Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Situation of Mutants [Asking for Recommendation Votes]
"The most important thing at the moment is to find out whether the US imperialist officials are going to officially take action against us, or is this organization formed by some people out of personal interests?"
Although Angel Warren is not very old, he was born in an elite family, but he is more mature and thoughtful than many people present.
"In my opinion, it must have been so long since we were seen that they had forgotten that we existed."
Katie the Phantom Cat lifted the jade hand on the lap of Poppy the Iceman, and said in an unkind tone.
A thin man covered in blue raised his tail and said compassionately, "They must be taught a lesson!" ”
"That's right, I agree with Kurt!"
Colossus was emotional.
"No! The current situation is something that the professor has fought for us with great difficulty, and we can no longer easily provoke a war against humanity. ”
Poppy, the good old man, objected.
"Fart! You're ......" "I think ......" "Katie, you ...... you say something"
Soon, everyone in the conference room was in a mess.
"Enough!"
Scott yelled, stopped the noise of the scene, and said in a deep voice: "Warren is right, the most important thing is to find out the official attitude. ”
Then, he turned his gaze to Cyber and asked, "Mr. Kornat, you were the first to discover this matter, can you share the information you have gathered?" ”
"No problem."
As he spoke, Cyber pulled out a silver cylindrical device the size of a bottle cap out of nowhere, tapped on its surface, and placed it on the table.
Then, the silver-white installation suddenly became crystal clear, glowing with a faint blue light, projecting a virtual light and shadow screen of about 27 inches in front of everyone.
The screen displays a lot of information about the Sentinel Service, such as the address of the headquarters, the exact number of people in the organization, the distribution of the armed forces, etc......
Along with this information, Saibo added: "Although the other party is nominally part of the Louisiana State Party and is a local organization, in reality the backers of this body are Senators Montez and Carmen Clyde in the Senate, as well as Admiral Barron in the military. ”
"Moreover, most of the members of this organization have a strong hatred for mutants, either their relatives have been killed by mutants, or their own interests have been greatly damaged by mutants."
Hearing this, many of the people present silently bowed their heads, no matter how they defended, they could not deny the fact that mutants had brought great harm to this world.
"So, the Sentinel Service is just a tool for some people? Isn't it that the US imperialist officials are specifically targeting us? ”
Bobby the Iceman breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't want to see mutants and humans go to war again.
Cyber shook his head and denied: "It's not that simple, the White House must be happy to see someone come against you, but because of the agreement with Professor Charles, they can't support it openly." ”
"Wait, I've always wanted to ask, where did Professor X and Wolverine go?"
Seeing Cyber mention the leader's name, Lorna finally couldn't bear it anymore and interjected.
From the moment she first entered the door, Lorna felt very strange why the legendary X-Men were only the few people in front of her, and the pillars of Professor X, Wolverine, and Beast Hank were all gone.
Hearing this, everyone's heads were buried even lower.
Only Scott was unaffected, and said after a moment of silence: "Professor, he's retired." ”
"Why?"
Lorna didn't believe that the great man who had given everything for the mutants would leave his students alone and live alone.
Faced with this question, Scott opened his mouth and did not explain further.
"What's so bad about that."
Seeing Lorna's little eyes looking at him, Cyber called up a set of data on the screen, and explained in the eyes of everyone who were about to eat him: "Since the cataclysm eighteen years ago, no new mutants have been born. Without neonatal supplementation, coupled with human repression, the number of mutants is decreasing. According to Alita's statistics, the number of mutants in the world is now less than a thousand. ”
"Professor Charles has spent his life fighting for the future of mutants, but when he discovers that the mutant race has completely lost its future, faith naturally collapses."
Of course, this is Professor Charles's own explanation when he chose to retire.
As for the real reason.
After the incident of Dark Phoenix in 06, the mutant brotherhood under the hands of the people in the scene died and fled, completely in name only.
Many ordinary mutants also chose to be injected with the mutant gene suppression drugs developed by the Worthing laboratory, which led to a significant decrease in the number of mutants and further accelerated the decline of the mutant population.
As a wise man, the old bald man naturally understood that the mutant population was gone, and chose to take the initiative to withdraw from the stage of this world.
Subsequently, the White House also made a rare choice to make concessions, not only destroying the remaining mutant gene suppression drugs and related materials, but also taking the initiative to erase the traces of mutant activities and eliminate their adverse effects on society.
There is no way, anyone who sees the person lying next to him on the pillow in the middle of the night will wake him up and talk in the voice of an old man.
Besides, although the old bald head cannot conquer the world by his own ability, he has the ability to drag all mankind to the end at any time.
Otherwise, do you really think that the group of officials in the white house are so good at talking? Be able to live away from the past, and let the remaining mutants simply go on at ease.
Of course, Professor Charles can also see this, so he decisively resigned from the position of principal of X School, swimming into the sea, choosing to hide in the city, hiding among hundreds of millions of ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Cyber also had to sigh, worthy of being an old fox, ginger is still old and spicy.
With one hand, he retreated as an advance, forcing the enemy to sleep and eat.
As long as one day is not sure whether the old bald man is alive or dead, and because of his obscenity, the old men of the White House and Congress will not dare to act openly against the mutants.
As the only X-Men present who knew the inside story, Scott certainly couldn't stand Cyber's 'slander' against the man who was also his master and father, but he wouldn't tell the cruel truth, so he had to change the topic and said: "Okay, don't talk about these irrelevant things, what enemies do we need special attention to this time?" ”
Sensing that the atmosphere on the scene was a little wrong, Cyber also cooperated with interest, and said: "The other party's ordinary troops don't need to care, they don't pose a threat to you." What's more troublesome is that they have controlled quite a few mutants through some unknown means and formed a special unit. ”
"There are 29 people in this unit, and I will send you the detailed information later. But I can't find any useful information on the Internet about the information of three of them, and the other party's confidentiality is quite good and needs special attention. ”
According to the routine of the previous life of Cyber, this kind of guy often means big trouble.
