Darkness Rises

Chapter 36 Fire Fist and Thunderbird

"Hey, get up and eat!"

A new day has already begun. In a detention room in the "Mutant Containment Center", a little fat man is urging his new roommate.

John Proudstar got up from the bed and looked around the new environment with vigilant eyes. He is a person with a mission, and he needs to pay more attention to the details here.

"Okay, don't dawdle. Although the food in the shelter is disgusting, those damn bastards will not open the supply. If we go late, we will be hungry!"

Looking at the fat man who was about the same age as himself, but jumped up and down, and was extremely anxious, John shook his head, got up and walked towards the opened iron gate.

"Russell, let's go!"

The two walked through prison-like confinement rooms all the way. Under John's careful observation, they came to the dining room of the detention center.

At this time, the restaurant was already filled with hundreds of mutants, most of them were in normal human form, but there were also some mutants with obvious signs of alienation in their bodies.

There are even some mutants who don't look like human beings at all!

But without exception, they all wore black "restraining collars" around their necks, eating breakfast under the eyes of countless guards around them.

Following Little Fatty Russell, John took a plate for breakfast, but seeing the mushy food that looked like vomit, simple vegetable salad and potatoes, he immediately lost his appetite.

Russell looked at John's disgusted expression, and said in the tone of someone who has been there: "Okay, I advise you to get used to it quickly, every meal here is so disgusting, if you don't want to starve to death, Just close your eyes and swallow!"

John shook his head, pushed the plate away, and motioned for himself not to eat.

The main reason is that he knows that he won't stay here for a long time. He believes in the promise made by the boss. After going out, wouldn't it be nice to have a big meal?

Let's feed these disgusting things to the dogs.

Russell knew that he couldn't persuade his new roommate, but reality would teach him to be a man. At this time, he changed his expression, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "John, do you want to join the gang?"

"Well, what do you mean?" John was a little dazed.

"Ha, you don't know that!"

Seeing that his roommate didn't understand, Russell immediately recovered his confident look, and said in a tone of someone who had experienced it: "John, all our mutants here are limited in ability, no matter how powerful you used to be, in Here is an ordinary person.

According to the rules of the shelter, we must choose a strong boss to follow and join his gang in order to have a certain status here! "

"Like this?"

John's answer was very perfunctory. He was an out-and-out gang member, and he even had his life on his hands. He was too lazy to play this kind of game here.

"Ok!"

Russell's answer was very serious: "My uncle once spent three years in prison, and he told me that if you go in, you must talk to the gang, otherwise you may have to contribute chrysanthemums to survive!"

"Forehead……"

The corner of John's mouth couldn't help but twitch, no matter how many important things he had in his mind at the moment, but hearing such words, he still felt nauseous.

"Tell you, whoever dares to treat me like this, I will definitely beat him to death!"

John's expression was very fierce: "My strength is very strong, not ordinary!"

"Ah!"

Russell cast a disdainful glance at John, and said mockingly, "It's useless, you don't know the collar on your neck, that's how strong you are!"

As he spoke, Russell shook the restraining collar around his neck fiercely.

"It's very sensitive to mutant abilities, even if that gift has been integrated into your body, like your great physical strength.

But as long as you want to use more force than your body muscles can normally use, then this collar can detect abnormalities extremely sensitively, and then it will release a strong current.

There are a few mutants here who are gifted with super strength, but no matter how many trucks they could lift, they can only live like ordinary people now.

Therefore, we must find those who are already very strong and get their protection! "

Hearing this, John was silent for a while. He didn't expect that the suppression collar was so sensitive and powerful.

It is indeed a mutant killer!
Who the hell did this research? John swore that if he had the chance, he would make that person pay the price.

"See those three people over there?"

John came back to his senses, followed Russell's gaze, and found three burly black men sitting in the center of the restaurant.

"Shall we hang out with them?"

"No, don't go to them, they are a bunch of bastards, I just want to hang out with them, I can give them advice, and rule here by the way.

But they laughed at me and beat me up! "

Listening to Russell's angry words, John was speechless for a moment. He felt that if he changed his position, he would also beat up the little fat man in front of him.

"I have a new goal today, can you see that guy in the corner?"

"Is that a person?"

John was very surprised, he had never seen such a "person".

Beside the dining table in the corner of the restaurant, there is a strange creature eating alone. It is a big green bug with a height of more than two meters. It looks a bit like an alien, with a solid carapace exoskeleton.

He just sat there quietly, but no one dared to approach him.

"See, it's a lonely, alienated mutant, if we can be his friends, he will protect us.

A lonely person like him is longing for friendship, that's us! "

John was completely powerless to complain, why did he have such a weird roommate, but in order to stop his noise, he still had to accompany him to this terrible big bug.

"Hey, garbage bug, can we have dinner with you?"

"roll!"

John's eyes were completely opened, and in just two sentences of dialogue, he completely learned the little fat man's ability to mess things up.

Are you sure you're here to make friends?
It's for a fight!

"No, garbage bug, you may not understand, we, want to have dinner with you, we can be your friends."

"Go away, trouble me again, and kill you!"

Things didn't develop according to Russell's vision, or things never developed according to his vision!
"Hahaha, little fat man, I'm looking for the boss again, but no one wants you, an idiot."

The unscrupulous laughter came, and Russell's already ugly face completely darkened.

Turning his head, he saw several half-children who were also fourteen or fifteen years old, especially the black-haired boy in the middle, looking at him mockingly.

But what made Russell even more uncomfortable was that among those young people, there was a beautiful girl with green hair who was looking at him with bright eyes, but her face was full of impatience.

crackle!

Like a bolt from the blue, Russell was ashamed in front of the girl he liked.

"Marcos Diaz, I'm fighting with you!"

The little fat man rushed up like crazy, but was pushed down by the opponent. He lost his mind, turned over from the ground, and began to mobilize the abilities in his body.

On Russell's fists, dazzling flames began to radiate.

"Zilla~~~Zilla~~~"

At this moment, the restraining collar erupted with an extremely strong electric current, instantly knocking Russell to the ground, and that fat body could only twitch helplessly on the ground.

"Russell!" John rushed over anxiously.

And Marcus also knew that he had caused trouble, so he just cursed "idiot" pretending to be calm, and left with his people.

The big green bug also got up and left when he saw a guard in black uniform coming up.

Only John looked at the little fat man who was twitching in pain, with an angry light shining in his lowered eyes.

He wasn't at the mutant teenagers, he was angry at the "Mutant Asylum Center" that caused all this!

"Ah~~~ It's over!!!"

In the prison-like confinement room, through the iron bars, one can see that Russell is going crazy, beating the bed and the toilet crazily.

"Okay, if you continue like this, you will only be hurt!"

"What to do, I'm done, I'm too embarrassed in front of Lorna, she definitely doesn't want to see me again, ah!!!"

John asked curiously, "Do you like that girl?"

"I don't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!"

John rolled his eyes. Originally he was worried about Russell's body after being hit by a strong electric current, and then wanted to comfort his hurt soul.

But now I find that this is a pure joke.

"By the way, I figured it out!" Russell suddenly put on a wise expression.

"what happened again?"

"I'm no longer a licking dog!"

"what???"

John really couldn't keep up with this talent's jumping thinking.

"Let me tell you, it is rumored that in the deepest part of the containment center, there is a most powerful and terrifying mutant. I want him to be my boss!"

Russell really thought he was wise.

"FUCK!"

John, who never swears, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and cursed in his heart.

"Hey John, have you made a friend here yet?"

A figure suddenly appeared, looking at the two young men with a smile on his face through the iron railing.

"Mr. Hammer!"
