Chapter 364 Aliens ask for help, the fate of mutants

Crystal, the youngest member of the royal family of the Inhumans, has the ability to control the four elements of "earth", "water", "fire" and "wind".

Tetanus, Crystal's pet dog, is also regarded by her as the most important partner. He weighs about [-] pounds and has teleportation ability. He can teleport directly from the earth to the moon. At the same time, because of his huge size, he has amazing attack and defense ability.

"Oh, has the world changed so fast that even a dog has superpowers?" Tony couldn't help complaining.

Ling Ling then made up the knife: "But you haven't yet."

Tony rolled his eyes instantly.

Professor Charles continued: "That's the biggest dog I've ever seen in my life, oh... no, the one you raised should be excluded." The last sentence was undoubtedly addressed to Ling Ling.

And Ling Ling didn't realize until this moment that he had two pets, Zou Wu and the giant wolf Fenrir.

But he didn't see these two when he came back so many times that he even forgot about them and had to ask Egg later.

"It wasn't the big dog with psychic abilities that sent the message to me, but the little girl. When I got close, I realized that she used the sound produced by the vibration of the air to reach my ears, and she It can contain this vibrating energy so well that I can't even notice it, and at the same time, I have the illusion that the sound is directly in my mind."

"He's a master." Rui Wen commented indifferently.

"So, what does she want from you?" Ling Ling asked.

Charles took a long breath, and then said, "She's here for help."

"help?"

"That's right, but she came to ask me for help in a personal capacity, and didn't disclose the actual situation. She said that she could give us some time to think about it, and she would contact me later."

"for how long?"

"She didn't say anything, and then the big dog activated the space teleportation ability and took her away directly."

Steve frowned slightly: "It does sound mysterious."

Ling Ling's focus is not on this, he cut to the point and said: "So what is she willing to give? Or, what can she give?"

Lao Wan took up the conversation: "A brand new settlement that will never be disturbed by humans."

Hearing this, Ling Ling immediately knew what the other party was talking about.

Moon.

The lair of the Inhumans, of course, the Inhumans referred to here is only the oldest and most sound one.

There are also Inhumans on Earth, but their existence is relatively scattered.

Inhumans are born with mutated genes, but the awakening of this gene requires Terrigen Mist as an induction. In the absence of induction, their appearance and even gene expression are not much different from humans.

Speaking of which, Skye, the alien in S.H.I.E.L.D., should have awakened, but I don't know if she has found her parents.

Ling Ling's eyes swept across the faces of Lao Wan and Charles, and then smiled softly: "It can be seen that you are very excited."

Lao Wan nodded very sincerely: "Yes, but not absolutely. Maine has now become the world's largest gathering place for mutants, but problems still exist, and there are still some new contradictions that need to be resolved."

Ling Ling stretched out his hand: "You might as well talk about it."

Lao Wan continued: "First of all, this is the earth. Although I don't want to admit it, from a strategic point of view, human beings are still in an absolute advantage. Moreover, the existence of human beings is the foundation for the continuation of mutants. The mutation of the X gene has no absolute advantage." Even if we leave here with all the mutants now, there will still be brand new mutants on the earth in the future, and we don’t want history to repeat itself.”

Everyone nodded slightly. This was the truth, and it also reflected the responsibility of Lao Wan and Charles as the leaders of the mutants.

Even if they are mutants that may appear in the future, they still don't want to give up.

"Secondly, the same sentence, the X gene has no absolute inheritance, and the children of mutants are not necessarily mutants. This is very important. There are already many parents in Maine who are mutants, but their offspring are There is no example of the X gene. These children will play, go to school and grow up with a group of mutant companions in the future. At that time, they will become aliens in this place. To put it bluntly, they will definitely be discriminated against by other children. Sometimes they themselves, and their parents, will definitely start all kinds of struggles. But are we going to send these ordinary children out of Maine? Doesn’t that mean directly tearing apart a wonderful family? How many mutants are willing to stay?"

For mutants, how to ensure inheritance after leaving the earth is definitely the most troublesome point.

The core X gene of the mutants is not absolutely inherited. If they take the mutants away from the earth to a distant gathering place today, will there be a day when the X gene will no longer exist and the mutants will disappear completely? ?
From a probabilistic point of view, this is entirely possible.

Of course, mutants will continue to appear on the earth, but since those who leave will eventually become extinct, what's the point of leaving now?

Compared with mutants, Inhumans are undoubtedly happy.

Their racial inheritance is perfect, and the children of Inhumans must be Inhumans. As long as there are enough Terrigen crystals, Inhumans can continue forever.

So even though most of the Inhumans have lived far away on the moon since a long time ago, their population has never been reduced due to genetic problems until now.

At the same time, the aliens on the earth are still awakening and appearing, and even a small settlement has emerged.

At this time, Charles continued: "But if we don't leave, then the group of mutants will definitely become larger and larger, and judging from the current trend, our integration with humans is not going smoothly, and even spawned mutants. There are a lot of contradictions, which I never thought of."

Faced with Charles' self-ashamed attitude, Lao Wan snorted unceremoniously: "I told you a long time ago that humans and mutants can live on the same planet, but it is absolutely impossible to become true friends! Your previous thoughts have already disappeared. It all turned out to be what you took for granted!"

Such words were regarded as unceremonious reprimands, but Charles did not refute, and there was no evidence to support his refutation.

Ruiwen didn't say a word, she has always stood up to Lao Wan on this point.

On the contrary, Lorna felt a little uncomfortable listening, so she gently tugged on the corner of Lao Wan's clothes.

Lao Wan, who gave his daughter some face, snorted again, and said instead: "The increasing trend of the mutant population is unstoppable. When I was a child, most of the mutants in the world were in the Hellfire Club. But at that time, there were not many mutants in the club. As the war between us and humans became more intense, although there were a lot of mutants who died, there were more and more mutants born in the heart, no matter whether it was caused by the development of the world or not. More mutants have been discovered, at least according to our statistics, the number of mutants that have appeared in each of the last ten years has exceeded the previous year."

Charles continued: "This may be a trend, or it may be a coincidence, but we can only think from the worst direction now. If this is really a trend covering the whole world, then there may be a battle of life and death waiting in the future us."

Everyone present understood.

The earth is so big, if there are more and more mutants, the scope of human activities and available resources will inevitably be squeezed.

Just like humans have been squeezing the living space of wild animals.

Wild animals will resist, but they have never been able to defeat humans since ancient times, but mutants are different.

They look similar to humans, but they have all sorts of strange abilities.

With the two mutant leaders in front of them alone, if they are willing to let go of their actions, they can directly wipe out the scale of race and the achievements of civilization that human beings are proud of in a very short period of time. Time and opportunity to rebel.

This is the main reason why Ling Ling never sympathized with Charles Xavier, but instead had a good impression of Lao Wan.

Of course, from a purely human point of view, he would of course like Charles more. Just ask, who would not like this kind of enemy who hinders the enemy?
Closer to home, Lao Wan and Charles are very excited about Crystal's proposal, but at the same time they are also very entangled.

The pros and cons of both options are very intuitive and deadly.

If they leave, the mutants that will appear on the earth in the future will be completely separated from their group, and in the future, their group of mutants may perish due to the cessation of the X gene inheritance.

If they don't leave, the growing group of mutants will cause human society to panic again sooner or later. At that time, judging from the current situation, I'm afraid the two sides will directly turn into a decisive battle.

"Father, I don't want to leave." Lorna begged quietly in Lao Wan's ear.

Lao Wan looked back at her, and happened to catch Lorna's eyes sneaking glances at Ling Ling.This made an old father suddenly lose his temper.

"Whether you want to go or not, it doesn't matter what you say!" Lao Wan angrily yelled at her, and then said: "It's a bit far away to think about this issue now. As for why I should bring it up, I can still keep my thoughts. Others No matter how good the place is, it may not be suitable for us. After all, apart from the X gene, we are still very similar to humans. Even if we really want to leave, then I suggest to catch a group of humans in advance and send them there. If they can live well, then It's not too late for us to go!"

As expected of Lao Wan, the tone of his mouth was that of the Brotherhood of Old Mutants.

Charles said: "There is no need for this. Inhumans and humans are very similar. Since they can survive, then I believe we can too."

Lao Wan clapped his hands suddenly: "Very well, then here comes the question, why would they give up their place to us? Will you give up part of Maine to humans? Oh sorry, I shouldn't ask You, because you might actually be!"

Charles, who was stunned again, could only smile wryly.

At this time, Tony suddenly said: "The key lies in what kind of help the other party needs, which is the primary factor in determining whether the other party will actually hand over the settlement to you; moreover, if the X gene is really not inherited, I suggest You better not leave."

Lao Wan said bluntly: "You are a good human being. If there is a real war in the future, I will save your life."

Who is Tony?

iron Man!
Who is Lao Wan?

Magneto!
Before Tony designed the steel suit that was out of metal, Lao Wan must have liked Tony very much, and Tony absolutely disliked Lao Wan.

Faced with Lao Wan's ridicule, Tony said lazily: "Then I will thank you in advance, but to be honest, human weapons cannot always be made of metal, maybe I should develop some more powerful ones later. engineering plastics."

Lao Wan's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Ling Ling took the opportunity to say: "Okay, okay, we're all on our own, there's nothing to argue about, if you want me to say, go if you want, stay if you want. It's not that you can't come back if you leave, and it's not guaranteed to be successful if you stay. "

Hearing this, Lao Wan and Charles immediately looked at Ling Ling with straight eyes, and the eyes of Rui Wen and Lorna were also full of expectation.

"Leaving the earth might not be a good choice. You can develop your own civilization in a new place, and there will be no human beings telling you what to do, and your descendants will no longer think you are freaks because of the propaganda of human beings. As for Ordinary people who will appear do not have to be sent away and then break up the family, as long as you treat them equally all the time. Although they are ordinary, their descendants are not necessarily ordinary, so on the contrary, you should set an example and relative variant for them People are more favored, which can also solve your so-called inheritance problem from one side.”

"Furthermore, after you leave, no one stipulates that you cannot come back."

"Perhaps you can set a fixed return time to pick up the mutants that appeared on the earth. If you want, their families are not impossible to take away."

Charles frowned slightly: "Humans may not necessarily agree."

Lao Wan immediately showed an unbearable expression on his face and said: "Here it is again, you don't do it if people don't agree, why don't you commit suicide first if they want to kill you?"

Ling Ling gave Lao Wan a thumbs up, and then said: "If you are willing to stay, and the growth of mutants is indeed a trend, then the best way for you is to say nothing on the surface and prepare for defense in secret Power." Speaking of this, Ling Ling's eyes fell on Lao Wan: "I can tell you frankly that human beings will never disappear. Mutants may become the most powerful and largest race on earth, but human beings will never Get wiped out, because you keep making humans, don't you?"

Although Lao Wan was upset, he could only admit it.

Humans reproduce humans, and mutants reproduce humans.

So it is impossible for pure ordinary human beings to disappear.

If it is going to be extinct, then sooner or later this knife will be cut on the mutant family. At that time, I am afraid that there will be endless civil strife.

Lao Wan: "The question is, how should we come back after we leave?"

Ling Ling couldn't help chuckling: "Do you think you are going far away?"

"Isn't it?" Lao Wan and Charles frowned together.

Indeed, judging by the current scientific and technological knowledge of the earth, there are no other habitable planets in the solar system besides the earth, and even if it is within the solar system, even if it is a mutant, it is not possible to walk away when facing the distance of the distant planet .

Ling Ling didn't speak, but raised his finger and pointed out the window.

A bright moon has begun to reflect a soft light in the deep dusk.
