Chapter 167 The Actors Are Also Scary

"... Just a wild wolf."

Kevin was silent for a long time and helped Logan out.

Logan agreed repeatedly:

"Yes, a... wild wolf, we are going to... him..."

"Sell him?"

Caliban added tentatively.

"..."

Everyone fell silent, Charles looked at them speechlessly for a while, and said:

"Logan, my memory is not good, but it doesn't mean I'm stupid. I can still distinguish between human thoughts and animal thoughts."

"This guy still has thoughts?"

Logan asked in surprise, Charles stared at him:

"Then do you admit that the person behind is a human?"

"..."

Logan continued to remain silent, looking at Kevin speechlessly.

His meaning was very clear, he wanted Kevin to explain.

Kevin sighed and said helplessly:

"Well, to be honest, the one behind is actually similar to Laura. His name is X24, a clone of Logan. The purpose of bringing him is to see if he can become our helper..."

"Then why let him be behind?"

"Because he is dangerous." Logan added, "If Kevin hadn't insisted on taking him, I wouldn't have taken him on the bus at all!"

Logan didn't understand why Kevin insisted on taking X24 with him. If Kevin hadn't really helped them so much, and X24 was under their control, Logan would never have taken X24 to North Dakota.

Charles looked at Kevin this time.

Kevin was silent, fiddling with his phone to edit the video.

Bringing X24 here was Kevin's selfishness, and there was no way to explain it. Even if he lied to Charles, he would definitely be exposed in the future.

So it's better not to say anything. Anyway, they have already taken X24, and it's impossible to throw X24 away halfway.

Well, it shouldn't be possible...right?

Thinking of Logan's current personality, Kevin was a little bit unconfident.

...

While Kevin and Logan were leisurely heading to North Dakota, the senior executives of the board of directors were having a heated discussion inside the Alkali Group.

"Has the video been deleted?!"

"The video has been locked with special technology and cannot be deleted. We can only try to block it..."

"Boss, the Secretary of State called and asked what happened."

"There are also several food companies. They said they would temporarily terminate their cooperation with us..."

The board of directors was in chaos. An elderly white man with white hair had a slightly distorted expression. He turned into a desktop cleaning master and angrily swept all the ornaments on the desktop to the ground.

He is the CEO of the Alkali Group, and his status is equivalent to Edgar of the Water Group.

But compared with Edgar, this guy is obviously a little impatient.

It's no wonder he can't keep his temper.

If what is happening now is in the black robe world, Compound No. 5 is exposed by the news, but the Water Group has not used any means to divert the topic.

Now the chairman of Alkali is facing such a dilemma.

The groups that cooperated with them called to hold them accountable, and some even terminated the cooperation.

Many people in the State Council, which should have been on their side, also attacked the Alkali Group.

They were either asking whether what Alkali was doing was true or accusing them of not hiding what they were doing, so important news was placed in the office of the branch manager.

The chairman also had something to say about this.

As a mere head of a group branch, his status was not enough to access the core strategy of the Alkali Group.

Perhaps he did keep some documents about various genetically modified foods.

But he was definitely not qualified to know anything about the [Weapon Project X]! How could that document appear in his office!

And what the hell is "Weapon Project X"? ! This experiment does not even have a formal name!

This is indeed the case. There is indeed no information about making mutants in the office of the branch manager.

Those materials were just something Kevin printed out casually.

But whether there are relevant materials in the office of the branch manager is not the focus of their discussion now.

Because even if the document itself is fake, the content inside is genuine.

The Alkali Group is indeed doing relevant experiments.

Now the group's public relations department is trying its best to distance itself from the matter, but the chairman knows that this is far from enough.

They want to destroy all evidence about the X-weapon project, especially those experimental mutants who escaped!

"Go and call Les over to me!!"

Thinking of this, the chairman yelled at his subordinates.

Soon, the scientific research director Sander Rice came to him.

Without waiting for Sander to speak, the chairman spitted at him:

"I don't care what method you use! Within two days! I want you to eliminate all the mutants who escaped! Listen carefully, all!!"

"Sir... We have tried our best to do it, but the problem now is that there is a powerful mutant among them and we can't get close to them."

Sander explained with a stiff face.

He also wanted to deal with everything that was happening in a short time, but Kevin's existence was like a mountain blocking him.

Sander still hasn't figured out what kind of ability Kevin has.

The group of security members who tried to approach him last night were almost wiped out, and even the X24 used as insurance disappeared without a trace, most of them were in danger.

Sander even thought that instead of worrying about the escaped mutants causing trouble to them, they should worry about the powerful mutant coming to their door in person.

Sandel has determined through the research in the past two days that within a certain distance, no creature with a brain can approach that guy.

Just like... Professor X in the past.

"I don't care about that! I have already contacted the military! Use missiles, anti-material weapons, anything! Anyway... I want to see the end of this matter within two days!"

The chairman continued to yell at Sandel.

After yelling, he slumped in the chair panting, and the violent breathing made people worry that he would die in the next second.

The chairman's attitude made Sandel understand that he might have no way out.

Even the military will be dispatched. It seems that the video released early this morning did make the Alkali Group feel a crisis.

Otherwise, the Alkali Group would not use the military's relationship.

However, since the military is dispatched, there should be no big problem with this operation.

The enemy is not Magneto who can control metal, nor Phoenix who can control everything in the world.

It is just a mutant with special means of attacking living things.

There is indeed no way to deal with him at close range, but long-range attack methods should be feasible.

When they meet up with the group of escaped experimental subjects, Sander can completely eliminate them with long-range strikes.

Even tactical nuclear weapons can be used.

"I know, don't worry, sir, I will solve this matter as soon as possible."

After receiving a new task from the chairman of the Alkali Group, Sander left the meeting room and began to make arrangements.

Without Caliban who can track mutants, it is somewhat difficult for Sander to find the group of mutants.

But fortunately, when Sander investigated the laboratory where the group of experimental subjects escaped, he found an abandoned photo.

This photo belongs to a certain experimental subject, and the content of the photo is a group photo of all the children.

On the back of the photo, there is a sentence and an address, which says that the experimental subjects are going to meet somewhere in 'North Dakota'.

And marked the approximate coordinates.

Therefore, Sander guessed that these children should gather at the coordinates marked above.

Including the mutants who are now running away with Laura.

Therefore, as long as they arrive here in advance, they should be able to catch everyone in one fell swoop.

"What a pity... I wanted to leave a few alive."

After planning what to do next in his mind, Sander sighed secretly.

Among the children, there are actually one or two that Sandel is more satisfied with.

For example, Laura, and a black child who can control soil and stone.

But unfortunately, now the superiors have issued an order that these children who are trained as weapons can only be "executed", and they must be executed without leaving any trace.

After sighing for a while, Sandel turned to his subordinates and said:

"Ask the new security director to come to see me."

The previous security director Donald has died, and even the subordinates he trained have all died at the hands of that mutant.

The current security director is just a temporary promoted sucker, so Sandel can speak to him in an imperative tone.

Anyway, this guy is also a disposable consumable.

Facing the mutant who can kill people from a distance, Sandel doesn't think he can live long.

...

The journey to North Dakota is a little boring.

Because Charles fell ill again in the middle of the journey and didn't remember who Logan and the people around him were.

Especially Kevin, the "family member" who joined later, Charles didn't remember anything, but strangely he remembered Laura, which made Kevin laugh and cry.

In order to prevent Charles from being stressed, after arriving in the next city, Kevin and Caliban went to the second-hand car market to buy a cheap car for transportation and followed Logan's car.

Although this was considered "driven out", the advantage was that everyone didn't have to squeeze in the same car.

With an independent car, Kevin also started his own work.

Tracking and observing the poor little girl Laura.

"Dear audience, it's me, Kevin, yes, I'm fine, and my friend Paul is fine too, but now we are avoiding the pursuit of the Alkali Group, so we are on the run.

"But fortunately, we encountered the experimental subjects mentioned by the Alkali Group in the "Weapon Project X" on the road..."

As soon as he got in the car, Kevin held up his mobile phone, pointed it at the vehicle in front of him to take pictures and add explanations.

He said in a sad and angry tone:

"It's hard to imagine that in addition to achieving genocide, the Alkali Group is also experimenting on children! On the one hand, they want to eliminate mutants, and on the other hand, they want to cultivate their own mutant weapons!

"And this is the core content of the "Weapon Project X"!"

Kevin said with emotion, and Caliban, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked at Kevin with a very strange expression.

It was the first time he saw Kevin perform, and it was also the first time he saw a professional actor acting wildly in front of him.

If Caliban didn't know what a dangerous guy Kevin was, he would probably really believe what Kevin said now.

Actors... are sometimes scary...

Looking at the performance of the people next to him, Caliban sighed in his heart.
