Chapter Ninety-Six: The Beast's "Old Friend"

As time passed, the off-road convoy made its way through the night. We galloped to a large area of the Brand Group Industrial Park on the outskirts of New York, which is close to the sea. Somehow, they contacted the people left behind in the factory, and a secret passage opened directly in the jungle outside the factory.

The passage seemed to have been reserved since it was built, and Ymir could understand that the rich had strange habits of one kind or another.

The road was narrow enough to accommodate only one off-road vehicle, and the convoy drove in a long line.

Ymir looked around, black holes in the metal walls around him. One can imagine how useful these machine gun holes would have been if they hadn't sneaked in through the normal way.

Oddly enough, the holes in particular appear to have some signs of a recent installation. Needless to say, this is certainly Kim's support for his allies.

For better protection, or rather the imprisonment of Herbert Langdon, King did not hesitate to install these weapons of great firepower.

The passage does not go straight ahead, but goes underground. The convoy drove for a while before slowly slowing down.

"It looks like we've got the place." Ymir sighed, still walking through the car door, standing aside and twisting his waist in exaggerated movements to stretch his body. On the other hand, the underground laboratory of the Brand Group is busy with the return of the hunting party.

Several security guards in chemical hazmat suits picked up the sleeping demon girl from Bulleye's men, and the other researchers began their work.

Ymir followed them into the research hall, and then stared in amazement at the hundreds of "birdcages" of elaborate zuò hanging from the top of the hall. But these cages are not birds, but human beings.

There seemed to be a faint blue light coming out of the railings of the cages in the middle, apparently with a powerful energy.

Ymir looked up, and a chill slowly rose in his heart, if his girlfriend Cledia was also locked up here, it would not be easy. But on second thought, since the Shapeshifter didn't know about this place, Cledia, who was standing with the Shapeshifter, shouldn't be here either.

Since it was none of his business, Ymir quickly adapted to the strange sight, and as if he were watching a 3D movie up close, he continued to walk forward.

Ymir noticed that in one of the cages in the center, there was a bigfoot monster covered in blue hair. If the memories of the past life are not wrong, this should be the "beast" in the X-Men.

Although in the movie, the "beast" only appears as a government official, there is nothing special about it. But when the next few mutants confronted the government forces, the "Beast" made the most of his infinite abilities.

This half-human, half-beast superhero is a very special member of the X-Men, even among the X-Men. Anti-mutants see him as evidence that mutants are the devil, but his heroic deeds after joining the Avengers have also earned the trust of many other people in the mutants.

"Where is this?" The beast has a stronger body than other mutants, so it is also the most resistant to narcotic drugs.

Ymir saw his fingers move slightly, and then sat up in the cage.

The beast rubbed its head, surveyed its surroundings, then stood up and slammed into the railing. Suddenly, sparks flew around, and he was blown back into the cage by a powerful stream of energy.

"If I were you, I wouldn't act rashly when the situation is unclear!" The bullseye disappeared for a moment, and by the time it reappeared, Mr. Herbert had already appeared next to him: "We use a special voltage amplifier. ”

The beast screamed, looked down at the charred hairs on its hands, and roared in disbelief, "Herbert Langdon? ”

"I'm glad to see you again after a long time apart." Herbert gracefully walked under the cage where the beast was imprisoned, and faced this old friend from the past, his face indeed showing sincere joy.

"Herbert, why the hell are you doing that?" The beast was not happy, in fact, no one would be happy when he woke up from his coma and found himself imprisoned in a birdcage.

Herbert smiled: "You can't guess? ”

As if the beast's question had hurt his heart deeply, he frowned and shook his head, "Don't you remember how many years we used to work together, Dr. Hank McCoy?" ”

"They really know each other!" Ymir's heart twitched a little weakly, and he found that the relationship between these superheroes and villains in the Marvel world was really complicated.

When I watched a movie in my previous life, I didn't know that there were so many secrets in it.

"Don't you remember how desperate you were to find a way to keep you from mutating? So much so that in the process of research, you do not hesitate to risk your own body. ”

Hank McCoy, an Illinois native, was born to his father, Norton McCoy, who worked at a nuclear power plant and bravely solved a nuclear leakage crisis.

Norton and his lover Eleanor later married, possibly due to the effects of nuclear radiation, and their son Hank was born with a very strong body and extremely thick hands and feet.

The bigger Hank grows, the stronger his body becomes. He also had a well-developed mind, excelled in secondary school, and became a high-profile rugby player.

At this time, the concept of mutants had emerged, and some people who were jealous of him thought that he was mutants and had malicious intentions, and soon a gang of criminals kidnapped Hank's parents and forced him to work for them.

It was Professor X and his students Cyclops and Iceman who helped Hank and confirmed that he was indeed a mutant, convincing him to transfer to Xavier School, where he joined the X-Men.

In an unexpected event, Hank drinks an imperfect potion in order to fight a spy, resulting in a hairy form. He has been working hard to develop an antidote to the original state, but he has never succeeded, and before that, he can only live as a veritable "beast".

"Enough, Herbert!" The beast's voice was hoarse but loud, and he interrupted Herbert's revisiting of his past: "It's all a long time ago, and I've changed a lot since then. ”

"Obviously, you're as depraved as those lowly mutants now, you've completely changed." Herbert Langdon walked under the cage where the beast was kept, folded his arms and said, "But I haven't changed. And now, the Brand Group I have established, is to continue the research you have pioneered until all mutants in this world are wiped out! ”
