Chapter 2713 New Xanadu (Part )
Charles looked at the flickering fire in the fireplace and felt sleepy. He kept muttering, "When your people came to me, I was shocked. I don't know how many tons of water went into my brain to really believe your fantastic plan."
"The facts prove that I was right." Eric continued to say, "It has lived up to our expectations. The East Three Islands provided the first foothold for the mutants, and it is also the foundation for us to explore the universe today."
"But you are still too bold." Charles muttered in a low voice, "I don't know why I was crazy, but I actually did it with you."
"I've said it before, you're a crazy professor and I'm a crazy terrorist, this way we can tolerate each other for decades." Eric said while still covering his homework, while Charles had fallen asleep.
Perhaps what you think about during the day you dream about at night, or perhaps sleep in the spiritual world is more disturbed by previous thoughts. Charles dreamed of that crazy era and the legendary adventure between him, Eric and all the mutants.
On October 1945, 10, Charles, who was still a young man, joined the army and came to the Middle East with the team. However, at that time he was not liked by his superiors and only served as a small patrol member.
But at that time Charles already possessed remarkable psychic abilities, so when he discovered that a mysterious mutant suddenly appeared in his jurisdiction, he almost immediately found him and read the other's thoughts.
He was a spy sent by a man who called himself Eric Lanshere. His purpose was to find a gang leader named Farok in the vicinity. The reason for looking for him was to recruit him because this man named Farok had telepathic abilities.
Charles had only heard of Farok, but had never actually seen him, nor had he come into contact with other telepaths. After reading the news, Charles could not help but leave his jurisdiction, and eventually he met Farok.
Unfortunately, Farok disappointed him greatly. The other party could only read minds superficially and was unable to use mental 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 mental blasting ability to turn the other party into a fool.
This could be said to be the first time that Charles used his psychic powers to attack others. He felt very nervous and ran back to the jurisdiction. Not long after, he heard the news of Farlock's death.
This greatly annoyed his superiors, because he was in collusion with the gangster boss. Charles was not sure that he could remain completely invisible, so he wanted to find a way out for himself.
So he went to the person sent by Eric and claimed that he also had psychic abilities, but he did not tell the complete truth. He only said that he could read minds. The other party brought news that shocked Charles: the mutants were preparing to establish a country.
Even in modern times, this is shocking news, and in that era, mutants were third-class citizens in every country.
When Charles was in the United States, he often heard a joke: someone on a bus gave up his seat to a black man. Guess who he was? That's right, a black mutant.
The vast majority of mutants accepted their fate, and even Charles hid his abilities, pretending to be an ordinary person living among the crowd. When he suddenly heard such news, he was shocked beyond words.
But the news had not yet been widely spread at this time. It could only be said that countries around the world were determined to do so. Charles found reports about the East Three Islands in the nearest town and immediately realized what these countries wanted to do.
So Charles followed Eric's men, not intending to join him, but to stop him.
In his opinion, the radioactive East Three Islands were not a good place at all. It was simply a conspiracy by ordinary people to weaken mutants. This stupid Eric Lanshell actually believed it.
And because of his strength, he does have some influence. It is said that he has recruited many powerful mutants. Charles is extremely anxious and wants to rush over and punch Eric to wake him up.
At 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 and had no time to see anyone.
Later, Anya's health condition improved, and Charles was able to get close to Eric. But at that time, the Brotherhood of Mutants had already taken shape, and Charles was not very proud in front of Eric, so naturally he couldn't say much.
After observing for a while, Charles discovered that although Eric was serious, old-fashioned and stubborn, he, like most people, liked to speak based on his strength and he could only remember the strong.
So Charles had to direct and act out a loss of control of his abilities in order to shock Eric. This loss of control affected almost the entire world, letting all countries in the world know that another mutant as powerful as a god had arrived.
From then on, Eric and Charles became good friends and could be said to be the closest comrades-in-arms, because Charles heard the whole picture of the secret plan from Eric.
It looks like a mutant extermination plan, but in fact it is exactly what Eric wants, because Eric has already contacted a being who can exert a significant influence in this matter——.
It cannot be said that they are friendly to mutants at this time, because they are too poor and weak, but the only good thing is that in their war to defend their country, mutants have made great efforts, and they are now a united front.
Since the mutants have shed blood and sweat for them, these mutants who have never had any contact with them will also feel a little bit of affection when they meet. If they have some common interests, they will be natural allies.
The East Three Islands are a good opportunity to establish common interests.
It is impossible to allow the United States and the Soviet Union to interfere in such an important position. Even the most short-sighted strategist knows that this is a battleground and must not be lost.
But the problem is that they are really seriously injured. If they continue fighting, their foundation will be damaged. It would be best if they could be defeated by non-violent means, but facing the two huge monsters in front of them, they are really powerless.
The importance of mutants is reflected at this time. Since I can't get it, the best result is to make sure that the other party can't get it either. After all, I am the closest to it, so if there are any changes in the future, I will have the greatest chance.
Not everyone can make the decision to exchange temporary tolerance for a century of development opportunity, but in the end they chose the most advantageous path.
Just like that, Eric hooked up with the , the two parties reached an exchange of interests, and sent some mutants who could control the weather to help Eric clear the radiation on the East Three Islands as much as possible. Of course, Eric himself would also contribute, his magnetic field power was invaluable, and the news of his coming to the East Three Islands to lay the foundation would be concealed to paralyze other countries and prevent them from going back on their word.
In the next hundred years, mutants will build their own homes here and recuperate. The two sides will work together to help mutants find a broader world when there is an opportunity.
Although they have found a solid ally, the situation is still not optimistic for the mutants. It goes without saying what those countries are thinking of by throwing them there. Once they realize that the mutants are well prepared and that it is not that simple, 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 information flow was slow in ancient times and there were many strange and supernatural stories, it was difficult to distinguish who was a mutant, who was an ordinary strong man, and who had other unspeakable secrets in history.
Since 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 discovery was not comprehensive enough and the classification was not very scientific. They were roughly divided into melee and ranged types, and the specific principles were not discussed in depth.
Therefore, people's understanding of Eric, the leader of the emerging mutants, is probably limited to his ability to control metal. Many people call him the Metal King, and Eric is deliberately indulging this trend.
As for those with more hidden psychic abilities, even fewer people know about them. Although some scholars have made speculations, most people are unwilling to admit it. Because if such people exist, wouldn't the dirty secrets in their hearts have been exposed long ago?
As the leader of the mutants, Eric himself has seen this kind of people before, so he is searching for psychics around the world, and Charles is a surprise to him.
Charles's loss of control of his abilities made the world realize that there are such powerful psychics in the world. This attracted the attention of countries around the world and also added an extra layer of insurance for Eric's plan.
The time when Charles confronted Eric was the best excuse. The two of them pretended to break up. Charles publicly stated that he had seen through the conspiracies of countries around the world, and Eric was the mutant comprador they cultivated, with the purpose of leading the mutants into the fire pit. For a while, the two were like water and fire.
Even after the conspiracy was exposed, the countries were not in a hurry. They pretended to send teams of experts to the three islands for testing, claiming that there was absolutely no problem with the radiation level on the three islands, and that the natural environment was beautiful and very suitable for living.
Ordinary people are still the ones who hold the right to speak in this society. Various authoritative institutions have issued test reports, but Charles could not produce any evidence, and he really fooled many mutants living in the society of ordinary people.
They used all kinds of tricks to slander Charles, weaken his influence in the mutant community and promote Eric.
That's right, in this stage of the confrontation, their positions were completely reversed. Eric was a big shot in various governments, while Charles was suppressed and frustrated. Until he returned to his old manor, he never talked about the establishment of a mutant nation again.
What no one knew was that the pattern of these two mutant leaders, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, began to emerge from this moment on.
The countries thought there were no more obstacles, so they drove out all the mutants they knew in the country smoothly, and successively enacted laws requiring newborns to be tested. Once the X gene was detected, they would automatically obtain the citizenship of the mutant country instead of their own nationality, and they were required to leave the country before the age of seven.
So team after team of mutants were forced to board planes to an unknown place. Some believed they would arrive at a new paradise, while others believed it was just another gas chamber.
The politicians who are the real culprits are convinced that it is the latter. They can't wait to see these damn mutants who keep causing trouble for them in their jurisdiction die wailing in radiation.
The final result, of course, was shocking.
