Ling Xiao frowned, asked very carefully: “Suppression, is it temporarily suppressed, or?”
“It is permanent.” Hank McCoy’s brow band With heavy worries, he immediately said: “Doctor calls it the antidote.”
As soon as Ling Xiao wanted to speak, Storm was already sneaked, said: “This is ridiculous, you are impossible to cure Mutants.”
Hank McCoy barely squeezed a smile on his face and said: “Scientifically speaking…”
“When did we become a disease.” Not yet When Hank McCoy finished speaking, Storm, who was upset, had already said something.
“What you both said makes sense.” Ling Xiao waved his hand, motioned to the two not to argue, and then explained: “Mutants, it is actually some kind of genetic change in humans, but I think To completely remove the mutant ability, genetic modification must be carried out. This aspect is very difficult and costly. Maybe there is a medicine that can temporarily suppress the mutant ability, but it is absolutely impossible forever.”
Hank McCoy gently shook the head and said, “They have tested it, and the subjects have not recovered any abilities.”
“They are using Mutants as subjects again!” Ling Xiao listened Here I can’t help but raise my eyebrows.
“It is voluntary.” Hank McCoy quickly explained: “You also know that not every Mutants can adapt to a capable life, the rejection of human society, the indifference of parents, the hostility of classmates and friends It’s normal for someone to choose to eliminate the ability.”
“We all understand that this is more of the guidance of the government’s public opinion.” Ling Xiao sneered, and then continued: “As for what you said so far Without resilience, it can only be said that the effect of this medicine is relatively long, but medicine efficacy will always end one day. When the medicine is used again next time, drug resistance will appear and the duration of medicine efficacy will become longer and longer. Short, I still think that if you want to remove the mutant ability, you have to find a way from the genetic level.”
Hank McCoy’s face is very calm, he said softly, “Perhaps, but no one knows this medicine. How long is the medicine efficacy for 50 years or 100 years? For most people, this is basically equivalent to being permanently effective!”
I heard Hank McCoy say that, Ling Xiao couldn’t help but froze for a moment, and said: “You are right, but it is necessary to clarify the expiry date of the medicine. Also, his ingredients may be able to develop a more effective antidote on this. Maybe, and this kind of antidote, we…”
“Ling, they are making an announcement now!” Professor Charles stopped Ling Xiao, there was no focus in his eyes.
Ling Xiao frowned hurriedly walked to the TV set aside, turned on the TV directly, and soon tuned to the channel of the press conference.
On an island in San Francisco Bay, a middle age person in his fifties is holding a press conference with the participation of hundreds of reporters.
“…These Mutants are also humans. Just like us, they are infected with only a disease that affects healthy cell activities. But I’m here to announce that there will be hope for you. This was once the world The most well-known prison will now be the base for liberating Mutants.” With that, the middle age person took out an injection and said sincerely: “Ladies gentlemen, I’m here to present a variant solution, we finally have The antidote for treatment.”
The antidote is real, and it is also effective. The middle age person is also very well-known in the United States. His name is Warren Kenneth Worthing. Dayton II is the Chairman of the renowned Worthington Industries. Worthington Industries is one of the Fortune 500 companies with huge wealth.
As for whether to use the antidote or not, even within X-Men, there are frequent debates. Storm is the first to express opposition. She is very dissatisfied and said: “Who wants treatment, cowards want to integrate into the crowd !”
“Saving the persecuted, how can you be considered a coward?” Hank McCoy was the first to express his dissatisfaction. He turned around, looked at Storm and said, “It’s not easy to blend in with the crowd. Will shed hair!”
Hank McCoy was originally a normal human, but his feet were a bit big, his body was exceptionally strong, and his brain was also very developed. In his early years, He is not only an important battle strength of X-Men, but also a technical expert of the team. He helped professors tinker with equipment and created weapons. X-Men’s goose was invented by him, and SHIELD’s Quinjet referenced the goose. Technology.
Hank McCoy has a very good relationship with Mystique Raven. In order to heal her blue skin, Hank McCoy specially developed a DNApotion, but Raven was unwilling to give up his own ability, and Hank McCoy tried to persuade her She, the kind of potion oneself drank.
However, not only did his abilities not be lifted, but a secondary mutation occurred. The whole body grew wildly and his skin became blue. The whole person looked like a cat resembling a lion. .
Unlike Wolverine and Storm, even after so many years, Hank McCoy wants to return to the appearance of ordinary people, so he personally agrees with the use of potion.
“This is likely to be dominated by government departments.” Logan also raised objections at this time. For this kind of potion, he not at all raised objections. What he was worried about was problems on other levels. All this is likely to be a conspiracy led by government departments.
Ling Xiao and Professor Charles looked at each other. They both had facial expression graves, and they had already communicated secretly.
Actually, according to Ling Xiao and Professor Charles, it doesn’t matter whether this kind of potion is dominated by the government or not. The important thing is that as soon as this kind of potion comes out, the government will immediately start a large-scale promotion. , Their attitude is very worrying.
Anyone can imagine that once this antidote is applied on a large scale, it is conceivable that Mutants in this world will be reduced on a large scale. In this case, government departments will face great resistance. In order to reduce, at this time, they will force all Mutants to inject this antidote, whether you like it or not, even X-Men is no exception.
Because at that time, the number of Mutants in this world will be greatly reduced, and X-Men is no longer needed.
In this case, those X-Men members who are unwilling to inject the antidote will definitely stand on the opposite side of the government. Whatever the situation, Ling Xiao and Professor Charles can both imagine , This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy to solve all Mutants.
Professor Charles has devoted his life to the peaceful coexistence of humans and Mutants, but he is Mutants after all. He must respond to this threat to the future of Mutants. As for how to deal with it, This also requires him to think.
At this time, the debate between Hank McCoy and Logan continued. Hank said with certainty: “I guarantee that the government has nothing to do with this.”
“This sentence I I’ve heard it before.” Logan can’t help sneering. In the past few years, government departments have used Mutants to conduct various experiments. Isn’t that rare? The variant X-Men saved many Mutants children. Stryker Colonel made Jean Sacrifice for it.
“Listen, kid!” Hank McCoy stared at Logan and said, “I was fighting for the rights of Mutants before you had claws.”
Hank McCoy said so, Logan looked towards Ling Xiao angry and funny, and said, “What did he call me just now? Kid?”
“Okay, Logan.” Ling Xiao patted Logan’s shoulder, and then looked towards Hank McCoy and said: “If someone is unwilling to do Mutants, then he can go to inject the antidote to restore normal life, but we hope that there is a condition that the government can agree to, that is, they cannot do any Mutants who are injected Information level, Hank, you should understand what I mean.”
Hank McCoy nodded. Ling Xiao is worried that this antidote is not at all the expected curative effect. Once the medicine efficacy disappears, someone No longer willing to use this kind of potion, at this time, the government department is forced to come to the door, forcibly inject the antidote, and may even take these people to conduct experiments.
“Listen to what you are talking about!” Listening to the conversation between Ling Xiao and Hank McCoy, Storm was very dissatisfied and said, “Professor, they can’t cure us because we are not sick, and all Mutants are not. Sick.”
