Chapter 2713 New Shangdu (Part 2)

Charles looked at the fire in the fireplace and felt sleepy. He kept muttering, "When your people came to me, I was shocked. I don't know how many tons of water went into my brain to believe your fantastic plan."

"The facts prove that I was right." Eric still said unforgivingly: "It did not disappoint our expectations. Dongsan Island provided the first foothold for mutants and the basis for us to explore the universe now."

"But you are still too bold." Charles muttered in a low voice, "I don't know why I was crazy. I actually accompanied you to do it."

"I have said it before, you are a crazy professor, and I am a crazy terrorist, so that we can tolerate each other for decades." Eric was still doing his homework while saying, and Charles had fallen asleep.

Perhaps thinking during the day will make you dream at night, or it is possible that the sleep in the spiritual world is more disturbed by the previous thinking. Charles dreamed of that crazy era, the legendary adventure between him, Eric and all the mutants.

On October 15, 1945, Charles, who was still a young man, had joined the army and came to the Middle East with the team. However, he was not loved by his superiors at that time and was only a small patrolman.

But at that time, Charles already had a good psychic ability, so after discovering that a mysterious mutant suddenly appeared in his jurisdiction, he almost immediately found him and read the thoughts in his mind.

It was a spy sent by a man who called himself Eric Lansheer. The purpose was to find a gang leader named Farlock nearby. The reason for finding him was to recruit him because this man named Farlock had telepathic ability.

Charles had only heard of Farlock, but had never really seen him, nor had he come into contact with other telepathic people. After reading this news, Charles couldn't help but leave his jurisdiction, and finally he met Farlock.

Unfortunately, Farlock disappointed him greatly. The other party could only read minds shallowly and could not use psychic energy to attack others. At that time, Charles was young and vigorous. After discovering that his existence was scanned by the other party, he directly used the ability of mind blasting to turn the other party into a fool.

This was the first time Charles used his psychic ability to attack others. He felt very nervous and ran back to the jurisdiction. Not long after, he heard the news of Farlock's death.

This made his boss very angry because he had a unclear relationship with the gangster boss. Charles was not sure that he could be perfectly invisible, so he wanted to find a way out for himself.

So he found the person sent by Eric and claimed that he also had psychic abilities, but he did not tell the truth completely. He only said that he could read minds. The other party brought a shocking news to Charles that mutants were preparing to establish a country.

Even in modern times, this is a shocking enough news. In that era, mutants were third-class citizens in every country.

When he was in the United States, Charles often heard such a joke. On a bus, someone actually gave up his seat to a black man. Guess who he was? That's right, it was a black mutant.

Most mutants accepted their fate. Even Charles hid his abilities and pretended to live among ordinary people. He was shocked to hear such news suddenly.

But at this time, the news had not been widely spread. It can only be said that countries around the world are determined to do so. Charles found reports about Dongsan Island in the nearest town and immediately realized what these countries wanted to do.

So Charles followed Eric's people, but he didn't want to join him, but to stop him.

In his opinion, the radioactive Dongsan Island was not a good place. This was a conspiracy of ordinary people to weaken mutants. This stupid Eric Lansheer actually believed it.

And because of its strength, it really has some influence. It is said that it has recruited many powerful mutants. Charles was anxious and wanted to rush over to punch Eric to wake him up.

At that time, Eric had taken Anya to Poland. Anya's body was getting weaker and weaker. Eric had to spend most of his time on his daughter every day, but he couldn't find time to see anyone.

Later, Anya's physical condition improved, and Charles was able to approach Eric, but at that time, the Brotherhood of Mutants had already taken shape. Charles was not proud in front of Eric, so naturally he couldn't say anything.

After observing for a while, Charles found that although Eric was serious, old-fashioned and stubborn, he, like most people, liked to speak with strength, and he could only remember the strong.

So Charles had to direct and act out a power outage. In order to shock Eric, this outage almost affected the whole world, letting all countries in the world know that another mutant as powerful as a god has come.

Since then, Eric and Charles have indeed become good friends, and can be said to be the closest comrades-in-arms, because Charles heard the full picture of the secret plan from Eric.

It seems to be a mutant extermination plan, but in fact it is exactly what Eric wants, because Eric has already contacted an existence that can exert a major influence in this matter——.

At this time, it can't be called mutant friendship, because they are too poor and too weak, but the only advantage is that in their war to defend their country, mutants have made great efforts, and they are now on a united front.

Since mutants have shed blood and sweat, they, who have never had any contact with mutants, will also have some feelings when they meet. If there are some common interests, they are natural allies.

The East Three Islands are a good opportunity to establish common interests.

Such an important position cannot allow the United States and the Soviet Union to intervene. Even the most visionless strategists know that this is a battleground for military strategists and must not be lost.

But the problem is that it can really be said that it is seriously injured. If it continues to fight, it will really hurt the foundation. It would be best to take it down by non-violent means, but facing the two behemoths in front of them, it is really beyond their ability.

At this time, the importance of mutants is reflected. Since I can't get it, the best result is to make the other party unable to get it, because after all, I am the closest, and if there is an accident in the future, I will have the greatest chance.

Using temporary tolerance to exchange for a hundred years of development opportunities, this decision is not something that everyone can make, but in the end they chose the most advantageous path.

In this way, Eric hooked up with the two parties, and the two parties reached an exchange of interests. They sent some mutants who could control the weather to help Eric clean up the radiation on the East Three Islands as much as possible. Of course, Eric himself would also contribute. His magnetic field power is very useful, and he would conceal the news that he came to the East Three Islands to lay the foundation for him, which was used to paralyze other countries and prevent them from regretting.

In the next hundred years, mutants will build their own homes here and recuperate. The two parties will work together to help mutants find a broader world when they have the opportunity.

Although they have found a solid ally, the situation is still not optimistic for mutants. Those countries want to throw them there. Needless to say, what they are thinking is naturally. Once they realize that the mutants are well prepared and it is not that simple, there may be changes at any time.

So Eric has been looking for psychics.

There have been many powerful mutants in human history before, but because the speed of information circulation was slow in ancient times and there were many supernatural theories, it was difficult to distinguish who was a mutant, who was an ordinary strong man, and who had other unspeakable secrets.

Since modern times, many mutants have been discovered, and everyone has a superficial impression of the classification of mutant abilities, but during World War II, the discovery was not comprehensive enough, and the classification was not very scientific. They were probably divided into melee and long-range types, and the specific principles were not discussed in depth.

So people's understanding of Eric, the leader of the emerging mutants, probably stayed at the level that he could control metal. Many people called him the Metal King, and Eric deliberately indulged this trend.

As for the more hidden psychic ability users, even fewer people know about them. Although some scholars have speculated, most people are unwilling to admit it, because if there are such people, wouldn't the dirty secrets in their hearts have been exposed long ago?

As the leader of mutants, Eric himself had seen this kind of person before, so he searched for psychics around the world, and Charles was a surprise to him.

Charles's ability went out of control once, making the world realize that there are such powerful psychics in the world, which attracted the attention of countries around the world and just added an extra layer of insurance for Eric's plan.

That time Charles confronted Eric was the best excuse. The two of them pretended to break up. Charles publicly stated that he saw through the conspiracy of countries around the world, and Eric was the mutant comprador they cultivated, with the purpose of bringing mutants into the fire pit. For a while, the two were like fire and water.

The conspiracy was exposed, but the countries were not in a hurry. They pretended to send teams of experts to the three islands for testing, claiming that there was absolutely no problem with the radiation on the three islands, and the natural environment was beautiful and very suitable for living.

Ordinary people still hold the right to speak in this society. Major authoritative institutions issued test reports, but Charles could not produce any evidence, and he really fooled many mutants living in the society of ordinary people.

They also used all kinds of tricks to target Charles, using various methods to slander him, weaken his influence in the mutant society and promote Eric.

That's right, in this stage of the confrontation, their positions were completely reversed. Eric was a big shot in the governments of various countries, while Charles was suppressed and frustrated until he returned to his hometown manor and never talked about the establishment of a mutant nation again.

What no one knew was that the pattern of the two mutant leaders playing the good cop and the bad cop was beginning to show from this moment.

The countries that thought there were no more obstacles drove out all the known mutants in the country smoothly, and successively promulgated laws requiring newborns to be tested. Once the X gene was detected, they would automatically obtain the citizenship of the mutant country instead of their own country, and they were required to leave the country before the age of seven.

So teams of mutants had to board planes to unknown places. Some people thought they would come to a new paradise, while others thought it was just another gas chamber.

The politicians who were responsible for the incident firmly believed that it was the latter. They could not wait to see these damn mutants who had been causing trouble for them in their jurisdiction die wailing in the radiation.

The final result was, of course, shocking.
