American comics: Hydra scientists

A densely forested valley somewhere in the Canadian Rockies.

The strong airflow of the aircraft will make the trees in the dense forest unable to lift their heads.

嘁~

The aircraft landed smoothly in an open space on the cliff.

As the hatch opened, Raven held the wheelchair with both hands and pushed the smiling Professor Charles to slowly walk out first, followed by Hank and seven or eight young mutants.

Taking a deep breath of the extraordinarily fresh air, a relaxed smile appeared on Charles' face.

"Let's go and meet our new partners."

Raven and Hank also smiled at each other and pushed Charles towards the dense forest.

There were thick bushes in the dense forest, and it was easy to get lost in it without guidance, but Charles and the others went straight in a certain direction without any hesitation.

A five-centimeter-thick steel gate is hidden deep in the bushes and blends in with the surrounding environment.

This place is really not something that ordinary people can find without a map.

Amidst the sound of mechanical friction, the door slowly rose, and Fury led a group of people out and came to Charles and others who had been waiting for a long time.

"Professor, I've been waiting for a long time."

With a gentle smile on his face, Charles said unhurriedly: "Thank you very much, Director Fury."

Fury took a step away, revealing a group of trembling, ragged people behind him, with fear and uneasiness in their eyes.

Charles looked at these ragged mutants, and the gentle energy of consciousness covered everyone like a spring breeze, soothing their emotions.

"Kids, you are all safe. We are here to take you home."

Soothed by the energy of Charles' consciousness, these suffering mutants slowly calmed down. Staring at the kind and kind smile on Charles' face, everyone seemed to see the warm sun.

However, their own experiences have made them very wary of strangers.

Charles does look like a kind and kind old man, but there shouldn’t be too many people wearing hypocritical masks in this world.

They still didn't let down their guard against the strangers like Charles.

"who are you?"

An older young man asked warily.

Charles was not angry at the attitude of these young mutants, but felt pity and distress.

"I'm Charles Xavier. They also call me Professor X."

"Are you Professor X?"

There was an exclamation from the crowd.

Charles smiled and nodded: "If there is no second Professor X, then I guess I am the person you think of."

"Woooooo~ Great, we are saved."

It wasn't until this moment that these young mutants believed that they were truly free. They were surprised and choked with disbelief.

Charles and his X-Men are not well-known to the outside world, but they are famous among the imprisoned mutants.

Over the decades, Charles led the X-Men to destroy many X Department bases and rescued many mutants, many of whom were transferred from other destroyed bases.

There were originally a lot of them, but the number of mutants has become smaller and smaller over the years. The reason why they can still maintain self-awareness until now is just because they are still too young and cannot meet the standards of being used as Weapon X.

Both lucky and unfortunate.

"Okay, kids, everything is over." Charles comforted the young mutant who was a little out of control and said, "Raven, take them away first, and leave the rest to me and Hank."

Raven looked at Fury beside him with hesitation, and reluctantly nodded: "Okay, Charles, be careful."

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Hank put his arm around Raven's shoulders and patted her gently.

When Raven left with the young mutants, the smile on Charles's face gradually faded and replaced with a serious expression.

"Director Fury, take me to see it."

Fury said solemnly: "Charles, I hope you will stay sane for a while."

"I know, I will."

Charles looked serious, but his face was calm.

The group of people entered the base again under the leadership of Fury. In the deep and dark passage, only the dull sound of footsteps echoed.

The people who originally belonged to Department X were taken away long before Charles and others arrived. Although the two parties had an agreement, Fury was still afraid that Charles would kill all the people in Department X if he didn't hold back.

The entire base now only has some people brought by Fury to clean up, so it seems a bit empty.

After taking the elevator down to dozens of meters underground, and walking dozens of times through the maze-like passages, the group finally arrived at a safe door that looked like a bank vault.

Coulson and Hawkeye have been waiting for a long time.

"Sir."

Fury nodded at the two of them: "Open it."

The heavy and solid security door slowly opened amidst the sound of machinery. This secret had been running for decades, and the ultimate secret of the X department, which was established specifically for mutants, was clearly revealed to everyone.

The cold fog dispersed, and an underground space the size of a football field appeared behind the security door.

The size of the space was not enough to make Charles' expression fluctuate at all, but the rows and rows of cylindrical refrigerated cabins that filled the entire space made Charles, a mutant leader known for his gentle temper, unable to control the anger in his heart. , suddenly changed color.

"roar~"

The low beast roar echoed in the underground space, containing overwhelming anger and murderous intent.

The originally windless underground space created a strong airflow out of thin air. The lights covering the surrounding walls exploded one after another, and the thick cables connected to the refrigerated cabins flashed dazzling sparks one after another.

"Charles, calm down." Fury was shocked and hurriedly spoke to comfort him.

Call ~

A white mist shot out of Charles' mouth like an air arrow and lingered for a long time.

"Is that all?"

Although Charles' tone was not very good, a big stone in Fury's heart finally fell to the ground.

Being able to speak means being able to talk.

When he first came here, Ephre's rock-hard heart was almost so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

"Four more."

There are five thousand refrigerated compartments behind a safety door, and there are five such safety doors in this base. Except for one that is not full, the other four are all full.

More than 20,000 mutants were created into cold machines without self-awareness and emotion.

Most are still failures.

At that time, Fury only knew that Stryker's Weapon X plan was to use mutants for human experiments, but he was still shocked by so many mutants.

Fortunately, Charles didn't lose control. If Raven were here, he would have been red-eyed.

"I'm sorry, Charles, I didn't expect this."

After hesitating for a long time, Fury felt that he still had to say something, although it seemed extremely pale to say it now.

Charles remained silent, while Hank, with a dark face and a bloodthirsty glare in his eyes, pushed the wheelchair towards the refrigerated cabins.

Looking at the pale and unfamiliar faces in the refrigerated cabin, despair and grief flashed in Charles's eyes.

Not long after leaving, Charles' eyes were fixed on a refrigerated cabin marked 0.

"James?"
