The Zombie Emperor in American Comics

Chapter 465 The Antidote
Chapter 72 Antidote

Emma's almost poaching behavior inevitably aroused Charles' vigilance.

But it was just vigilance. After calming down, Charles still felt a little lost, but looking at it from another angle, this might not be a way out.

As his own abilities were completely exposed, Charles had a sense of urgency and crisis in his heart. He could imagine that the US government would definitely not let him go.

The most obvious point, Charles can now clearly feel that the U.S. government has increased its surveillance of the X Academy and even the X-Men both openly and secretly.It's just that this kind of monitoring is within the default red line of both parties, so it's hard for him to do anything.

Therefore, while Charles is trying to change the current predicament, he also has to prevent that once things develop to the point of no return, he must find a way out for the entire X Academy and the X-Men, and the mutant created by Emma The Garden of Eden is the most suitable choice.

In particular, after Charles personally visited the Mutant Eden, in addition to being able to personally feel the favorable conditions and environment, he also clearly felt that Emma, ​​like himself, was sincerely working hard for the Mutants. That's enough.

Compared with his good friend with an extreme personality, Charles is more appreciative of Emma's approach in maintaining the mutant community. If he had to make a choice, he would definitely choose Emma.

Of course, those are all cases of doing badly, and it is obvious that it has not reached that level yet.

But despite this, in the next six months, Charles became more active, allowing X Academy to actively communicate with Emma's mutant Eden.Even, 3 batches of international students have been sent.

I just don’t know how many of these 3 batches of international students are willing to return to Academy X afterwards...

The time is long, and the peaceful half a year passed by unconsciously.But obviously, the closer to the arrival of the new era, the less likely the world will remain peaceful forever.

In fact, as early as a few months ago, the calm was only on the surface, but in fact, there was an undercurrent surging in a corner invisible to the world.

Worthington Industries, one of the Fortune 500 companies in the world, is also a well-known large enterprise in the United States.But few people know that its successor, Worthington III, is also a mutant. As early as 10 years ago, a pair of wings in the shape of a mythical angel grew out of his back.

But in the eyes of Worthington III's father, Worthington II, this is not something to be happy about, because Worthington III has never learned how to control his own abilities, so he can't send and receive at all. This can only allow him to live a life away from the crowd.

The reality is so cruel, whether it is an angel or a demon, the general environment of the world is to reject mutants.

However, Worthington II did not give up on his son, and his love for Worthington III was still the same as before, but in his heart, an obsession had already arisen, that is to get rid of the X gene in Worthington III's body, so that He can live a normal life.

To this end, Worthington II has been working tirelessly.It's a pity that in the past ten years, he has spent a lot of manpower, financial resources and material resources, but in the end he has made little progress.

No way, not everyone can achieve astonishing achievements in X gene research like Bolivar.But even if he wants to clear the X gene in the other party's body without harming the other party, it is impossible.

More than a decade of hard work has not yielded any results, and fortunately Worthington Industry has enough background, otherwise it would have been dragged down by Worthington II's willful actions.

But even with Worthington's background, after consuming such a large amount of manpower, financial and material resources, it will inevitably have a serious impact. The industry and power will shrink severely. It has not yet fallen out of the world's "Fortune" 500. Already lucky.

And just a few months ago, the U.S. government sent a mutant named Jimmy to King Worthington II in an extremely secretive way. This was the research that had kept him stagnant. With breakthroughs, a vaccine that can suppress the X gene in mutants is about to be developed.

This vaccine was called the "antidote" by Worthington II!Although the current "antidote" is not perfect, if the mutants are willing to take it for a long time, they can still completely clear the X gene in their body and return to a normal person again, and in the process, it will not cause any harm to themselves. damage.

Why is there such an earth-shaking reversal?The key lies in Jimmy, a mutant child. His ability is very simple, that is, any mutant ability is ineffective against him, and within a certain range, he can also disable all mutant abilities of mutants.

I have to say that the U.S. government is really ruthless, and wants to completely "kill" all mutants directly from the source.

Moreover, the U.S. government has not personally stepped forward in this matter, but only put Worthington III in the foreground, and they only need to contribute to the flames behind the scenes.Even if there were any accidents in the middle, they could easily withdraw, so as not to completely anger the mutant group, and then break out of a full-scale war.

As for the accident, that is inevitable. For the mutant group, the "antidote" can be said to be the scourge of genocide.

It is true that due to the influence of the real environment, the living environment of mutants is extremely harsh, so once the "antidote" is available, there will definitely be many mutants who are willing to abandon their status as mutants and become normal people again.

Not to mention, those Ipsilon-level mutants have weak abilities and major flaws, and even life is very difficult. They have long wanted to get rid of their identity as mutants.According to rough statistics, mutants of this level account for 20% of the entire mutant population.

Even the powerful Beta-level mutants have similar problems.For example, "Mystique", "Red Devil", "Beast" and "Nightcrawler", etc., their images do not look like normal human beings, which will inevitably cause a lot of trouble to their daily life.And who's to say they haven't thought about getting out of this bad situation?

Therefore, for a considerable number of mutants, the "antidote" really exists like a gospel, and can make their lives better, or at least normal.

But everything has two sides. If there are mutants who want to get rid of their mutant identity, they will naturally not lack the pride of being a mutant, and this part of people will probably occupy a larger proportion.Facing the "antidote", they will inevitably rise up and resist...
