A closed cell on all sides, dark and cold, without any windows, only hard and heavy concrete walls, revealing an inescapable suffocation.

This is what Rojo saw in the surveillance after he arrived in the main control room.

He stood in front of multiple screens, and as far as the eye could see, there were hundreds of surveillance screens like this.

A cramped cell, with old tiles on the floor, a toilet by the window, damp and stench in the air, a rough iron bed against the corner, and a bed board covered with weak cotton pads and thin blankets.

There is a thin figure curled up in the corner, and the long-term experiments and torture have already made them skinny, and the slightest movement outside the door can make them nervous.

"They've built a brutal cave here."

Rojo's pupils constricted, this laboratory was far more terrifying than he imagined, no less than the research institute where Dr. Rice was held, where at least half of the test subjects were only ten years old, and some even didn't.

"These damned demons!"

Next to Logan. Howlett violently became furious, grabbed the trembling staff on the ground, pinched his head, and forced to look at the screen, "Raise your head and take a closer look, you are the real freaks, your hearts have long been corrupted by decay!" ”

"Uncle Wolf, calm down, your wound has just healed a little, don't let the wound tear for him."

Luo Huo hurriedly pulled it, worried that such a scene would make Uncle Wolf lose control, after all, he had been treated like this decades ago, and the woman he once loved was also killed because of the laboratory.

"Logan, calm down."

Eugene also hurriedly stepped forward to pull away Uncle Wolf, and motioned to John to take the person out and dispose of it.

Logan. Howlett got rid of the two, straightened up, and said in a deep voice: "They think they are sheep, and we are labeled wolves, but the reality is quite the opposite."

"That's our norm, but as long as we stick together, we can always get out of this hell. That's why I've called you to join the base, and I have full confidence in you, and I ask you to trust me. ”

Eugene. Phil's face was complicated, and he was a little determined.

"Eugene, you're doing the right thing, you're on the right path."

Rojo felt Eugene's grief and indignation, perhaps he had thought about it before, and Eugene built the shelter, as Lorna said, to allow the race to gain a foothold in the world.

"It's not early."

Eugene looked at the picture on the screen, took a deep breath, and said, "We need to get these poor people out of here before the support arrives." ”

There are four floors in the lab, three or four of which are cell blocks, or cells, and Rojo and Marcos are in charge of the third floor of the test subjects, helping them uncover the restraint collars around their necks and guiding them downstairs to assemble.

The inhibition collar is a special collar designed by the official to imprison mutants, similar to handcuffs, as long as you wear it, you can make mutants lose their mutant ability, as strong as Deadpool can only wait for death if you wear it.

This is the power of technology, in the past, no one could have imagined that mutants would be limited by this kind of thing, but it will not work against omega mutants.

"Who are you?"

When Rojo and Marcos reached the third floor, several people crept out of the cell, because all the iron doors had been opened, but the others still did not dare to come out when they saw the open iron door, fearing that it was another new experiment in the laboratory.

"Don't be nervous, we're here to save you."

Rojo stretched out his hand to signal the others not to be nervous.

"What's going on, what about the guards?"

Several people still didn't believe it, and retreated vigilantly.

"I'll help you untie the collar and go downstairs, and someone will tell you what happened."

Rojo slowly approached a few people, took out the remote control, and pressed the unlock button, and the collar around their necks suddenly fell off.

Several people looked at each other, feeling that the mutant ability was recovering, and gratitude appeared in their eyes, and they chose to believe in Rojo and the others.

When the rest of the cells heard the commotion, they all poked their heads out, and when they saw someone leaving, they also realized that someone had really come to save them, and they ran out one after another.

Someone demonstrates, the rest of the things are much easier, sometimes action, can be more useful than explanations, after a while, the third floor of the building was basically emptied, the rest of the cells were hidden in the cell and refused to come out, most of them were psychologically traumatized, distrustful of outsiders, Rojo and Marcos also patiently went in and untied their collars.

Eventually, the cell fell silent and almost everyone went downstairs, Rojo breathed a sigh of relief, and Marcos' voice came from the deepest cell, "Rojo, there's another one here." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of light that was neither light nor heavy smashed on Marcos, he had to keep retreating, and there were still balls of light thrown out of the cell.

Marcos hurriedly blocked his eyes and let the non-lethal ball of light smash, "Hey, calm down, I'm not a bad person!" ”

"What's wrong?"

Rojo trotted over, the ball of light was not lost, but the cells were locked up from the inside.

It was a thin little girl, about three or four years old, blonde hair and blue eyes, with a white and tender face that was dirty, and those peach blossom eyes were full of fear and vigilance, and in the dim light, the tears in the corners of her eyes seemed to overflow at any time.

When he saw the poor girl, he couldn't help but squat down and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The girl didn't say a word, and the two of them stared at each other with such big eyes.

"She's a little grumpy and keeps hitting me with light balls, but it doesn't hurt, it's just a little numb."

Marcos patted his clothes.

"It's you who are so rude, she's scared."

Rojo could feel the girl's emotions, and he felt that she was extremely reluctant to open the door, and that her hands began to charge up again.

He used telepathy to soothe the girl's emotions, "Don't be afraid, we're not bad people, we're here to take you out of here." ”

The girl still didn't speak, but gathered a more dazzling ball of light in her palm and smashed it at him, but the ball of light didn't hurt, it was a little numb.

"What do you want?"

Rojo asked, but the girl still didn't say a word, helpless, he had to try to read the girl's mind and find out what she wanted from it.

The moment when Rojo focused his attention and touched the girl's heart.

Airplanes!!!

His pupils constricted suddenly, and waves of pain poured into his brain, stimulating his nerves, which was an indescribable pain hidden in the depths of his soul, like a dark abyss, accompanied by a memory.

A year ago, Beth was caught here with her mother and brother, and at that time she had not yet shown mutant traits and was an ordinary child, but the lab believed that her mother and brother had awakened the X gene, and she would theoretically awaken as well.

As a result, from then on, Beth was forced to participate in various brutal experiments and training sessions. At first, the test leaders were smiling, until they believed that only fear could bring out human potential, and it all started with a nightmare. At the age of three, she was thrown into a small, airtight room, and the terrifying noise constantly irritated her. At night, when she curled up in the quilt and fell asleep, she was often suddenly taken away and thrown outside into the dark square, where she was left alone until dawn, and then they cruelly placed her in the deep woods, leaving her alone to spend the whole dark and gloomy night.

That is, when Beth curled up in the dark bushes, thinking of her mother and brother in her heart, crying and trembling with fear, her hands lit up with a faint white light, like a lamp of hope, flashing in the dark environment, and the fear in her heart urged the X gene in her body, constantly stimulating the potential that should not have appeared.

Marcos saw that Rojo's eyes were a little red, and patted him on the shoulder, "Rojo, are you okay?" ”

"Whew!"

Rojo snapped back to his senses, gasped, he shook his head, the empathy brought by telepathy made him deeply immersed in Beth's memories and emotions, he wiped his eyes, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just, I remembered something not very good." ”

"I thought you were asleep."

Marcos breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the girl again, "Open the cell and leave here with us." ”

"Be gentle, let me talk to her."

Rojo hurriedly stopped Marcos, knowing that the reason why Beth refused to come out was because he was afraid that he would be left alone in the wilderness.

Then, he squatted down, faced the girl, and asked softly, "Do you want to go and see your mother and brother?" ”

When Beth heard this, the light in her hand dissipated, and she looked up and down at the smiling Rojo, and spoke for a long time, "Yes." ”

It was also the moment she said this, the tears in her eyes poured uncontrollably, and her eyes were red from crying, "I haven't seen my mother and brother for a long time, can you take me to meet them, even if it's just a glance."

"Absolutely."

Seeing this, Rojo telepathically comforted the girl as he pushed open the door of the cell and reached out to her.

"Thank you."

Beth choked and took Rojo's hand.

"It's finally good."

Marcos was relieved to see the girl holding hands, and at the same time had a new opinion of Rojo, this guy still has such a side, no wonder Lorna is talking about Rojo all over her mouth

Thinking about it, why did he feel a little uncomfortable.

The number of test subjects in the laboratory is a bit large, but the condition of the test subjects is a little better than expected, most of them are in poor physical condition, but only a small number of them are sick in the cell, they give up the idea of leaving, like this situation, Eugene has already seen too much, he chooses to respect the choices of these people, sometimes death is a relief.

"Ninety-two in all."

Rojo came down after Rogan. Howlett walked up and counted the number of people, and also noticed the little dot next to the teenager, who was hiding behind her thighs, looking around vigilantly, "Who is this little guy?" ”

"Beth."

Rojo whispered to Uncle Wolf about the girl, and told him the name of Beth's mother.

"Poor little one, I'll go find her mother."

Logan's eyes were full of pity, and he hurriedly went to find someone, because there were too many people, some of them were on the playground outside.

"Why haven't my mother and brother come yet?"

Beth clenched her fingers, looking around uneasily, raising her eyebrows and looking around with anxiety and fear.

Finally, at the gate, Rogan. Howlett walked in with two men, a thin woman and a young man, who looked anxious.

"Mom!"

"Brother!"

Beth broke free of Rojo's hand and ran almost catapult towards the woman, crashing headfirst into her arms.

Tonight's mission went well, and after rescuing everyone, Eugene quickly evacuated everyone to the deep forest, a makeshift hiding place, waiting for the reinforcements to leave.

It was only after there was no danger that Eugene began to settle the rescued people, but not all of them would choose to follow back to the underground base in New York.

Of the more than 90 people, only seven were willing to go back to New York, some of them chose to leave on their own, and some of them indicated that they wanted to go to Canada, Maine is on the Canadian border, and they wanted to escape from this place completely, go to a place that no one knows, and live for the rest of their lives.

Eugene. Phil understood and agreed to escort them out safely, as not everyone was willing to risk their way to New York.

Soon, Eugene asked John and Jerrys to drive two large trucks, intending to take advantage of the darkness to see them off.

The Beth family also chose to leave.

Before leaving, Little Beth did not forget to run over and kiss Rojo's cheek to say goodbye, her eyes that were originally full of depression now look a little more energetic and clear, and her washed face is like white jade glass, round and lovely.

"Family affection is an eternal bond, and it is so great at all times."

Marcos's tone was filled with emotion and relief.

At the same time, he was a little puzzled, "How do you know that she is looking for her mother and brother?" ”

"Her eyes told me the answer."

Rojo leaned on the pickup truck and watched with relief as Beth left, and the girl waved at him before leaving, her palms glowing with daylight.

After a while, the van drove away.

Logan. Howley tucked his cigar and came up behind him and patted him on the shoulder, "What, you want to go with you too?" ”

"Uncle Wolf, do you know what I'm thinking right now?"

"What?"

"I was thinking, it's time to learn how to be a wolf."
