Chapter 62 Mind Control Potion
In Canada, a man-made lake called Akali. This is a large man-made dike built by the U.S. government with funding from the Canadian government after World War II. The purpose is to facilitate artificial irrigation and prevent summer flash floods in the area.
Because of the extremely abundant precipitation in the area, the levee formed a huge artificial lake soon after its construction was completed. This makes the surrounding farmers and residents begin to consciously migrate here. In just a dozen years, a large enough town has been formed.
For the residents of the town, the lake, named Akali, has become an integral part of their lives. A large part of their needs came from this lake, which has been going on for generations. However, the residents here would never have imagined that there are amazing secrets hidden in the lakes they are familiar with and the dikes that have been almost abandoned for decades.
Here, is the secret base of General Stryker, and the mysterious organization he leads hides in this abandoned dam.
In order to transform the dam, he spent a lot of effort. Its main purpose is to prevent mutants with various abilities from entering and leaving here. He regards mutants as lifelong enemies, and even his base is designed to deal with mutants. In this base, in addition to the soldiers under him, the most mutants were imprisoned by him.
Decades of hard work have filled his base with his prisoners. Those are mutants from all over the world. Some of them were transferred here after being arrested for crimes, but more were arrested by his subordinates. Before that, they would not consider whether the people they arrested were good people or bad people. What's more, many of the mutants they caught were still children.
In the eyes of Stryker and his soldiers, mutants are not human. In this regard, even the children of mutants are the same, and they have no burden at all. You can even watch these mutants undergo all kinds of inhumane experiments as if they were animals.
as it is now.
A struggling mutant was locked firmly in a seat, and a few guys in white coats used a high-speed turn to make a small hole in his skull, and then slender needles were used to make a small hole in his skull. A strange-looking liquid was injected into it.
The soldiers around didn't even change their expressions at all. It seemed that in their eyes, the guy being tested was not a human, but a guinea pig with a human appearance. They are used to it, used to everything in front of them, used to howling and screaming in their ears. It is already an integral part of their daily life.
No one was interested in the pleading and suffering of their experiment, they were interested in the outcome of the experiment.
Watching the pupils of the mutants who acted as experimental subjects gradually dilated, the struggling behavior slowly stopped. Instead of the physiological fluctuations that were almost out of control in the previous few times, the surrounding white coats looked at each other. They saw a common look in each other's eyes - joy.
"General, we seem to have succeeded." A guy in a white coat said to a stern man standing next to them.
This is a man whose hair is already a little gray, but still looks quite tough. He wears old-fashioned glasses, a well-groomed beard and pursed lips that suggest he's a pretty serious guy. The always straight waist and steady steps make his behavior full of a strong military color. This is William. General Stryker, the supreme commander of this secret military base.
Hearing the researcher's report, General Stryker walked quickly to the side of the experiment. If it were normal times, the mutants here would see him come to them, even if they didn't grit their teeth with hatred,
Will also wince like a frightened quail. He is the devil in the eyes of all mutants, even he himself would not deny it.
At this moment, the expression of this mutant was a little weird. His eyes stared at Stryker, but there was no fluctuation in it, as if he was facing a stranger. And this can't sum up all his abnormality. If you have to describe it, you can only say that his expression is unusually pure, like a baby.
Stryker watched his expression, and after a while, he put his blunt face in front of him, and told him softly in such a close situation.
"Listen, Kane. I am the man you look up to the most, and you always do what I tell you. Whatever I tell you to do, you will do it. You always think that everything I say is right in order to get it done. What I say, you will do whatever it takes to do it."
The mutant named Kane stared at Stryker with his head tilted, as if to understand what he meant.
Seeing Kane's reaction, Stryker waved his hand and said, "Soldier, untie him."
"General, I don't recommend you to do this. The ability of Experimental 254 is very dangerous, we don't need to use this method to test!" The white coat on the side listened to Stryker's order and quickly discouraged.
This is only the most preliminary experimental results, and there is no need to use this dangerous way to confirm the effect of the experiment. If the experimental subject really loses control, with his ability, it is very likely to cause great danger to everyone present. Not just Stryker, but they could be injured or even killed.
"One of the most important reasons I don't like you guys is that you really don't have a little bit of courage." Stryker twitched the corners of his mouth, which was the maximum expression he was willing to show. "Follow my orders, soldier. Release his restraints."
For the soldiers here, Stryker's orders need to be carried out unconditionally. Whether or not they are really in danger as the researcher said.
Under Stryker's order, several soldiers stepped forward. They unlocked the locks around Kane's limbs, freeing him completely from the hard steel seat.
Kane, who left the seat, didn't do anything to worry, he looked around, and then walked slowly behind Stryker, like his shadow.
The corners of Stryker's mouth drew a curved arc, obviously Kane's performance satisfied him.
"Very well, Kane. Now, I order you, transform." He turned around and ordered softly to Kane behind him.
Kane took two steps back after hearing the words, and then the whole person began to change dramatically. His body was rising rapidly, and the texture of his skin appeared to be like wood. Soon, his whole body became like this, and it looked like a huge human figure carved out of wood.
"No no no, Kane. Not this kind of petty play. I want you to be in your most terrifying form. That huge form."
Kane's wooden eyes turned a few times, showing a bit of hesitation. But soon he nodded, and his body, which was already more than two meters tall, was changing again.
The woody skin began to quickly cover the bark-like shell, and his height rose again, and soon reached the top of the laboratory. On his head, the skull has changed into a shape that spreads outward, and a dense layer of green leaves covers the top of his head. At first glance, it feels like looking at the canopy of a tree.
And his physical changes are equally astonishing. The huge arm can no longer be seen in the shape of a human arm, but a thick tree stump with roots, a tree stump with the thickness of an ordinary person's waist extending from the position of the shoulders, swinging with the shaking of his shoulders. On his lower body, the same tree stump stood there, the difference was that the root system of his lower body was stronger and stronger. These sturdy roots even ripped apart the thick concrete floor and stabbed himself firmly into the ground.
At this time, Kane couldn't see the appearance of a human at all. If he had to say it, he looked like a big tree with a slightly human shape.
This is the ability of the tree man Kane. When fully released, he can grow into a human-shaped tree with a height of four meters. In this form, he can make slow movements, but he can use extremely huge strength. The huge stump of the arm alone can cause a heavy impact of about two tons. And as long as there are tree roots deep in the ground under her feet, she can continuously absorb nutrients and strength from the ground and recover from all kinds of injuries.
And his hard wooden skin can even block bullets from normal automatic weapons.
In the records in Stryker's hands, the Treant Kane's strength, defense, and recovery capabilities are beyond the level of ordinary mutants. Among the many prisoners under his command is also a rather dangerous type.
However, this danger is well within the scope of subduing. Because Kane's ability can't be maintained all the time. If Kane maintains this ability for a long time, his brain will gradually become a tree, and at that time he will really become a tree. So he will take the initiative to release this form after a certain period of time, and this time is not long, only about an hour or two.
Watching Kane transform into a huge tree, Stryker was not surprised. He is waiting, waiting for the final result. See if Kane will always obey his orders, or take the initiative to release this form out of self-protection.
Time ticked by, and Kane had a hard look on his contoured bark face. However, he did not move, still maintaining the form of his tree man. And Stryker kept looking at him like this, watching his expression gradually stiffen, watching his slightly shaking movements gradually stop, watching him turn into a real tree in front of him.
Two hours later, Stryker knocked on Kane's body, and a dull sound came from the hard body. That's the sound of premium wood.
"Kane, Kane. Please answer if you hear me!" He tried to call out a few times, but Kane, who had completely turned into a tree, had completely lost his ability to speak. Although he is still alive from the perspective of life, from the perspective of human beings, he is actually dead. brain death.
Stryker, who couldn't wait for Kane to reply, took out his gun and shot a few times against the tree. The bullet ripped open the outer bark, but embedded itself in the wood in the middle. If it was the usual Kane, and he could still feel the pain, maybe there would be some movements. But now, the whole tree is still.
"Looks like it really works!" Coming to this conclusion, Stryker put away his gun, ignoring the trees in front of him. "Soldier, clean up this guy. Just chop it up and throw it out. Don't stay in the way!"
"Now, tell me. How confident are you of repeating an experiment like this? How many doses can you make?"
The white coat discussed it for a while, and responded quickly.
"As long as the raw materials can support it, we can make a dose of about ten people. If more is needed, at least until the experimental subject 147 recovers itself."
"Use all the materials on hand first. I have plans to use them." Stryker waved and ordered. Then he looked outside the laboratory.
There, in the prisons, many prisoners were looking at him with a look of sadness and hatred. They are all mutants.
"Mutants are quite useful tools. With them, my plan will soon be realized." Muttering to himself, Stryker clenched his fists fiercely. He had waited too long for this day.
