Chapter 30: Replicas in the laboratory

With rows of neatly arranged cages and various experimental data hanging on the walls, Logan could even imagine the wailing of his fellow humans in the cages before they died when this place was still in operation.

In this laboratory, mutants are just a group of animals that are not much different from pigs, cows, dogs and sheep.

Logan's fists clenched unconsciously. He didn't expect that the goods Donald mentioned would be mutant experimental samples!

"Mutants are truly complex creatures."

Samuel bent down and stared carefully at a cage. Through the gap in the cage, he could see that the cage was empty.

He turned back and asked Donald: "But...isn't it a crime to carry out experimental transformation of human beings?"

From the information on the wall, he could tell that various experiments had been conducted on mutants here.

But he had no feelings for mutants.

Humans living in a new era, these three words mutants, they sound more like mysterious creatures from the last century.

In addition, the government deliberately erases information about mutants in an attempt to make the world forget the fact that they once saved the world. Therefore, young people like Samuel know very little about mutants and are psychologically indifferent. If you hate it, you won't care.

So they were far less shocked than Logan was about using mutants to study this matter.

"It's legal."

Donald spoke with a smile, and at the same time glanced at Logan's gloomy face, his eyes filled with amusement.

"Okay, where is the goods? Get them and leave as soon as possible. I don't want to spend the night here. Maybe there will be ghosts of mutants at night!"

Qiao Sheer asked, the surrounding environment made him feel a little creepy.

He could guess that countless mutants must have been killed here, and judging from the photos on the wall, there seemed to be some small mutants among them.

"Follow me."

Donald smiled, walked to a wall, stretched out his hand and knocked on the wall. The hollow echo showed that there was a hole behind the wall.

He used both hands to open the wall and create a deep passage. Dust continued to scatter, and a rotten smell spread from inside.

"Generally, the experimental subjects or samples outside are just for children, and they are not worth much at all. Bringing them back is not even enough to cover the travel expenses."

Donald smiled and pointed to the passage, "The highlight is at the very end."

"What do you mean?"

Samuel looked at the passage with a puzzled look on his face.

Logan remained silent. He knew that Donald was deliberately mocking the cheapness of mutants. The value of some mutants was not even as much as the cost of gas.

He also secretly said that mutants are just a group of things that can be measured by price and are not worthy of being compared with humans.

Logan knew that this was Donald's nature, he loved poking people where they hurt and making them look ugly, and he took pleasure in doing so.

Several people walked through the narrow passage and came to a more secretive laboratory.

Donald turned on the light, and the dim laboratory was instantly illuminated by strong light.

What came into view were twenty-four iron boxes. In twenty-two of them, through the gaps, "people" could be vaguely seen lying inside.

"Corpse?"

Samuel lowered his head and looked carefully at a gap, and suddenly jumped up in fright.

He was not afraid of dead people, but these shocking rows of mutant corpses really made him feel a little frightened.

It really feels like déjà vu in Resident Evil.

"Don't be afraid."

Donald walked towards the depths and said with a smile: "They can no longer threaten us."

After speaking, he pointed to the few iron boxes at the back and said: "The first few are not important, the last ones are the highlight."

"This first one only had the characteristics of a mutant. He was covered in wolf hair, but he didn't have any superpowers. He was a failed experiment and was executed."

Donald smiled and patted the first iron box, then pointed to the second one, "The second one made a little progress and restored the mutant's abilities, but it's a pity that his cells divided too fast, and his organs were destroyed alive." worn out."

"This is the third one."

Donald walked to the third iron box and said with regret: "He almost succeeded and reproduced all the abilities of mutants. Unfortunately, his willpower was too weak and he couldn't bear the metal poured into him, so he died in the experiment." On stage.”

Samuel and Josh frowned unconsciously, and Donald spoke of death too easily.

"This is too cruel."

Samuel couldn't help but raise doubts. These methods of death were a bit difficult for normal people to accept, and judging from the appearance of these corpses, they seemed to be young.

Donald smiled, shook his head and said, "There is no need to feel bad about the death of the mice. They are just experimental subjects. The only purpose of their birth is to allow us to record data."

"So, the experiment was successful and this place was abandoned?" Qiao Sheer couldn't help but ask.

"Um..." Donald thought for a moment and smiled: "Pretty much, we are now at the borderline between success and failure."

"What do you mean?" Samuel asked confused.

Donald came to the last two boxes, "You should also notice that two boxes here are empty."

"What's the meaning?"

Samuel ran to the empty box and asked curiously: "They succeeded, so they were not executed?"

"Yes."

Donald pointed to the empty box numbered X-24, "There's nothing wrong with it except that it's weak."

"What about X-23?"

Samuel looked at another empty box next to him.

"She ran away."

Donald shook his head with regret, "She is the most successful one. She has copied all the advantages of that mutant, and is even stronger than that mutant in some aspects!"

After speaking, he suddenly raised his head and continued to smile: "I am looking for her now. It is said that she is in Santa Fe City. If anyone among you can help me find her, I will reward you handsomely."

"You have consumed more than 20 experimental subjects...

Josh looked back at the rows of boxes behind him and couldn't help asking: "Who do you want to copy?"

After the introduction, he could see that the ultimate goal of these experimental subjects seemed to be to copy the ability of a mutant.

For this goal, they did not hesitate to kill more than 20 "people".

And obviously, there may be only two who succeeded, or even only one.

How special is the object of the copy that will make the laboratory pay so much.

"Who? "

Donald suddenly smiled, took out a very old-looking blueprint from under an iron box, and gently unfolded it and spread it on the box.

The top of the paper read "Conceptual Anatomy of Wolverine."

Below was the anatomical information of a human figure with steel claws, and each organ was marked next to it.

Josh put his head over the paper and murmured the name on it: "Wolverine?"

When this name entered his ears, Logan's face suddenly darkened.
