Wang Xu walked out of the conference room, stood at the door and smoked a cigarette, not worried that Stryker would reject him.
Stryker hates mutants very much because his son Jason is a mutant and his ability is to create illusions and control the minds of others.
Jason's power is very powerful. Twenty years ago, Stryker handed him over to the leader of the mutants, Professor X, who has the power of mind control. He hoped that Professor
Unfortunately, the superpowers of mutants are not diseases, and Professor
In the end, Professor X had no choice but to send Jason back.
Who knew that Jason's power would become stronger and stronger over time, and he could pull others into the illusion of his own creation in his sleep.
The Stryker family was devastated. In the end, Stryker's wife ended her life by suicide, leaving a suicide note saying that she had given birth to a devil and was going to heaven to repent.
From that day on, Stryker regarded mutants as aliens, thinking they were a group of devils who had escaped from hell, and believed that Professor X wanted to destroy Jason's family by bringing him back.
So Stryker made up his mind to eliminate mutants at all costs, and this was how the Weapon X program was born in 1985.
According to the timeline, it is now 2005, when the plot of X-Men 1 begins.
In this film, the conflict between humans and mutants has not yet intensified, and Stryker has no chance to show up at all. Wang Xu does not believe that Stryker can remain indifferent even if he gives him a chance to deal with mutants.
You must know that Stryker has fallen into an extremely crazy state in order to eliminate mutants. In the opening song of X-Men 2, he did not hesitate to plan mutants to assassinate the president in order to make mutants and humans turn against each other so that he can
Get the chance to activate.
Bang!!
The iron door of the office was pushed open, and General Stryker, wearing a military uniform, came out with an appointment letter: "I want Hoover Base, no less than 500 Marines, 10 helicopters, and 20 armored vehicles.
, a scientific research team composed of at least 50 scientists, and a start-up capital of no less than 50 million US dollars."
"I will give you 1,000 soldiers, 20 helicopters, 100 scientists, and a start-up capital of 100 million US dollars. There is only one requirement. Next time you talk to me, you must add Mr. Congressman." Under Wang Xu's gaze,
Stryker was stunned for a moment, and a ferocious smile appeared on his lips.
hoover dam
The Hoover Dam on the Grand Canyon is the protagonist in many disaster movies, and in the Wolverine series, the original X-weapon plan was launched here.
Returning to the Hoover Dam again and stroking the cold wall, Stryker felt a lot.
Thinking about how disheartened he was when the X weapon plan failed. If the mutant threat theory had not been introduced, I am afraid that he would have been a colonel for the rest of his life and never become a general again.
Thinking that it was the mutants who made him what he was, Stryker secretly vowed to use the most cruel means to thank the mutants for allowing him to come to power.
"My plan is to build the Hoover Dam into our base, with troops stationed on the upper level for defense, the middle level transformed into a mutant prison, and the lower level transformed into a laboratory. Over the years, I have been preparing for today and never slack off.
I have a list of mutants in my hand. There are not many, only 184 people. Each of them is a confirmed mutant, and we can arrest them at any time."
Stryker raised his head slightly, looked at Wang Xu who was admiring the scenery, and said: "We are arresting people in secret, and we will never let the outside world know."
"It's best. If you mess up and someone wants to take the blame, I think that person must be you. In addition, there are more than 800 mutant criminals in the United States. They will all be sent here within three days. Remember
Take it." Wang Xu did not look back. Stryker and even Congress were shields for him.
Wang Xu needs a lot of mutant genes to build a more powerful alien force for him, and he doesn't want to fight the X-Men, or in other words, fight Jean Grey, so he will use these shields.
In the entire X-Men series, if there is anyone he is afraid of, it is not Professor X and Magneto, the two mutant leaders, but Jean Gray is his biggest concern.
Fortunately, through Wang Xu's observation, the X-Men world here is just the X-Men movie universe, and does not mix the plots of comics and Marvel.
Here, although Jean Gray is still powerful, she is not the unsolvable existence in Marvel comics, let alone Franklin who can reverse time and space, Professor X's sons, and Magneto's daughter Scarlet Witch.
Otherwise, the level of danger in this world would be too high. Whether it is the comic version of Qin Gray or these people, they are all overlords in the universe, and they can destroy a galaxy with just a raise of their hands.
The movie version of the X-Men has severely weakened the mutants. Faced with Qin Gray, who cannot fully awaken, Wang Xu is afraid but not afraid.
Watching Stryker leave, Wang Xu sneered at the corner of his mouth and pressed his hand on the earphones: "Did you find it?"
"We found Dr. Haller. He is currently working in the EU Genetic Laboratory, leading a genetic team to conquer genetic diseases. As for Dr. Bolivar you mentioned, I'm sorry, we found nothing."
Wang Xu fell into silence. Dr. Haller is the developer of anti-mutant vaccines. The vaccine he developed can suppress the X gene and make mutants lose their superpowers for a long time.
Dr. Bolivar is even more powerful. He is the super scientist who developed the Sentinel robot in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
In the movie, the Sentinel robot developed by Dr. Bolivar almost wiped out the mutants, and its creativity is no less than that of Iron Man in the Marvel world.
"Bring Dr. Haller back." Although Wang Xu was disappointed when he heard that Dr. Bolivar did not exist, he had already been prepared for this.
There are several timelines in X-Men. The timeline where Dr. Bolivar is located is different from X-Men 1. It is normal to not find this person.
Fortunately, it is not all without gain with Dr. Haller here. Dr. Haller is the developer of the mutant gene suppression vaccine. Since he can develop a vaccine that suppresses the X gene from a genetic perspective, think about it from another direction, right?
Drugs that enhance the x gene can also be developed.
Wang Xu came to him to not only develop a vaccine, but also reversely develop X-gene enhancement drugs to develop drugs that would allow ordinary people to possess the X-gene.
If Dr. Haller can do it, it proves that he is a talent. Wang Xu does not mind bringing him to the iron-blooded world and letting this genetics guru join his dream team of scientists.
chug chug chug
While Wang Xu was thinking, two large CH-47 helicopters fell from the sky.
The CH-47 helicopter can carry a platoon of 36 fully armed soldiers at a time and is the main force among the transport helicopters in the United States.
As the helicopter descended, two platoons of Marines quickly boarded the aircraft. Judging from their fully armed appearance, they were obviously on a combat mission.
"Second Lieutenant, where are you going?" Wang Xu walked up and asked the leading officer.
"Sir, we were ordered to perform a mission in California. There is a mutant gang there. It is conservatively estimated that there are five mutants." The second lieutenant was the platoon leader of this combat team. After hearing Wang Xu's words, he saluted with a military salute and replied.
Wang Xu was idle and bored, and when he heard that they were going to arrest someone, he said, "I'll go with you. Make room for me on the plane."
"Sir, isn't this against the rules?" The second lieutenant knew Wang Xu and knew that he was the person in charge here. He was afraid that if Wang Xu followed him, something would happen and he would be left without food.
Wang Xu did not give him a chance to defend, and said in a deep voice: "I am a member of Congress and the person in charge of the Hoover Base. What you need is to obey orders, second lieutenant!"
"Yes, sir." The second lieutenant platoon leader was in charge of three squads, a total of 36 soldiers, but he didn't do anything in front of members of Congress.
What's more, Wang Xu is still the person in charge of the base and has more power than Stryker, who is the supervisor. These soldiers who are directly affiliated with the Hoover base are the only ones who dare to disobey his orders.
"You, go down and leave your position to the commander. You don't need to participate in this operation." Second Lieutenant Don't think that you can't do it in front of Wang Xu. Instead, in front of soldiers, that is a big shot who will take life and death.
A soldier wearing camouflage uniforms and holding an assault rifle saluted a military salute and jumped off the plane.
Wang Xu nodded with satisfaction, sat on the soldier's seat, and said, "Take off immediately!"
"Yes, sir." The second lieutenant responded loudly, and the two helicopters quickly took off and roared towards the location in California.
