rolling on the flames, dissipating quickly, but there was still steam drilling through the loopholes in the flames.
Huo Sen suddenly became hot, his legs widened, and a cold air rose from the ground, and the flames that enveloped his body turned into ice in an instant.
"It's really a good ability, if you can learn it, the martial arts of the flame and ice attributes would be great, and if they complement each other, the power of the martial arts will definitely increase, and the use of special abilities doesn't have to be so rigid." Howzen's palms burned with flames, breaking through the ice cover and propelling him into the sea.
Looking at the use of mutants' abilities, especially the energy type, it is really rough and unsightly.
When the cold air of the Iceman froze the flames of the Burning Man, he walked too slowly, and at this speed, he was hacked to death, and the cold air did not even touch the corners of the enemy's clothes.
The burning man is even more cunning, and he also needs a lighter, and he can't directly emit flames.
Storm Girl and Phoenix Girl are strong enough, but they were beaten by the frog mutant, and in addition to their abilities, their hand-to-hand combat ability is pitifully weak.
Once the enemy is taken by surprise and fights hand-to-hand, you will not know what the reason is until you die.
"Huh." Huo Sen's heart was suddenly shocked, this is the world of Marvel, it has only been here for less than a month, and he has not inquired about the news of the Great Xia Kingdom at all, it is very likely that the internal strength exists.
He immediately wanted to call someone to check, but when he touched his trouser pocket, it was empty, and he didn't bring his mobile phone, "Forget it, it's not too late to talk about it another day." Now it's important to familiarize yourself with the ability. ”
Huo Sen had fire in one hand and cold qi in the other, standing there thinking about how the use of these two abilities could make the most of it.
Thinking about the graphic novel movie, the various abilities imagined in it, Horsen suddenly thought of Thunderbolt Fire in Fantastic Four, he is also the ability of fire, and most importantly can fly, flying with the thrust of flames.
Huo Sen was suddenly overjoyed, his hands hung down on his waist, palms to the ground, the flames burned violently in his palms, he frowned and tried to control the direction of the flames, his hands were suddenly forced, and his shoulders were lifted up.
His heart was happy, his spirit slowed down, and the flames suddenly softened, and they burned slowly in a clump without any thrust.
"Don't get excited, you haven't flown yet?" Huo Sen took a deep breath, the flames in his palms were burning, and his arms were immediately forced. He stood on tiptoe, his heart moved, and a ball of fire suddenly erupted from his feet, and his body suddenly became light, and he lost control violently, and flew up quickly.
"Ahh Huo Sen exclaimed, he was not in a hurry to be happy, and when he looked up, he saw that the cliff was rapidly enlarged in front of him, and he was about to hit it, and in a flash, the flames under his feet were extinguished, but his body crashed into the cliff without slowing down.
In a panic, he raised his hands and pushed forward, and flames erupted from his palms.
Bang on the cliff, the rock in the palm of the palm exploded, Huo Sen bent his arm, but still did not stop the force of the rush, hit the hard rock head-on, screamed in pain, and flew backwards, the wound of the collision was red and shiny, and the breath returned to the original state.
He was so dazed that he forgot his ability to activate it for a moment, and fell into the sea with a thud.
As soon as the cold water was soaked, Huo Sen suddenly came to his senses, fluttered, surfaced in a panic, spat out the undrinkable seawater, and scolded: "I. . . Damn, I almost got knocked to death. I knew that I wouldn't practice flying on the edge of the cliff, and if I didn't pay attention, I would crash. ”
He stepped on the water with his legs and floated on the water, trying to use his ability to fly, but looking at the crowded sea water around him, I am afraid that before he could fly, the flame would be extinguished, "This flame also has a weakness in its ability to fly." No, if the flame is strong enough, it will expel the surrounding water and fly out of the water in an instant. ”
Thinking of this, Huo Sen calmed down, and the jet flames burned violently under his feet, and suddenly rushed out of the water quickly.
"It works." Huo Sen's thought moved, the momentum of the flames slowed down, and the flight speed slowed down, and he looked down to see that the direction of flight suddenly turned, and he was about to crash into the cliff again.
Huo Sen hurriedly raised his head, sprayed flames with his palms, adjusted the direction, and stabilized his body, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, "I still have to practice." ”
The flames under his feet were fierce, and he flew to a high place, and then he wantonly played with flying skills, turning around in a snake walk, high and low, and having a lot of fun.
"Oh yes, I'll fly." Huo Sen cheered, his palm suddenly erupted into flames, and the direction suddenly changed, and the end was very flexible.
"Ahh Suddenly, he screamed in pain, and as soon as the flames were extinguished, he immediately fell from the sky.
As soon as he grabbed the burned clothes on his chest and tore them, there were several criss-crossing wounds on his chest, and faint flames burned at the wounds.
After a few breaths, the wound suddenly healed again, and it no longer hurt.
Huo Sen used his hands and feet together, spewed out fire violently, and slowly stabilized his falling body.
"It's dangerous." Huo Sen's heart pounded and he exhaled a long breath. At this time, I didn't dare to fly wantonly, and found the villa on the edge of the cliff, so I slowly fell to the sea and flew slowly on the water.
At this height, even if you fall, it's fine.
The coast was approaching, Huo Sen smiled, his spirit moved, and his speed immediately increased by half a minute.
Suddenly, his face changed, and he began to hurt again, he screamed in pain, gritted his teeth and endured, and flew two more steps to the reef.
After a few moments, his spirit was relieved, the flames were violently extinguished, and he immediately fell to the reef, huddled and gasping for air.
It came and went quickly, and after more than a few minutes, the pain disappeared and the cracks in his body were restored.
"What's going on?" Huo Sen breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the cold reef, "Could it be that the gene fusion failed, the rejection reaction suddenly intensified, and fortunately, the desperate and super recovery genes were added." When the body is genetically altered and adapts to this ice and fire ability, it should be able to stabilize. ”
But the time for which the gene is stable is uncertain, maybe a day, a month, a year, or even longer.
No one can afford to wait.
Regaining some strength, Horsen stood up, and with the strength of his flesh, climbed the rocks of the path, climbed up the cliff, and walked briskly to his lodgings.
"Until the genes are stabilized, it can't be easy to fly anymore." Dressed in torn trousers, Howson entered the house and went straight to the laboratory.
Tony wasn't there, and it seemed that his body hadn't been rejected.
"Maybe I'm overexerting myself and that's causing the gene rejection to intensify." Things were not in a hurry, and Howson was not ready to disturb Tony, so he decided to talk about it tomorrow, took a shower, lay on the bed, thought about the problem of gene fusion, and gradually fell asleep.
"Ahh With a tingling pain, Huo Sen woke up and pulled open the quilt, several cracks on his body were staggered. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and after more than a minute, the wound healed quickly.
After a moment of respite, Huo Sen pulled the quilt over, but he couldn't sleep at all, rolled around a few times, got up and got dressed and walked out of the room.
Snatching a drink from the fridge, he walked to the lab with beef in his other hand, "The memory of bioengineering has been completely fused, maybe we can try to do experiments and find a way to solve the problem of genetic rejection." ”
The lights in the laboratory were still on, and as soon as Huo Sen walked in, he immediately saw Tony in front of the instrument, and was stunned for a moment, "Brother, got up so early?" ”
"Hmm." Tony turned to look at him, his eyes full of concern, and said, "I've found the cause of genetic rejection?" ”
"What's going on, it's obviously already fused." Howson Road.
"If it weren't for the theme of desperation and super resilience genes, it would be impossible for mutant genes to be integrated into the bodies of ordinary people." Tony pinched his eyebrows, "Mutants are because they have awakened the X gene, so they have gained power beyond ordinary people. Although we have obtained the ability of mutants through genetic technology, we have not turned on the X gene. ”
"The power of mutant genes is not controlled by the X gene, and the consequence is that we are now, and the genes will suddenly and violently reject."
"The X gene must be turned on so that the mutant gene can be fully matched with the body and no longer rejected."
Tony held his head in his hands, grabbed his scalp, and said in silence for a moment: "And as far as I know, so far, the X gene has been turned on naturally, and there is no artificial way to open it." ”
Huo Sen's heart tightened, he didn't want to be flying in mid-air, suddenly feel a pain in his body, and then fall to the ground.
Then he thought of Charles, and immediately remembered that the time when Magneto would create the mutant instrument should not be far away.
"There must be a way." Huo Sen said, "How to turn on the X gene, I don't believe those mutants, they won't study it." Perhaps, they have now found it, making mutants
method. ”
"Makes sense." Tony nodded, "Looks like we have to go to Charles again." ”
"Don't think about it." Huo Sen smiled, "In a short time, there will definitely be no problem." Today, Killian is going to have a treat, so let's celebrate first. ”
