Talented Flame

Chapter 51 The X Gene Is Not a Curse

"Gone with the Wind" captured Rebecca, and Rewa locked her in a constantly turning device.Her screams echoed day and night in the training room, which made Lorna even more worried about Aurora's safety. In the end, she still decided to send the child to her aunt's house.

Just like her father did to her.

She took the child to the West Lake Apartment to say goodbye to Marcos, but when she arrived, she found that the underground organization was no longer there.So she came to ask me.

How would I know?

Well, actually I do know.

I called Nick, and he took the kid and Lorna into the space where the underground organization now lives, and they left after Marcos said goodbye to the kid.

Andy shares a room with me now, it's just that we both have a tacit understanding that we didn't take that last step.The current situation is really depressing.Andy specifically asked Brother Zhuang to help move his bed to my room. While moving, he muttered why couples should sleep in separate rooms.

……

I felt a little hot on my face, and after thanking me embarrassedly, I didn't speak any more.Looking back at Andy, he didn't respond, and was even happy that he could move in.

Reed's condition is urgent, and a vaccine that inhibits the X gene will be launched if it is not dealt with.Reva decides to postpone the raid on the "Richmond" factory and deal with Madeleine's laboratory first.

She placed people in the laboratory, and sent "Feng Shi" to place a remote gun in the laboratory.In this way, once Reed's treatment is over, all the experimental results will also disappear.

Andy and Lauren are talking over there to send a message as soon as they're done with treatment.At first Lauren felt that this plan was a bit despicable, but probably they couldn't think of a way to get out of it, so they finally accepted it.

The next thing to do is to wait.

Two days later, rumors began to spread on the street: Madeleine Gabel's laboratory had developed an antidote that could eliminate the X gene, and it could be provided free of charge to 1000 mutants who voluntarily went to Charlotte's laboratory, X Genes are no longer an eternal curse.

As soon as the news came out, it undoubtedly added fuel to the current fiery situation. The Purifiers, the government military, and some mutants with unpleasant abilities began to move around; the news was also discussing this matter, and the eradication of human beings The dawn of mutants is not far away.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lauren and the spies planted by Reva came to the news.

Two hours later, when Dr. Madeleine Gabel was invited to participate in a peace speech at the "Human Rights Summit", Gabel's laboratory was damaged by a bomb, and the suppression of the vaccine ended without a problem.

Of course, things haven't all been smooth sailing.

The bomb also killed 37 lives and seriously injured 23 others while blowing up the laboratory.Seven of the mutants were seriously injured, and the rest were all human.Charlotte State University has announced a temporary suspension of classes.

The Purifiers were very dissatisfied with this result. Not only were there no vaccines that could be used as weapons, but the mutants suffered the least among the casualties. They were full of resentment and had nowhere to vent their grievances. They finally turned their minds on the institutions that took in the mutant children, and Get organized and disciplined with mutants.

They were divided into two teams. One team was responsible for mixing with the general population on weekdays and reporting mutants as soon as they were discovered; the other team called itself the "citizen army" and was responsible for destroying groups or institutions that took in mutants in various forms.Once again the noise in the street was appalling and the smoke was billowing.

At the same time, the police radio station monitored by Xian Zhe also took action.The government troops dispatched personnel to arrest mutants on the street because they suspected that some of them had kidnapped humans, and the patrolling guards even got the right to kill them in the street.The suspect targets are hooded men between 177 and 182, red-haired women who can breathe pink smoke, and petite women who can form purple halos.

Oh...John, Sonia and Clarice.

I rubbed my fingers against the remaining rubies in my pocket, and stared at the scene of the fire live on the news, which happened to be the flames from the foster care center for mutant children.

The TV went black suddenly, and Andy pressed the off button on the remote behind me.

"Don't look, there is radiation."

I smiled at him, not knowing what to say.

"The homeland of mutants is not easy," he said.

"If we had done a better job, these kids might not have died."

"Maybe, but I know you have tried your best." He gently smoothed the broken hair on both sides of my forehead, "So don't blame yourself too much. Some things need to be broken and then erected."

"I know, I just... don't want people to die, no matter if they are humans or mutants."

"I understand, I understand you." He looked at me and said.

"Honey, you go back first." I let go of his hand, "I want to stay by myself for a while."

I didn't think I would have the idea of ​​staying in the training room, but I did.

Rebecca kept calling in the machine, and the sound echoed throughout the training room, making people feel sad.

She has been locked up since the beginning, and now she is locked up again when she arrives here.

I look at her in the cage now, and the anger that wanted to kill her at the beginning has long gone.After careful investigation of her behavior, there is nothing wrong with it. It is exactly the same as in the original plot. She still only listens to Andy, only likes Andy, and the first person she wants to share after completing the task is also Andy.What a simple world she had, just herself and Andy.

Cruelty breeds fear.

"Iris," Reva appeared at the door, "not in a good mood?"

"What will happen to her in the end?" I paced up to her, "To die of exhaustion in this cage?"

"If she passes out, we'll give her a glucose shot, don't worry."

"Oh."

"Iris, there is a task ahead, I need you to cheer up."

"I'm trying to pull myself together." I lowered my eyes and refused to look at her.

"Listen, Iris, I know, you don't like to kill. But for those who are still struggling outside, we have to make sacrifices."

"Those guys got tougher today because we robbed banks and bombed labs," I shot back sarcastically.

"That's not because of us."

"is it?"

"It's because humans can't stand the existence of mutants."

"They endured it well before." I looked up at her, "Now the mutants on the street are really desperate."

"One day you will understand," her heel touched the ground, and her voice gradually became distant. "Mutants have dedicated themselves to mankind for so many years, and now there is not even a single human being who knows how to be grateful."
