Chapter 760: Conclave
Lorna glanced at the woman in surprise, very ambitious, but also very perceptive, good at seizing opportunities.
"Yes, you can have other variant abilities, as long as you can bear it."
Fusion of mutant abilities is not an impossible thing, and after Lorna has the power of the dimensional snake, she can devour other mutant abilities.
In addition to her, in the experiments of the Shida family and Stryker, there are materials related to the ability to have multiple variants.
This is one of the reasons why they are now able to genetically modify X.
If you want to give more mutant abilities, Hank and Jean can do it through experiments, although at most they are about level 3 mutant abilities, but it is enough.
Don't look at the number of third-level mutants and the fourth-level mutants, there is a huge difference, but that's more because of the difference in appearance.
In terms of strength, there are some level 3 mutants whose abilities are not necessarily worse than level 4.
Moreover, such an endowment is actually enough.
If you want to continue to grow stronger, you can become Lorna's henchman and let her strengthen herself, so that the potential will be even stronger.
Carmen instantly understood what Lorna meant, and said, "Miss Lorna, I don't know if rescuing more of my compatriots is also a credit." ”
Between the words, the mutants have become compatriots, and she has a delicate mind, in fact, she already understands the reason why Lorna wants to reward them in this way this time.
The powerful mutant ability is a bonus, allowing them to have a longer lifespan and self-preservation, but it is also a vote of nomination.
In the past, they were human beings, and even under the deterrence of force value, they did not dare to resist anything.
But only they know what it is like in their hearts, and they can't promise to betray mutants one day in order to protect themselves.
But now it's different, they're mutants, the camp has been decided, and they have to stand with Lorna.
The official people don't care whether they are congenital mutants or acquired mutants, and even to some extent, they are the mutants who have been mutated like them, and the official is more eager for them.
Lorna glanced at the six and said, "As long as it's beneficial to mutants, then your credit will be noted by me." ”
With Lorna's affirmation, the minds of the six people came alive.
After leaving the base, the six gangsters changed direction overnight, and they all took corresponding actions, accepting more mutants into their industries.
Those who don't have too strong ability have a relatively normal income, and those who have combat power and have a certain ambition join the gang.
Instead of fighting for power, it is a tacit agreement to start suppressing other smaller forces, so that mutants can better operate across the borders.
At the same time, they began to show their strength, seeking more control over the official position.
It is not a sale of official positions, but a large part of the gray field into the scope of control.
Mexico's governance is already chaotic, and although the government is the dominant force, the absence of jurisdiction has led to the emergence of six major gangs and more smaller gangs as the dominant forces of the underground.
There are many holes between the powers, and they fight with each other.
If one side is strong, the other side will naturally make certain concessions and cede more power.
If there were no mutant powers, then the six gangsters would be the absolutely weak side, but now it's different.
They are united, and they have the mutant forces behind them, so the power at the grassroots level is gradually being dismantled.
More of the power to speak is in the hands of the six gangsters, in other words, in the hands of the mutant empire.
Their actions are not only to seize power, but in the process, the officials who cooperate are also infiltrated and gradually transformed into mutants.
The breaking of the upper boundaries has quietly changed the attitude towards mutants in the whole of Mexico, which has also made the entire country fall more and more under the control of Lona.
However, such a change is not a good thing for the United States to the north.
Sentinel Secret Service and CIA agents are almost all the agencies that can talk about this matter, and they are sparing no effort to detect the changes in Mexico, and slow down the development of this rising mutant empire without exacerbating the contradictions.
The infiltration of agents, the constant bribery of informants, and all the means can be said to be all-encompassing.
If it is a regular country, then I am afraid that it has been infiltrated into a sieve by those agents.
But this is a mutant empire, and all kinds of unimaginable abilities are the strongest constraints on their means.
For example, Jean and Sonia manage the Psychic Ability, Phoenix.
Phoenix is a team of psychic abilities established after the successive Spirit Snake Squad, although not everyone has the same powerful abilities as Sonia and Jean.
But simply judging the mind and emotions is what they are good at, and no matter how powerful the agent is, he can't avoid such a probe.
Moreover, with the gang's achievements, Carmen's right-hand man was also sent to Lorna for transformation, and the primary psychic ability was transformed in a targeted manner.
This is to buy his subordinates, but also to consolidate the team more conveniently.
With such a force, infiltration is basically unlikely.
On the contrary, the movement of the mutant empire is getting bigger and bigger, and the gangs are brazenly starting to smuggle their own compatriots along the border.
At the same time, without Magneto personally ending, the Mutant Brotherhood began to raid more labs, with the Straker Group losing the most.
——
"Mr. Straker, how long are you going to keep us waiting, Mexico has become one of those damn mutants."
In a mysterious conference room, Sentinel Secret Service, military executives, and senior White House officials sit around a round table, and instead of a physical person, they are projected on a screen.
Above the projection, a short figure in a wheelchair, with gray hair and a wrinkled face, only a pair of deep eyes, still shining with a dazzling light.
"Your Excellency, Lorna Dane's strength is no longer as simple as a level 5 mutant, you must know that even Magneto and Professor X cannot compare to her."
The old man's voice came through the screen, still unhurried.
"You don't need to say such nonsense," a gray-haired, resolute-faced general said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for this reason, you thought you would easily get a sample of the X-Men?" ”
Straker laughed: "General Rothf, don't worry, it's a good thing that they're cowering in Mexico." ”
The president glanced at Straker and looked calm: "How is your Sentinel Project going?" ”
Although Straker is not in a political position, his influence on the government after decades of operation should not be underestimated.
Especially this old guy's scientific research ability and city government, now he is still so calm, there must be progress, he just wants more things.
"It's a little progress, and soon the strongest sentinels will be made."
Rothf's eyes narrowed: "How is the combat effectiveness?" ”
"He will have all the abilities that mutants have, and it will be an inexplicable existence."
Everyone's pupils shrank, and they looked at Straker in shock, and the president asked in a deep voice, "What else do you want?" ”
