Chapter 262 Mutant Riot
Matt has been feeling very irritable lately. (Baidu search Geli Wenxue.com is the fastest and most stable update) Not only because the work is getting busier, but also because the number of mutants to be managed is getting bigger and bigger. What's more, there's been some mutant-to-mutant friction for the first time in Futurama recently.
At the beginning, a few mutants took some poker dice and other things to entertain themselves because there was no entertainment in the city of the future. This is nothing at all, the city of the future does lack some entertainment items, and not all mutants have the ability to help build the city.
In just one day, the mutants in the bank lost all their principal. Because among those gamblers, there is one who has the ability to see through. This ability has low combat effectiveness, but it is simply the most powerful cheating tool when used on the gaming table.
And this cheating mutant didn't know if he was jealous, but he even used threats and provocations, forcing the mutants in the dealership to bet on their hands and feet. As a result, the person with the clairvoyance ability naturally won, but he didn't let the opponent cut off his hands and feet, but let them redeem it with millions of dollars.
This time, he did too much and aroused the anger of the few sitting in the manor. But at this time, he still spoke out his ability to see through incomparably. In this case, it was tantamount to admitting to himself after being out of the thousand, and he was immediately beaten up.
After this kind of violence happened, it was immediately discovered by the seagulls in the sky, so the punishers were alarmed. By the time Matt came to the scene, the see-through mutant had been severely injured. But since no one died, it was a trivial matter, and a healing potion recovered.
Such an incident looks more like a farce in terms of consequences. Matt also has no way to deal with such troubles. After all, the city of the future has only just been established, and it doesn't even have the most basic laws. It is impossible to directly copy the laws of country M in the cities where mutants live.
However, this situation is also easy to handle. Matt directly expelled these troublesome mutants from the city of the future and threw them back into New York City. The treatment is simple and straightforward, but it doesn't really solve the problem.
Within three days, there were two incidents of friction between mutants in the city of the future. One of the things is relatively simple, which is the issue of racial discrimination among mutants. People of color are discriminated against by white people, and there is another fight as a result.
Matt is so busy now that he simply doesn't think about it so much, and all the troublemakers are driven out of the city of the future. But this time, too many mutants were involved. Moreover, both parties in the trouble felt that Matt was helping the other party, and almost brewed a mutant riot.
In this case, Matt made a decisive decision and directly opened the ability shielding field on the city of the future. All the punishers dispatched and threw all the troublemakers into the newly built prison.
After this incident, the city of the future with a population of only a few thousand,
A thousand people were directly imprisoned. Although there are intelligent robots responsible for managing the daily life of the prisoners, there is no need to waste manpower, but the city of the future, which was already gradually bustling, has become deserted again.
And the next conflict, the problem is even bigger.
It was just a trivial matter, one mutant chose one of the houses facing the sea, and another mutant also took a fancy to the same location. Although the city of the future is very vast, because it is just beginning to be built, there are always fewer buildings in some areas.
This is the location where the friction happened. There is only two or three houses in a large area facing the sea. And when the two fought, no one else was there. By the time Matt arrived on the scene, the two mutants had already started fighting.
After Matt separated the two, he used mind reading to read the memories of the two, and then assigned the house to the one who came first. This was originally just a trivial matter. After all, the resources of the city of the future are very sufficient, and there is no question of telling the truth about who else.
It's just that the development of the matter was completely beyond Matt's expectations. That night, the mutant who was kicked out even gathered a few friends to come to make trouble. By the time the members of the Punisher arrived, they had already killed people.
Murder, no matter what dynasty or country, is a very serious crime. After Matt's two "stability maintenance" operations, these mutants are not clear about the rules of the future city, but they are very familiar with the "spiciness" of these punishers.
They definitely won't just sit and wait to die, so before the Punisher makes a move, they attack the Punisher first.
In this case, even Matt couldn't tell whether they killed on purpose or by mistake. And it was impossible for the Punisher to allow others to attack without fighting back under such circumstances, so after a battle, none of the well-trained Punishers were injured, but two of the mutants died and three were seriously injured.
This time, Matt finally realized that the problem was serious. The death of these mutants who intended to kill or even killed them is no longer important, but the key is that Matt sensed that the consciousness of doubt and fear had begun to appear in the other mutants watching.
In their view, the city of the future is no longer their paradise, but a place that is not much better than the chaotic New York City. Or in some places, New York City is safer, at least there is a legal standard for measuring right and wrong.
At this time, the sentinel robot project of the government of country M was in full swing, and in just a few days, it actually curbed the crime of mutants. The vast majority of mutants are not opponents of sentinel robots at all.
Law and order in New York City is recovering, while things in the city of the future are deteriorating. In this case, most people will choose a more familiar environment as a place to live.
Not long after, for the first time in the city of the future, mutants voluntarily applied to leave. And this situation finally reached Roddy's ears.
Matt reported the recent situation to Roddy in detail with a little embarrassment. I thought that Roddy would blame him for his mishandling, but he didn't expect to hear Roddy say to him: "Matt, you did a good job. This is not your problem, but someone is messing around in the city of the future."
"Someone is playing tricks? Why do you say that?" Matt said a little confused.
"It's very simple. The mutants who can enter the city of the future are all invited by the punishers. You have undergone the most rigorous training and countless tests. I believe in your vision. Even if you misread a few occasionally, the mixed A few mutants come in with low moral character, but there's absolutely no way they could get it wrong by the hundreds."
"You mean, these people are under control and deliberately causing trouble in the city of the future?" Matt also came to his senses after being reminded by Roddy.
"Control is not enough. As long as you exert influence on your emotions, it is easy for a normal person to lose control. It seems that there is a strong telepathy in the city of the future, at least the strongest among the third-level mutants. The kind." Roddy said worriedly.
At this time, the scar-faced boy was lying quietly in his room, with this weird smile still on his face.
