Chapter 93: Charles's Apprehensions! The Stitched Mutants!
Bang—!
Jiang Bai's mind stirred, and all the bullets suspended around him returned along their original paths, directly shooting and killing all the armed personnel! After confirming they were all dead, Jiang Bai slowly walked forward. It was as if he was returning to his own home, curious to look at everything, not treating this place as HYDRA's Base at all.
This scene was also recorded by the surveillance cameras within the HYDRA Base, which made the faces of the HYDRA higher-ups in the Base extremely grim. They never imagined that Jiang Bai would directly barge in! And with a demeanor as if he was returning home, not putting them in his eyes in the slightest.
"Damn it, how did he know about this Base?!"
"Officer, ordinary armed squads are simply no match for him; we need to let those Mutants act!"
"Alright, have all the Mutants attack together. I want this Silver White Knight to die here! He seems to have quite a few abilities; perhaps we will gain a new research subject!"
"Yes, Officer!"
In an office within the underground Base, the HYDRA higher-up of the Base cursed as he looked at the surveillance footage displayed on the computer! The moment Jiang Bai appeared, he had already recognized him. He wasn't sure how strong Jiang Bai's power was, but he wanted to know how Jiang Bai had found this Base even more.
This Base had never been discovered since its construction, yet Jiang Bai just walked in brazenly, looking like he was returning to his own home! HYDRA did not know that Jiang Bai possessed Mind Reading ability; only a few people knew that Jiang Bai possessed Mind Reading ability.
Otherwise, HYDRA would very likely not have attacked Jiang Bai's manor, because once they launched an attack and exposed their HYDRA identity, they would face the full destruction of various U.S. organizations! World War II was due to HYDRA, which is why America deeply detests the organization HYDRA.
There are many people in this World who possess Mind Reading, even Charles knows of HYDRA's existence! But he did not tell Nick Fury; anyone who knows why S.H.I.E.L.D. was established understands what HYDRA means to S.H.I.E.L.D..
Knowing does not mean Charles would speak out. HYDRA's existence can, in certain circumstances, restrain S.H.I.E.L.D.! It is not yet suitable for it to be exposed. If America and the international community are preparing to eliminate all Mutants, then S.H.I.E.L.D. will definitely be the first to act.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is said to be an organization that protects Earth and humanity, but to put it bluntly, it is merely a dog for the International Security Council and America! Most of the members of the International Security Council are high-ranking U.S. officials, and most of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s funding comes from America.
Facing America's mandatory orders, Nick Fury simply cannot refuse. Just like in the timeline, when the International Security Council ordered the launch of nuclear bombs, even if Nick Fury disagreed, there would still be S.H.I.E.L.D. members who would activate fighter jets to launch nuclear bombs.
So how could Charles possibly tell Nick Fury about HYDRA's existence? Charles likely knows that there are many HYDRA members within S.H.I.E.L.D.; that old fellow's Cerebro is terrifyingly powerful. He probably even knows about Kamar-Taj's existence.
Even if Ancient One can be immune to psychic intrusion amplified by Cerebro, can other people in Kamar-Taj? Even with the protection of the Sanctum, Kamar-Taj's sorcerers will appear in various cities, and there will always be accidents that Charles will know about.
Charles is committed to letting humans and Mutants coexist peacefully, but if humans want Mutants to be exterminated, would Charles truly remain indifferent? The more one knows, the more apprehensions one has. A single Sentinel and Kamar-Taj are insurmountable mountains for him.
Therefore, Charles can only try to make humans and Mutants coexist peacefully, perhaps also due to his original philosophy. After all, in a World with only Mutants, Charles is such a good person, or rather, a bleeding heart.
Boom—!
Soon, Jiang Bai encountered the Mutant attack dispatched by the HYDRA higher-ups in the Base. Jiang Bai tried to use Mind Reading against them, but it had no effect whatsoever! Either they had something that defended against psychic abilities, or these Mutants no longer had their own thoughts, having completely become walking dead.
He raised his hand to create an ice wall to block the opponent's energy attack. A total of five Mutants appeared; the other four were Mutants with strange physical features, while only the Mutant releasing energy attacks had no difference in appearance from an ordinary person.
Clearly, the Mutants with strange physical features almost all had physical abilities, while only the Mutant with no difference from an ordinary person had other abilities. Relatively speaking, Mutants with no difference from an ordinary person have higher potential.
Boom—!
The ice wall was quickly shattered by two of the Mutants with scales on their bodies. Upon seeing Jiang Bai, blue beams of light suddenly shot from their eyes. This scene startled Jiang Bai, who instantly dodged the opponent's attack using the Rabbit Talisman.
He hadn't expected Mutants with such abnormal physical conditions to have such attack methods, but he quickly noticed something was wrong! Because these two Mutants had different arm sizes: one was covered in green scales, while the other had no scales at all but was thicker than the other arm!
Looking at their uncoordinated appearance, a guess flashed through Jiang Bai's mind: he seriously suspected that these Mutants were monsters stitched together by HYDRA scientists! They combined different Mutant abilities to give them greater power!
This method made even Jiang Bai tremble in his heart; it was too cruel! This kind of experiment is not that easy to succeed. To stitch together such a Mutant, how many Mutants must be sacrificed...? Could it be that none of them can be controlled by Mind Reading?
Bang—!
While Jiang Bai was deep in thought, another Mutant rushed over at an extremely fast speed. He could even run on walls, but his running posture was very strange, clearly also a monster stitched together! Even though his speed was indeed extraordinary, he still couldn't touch Jiang Bai, who was boosted by the Rabbit Talisman.
He was even kicked away with a side kick. With the power of the Ox Talisman, one kick sent this Mutant flying backward, crashing into a metal wall not far away. The powerful impact also caused a dent in the metal wall!
The other four Mutants also launched an attack on Jiang Bai at this moment. A white energy attack was emitted from the chest of the ordinary-looking Mutant; the white energy was very thick! However, it still did not hit Jiang Bai. As he dodged...
