Charles fell asleep looking at the dancing fire in the fireplace, but he still muttered, "When your people came to me, I was shocked. I don't know how many tons of water went into my brain.
Only then will I really believe in your whimsical plan."
"Facts have proved that I was right." Eric still said unforgivingly: "It did not live up to our expectations. Dongsandao provided the first stronghold for mutants, and it is also the reason why we can now explore the universe.
Foundation."
"But you are still too bold." Charles muttered in a low voice, "I don't know why I went crazy, but I actually did it with you."
"I have told you a long time ago that you are a crazy professor and I am a crazy terrorist, so that we can tolerate each other for decades." Eric still said while covering his homework, and Charles had already fallen asleep.
.
Maybe he was thinking every day and dreaming at night, or maybe his sleep in the spiritual world was more disturbed by his previous thoughts. Charles dreamed about that crazy era, that scene between him and Eric and all the mutants.
A legendary adventure between.
On October 15, 1945, Charles, who was still a young man, had already joined the army and followed the team to the Middle East. However, at that time, he was not favored by his superiors and could only serve as a small patrol member.
But at that time, Charles already possessed extraordinary psychic abilities, so after discovering that a mysterious mutant suddenly appeared in his jurisdiction, he discovered him almost immediately and read the thoughts in his mind.
It was a spy sent by a man who called himself Eric Lensheer. The purpose was to find a gang leader named Farlock nearby. The reason for looking for him was to recruit him. Because of this name
Locke's people have telepathic abilities.
Charles had only heard of Farlock, but had never actually met him, nor had he come into contact with other telepaths. After reading the news, Charles couldn't help but leave his jurisdiction, and finally he met Farlock.
.
Unfortunately, Farlock disappointed him. The other party could only read minds briefly, and could not use psychic energy to attack others. At that time, Charles was young and energetic. After discovering that his existence was scanned by the other party, he directly used his mind blasting ability to kill the other party.
Became a fool.
This can be said to be the first time that Charles used his psychic abilities to attack others. He felt very nervous and ran back to the precinct. Not long after, he heard the news of Farlock's death.
This made his boss very angry because he had no clear collusion with the gang boss. Charles was not sure he could be perfectly invisible, so he wanted to find a way out for himself.
So he approached 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, and the other person brought news that shocked Charles.
People are ready to build a country.
Even in modern times, this is 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: someone would give up his seat to a black man on a bus. Guess who he was? Yes, he was a nigger mutant.
The vast majority of mutants accepted their fate, and even Charles hid his abilities and pretended to be an ordinary person living among the crowd. When he suddenly heard such news, he was extremely shocked.
But at this time, the news has not been widely disseminated. It can only be said that countries around the world are interested in doing this. Charles found reports about Dongsandao in the nearest town and immediately realized what these countries wanted to do.
So Charles followed Eric's men, not to join him but to stop him.
In his opinion, the radiation-filled Eastern Three Islands was not a good place. It was entirely a conspiracy by ordinary people to weaken mutants. This stupid Eric Lensherr actually believed it.
And because of its power, it really had some influence. Hearing that it had recruited many powerful mutants, Charles was so anxious that he wanted to rush over and punch Eric to wake him up.
By that time, Eric had already brought Anya to Poland. Anya's health was getting weaker and weaker. Eric had to spend most of his time with his daughter every day, but could not find time to see anyone.
Later, Anya's physical condition improved, and Charles was able to get close to Eric. However, at that time, the Brotherhood of Mutants had already begun to take shape. Charles was not proud of Eric in front of him, so naturally he couldn't say anything.
After observing for a period of time, Charles discovered that although Eric was serious and stubborn, he, like most people, liked to speak based on his strength. He could only remember the strong.
So Charles had to direct and stage a loss of control of his abilities. In order to scare Eric, this loss of control almost affected the whole world, letting all countries in the world know that another mutant as powerful as a god had arrived.
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 story of the secret plan from Eric's mouth.
What seems to be a plan for the extermination of mutants actually plays into Eric's hands, because Eric has already contacted a being who can exert a major influence on this matter——.
It can't be called mutant friendly at this time, because they are too poor and weak, but the only advantage is that in their war to defend their homeland, the mutants have made great efforts, and they are now unified.
of the front.
Since mutants bleed and sweat, then these mutants who have never had any contact with each other have fallen in love with each other. If they have some common interests, they are natural allies.
Dongsandao is a good opportunity to build common interests.
In such an important position, it is impossible to allow the United States and the Soviet Union to intervene. Even any strategist with no vision knows that this is a battleground for military strategists, and no mistakes are allowed.
But the problem is that it can really be called a serious injury to the vitality. If you continue to fight, it will really hurt the foundation. You can win the best with non-force means, but facing the two behemoths in front of you, it is really difficult.
Out of power.
At this time, the importance of mutants came to light. Since I can't get it, the best result is to let the other party not get it, because after all, I am the closest, so if something happens in the future, I will have the best chance.
Trading a moment of tolerance for a century of development opportunities is a decision that not everyone can make, but in the end they chose the most advantageous path.
In this way, Eric and Gou got in touch, and the two parties reached an exchange of interests. They sent a group of mutants who could control the weather to help Eric clean up the radiation on Dongsan Island as much as possible. Of course, Eric himself also
His magnetic field power couldn't be more useful, and he would hide the news that he came to the East Three Islands to lay the foundation for it, so as to paralyze other countries and prevent them from regretting it.
In the next hundred years, mutants will build their own homes and recuperate here. The two parties will work together to help mutants find a broader world when there is an opportunity.
Although they have found solid allies, the situation is still not optimistic for the mutants. Needless to say, what are the intentions of those countries that want to throw them there? Once they realize that the mutants are already prepared,
And it's not that simple, and things may change 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 theories about strange powers and chaos, who are the mutants, who are ordinary people and strong people, and who are the powerful ones in history?
There are other unspeakable secrets that are difficult to distinguish.
In modern times, many mutants have been discovered, and everyone has a superficial impression of the classification of mutant abilities. However, during World War II, the discoveries were not comprehensive enough and the classification was not very scientific, so they were probably
It is divided into melee and long-range types, and the specific principles are not discussed in depth.
Therefore, people's understanding of Eric, the emerging leader of mutants, is probably based on his ability to control metal. Many people call him the Metal King, and Eric is deliberately condoning this trend.
As for those with more hidden psychic abilities, not many people know about them. Although some scholars have guesses, most people are unwilling to admit it, because if there were such people, the dirty secrets in their hearts would have been exposed long ago.
?
As the leader of mutants, Eric himself had seen this kind of person before, so he searched for people with psychic abilities around the world. Charles was a surprise to him.
Charles's ability went out of control, making the whole 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 to Eric's plan.
That time Charles faced Eric was the best reason. The two of them pretended to break up. Charles publicly stated that he had seen through the conspiracies of all countries in the world, and Eric was the comprador of mutants they cultivated, with the purpose of converting mutants.
When someone is led into a fire pit, the two of them are in the same situation as water and fire.
The conspiracy was exposed, and the various countries were not in a hurry. They pretended to send team after team of experts to the three islands for testing, claiming that there was absolutely no problem with the amount of radiation on the three islands, and that the natural environment was beautiful and very suitable for living.
Ordinary people still have the right to speak in this society. Major authoritative institutions issued test reports, but Charles could not provide any evidence. He really deceived many mutants living in ordinary society.
They also used all kinds of tricks to target Charles, using various methods to slander and weaken his influence in the mutant society and promote Eric.
Yes, at this stage of the confrontation, their positions were completely reversed. Eric was a popular figure in various governments, while Charles was suppressed and depressed until he returned to his hometown manor and never looked back.
Come forward to talk about the founding of a mutant nation.
But what no one knows is that the pattern of these two mutant leaders, one playing the good role and the other playing the bad role, has begun to emerge from this moment on.
Countries that thought there were no more obstacles, successfully drove out all known mutants in the country, and successively promulgated laws requiring newborns to be tested. Once the X gene is detected, they will automatically obtain the nationality of the mutant country.
, rather than their own nationality, requiring them to leave the country before they are seven years old.
So team after team of mutants had no choice but to board planes heading to unknown lands. Some thought they would arrive at a new paradise, while others thought it was just another gas chamber.
The politicians who are the culprits firmly believe that it is the latter, and they can't wait to see these damn mutants who are constantly causing trouble for them in their jurisdictions die wailing from the radiation.
