A secret military base in Canada.

With Carter behind him, Stryker's secret base for Project X isn't as humble as in the original book.

There are all kinds of black technology equipment.

In a transparent cylindrical hibernation pod, a muscular man with various intubations in his body is soaked in an unknown liquid with his eyes closed.

Outside the sleeping cabin, Victor, who was sturdy and fierce, exuding a dangerous aura all over his body, was looking at the man in the sleeping pod with jealousy and crazy eyes, muttering to himself.

"Jimmy, to be honest, sometimes you're really annoying, especially your pathetic kindness, it really makes me want to throw up."

"We are different from everyone else, have you forgotten how those humans treated us, have you forgotten what kind of life we used to live? Have you forgotten that it was me and you who have relied on each other to get to this point together? Have you forgotten that we are brothers? ”

The madness in Victor's eyes grew hotter and hotter, and then he screamed hysterically.

"I'm your brother, and you're going to be killed by me for the sake of humanity."

"Why? Why exactly? ”

A crazy murderous aura permeated the laboratory, and Victor suddenly laughed, with a hint of crazy satisfaction in his smile.

"Now, well, you will never leave me again, and our brothers can fight side by side once again."

"When I inject Edelman, I'll kill that Stryker guy for you, and then find a way to save you."

"Then you will know my good intentions."

At this moment, with a creak, Stryker, dressed in military uniform, walked in with Carter pushing the door.

"Victor, what are you doing?"

Victor turned his head to see Carter, and a hint of murder flashed in his eyes, but he covered it up well and was not noticed by the two.

"I'm just talking to Jimmy." Victor smiled, then turned his gaze to Carter and said hello, "Director Carter, it's been a long time. ”

Carter ignored Victor with an iron face, she had never had a very good impression of Victor, and after hearing Stryker say that James was betrayed by his brother Victor, she was left with disgust for Victor.

If it weren't for the fact that Victor was still useful now, she would have ordered Stryker to deal with him.

"Colonel, I want to be alone with my old friend for a while."

Stryker naturally understood who Carter's old friend was, nodded, and greeted Victor: "Victor, haven't you always wanted the Edman alloy skeleton?" Now I just made a batch, would you like to try it? ”

Victor's eyes lit up, he was really sleepy and met the pillow, thinking about what to come.

Immediately stopped paying attention to Carter, and strode out the door with Stryker.

"I can't wait."

......

When only Carter and James were left in the hibernation pod in the laboratory, they walked to the hibernation pod with complicated eyes, looking at the man who seemed to be asleep inside, and a tear slipped from the corner of Carter's eye.

"I'm sorry."

Before coming, Carter had a thousand words to say in his heart, but when it came to the end, Carter couldn't say a word except these three words.

It was she who recruited James and Victor into her team and let James enter Stryker's eyes, and then it was Carter who gave Stryker the idea to recruit James and Victor to work.

At first, it was just to give James a job so that this old friend would not end up on the streets, and Victor was only incidental.

But when she heard Stryker's plan, she just touched the scar on her face and didn't object.

Speaking of which, James will be what he is now, and Carter deserves a lot of credit.

But now Carter has changed.

Or rather, after knowing that everything was behind Luan's back, Carter changed.

Steve is Carter's beloved, and she never gives up on finding Steve's whereabouts, but everything changes when she has this horrible scar on her face.

She didn't dare to track down Steve's whereabouts anymore, in addition to being afraid of hearing the news she didn't want to hear, she was even more afraid that if Steve was still alive and found by her, she wouldn't be able to be with Steve.

Looks are everything to a woman, especially when facing her beloved.

After being disfigured, Carter knew that he would never see Steve again in his life.

This made her desperate, and she thought about killing herself at one point, but after she knew that everything was behind Luhn's work, Carter blamed all her despair and anger on Luan.

Now Rune is Carter's obsession.

She lived for the sole purpose of killing him.

For this, she can do whatever it takes, even if she pushes James, an old friend, into the abyss.

Thinking that his plan was almost successful, Carter's gaze slowly turned cold.

One last glance at James in the hibernation pod, and then left the lab without looking back.

In addition to taking one last look at James, she came today for a more important purpose.

Compared to the Sentinel program, the X Weapon program was more important in Carter's heart.

The Sentinels are specifically aimed at mutants, and Project X is Carter's to deal with Rune.

The X weapon program must be in their own hands.

Before leaving the lab, Carter pulled out a small communicator from his chest.

"Fury, Pierce, get ready for action."

******

On the other side, Stryker takes Victor to another lab.

This military base doesn't hold many mutants like in the original.

Due to Rune, the number of mutants is very small now, and they are all powerful guys, and it is much more difficult to catch them than in the original book.

Due to the scarcity of test subjects, Stryker didn't want to waste such an excellent test object as Victor, and he was ready to transform Victor into his second X-weapon.

Similarly, Victor also thinks about how to torture Stryker after he successfully injects Edman alloy so that he can recover James.

The two people with their own ghosts are on the surface.

After walking into the laboratory, the experimenters who had been notified long ago were ready.

Victor seemed to inadvertently look at an ordinary-looking experimenter, and then gave him a grim smile.

"The Great Age of Genes"

The experimenter shuddered, then looked at Victor with a hint of pleading.

Victor ignored it, stripped himself naked, revealing his muscular body, and lay down in a lab tank filled with liquid.

After all the experiments were prepared, Stryker decisively ordered.

"Start experimenting."

******

At the same time, a stealth fighter plane passed through thick clouds and came into a valley not far from the military base, hiding under the cover of mountains and forests.

"Jean, did you find it? That information monger can't be fake, right? ”

Wearing the original X-Men combat uniform, Scott couldn't help but say worriedly.

Qin, who was walking behind him, replied affirmatively: "I have probed the memory of that guy, and what he said is true, and he bought the news from a big man at a great price." ”

"I think that guy may have a misremember, how can there be a military base in this barren mountains and mountains."

Scott, on the other hand, didn't trust the intelligence dealer at all, especially when he saw the old man looking at Jean with a gaze that all men could understand, and he wanted to blow his dog's head with a laser beam.

"Alright, Scott, I've already taught that guy a lesson, he can't have that kind of idea in the future, we still need to find a base."

Although they deviated from the original book, Jean and Scott still obtained information about the base through a powerful intelligence dealer.

Of course, with Phoenix Qin here, they didn't spend any money, and by the way, the intelligence dealer who had bad intentions towards Qin didn't dare to have thoughts about women in his life.

Unless there is a mutant like Charles who has psychic abilities to help him.

Scott still seems to be angry, and is about to speak when he is pulled by Jean.

"Shhhhhh

Scott was stunned for a moment, then pricked up his ears.

In the distance, the faint roar of propellers can be heard.
