Chapter 160 Pre-Meal Exercise

While Kevin, Logan and others were on a spontaneous trip, the abandoned reservoir in the middle of the wilderness was surrounded by the Alkali Group.

They followed Donald's life signal and came here, but they saw this tragic scene.

Corpses were everywhere, and no one survived.

An elderly man in a beige windbreaker was squatting next to Donald's body and frowning.

A security member explained to him:

"Mr. Pierce's death was the same as those people outside. His brain was crushed by an unknown object. We initially inferred...it might be a mutant ability."

"Maybe?"

Listening to the uncertain words of the security member, Sander Rice looked up at him.

Being looked at by the supervisor like this, the security member Anming was a little nervous, and he immediately explained:

"Because from the traces of the headless body at the scene, his head exploded from the inside out. According to the analysis of the investigation department, the damage that could have been caused was either an explosion caused by inconsistent internal and external pressures, or... someone installed a bomb in his head.

"But no traces of gunpowder were detected at the scene, so we made a preliminary judgment that the cause of this injury was either someone using strong pressure to blast, or someone moved an unknown bomb into his head...

"But no matter which one, it proves that it was done by mutants."

"In other words, now a mutant who is not on our record has appeared, and killed Donald and rescued 23, is that right?"

Sander stood up and asked.

The security guard nodded:

"At present, this is the only possibility."

"Are you sure there is no similar ability in our experimental subjects?"

"...Sir, you are responsible for the experiment, you should know that we don't have such dangerous mutants at all, even if there are..."

The security guard didn't say anything else.

The 'weapon plan' studied by the Alkali Group will strictly control their mutant abilities in order to ensure that these 'weapons' are absolutely controllable.

Dangerous abilities like this that can make people's heads explode without any signs will not appear in the plan list at all, and they don't have mutant genes with similar abilities.

"At this stage, can mutants with such abilities still appear?"

Sander muttered to himself.

He is the scientific research director of the Alkali Group. He is the person in charge of the genetic food that weakens mutants and the mutant weapon manufacturing plan.

There have been no new mutants born in this world for 25 years, all of which are his 'credit'.

Because of this, Sander is very sure that there will be no powerful mutants in this world.

Even the X-Men, before they died in an accident, their abilities were weakened to a certain extent.

Otherwise, they would not have all died in battle due to Professor X's illness.

At least a few of them can definitely run away if they want to.

For example, Quicksilver.

Obviously, the world is so peaceful, but now an unknown powerful mutant has appeared. It is no wonder that Sandel feels strange.

After all, this world no longer has the environment for such powerful mutants to exist.

"X24 doesn't look like a match for this mutant."

Sandel continued, but he didn't say it to the security guard next to him, but was still talking to himself.

X24, a clone created through the genes of Wolverine Logan, has the same appearance and abilities as Wolverine, but is much weaker than Wolverine in his prime.

Although he also has healing abilities and adamantium in his body, if he faces Wolverine in his full form, X24 will definitely lose.

Originally, when all mutants have been weakened by genetic food, X24 is a powerful opponent for any mutant, and the old and weak Wolverine is not a match for X24.

But the new mutant that has appeared now seems to just restrain X24's ability.

Being able to directly destroy the human brain through the body is an extremely dangerous and defenseless ability for any carbon-based creature.

Even if X24's self-healing ability is close to that of Wolverine, he can basically not survive if his brain is destroyed.

And even if he can guarantee survival, it is meaningless. The mutant who destroyed the brain can destroy the brain once, and he can destroy it a second time, a third time, and countless times.

If the mutant cannot be found and his ability cannot be analyzed, then no matter who faces him, the final result will be only one.

That is death.

Sandel thought of a lot, and at the same time he also developed a strong interest in the new mutant.

Being able to give birth to powerful abilities in this environment proves that he probably has more X genes in his body than any other mutant.

His ability is also stronger than that of mutants.

Level 4 is definitely not his limit. Perhaps he is an Omega-level mutant that only exists in theory.

Even compared to the newly emerged mutants, he was no longer interested in X23 and other experimental subjects.

"Try to track them down, but don't alarm them after tracking them down. Don't do anything before I think of dealing with the mutant."

Finally, Sander ordered.

The enemy's ability is so powerful and defenseless, it would be stupid for him to let people go and cause trouble without any preparation.

...

While the Alkali Group was worried about the group of corpses, Kevin and Caliban were sitting in the car leisurely watching the sunset.

They had stopped the car at this moment and stayed at a farmer's house.

This is what happened.

When everyone was driving to the next town, they almost had a car accident on the road because the unmanned truck automatically changed lanes.

During this period, another family's car also deviated from the route and rushed into the dirt road on the side.

The horses they were transporting behind them also ran out of the cage and ran around on the road.

Logan didn't want to help, but Charles had a different opinion. Logan and his friends had no choice but to help the farmer get the horse back.

Because of their help, unnecessary losses were reduced. The farmer's family was very grateful and warmly invited Kevin and his party to rest at their home.

Then, it became like this.

Logan, Charles and Laura helped the farmer prepare dinner in the house. In order to avoid being too crowded inside, Kevin and Caliban chose to stay in the car to watch the sunset and wait until dinner time.

In the evening, the dim sunlight gradually fell from the horizon. Caliban sat in the co-pilot, watching the gradually setting sun, and whispered:

"This feeling now is not bad."

"What do you mean?"

Kevin was lying on the roof of the car, and after listening to Caliban's words, he asked curiously.

Caliban said:

"I'm talking about this feeling of relaxation. You know, this is the first time in so long that I feel that being alive is such a good thing."

Only after experiencing death can you understand the preciousness of life.

Caliban, who was almost used as a human detector by the Alkali Group and almost treated as a vampire and was pushed out to the sun, felt this way at the moment.

"Does it feel good now?"

Kevin crossed his legs, moved his sight to a certain place outside the farm, and asked Caliban with a chuckle: "Do you want to have a better feeling?"

Caliban: "?"

Caliban just said it casually, and when he heard Kevin say that, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and he hurriedly said:

"...Actually, what I want to say is that a peaceful and stable life like now is what I want, and I have no other ideas."

"It doesn't matter whether you have other ideas or not, what matters is that I have an idea now."

Kevin jumped out of the car, regardless of Caliban's argument, pulled him out of the car, pointed in a certain direction and said:

"Over there...at that location, can you sense the existence of mutants?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, how could that location..."

Caliban was about to answer, but he immediately froze in the car, looking at Kevin with a slightly dull expression.

Seeing his look, Kevin understood what was going on. He smiled at Caliban:

"There are mutants, right?"

"This... is impossible, no, how did you know there were mutants over there?"

"I guessed."

"Guessed?!"

"Yes, I just saw some... interesting things, and thought there might be mutants. I didn't expect that I guessed right."

Kevin turned his eyes to the distance.

Just now, he saw a small surveillance drone flying in the sky.

At this time, it goes without saying who is using a small surveillance drone to observe here.

The Alkali Group did not find Logan like in the movie, and directly brought a large group of people to cause trouble. Instead, they chose to observe from a distance, and observed this place from a position that ordinary people could never see with their naked eyes.

Even if Kevin's five senses had not been significantly improved due to the upgrade of his physique, Kevin would not have noticed the black spot in the sky.

It was already dusk, and it was about to be night. The eastern sky was already full of stars. Against such a background, who would care about a tiny black dot rising into the sky?

But unfortunately, Kevin was not a pure mutant, and he had more than one ability.

However, the Alkali Group's actions made Kevin look up to them.

They didn't immediately run up to die, which was indeed commendable.

But unfortunately, Kevin was not the kind of person who would ignore threats. Since they dared to peek at him, they had to be prepared to be found by Kevin.

"...You...are you going to find that mutant?"

Caliban didn't know what was going on. From his perspective, Kevin suddenly said that he wanted to find a 'better feeling', and then mentioned the mutant to him.

Caliban didn't even know whether the mutant was a friend or foe, but he could probably guess that Kevin wanted to find the mutant in the distance.

"Of course." As expected, Kevin smiled and responded, "And if I guess correctly, that guy should be our enemy, so... do you want to have fun with me?"

"The enemy... is it the Alkali Group you mentioned? No, we have to tell Logan about this..."

When he knew that it was Alkali's people coming, Caliban immediately turned his head and wanted to inform Logan and Charles at the farmer's house.

But he was grabbed by Kevin as soon as he turned around:

"The professor and Logan finally enjoyed this rare warmth, so don't disturb them."

"?"

Caliban was wearing windproof sunglasses and a mask, so his expression could not be seen clearly, but his movements were very obvious, showing the confusion revealed in his body.

Okay, okay, let them enjoy the warmth and let me go on an adventure with you, right?

If Caliban dared to complain, he would definitely say this to Kevin.

Kevin also knew that asking Caliban to follow him was indeed a little too much, so he made a very constructive suggestion:

"And don't you want revenge? Take revenge on the Alkali Group that once oppressed you? Don't worry, I'm here to make sure nothing happens to you."

Kevin said happily.

Dealing with the Alkali Group is just a little game for Kevin to play after dinner.

No, he hasn't had dinner yet, so it can be said to be a little game before dinner.

And what danger can a little game have?
