[Comprehensive British and American] Daniel Phillips

Chap.22 Alkali Lake

The border between the United States and Canada is long, and most areas are guarded by the army. Every vehicle passing through the transit road must undergo strict security checks to ensure that no dangerous goods are allowed to pass.Bucky not only obtained two almost authentic fake passports from the black market, but also went through a series of complete visa procedures. They pretended to be two brothers traveling by car, and under the cover of Daniel's psychological control ability, they successfully left the country. American border.

"The police force in Canada is not as strict as in the United States. We can choose to drive on some major roads." The reassembled minivan has added a GPS positioning system, which is more convenient than holding a paper map. Bucky looked at the time , "Let's find a road hotel tonight and take a rest."

"Okay." Daniel yawned, "I have to make sure those in the warehouse are still alive before I rest."

There are many vehicles traveling to and from the United States and Canada on this road, so road hotels are also very dense.Bucky chose a hotel that didn't look that big but had a lot of traffic. He parked the car in a more secluded corner before saying, "You wait here. I'll open a room first."

Daniel nodded, and after Bucky left, he stretched out his hand and pressed it behind him, manipulating his mental power to slowly infiltrate, searching for the situation of the four people in the warehouse.Perhaps it was because he was controlled by his ability to enter a deep sleep state, the warehouse was quiet, and everyone's thoughts were very stable.Daniel withdrew his hand in satisfaction, took off the necklace hanging on it from the frame of the rearview mirror, put it on, and turned to look outside the car.

A black Chevrolet Impala caught Daniel's attention. This is an antique car produced in 1967, with smooth lines and a high price.Of course, what attracted Daniel was not only because it was a very old-fashioned car, but the familiar feeling from the trunk. He could even describe what was in this car: Cole Special guns, rifles, sharp daggers, and machetes, and there was even blood on the knives that hadn't been cleaned in time.

interesting.Although he could see that the car was wrong, Daniel didn't want to get to the bottom of it. He came to Canada to destroy William Stryker's mutant experiment base. He closed his eyes, diffused his mental power, and felt with the surrounding environment.This place is considered safe for the time being. The people and vehicles passing by are mainly engaged in the transportation industry, which allows them to quickly blend into the crowd without being noticed.

"Don't be dazed." Bucky, wearing a peaked cap, came over and knocked on the window, "Get out of the car."

The weather in Canada is cooler than in the United States, so Bucky's act of putting on gloves did not arouse the suspicion of others.After strengthening the lock of the warehouse, Daniel jumped down and walked side by side with Bucky to the two-story building with an orange-red exterior wall.

At this moment, two people walked up to him.The one at the head was wearing a gray leather jacket, and his cute bow legs made him look a little short. He was still chewing on a hamburger, which made the tall, strong man behind him a little dissatisfied, and kept stopping him from eating while walking .They both had beautiful emerald green eyes, and Daniel had a keen eye for the car keys that the short guy was holding in his hand. It was the black Impala.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing Daniel stop, Bucky asked puzzled.

"It's nothing, I just saw something interesting." Daniel shook his head.In this world of mutants, superheroes, and gods, it should not be a particularly surprising thing to have legendary monsters and monster hunters.

After a short one-night stay, they hit the road again.Daniel noticed that the black Chevrolet had left, and he withdrew his thoughts, returning his attention to the journey.I don't know if he is too sensitive or something is real. After entering British Columbia, he obviously felt a kind of uneasiness, as if someone was patrolling around him with a gun, but his mental strength has already No abnormality was found after expanding the range of nearly one kilometer outward, which made his uneasiness spread further.His uneasiness also affected Bucky. After the discussion, they decided to shorten the rest time as much as possible, and strive to reach Alkali Lake in the shortest possible time.

The remaining three members of the guards had already been dealt with and abandoned there when they passed a forest, leaving only William Stryker, who was getting more and more emaciated, still in the warehouse.He intended to commit suicide on a hunger strike, but how could Daniel make it so easy for him? He controlled William Stryker's thoughts, forcing him to eat the bread and water he sent, and maintain his vital signs until he reached his destination—he For William Stryker to see the work of his life destroyed.

Alkali Lake is located in the northwestern part of British Columbia. It is covered with ice and snow all the year round, and the pine forest spreads into the sea. It seems that there is no edge at first glance.The towering dam by the lake is somewhat damaged due to disrepair. The failure of commercial and tourism development has made this place gradually forgotten. It is for this reason that William Stryker chose to establish a research project here. base.

"I'll take him in first." Daniel's voice came from behind the heavy helmet, "If there is no accident, the camera will be cut off in 5 minutes, and when you come in through the spillway, I will leave a guide for you mark."

"Be careful." Bucky nodded, his face was well covered by the helmet and mask, and the mechanical arm was hidden behind the black combat uniform.

The minivan had been temporarily placed in the pine forest. Daniel's eyes behind the goggles began to turn dark green, and his mental power entered William Stryker's mind, controlling his every move.The haggard deputy secretary of defense began to lose his sense of autonomy, and his every move is now under Daniel's control.

Manipulating William Stryker to use his fingerprints and pupil membranes to open the entrance of the base, because he is the owner of the base, the siren in this place did not sound.Just as the entrance was about to close, Daniel gave another command in his mind to ask William Stryker to cut off the function of the siren.

All these actions seemed perfect. At the first checkpoint, Daniel was able to draw a symbol on the wall with a knife to point out the direction for Bucky who was about to enter later.

"Who's there!" Soon, the figures of the two caught the attention of the people in the main control room, and the security forces were dispatched.

[it's me. ] Daniel replied in his head, while William Stryker uttered the same sentence.

"Mr. Stryker?!" The head of the security force apparently did not expect that William Stryker, who had been missing for many days, would suddenly appear. He picked up the walkie-talkie and talked to the people in the main control room before speaking in Daniel's direction. , "It's great that you're okay. Everyone is waiting for you to come back and preside."

The eager tone made Daniel frowned slightly. He had completely entered William Stryker's mind, controlled the other's body, and said, "What happened?"

"The S-class test subject escaped. Although we are currently hunting it down with all our strength, we still lost track of it."

Daniel noticed that the head of the security force used the word "it" instead of "he." It seemed that in the eyes of these people, mutants were only equated with those animals in the laboratory, not humans.This realization made Daniel a little annoyed. He took a deep breath before saying, "Take me to see."

The messy laboratory has not been cleaned up completely, and the deep scratches and bloodstains on the walls indicate that a horrible massacre took place here not long ago.Daniel couldn't imagine what kind of weapon could have caused such a deep scratch, and a pillar supporting the laboratory was almost severed, and he finally found the answer after a quick search in William Stryker's mind .

One of the most perfect works of the X-Weapon project advocated by William Stryker, Wolverine.Daniel bit his lower lip subconsciously. The escape of the modified mutant caught him off guard, but he quickly restrained his emotions.

"You are all trash!" Daniel said imitating William Stryker's usual tone, "Do you know how much trouble Wolverine's escape will cause me!"

"It's been a long time since I saw you, and you're still full of energy, Stryker." An unexpected voice sounded in the empty laboratory, and Daniel stiffened his body, obviously he didn't expect to see Alexander Pierce here.The other party walked in with a smile, "Look at your distressed appearance, I'm really curious how you escaped."

"Don't worry about it, Pierce, I naturally have my way."

"Really?" Alexander Pierce shrugged his shoulders to get out of the way, and a black figure standing behind the captain of the security force suddenly pulled out a gun and aimed it at William Stryker's head.

Daniel, who felt the same way, let out a cry of pain. He covered his head and took a few steps back, but exposed himself.

"I've always wanted to see you, Daniel." Alexander Pierce pretended to be affectionate, "I've known you for a long time."

The blood flowing from William Stryker's body spread on the stone floor, and Daniel realized that it was a trap. He thought of Bucky, and just wanted to activate his ability to contact him to stop him from sneaking in, but found that no matter what No effort can be made to exert one's own abilities.

"Don't struggle, dear rabbit." The shadow that killed William Stryker took off his mask, and Rumlow's face was exposed in front of Daniel's eyes, "It won't work."

"What did you do?" Daniel was suppressed by the swarming security guards, his helmet and mask were lifted off, and due to the suppressed ability, the dark green slowly receded, revealing his already beautiful gray-blue eyes.

"You made a wrong choice, Daniel." Alexander Pierce said, "This is the experimental base for mutants. There are many people with mutant abilities that you didn't expect. You are careless."

Daniel's heart trembled, and he looked at the boy who was slowly coming out of the shadows.He was very thin and looked less than 1.3 meters tall. There were still scars from the experiment on his pale skin. He looked at Daniel timidly, as if he didn't understand what he had done.

"Let me introduce you," Alexander Pierce beckoned to the boy, showing a smug smile, "This is Jimmy, you can also call him a leech. He can inhibit the display of any superpower, including but not limited to mutants. Also, thank you for kidnapping Stryker, which gives me ample reason to take over the base."
