Chapter 857 Red Pill and Blue Pill

Bob boarded the ferry to Tuvalu with about 200 others. Among them are ordinary travelers and journalists who are exploring Tuvalu. There are also general mutants like Bob who want to join Tuvalu.

Bob saw at least five of them. Because their physical changes are too obvious, for example, a person has gill-like respiratory organs on his neck.

He is probably an amphibious breathable person. But something like fish gills on a man's neck must have affected his daily life. The gill man can't completely cover his gills even if he wears a high collar.

There must be many people who regard him as an outlier. Bob sighed in his heart, because he couldn't see any expressions related to happiness and joy from the gill man's face. He was always frowning and sullen.

It's no surprise that fishy-looking Bob guesses he's had a life of unpopularity. I just have ears that can breathe, and I look no different from ordinary people from the outside. Even so, there are still people yelling at themselves.

Bob felt a little sympathetic to the fish-gill man, but he didn't intend to approach him. Because seeing the bitterness and hatred of the other party, going up to talk to him might arouse the other party's resentment.

There were a couple of other more obvious mutants, and one guy had weird ears. It's like a wolf's ears, but I don't know if there is a wolf's hearing.

There is also a guy whose two arms are abnormally thick, much thicker than his body, and it looks like two giant bear arms are installed on the body of an ordinary person. This one probably has bear powers?

There is also a guy with very sharp eyes, and the shape of the pupil is like that of an eagle. This presumably has eagle eyes?

The last guy walked on two legs strangely, and Bob accidentally observed that he seemed to have recurved legs. Long and powerful, like some cats. Bob wouldn't be surprised if he was as fast as his old Harley.

After all, there are all kinds of mutants. Maybe this person has the speed of a leopard.

Well, with the ears of a wolf, the strength of a bear, the eyes of an eagle and the speed of a leopard, I don’t know if these four people can combine to become [Brest Sheriff] (Note). Oh, if the gill man's ability is also included, maybe Brest Sheriff can have one more [fish's breath! 】

Bob was thinking about these things in a mess, and he was a little uneasy about his future. Is Tuvalu a home for mutants? He has already seen the edge of the island in the distance, and Tuvalu is getting closer.

The gill man and the other five people also walked to the side of the ship. They saw that Tuvalu was approaching, and everyone was breathing heavily.

……………………

"Why do you want to join Tuvalu?" A handsome man greeted Bob and his party. He looks sunny and has a smile on his face. If it weren't for the pair of angel wings growing on his back reminding him that he is also a mutant, Bob must have thought that he had met some well-educated rich man.

Bob knew the man, he'd seen it on TV. An angel known by the media as one of the Queen's Four Horsemen: Warren Worthington.

The gill man was a little envious and even looked at Angel Warren with slight extreme admiration. The other party was also a mutilated mutant. According to the evolution of mutants, Angel Warren could not actually reach the gamma level, that is, Has great abilities but comes with huge flaws. The representative of this type of people is the little rascal.

Warren has wings to fly, and then some ability to speed up injury recovery and some additional small abilities, but it is far from having a strong ability. If it is true, Warren is actually between the Epsilon level (with weak abilities, but with huge defects that affect life) and the Gamma level that has failed in evolution.

Maybe Gill Man can't fly, but his mutant ability allows him to stay in the water for a month without any problem. He can live perfectly underwater, just like a fish.

But the treatment of a fish is very different from the treatment of an angel. The gill man is twenty-five years old, but so far he doesn't even have a girlfriend. Everyone hated the gills on his neck.

And Angel Warren just posted two selfie photos on Weibo, and a bunch of female fans left messages below, expressing their desire to have a little angel with Angel. Countless people think the pair of big wings of the angel are so cool!

Obviously diving is also a cool ability, okay? Why not compare to a pair of beautiful wings? ! They are all mutants, why is there such a big difference in treatment? The gill man despaired of this face-seeking world.

They are both at the Epsilon level, but the side effects of the evolutionary failure of Yugi Man and other five people are much worse than growing a pair of big wings. Nobody thinks they're cool.

So for Warren's question, the gill man was a little uncomfortable: "Obviously, the five of us are not popular. People point to my nose and call me a catfish monster. And the four of them I think the situation is similar. We just want to find a place to live with less discrimination and find a suitable job. My ability is diving. Without equipment, I can dive up to 120 meters underwater. I crush it."

The gill man briefly talked about his ability, which is actually quite amazing. If ordinary people don't wear any equipment, diving to 20 meters is already the limit.

Following the gill man, the eagle's eyes, the wolf's ears, the leopard's speed, and the bear's strength, the four also introduced their abilities. Their reasons are the same as the Gill Man. Although they have mutant abilities, their physical mutations make them unpopular among the general population.

So they want to find a safe haven. When it was Bob's turn, he suddenly became a little speechless. Can you breathe through your ears? Well, compared to the previous five people, Bob thinks he is a fake mutant.

As for the five gill men, ordinary places could not accommodate them, so they chose to come to Tuvalu.

Angel Warren nodded: "Understood. But here I want to provide you with a small choice. Have you seen "The Matrix"?"

As the pinnacle of R-rated movies, the "Matrix" trilogy enjoys a high reputation all over the world, and few people don't know this movie.

Looking at the few people in front of them, they all nodded to show that they knew about the movie. The angel Warren continued: "Now you have two more choices. It's like the choice in front of Neo (the hero of the Matrix). The red pill or the blue pill? You also had this choice once. Opportunity."

"We have created a batch of medicines that can alleviate the sequelae of defects caused by removing the X gene. But the side effect is that the X ability will be wiped out to zero. You will still have the potential X gene in your body, but it will become A state to be activated. So from the existing inspection standards, you will no longer be mutants."

Angel Warren throws out a huge temptation: "Choose one, become a normal person and return to a normal life, or do you want to continue to join Tuvalu?"

Bob looked at Warren in surprise, while the gill man and the other five were breathing more and more heavily.

PS Note: Sheriff Bresta is an American cartoon released in 1987. The protagonist of the animation, Sheriff Bresta, has the strength of a bear, the eyes of an eagle, the speed of a leopard, and the ears of a wolf. This is Submarine Bob's favorite cartoon when he was a child. He thinks it is so cool.

Much better than the crazy SpongeBob SquarePants, the inexplicable My Little Pony and the Powerpuff Girls that are shown to children now! – The above is from the caption from Submarine Bob.
