Chapter 62: The Last Moment
Directorate of Strategic Scientific Investigation.
A young agent rushed into the office area from the door in a panic, causing a burst of chickens and dogs in the office area.
However, the young agent ignored the insults behind him and rushed all the way to the director's office.
"Director, it's not good."
"What's the matter?"
Carter stopped his pen and pressed two fingers on the bridge of his nose, looking tired.
During this time, because of the mutant thing, she hadn't slept a peaceful sleep for a long time.
"Director, our people have found traces of Xiao here."
The young agent placed a report in front of Carter and spread out a map, pointing somewhere on the map.
"What did you say?"
Carter was shocked, and his brain cleared instantly.
The young agent was so frightened that he shuddered, and under Carter's aggressive gaze, he said weakly: "Director, our people have traces of Shaw in Washington. ”
Carter didn't get angry at the young agent, but sat down with a solemn face and flipped through the report on the table.
"What the hell is he trying to do?"
There is not much information available on the report, other than that Shaw's traces were found in Washington, in addition to the discovery of a mutant who looks like a demon and is red all over, and a stranger who appears to be a mutant.
After reading the report, Carter raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to Washington immediately, and I must find that guy for me." ”
Having tracked down Shaw for so long, although she didn't know what his purpose was, Carter's keen instincts told her that she had to stop Shaw or it would be a disaster.
If at first she only targeted Xiao to track down the whereabouts of Captain America, then later, she really suppressed the Hellfire Club for the safety of the whole world.
As the saying goes, the people who know you best are often your enemies.
Carter didn't fight Shaw once or twice during the period when he was tracking down the captain's whereabouts, and from the process of fighting, Carter discovered that Shaw was definitely a dangerous person.
In this extremely sensitive period, when Shaw, a mutant, appears in Washington, something big will definitely happen.
This was Carter's instinct as a woman.
While both Shaw and Carter are on the move, the mutants in the world become more and more restless.
Weaker mutants are better to say, mostly just doing petty theft.
However, those mutants who are powerful and are affected by the potion in the red test tube have made humans realize the power of mutants.
There is no doubt that the red test-tube potions injected by these mutants are the work of Rune.
This potion is the result of a formula that Lune isolated from the Red Skull version of the serum that can affect sanity, and then fused it with the potion that Keltex and others researched to enhance the ability to mutate.
Its effect is to amplify the negative emotions of the injector, and then have the effect of developing the ability to mutate.
Anyone injected with this mutant, whom Lune named the "Potion of Madness", over time, will become a bloodthirsty mutant.
After more than ten years of preparation, Lune has a lot of inventory.
As time goes on, the number of mutants injected with the "madness potion" will only increase.
Not only did Rune send his own people to find mutants, but he also chose a number of agents to sell the mutant potion, including Ronnie.
With the mutant potion, Ronnie's negative emotions were infinitely amplified, and the idea of unifying the mutants was finally born.
The phrase "mutants must not be disgraced" is regarded by him as the ultimate goal.
There are many mutant agents like Ronnie around the world, and for whatever purpose, these mutant agents have a lot of strength and have become mutant leaders in various regions.
The effect of a robber and a gang of robbers.
A robber robbing passers-by and killing people is already considered ferocious.
However, a group of robbers is not just a passerby, the bank is their target.
The same goes for mutants.
A mutant can't make any waves, unless he's at the level of Shaw, Charles, or Erik.
More than ninety percent of mutants are low-level mutants.
However, when these mutants come together, they can wreak havoc on a gang of robbers.
"Xiao, we can't wait any longer, look at what these guys are doing, it's a shame on us."
The Red Devil angrily threw the newspaper in his hand on the ground.
As if he was puzzled, he stomped on it a few more times.
"Azasser, don't worry, these are just clowns, in a few days, the whole world will be subjugated at our feet."
For these petty characters, Xiao is completely despised for them.
"Then why haven't we acted?" The Red Devil said angrily.
Xiao smiled coldly: "Don't worry, there are some traitors working for humans, I have to find a weapon that can deal with them." ”
Having fought Charles several times, how could Shaw not guard against Charles's ability.
The feeling of being controlled made him feel uneasy, and he was quite afraid of Emma, who also had telepathic abilities.
Not bringing Emma this time also has this concern of his own.
Even though Emma obeys him in front of him, he just doesn't trust Emma very much.
Seeing Xiao say this, the Red Devil could only go to the corner sullenly.
At the same time, Luhn appears at a Las Vegas casino.
"Mr. Lune, my master is invited."
Not long after entering the hall, a waiter came to Lune's side.
"Lead the way." Rune nodded.
The waiter led Lu through the bustling hall to a luxurious private room.
"Sir, please wait a moment."
Rune nodded and sat straight down on the couch.
The waiter had just gone out when a soft noise came from behind Luan.
Then a crack cracked in the wall behind Rune, and the couch rotated 360 degrees.
"You don't seem surprised at all?"
Looking at Emma with a hint of puzzlement in front of him, Lu En smiled faintly: "What's the surprise, isn't it just a secret room~"
"You seem to be confident at all times." Emma sighed.
"How else?" Rune raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Are you crying?" ”
Emma gave Rune a blank look: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." ”
"What did Xiao do?"
Although it was the first time for Lu to visit, he felt as casual as if he had arrived at his own home, got up and walked to the wine cabinet on the side, looked at the wine he didn't know on it, and took a bottle at random.
Boom~
"Would you like a drink?"
Holding the wine bottle, Luan asked casually.
"That's all Xiao's treasure, you're hurting me." Emma glanced at Rune and grumbled.
"From today onwards, you already belong to me, and he can't hurt you."
Lune didn't care at all, and took the bottle and poured it into his mouth in one go.
"Not necessarily, you're no match for him." Emma said dismissively.
Carrying only half a bottle of foreign wine, Lu En was stunned and said, "Who told you that he is my opponent?" ”
"Isn't it? Didn't you always want to kill him? Emma wondered.
With a smack, Rune looked disgusted and dropped the bottle.
"I wanted to kill him, but who said I had to do it to kill him?"
Emma was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”
Rune smiled mysteriously.
"I mean~"
"The trump card is ready to play."
