Chapter 999

~7 min read 1,222 words

Trask Industries had a mutant file, which recorded various mutants with special abilities. Once these mutants were caught, they would be sent here and transformed into hounds.

Su Quan used his psychic ability to "attack" all the imprisoned mutants. Most of these mutants had already become qualified hounds under the influence of "Kick," and only a small part were still lingering on their last breaths, struggling to persist.

In the "kennel," one hound after another who had lost their sense of self collapsed to the ground almost at the same time, losing their breath.

The guards hurried forward to check, but suddenly heard a loud bang. The tightly closed door was smashed directly onto the ground, revealing two figures, a man and a woman.

Intruders?

While in disbelief, the guards drew their guns to prepare to shoot, but the guns in their hands suddenly generated a huge force, flew out of their hands directly, and landed in the woman's hands.

Lorna pointed the muzzle at him, the corners of her mouth raised slightly as she said: "Don't move around, be careful the gun goes..."

Before the word "off" could be spoken, the guard's expression had already become quiet and obedient.

Lorna looked at Su Quan with dissatisfaction: "Can you let me finish my sentence?"

Su Quan smiled and prevaricated: "Okay, next time... next time for sure..."

"Humph."

Lorna threw away the gun and looked at the individual glass cells on the left and right. Only one-fifth of the mutants still alive in the cells remained, about twenty people.

That is to say, only these twenty people had not been transformed into hounds and still had the value of being saved.

"My name is Lorna, his name is Su Quan, and we are from the underground organization. If you want to survive and escape from here, listen to our commands quietly, understand?"

The mutants still alive in the cells nodded frantically, and the light of hope reignited in their originally desperate, numb, and gray eyes.

Some of them had heard of Lorna, some had heard of Su Quan, and some had heard of the underground organization.

But they never dreamed that the big shots in the rumors would actually break into Trask Industries directly to save them, strangers with whom they had no relatives or connections.

"Click, click, click—"

A series of crisp sounds.

The doors of the cells were opened one after another by the guards.

The mutants who came out of the cells hadn't had time to be happy, hadn't had time to express their gratitude to Su Quan and Lorna, when they hurriedly followed their figures as they turned and left at Su Quan's waving signal.

More than twenty people returned to the laboratory in a mighty force. Lorna explained the current situation to them. Hearing their purpose for coming here, these rescued mutants were all dumbfounded.

They actually controlled the researchers of Trask Industries and were helping them do experiments in the laboratory of Trask Industries?

This, this is too fierce!

They knew better than anyone what kind of place Trask Industries was; this was the hell of mutants. Even if Su Quan had psychic ability and the ability to teleport, this behavior still shocked them incomparably.

The experiment still needed some time to produce results, so Su Quan simply summoned Friday and let her hack into Trask Industries' system, copying the experiments related to the hound project and the formula for Kick.

If the former were made public, Trask Industries would definitely be ruined and closed down, because some things are like racial discrimination; they can be done privately, but cannot be put on the table.

The latter had no practical value for Su Quan. He didn't bother to use drugs to control mutants, but this formula and Otto's research had many similarities, only the effects were opposite.

One was to suppress mutant abilities, and the other was to amplify mutant abilities.

Su Quan suspected that Dr. Campbell created Kick through Otto's research and extended the hound project from it.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

A series of rhythmic footsteps came from outside the laboratory from far to near. The rescued mutants' expressions changed as soon as they heard the footsteps. Some were panicked, some were steady...

Overall, they were still calm!

The agents surrounded the laboratory with guns. Dr. Campbell's face was gloomy, and he saw Su Quan at first glance.

No way, some people are like gold shining in the sand, just so dazzling and standing out from the crowd.

"It's you again!"

"Su Quan!"

The pit Su Quan dug last time when he caused a scene at the Sentinel Services had just been filled, and this time he actually came to his own company again and killed all the carefully raised hounds. Dr. Campbell's attitude toward Su Quan now could be summed up in four words—gnashing his teeth!

Su Quan waved his hand with a smile: "How does that saying go? Oh, there's always a reason for meeting; it's either a gift or a lesson. Which one do you think this time will be?"

Dr. Campbell said grimly: "Are you threatening me?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Su Quan said with a grin: "If you don't want a threat, do you want a greeting? I'm afraid you can't afford my greeting..."

Dr. Campbell said coldly: "Tell me, what is your purpose for coming here?"

The hounds were all killed by him, and the mutants were also saved by him, but he didn't take people away. What did he want to do?

Wait!

Dr. Campbell narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Otto, who was controlled by agents behind him.

…………

Could Su Quan's purpose for coming here be for the research on suppressing mutant genes?

It was a coincidence. Su Quan and Lorna had just left Otto's antique shop, and Dr. Campbell found Otto right after.

The two sides were one after the other, just missing each other.

Dr. Campbell's purpose for finding Otto wasn't for the research on suppressing mutant genes. After all, this research hadn't been verified within the company, and he didn't know Reed was also a mutant.

He was looking for Otto because he was worried that the underground organization would follow the clues through him to find the location of Trask Industries.

But Otto didn't know that.

The underground organization members who came for this research had just left, and when they left, they said something about coming to save him and telling him to take care of himself, and then Dr. Campbell brought people over.

According to normal logic, Otto naturally subconsciously thought that Dr. Campbell was also here for this research, and then he confessed without being asked.

Although he didn't admit the effectiveness of this research, Dr. Campbell was too familiar and understood this research too well. His abnormal mention of this research naturally made Dr. Campbell suspicious, and he prepared to ask him well after returning.

Now there was no need to ask. Dr. Campbell was 90% sure that this research had succeeded, and... had succeeded before!

When Dr. Campbell looked at Otto, Su Quan naturally noticed him too. This old man was caught so quickly?

Tsk tsk tsk, I just left, and he was caught. He wouldn't think I was the one who tipped them off, would he?
