Chapter 171: The Source of the Antidote
Chapter 171: The Source of the Antidote
The meeting of the Avengers ends.
Clark was assigned a mission to Alcatraz to investigate the ingredients of the antidote.
Since the last time, the Avengers and the Lighthouse Government have taken different sides because of the mutants.
Therefore, the Lighthouse government has imposed a very strict news blockade on S.H.I.E.L.D.
This makes it impossible for S.H.I.E.L.D. to learn about the antidote, the production principle and the principle of action from official channels.
It can inhibit the mutant genes in the mutant human body, so that the mutant can return to the state of ordinary people.
This gave Nick Fury a lot of headaches.
It's certainly good to have a way to limit the abilities of mutants.
However, this method is not in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it is very dangerous.
The interests of the lighthouse can only represent the lighthouse, and most of the time the lighthouse does not care about all of humanity.
The emergence of the antidote has already made mutants begin to feel a sense of crisis.
If the lighthouse wants to force all mutants to be injected with the antidote, then it will undoubtedly cause the mutants to fight back wildly.
The Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D., their attitude towards mutants is to unite forces that can be united, how to mutant colleges.
Suppress and even eliminate extremely dangerous mutants, such as the Mutant Brotherhood.
Magneto's power is obvious to all.
As it stands, if Hulk doesn't make a move, at least Thor and Tony Stark.
Together, two people can contain Magneto.
So the Avengers, you must know the true ingredients of the antidote.
The best for this task is none other than Natasha and Clint.
But the two of them were promoted to S.H.I.E.L.D. agents at the same time, and they usually had a lot of things to do, and there was no way to spare extra time to investigate the antidote.
Dr. Banner can't come forward, and Tony Stark is another well-known playboy.
Thor's unruly personality was not suitable for this task, so the task had to be handed over to Clark.
After receiving this task, Clark immediately thought of Hank the Beast.
Hank, as the head of the Ministry of Mutant Affairs, couldn't have been unaware of the antidote.
The last time Clark and Hank had a good conversation.
Clark believes that Hank is happy to help.
Sure enough, after sending a message to Clark and Hank.
Hank directly invites Clark to the Magic Island Laboratory.
On the helicopter bound for Alcatraz, Clark turned to Hank and asked, "Wouldn't it make a difference if you took me directly to Alcatraz Labs?" ”
Hank smiled and said, "That's not what I meant, it's what Mr. meant." ”
Seeing Clarke's puzzled face, Hank explained, "You are an Avenger, and it is no secret in the entire lighthouse. ”
"The existence of the antidote is regarded as a thorn in the flesh by countless mutants."
"So it needs a lot of extremely strong protection, but in the face of the unchanging people, ordinary soldiers have no way to resist."
"So Sir also hopes that through you, the Avengers will pay attention to this and improve the protective power of Alcatraz."
Clark knew this, and said with a chuckle: "So, sir, I hope that the Avengers will come to work for free." ”
"Hahaha!" Hank smiled heartily and nodded, "But this time, please visit as my assistant." After all, the government still values face. ”
Not long after leaving the mainland, the helicopter stopped straight on Alcatraz Island, which is surrounded by lakes on all sides.
Clark got out of the helicopter and looked around, countless special operators stood in full armor.
Alcatraz was once the lighthouse's most famous prison.
It has imprisoned countless heinous criminals.
Later, because of the development of the antidote, an extremely safe environment was required.
Therefore, this prison, which is the most heavily guarded by the whole lighthouse, has become the best choice.
As soon as Clark and Hank got off the helicopter, Dr. Rao, the head of Alcatraz Island, walked over.
"Minister Hank, welcome to Alcatraz Labs."
"Thank you, Dr. Wind." Hank sighed, "It's not easy to come here! ”
Dr. Rao stepped forward to shake Hank's hand, then looked at Clark next to Hank.
Hank introduced, "This is Mr. Clark, my new assistant. ”
Clark and Dr. Rao nodded at each other, as if they were greeting.
Dr. Rao led Hank and Clark to the lab, "This is the safest place we can find. ”
"So we put the source of the antidote here."
After a while, the three of them entered the laboratory.
Almost every level along the way is guarded by combat personnel.
The level of protection here can be said to be higher than that of the house.
Walking into the lab, Dr. Rao explained, "He's a mutant, and you should be able to understand our concerns. ”
"We are fully compliant with your department's policies."
Before heading to Alcatraz, Hank had spoken to Clarke.
The source of the antidote is a mutant child who has the ability to make other mutant abilities disappear.
That's when Hank asked, "How long are you going to keep that boy in detention?" ”
Dr. Rao replied as he walked, "Until we have fully mapped his DNA."
"We can copy it now, but we can't make it."
Walking to the room in the deepest part of the lab, Clark asked, "What is the scope of his abilities?" ”
Dr. Rao smiled, opened the room with his fingerprints, and said, "You'll see it later."
The door opened, revealing a completely enclosed room.
There was white light all around, and there was only one bed and one game console in the room.
There are lots of toys and snacks scattered around the bed.
In front of the game console, a bald boy about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in pure white clothes, was playing a game.
Dr. Rao called softly, "Jimmy." ”
Jimmy turned around and looked at the two strangers that Dr. Rao had brought with him.
Dr. Rao said gently, "I would like to introduce you to a friend. ”
Hanke walked a few meters closer, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, kid, my name is Hank McCoy."
However, not yet, and when Jimmy replied, Hanke found that his outstretched hand had changed dramatically.
The hand, which was originally covered with blue fluff and sharp nails, was restored to the appearance of an ordinary human at an extremely fast speed.
Hanke stared blankly at his hand and held it to his eyes.
He looked at Jimmy in disbelief and then at his own hand.
Since Hank was injected with the inhibitor he had developed, the mutant gene has gone out of control.
Nearly fifty years have passed since I turned myself into a beast.
When he saw his human hand again, the shock in Hank's heart was difficult to express in words.
Like a child doing something wrong, Jimmy shook his head lightly and said, "I'm sorry." ”
Hank stiffly replied, "It's okay. ”
Hank withdrew his hand, tears glistening in his eyes, looked at Jimmy and said, "You have amazing talent. ”
"Thank you, Jimmy."
This thank you is not for Hank.
It was for Hank, who aspired to become a human 50 years ago.
Jimmy turned around and went back to playing.
Hank, Clarke, and the others also left the room.
At this point, Hank transforms into a human-like hand, and reverts to the form of a beast again.
Dr. Rao smiled and said to Clark, "Extraordinary, isn't it?" ”
Clark nodded, "Yes, it does. ”
Clark and Hank leave the experimental base just as they are about to return to the mainland.
Almost at the same time, they all received messages from Professor X.
"Jean is back, but Scott isn't coming back with her."
