Chapter 111: The Dust Settles
At this point, the results are already obvious.
It is almost impossible to continue the Sentinel program and the X weapon program.
The funds needed for the Sentinel Project are too huge, and not everyone in the World Security Council has money, especially countries S and B, which are so poor that they still need to come up with such a huge amount of funds, which is too heavy a burden on them.
Although the cost of the X weapon program is relatively low, it is too cruel, and it is not a problem that all mankind is anti-mutant now, but after a long time, those so-called peaceful people will jump out and make trouble, which may affect their careers.
Weighing the pros and cons, isolating mutants from the world and maintaining a certain degree of force deterrence against them has almost become the best approach.
Small kiosk
As a small country with no sense of existence, Ania does not have any "power to resist" at all.
The Luska Group is also "powerless to stand up to" the World Security Council, and it is only a matter of time before it "falls apart".
However, under the "threats" that Bernick writhed around and even announced to the world, the World Security Council finally agreed to keep Aniah's only window to the outside world, which was Luska Industries.
No mutant can offend the Ania government and the Luska higher-ups.
In addition, all of Luska Group's businesses are to be "sold", especially the "reconstitution" formulations.
In contrast, since Ania has made such a great "sacrifice" for all mankind, the World Security Council must provide Ania with financial and material assistance.
At this point, the mutant thing is almost closed.
As for whether mutants agree or not, it's not for them to decide.
Disagree?
Then don't blame the sentry bots for coming to the door.
When the results were announced, the vast majority of people accepted them, except for ......
"What do these damn politicians want to do? Isn't it their intention to kill mutants in any way? What is it now? They do the good guys, we do the wicked guys, and now we want to dissolve the Scientific Investigation Bureau, are they idiots? ……”
The once clean and tidy director's office is now in shambles, and Carter is still in a state of rage, punching and kicking the only intact desk in the office.
Fury stood quietly in the doorway of his office until Carter seemed to have almost vented.
"Director, it's just a change of name, it's just a stopgap measure, and this is also to plug the mouth of mutants."
"No~ Fury, you don't understand, it's not just as simple as changing a name."
Carter shook her head, her instincts telling her that it was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
"This matter is definitely inseparable from that guy, otherwise why don't so many places choose Ania instead."
"Director, are you a little too worried, that's the World Security Council, if he has so much energy, the Luska Group will not fall apart, I heard that Ania will build a 'wall of siege', once it is built, Ania will be completely cut off from the outside world, and Luska Industry will also operate under the supervision of the World Security Council, no one can come out of it, it will not do him any good at all, why should he do this?"
Fury disagrees with Carter's idea, and this is the first time he has a disagreement with Carter.
Carter opened his mouth, Fury made a lot of sense, it didn't do Rune any good at all, no one would be stupid enough to do a series of things that were not good for him, let alone a guy like Rune.
She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Fortunately, the Sentinel Project and the X Weapon Program have not been canceled, but they no longer provide financial support, and if she wants to continue the two plans, she can only rely on her own way.
In the evening, all the staff were evacuated, leaving Carter alone, and Fury had been going to stay with her, but she refused, she just wanted to take one last look at the place where she had worked for many years.
It was late at night, and Carter reluctantly left the headquarters of the Strategic Scientific Investigation Agency.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to the street, a black car stopped in front of her, and then several expressionless men got out of the car and surrounded her.
"Director Carter, our boss wants to see you."
"Who's your boss?"
Carter's expression remained unchanged, his gaze wandered around, and his right hand quietly touched his thigh, thinking about countermeasures.
But the visitor didn't tell her any routines at all, and a big man standing behind Carter quietly took out a stun baton after getting out of the car, and before Carter could delay time, the sparkling stun baton hit her.
Zizizi~
Carter didn't even have time to scream before he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground in convulsions.
The expressions of several big men remained unchanged and quickly lifted Carter to the car.
The whole process only lasted for a short sentence of dialogue, never more than twenty seconds, and Carter was quietly taken away.
******
Carter woke up to find himself tied to a chair in an empty abandoned factory building, surrounded by strange-looking people staring at her with angry eyes.
Mutants?
Carter's heart sank, especially when she saw an acquaintance.
"Director Carter, it's been a long time."
Dressed in a white leather coat, Emma grinned as she walked out of the crowd's aisle to Carter.
"Emma Frost."
Carter said through gritted teeth, glaring at his bloodshot eyes.
"Looks like Director Carter hates me?" Emma laughed.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened again Carter's composure.
"Hate you? Of course I hate you, and what you do will be hated by anyone with a conscience, especially the spirits of the dead who have died at your hands. ”
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and Emma showed a surprised expression.
"Conscience? Director Carter actually talked to me about my conscience. ”
With that, Emma showed a sarcastic expression and casually threw a stack of materials in Carter's face.
"Then I wonder where Director Carter's conscience is?"
One of the pieces of paper fell on Carter's lap, and when he looked closely, the two children shrank abruptly.
There was a picture on the paper of a number of experimenters, with Carter standing in the middle, and in front of her was a laboratory table on which lay a broken man with his eyes still staring.
Carter was shocked not by the photo, but by the source of the photo.
The man on the bench, she remembers, was a mutant, and this was the first time she had watched the X-weapon experiments live since she took over Stryker's Weapon X program, so she remembered it well.
"You~"
Carter looked up in shock at Emma with a sneering expression.
Weapon X's lab is top secret, and outsiders can't enter it at all, but now Emma has a photo of a top-secret lab in her hand, and the information revealed behind it doesn't shock Carter.
Emma smiled coldly, "It's too late to understand now, Director Carter, let me see if your conscience can make these mutants let you go." ”
After saying that, Emma turned away without looking back, so that she would not explain too much to Carter, and according to Rune, let her go to hell with doubts that can never be solved.
Emma's departure was like a signal, and the mutants who were already ready to move pounced on Carter with bloodthirsty grins.
A terrible scream echoed through the abandoned factory, and Carter, who had been staring at Rune, finally disappeared into the hands of a group of mutants.
When Fury discovers Carter missing the next day, it's too late.
Carter was like evaporating from the world, and there was no news at all.
He suddenly felt that what Carter said at that time was right, and that this matter had nothing to do with Luska, but he had no evidence, and he couldn't protect himself.
As the last person to come into contact with Carter, Fury was taken away for investigation and was not released until two years later due to lack of evidence.
By this time, the world had changed.
