"Tsk"

Looking at the picture inside the surveillance, Zhang Yu's mood was a little mixed.

This scene reminded him of mutants in the Marvel world, and those guys who have obtained superpowers through genetic mutation are not accepted by humans, and many humans are full of disgust for mutants.

Among them, even more excessive are undoubtedly those forces who try to control these superpowers and take them for themselves.

In the Marvel Universe, there are countless forces hunting mutants all the time and conducting various human experiments on them that destroy human nature.

These people don't think of mutants as their fellow citizens at all, they seem to treat them as freaks or animals, cutting off their bodies at will, destroying their spirits, and using all the chemicals on them in order to destroy this new race.

And in the universe of the black-robed pickets, how could it not be so.

Although the transcendents here were created by the Walter Group through the No. 5 compound, and were not born with genetic mutations, it is precisely because of this that the methods of the Walter Group's research on them are even more unacceptable.

In the eyes of the Walter Group, all human beings are guinea pigs in the laboratory, and those transcendental beings created by them are not even called 'works', they are completely tools for them to accumulate wealth and fight for power.

No matter how painful and desperate the mutants in the Marvel world are, at least they still have two leaders who are willing to stand up, and although they don't agree with each other, they are still working hard for this race.

They are a combination of mutant forces, and in different ways they are continuing their race, and they are constantly trying to integrate into this society.

But here in the black-robed pickets, almost all the transcendents are scattered, and they can't tell what is good and evil, and they don't understand what these superpowers mean to them.

These transcendents are like duckweed in a storm, and they don't even have the idea of resisting except to be alone in the storm caused by the Vought Group.

Transcendentals, in the final analysis, are just human beings, and the most powerful power of the Walter Group is to use various weaknesses in human nature to brainwash and manipulate these transcendents for their own use.

They divide the transcendents into various ranks, and the transcendents of any kind of power will be influenced by the Walter Group in the environment from childhood to adulthood, and become a part of this rule.

While the other transcendents were changing glasses in the palatial hotel, they didn't care that somewhere in the world, there was a group of superpowers like them who were suffering inhuman pain in a dark cell.

Or in other words, even if they knew, they didn't care if something didn't happen to them.

Sitting in front of the computer, Zhang Yu's fingers tapped on the keyboard, bringing up all the transcendent archives of this research institute.

There are a total of twenty-seven transcendents here, of which nineteen are transformed from adults, but compound number five is not genetically stable and is at risk of dying at all times.

It can also be seen from the archives that there were a total of forty-three transcendents at the peak of this place, but they all lost their lives due to genetic instability.

The people who remain here now are basically those who have just been transformed, and the longest injection period among them has not exceeded half a month, so they are still in the observation period.

In addition to these people, there are some more dangerous superpowers, who have completely activated their superpowers, but the control is not stable, and once they run outside, it will definitely cause a terrifying effect.

And this is also the result that the Walter Group wants to see the most at this time, they lock up these transcendents who have great destructive power and can't control their abilities here, and constantly torture them, making him full of anger and misanthropy.

When the critical moment comes, Walter will send these people out one by one, and let them act as 'super criminals' who destroy the peace and become a stepping stone for the Super Seven.

Originally, Walter's plan was exactly what it looked like.

But what they didn't expect was that in order to win Madeleine's praise, the Motherland guy secretly gave Compound 5 to terrorists around the world, so that those people awakened their superpowers.

Therefore, the Walter Group can only focus on dealing with the super-powered terrorists in the border area first, and these guys who were originally used to be supercriminals continue to stay here.

Leaning forward, Zhang Yu's eyes locked on the documents on the computer, looking for useful information one by one.

But he searched for a long time, and he didn't find any clues about compound five, it seems that the data should be stored in the laboratory or somewhere, and it should not be possible to find it with the computer in the monitoring room.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu withdrew his stool and prepared to get up and leave this place.

At this moment, the door behind him suddenly unlocked automatically and was opened from the outside with a bang, and the next moment, the sound of a lighter came into Zhang Yu's ears.

"Don't move! Raise your hands or I'll burn your face to wax. ”

The man whispered, and at the same time, Zhang Yu also felt a wave of heat coming from behind him.

"Okay, I don't move, don't be nervous"

Zhang Yu turned his back to the other party, looked directly at the computer in front of him, and slowly raised his hands.

"Professor Smith took a leave of absence, I personally sent him out of here, I watched him get into the car, you are not Professor Smith, who the hell are you?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you're a lamplighter, right?" Zhang Yu did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

At this time, Zhang Yu had already realized the identity of the person behind him, and the person who could act at will in this research institute and also used a lighter as a weapon was no one else except the lamplighter.

Hearing Zhang Yu's words, the lamplighter's emotions immediately became excited, he held a lighter in his right hand, and his left hand was facing the flame, as if he was about to release the flame in the next moment.

"Now I'm asking you, answering my question!"

"Okay, don't get excited, brother, don't get excited."

Zhang Yu stood up slowly, in order not to alarm the other party, so his movements were very slow, and his hands were kept high, showing that he had no intention of resisting at all.

"Who the hell are you?" The lamplighter looked at Zhang Yu vigilantly, he was ready, but whenever the other party made any rash moves, he would directly release the flames.

Hearing the question of the lamplighter, Zhang Yu did not answer directly, he smiled slightly, turned around slowly, and showed his face in front of the other party.

When the lamplighter saw Zhang Yu's face, he was instantly stunned.

Because the other party's face is exactly the same as his own, no, it can't be said to be exactly the same, the other party seems to be younger than himself, and the sideburns on both sides have not yet grown gray hair.

"Hi buddy, you can call me Bobby." Zhang Yu smiled.

After a moment of panic, the lamplighter immediately reacted, and with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, he said coldly.

"Well, a superpowered person who can transform into other people's appearance, do you think I haven't seen it before, there's a dead fat man like you in the Vought Building."

"What? Oh no, you don't think I've become you, you're misleading, I just think it's funny, you're still the one you hate the most. ”

At some point, Zhang Yu's empty palm flipped over, and a card appeared in his hand as if by magic.

The card depicts a man who looks exactly like the Lamplighter, with a beard, special gloves, and a blue jacket with a distinct 'X' on his shirt.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, but you'd better be honest with me, get on the ground, and now!" The lamplighter roared.

"You know, St. John Allardyce's expression would be wonderful when he saw you now?" Zhang Yu looked the lamplighter up and down and said with a smile.

Hearing this, the lamplighter gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and spoke seriously.

"I'll put you on the ground, it's the last warning!"

"Otherwise, how are you going to use the lighter of your fake Burning Man superpower to light a cigarette for me?"

Seeing that the other party didn't listen to himself at all, and still said something he didn't understand, the lamplighter couldn't suppress his temper anymore.

"You forced me."

With a wave of the lamplighter's left hand, in an instant, the flames on the lighter burst suddenly, turning into a terrifying flame like a fire dragon and directly devouring Zhang Yu.

Originally, the lamplighter was still curious about what the other party was about, and he just wanted to interrogate this superpowered person to see if he could get some useful information from it.

But now, he can only control the other party first and then interrogate him strictly.

In order not to burn the other party directly, the lamplighter didn't even burst out with his full strength, he just wanted to give the other party a full body burn, and then make plans when the guy had no ability to resist.

However, instead of going his way, the sound of flames burning flesh and skin did not appear, but a white mist erupted violently.

"Wardfack?!"

This is the first time this has happened to the lamplighter.

He looked in the direction of that person for some reason, and then the power of the flame in his hand instantly increased, and now that he encountered such a bizarre situation, he had no idea of capturing the other party alive at all.

Faced with such a strange situation, the lamplighter only wants to burn the other party to charcoal.

Fierce flames filled the monitoring room, and the intense heat directly melted everything else in the room, and even the walls burned black and white.

In the midst of the flames, Zhang Yu's voice sounded again.

"To borrow Bob's words"

The lamplighter's face changed suddenly, and then, before he could react, an arm made of ice stretched out from the flames and grabbed his hand holding the lighter.

Then, a biting chill hit, the lighter was covered in frost, and the flames in the sky disappeared at this time.

Looking at the figure in front of him, which was made of frost that was no different from himself, the lamplighter stood still.

Without the flames, he couldn't use his superpowers at all, and could only watch as the other party raised his fist and smashed it at him.

"You really should go to school!"
