Bob and about two hundred people boarded the ferry to Tuvalu. Among them were ordinary travelers and reporters who wanted to explore Tuvalu. At the same time, there were also ordinary mutants like Bob who wanted to join Tuvalu.
Bob saw at least five such people because the changes on their bodies were too obvious. This was because the changes on their bodies were too obvious. For example, one of them had a breathing organ that looked like gills on his neck.
He was most likely an amphibious person who could breathe on land and water. However, the gills on his neck must have affected his daily life. The gill man couldn't completely cover his gills even if he wore a high-collared shirt.
A lot of people must have thought of him as an alien. Bob sighed in his heart because he couldn't see any expression related to happiness or joy on the gill man's face. He always had a frown and a sullen face.
This wasn't surprising at all. Bob guessed that a man who looked like a fish was probably not very popular in his life. He could only breathe through his ears. From his appearance, he looked no different from an ordinary person. Even so, there were still people who yelled at him.
Bob felt a bit of sympathy for the gill man, but he didn't plan to talk to him. Because looking at the man's bitter and hateful expression, if he talked to him, it might cause the man's disgust.
There were also a few other mutants who were more obvious. One of them had very strange ears. They looked like wolf ears, but he didn't know if they had wolf hearing.
Another guy's arms were abnormally thick, much thicker than his body. It looked like two giant bear arms were installed on an ordinary person's body. This guy probably had the strength of a bear?
There was another guy with very sharp eyes, and the shape of his pupils was like that of an eagle. This guy probably had the eyes of an eagle?
The last guy walked on two legs strangely. Bob unintentionally observed that he seemed to have a pair of recurved legs. Like some felines, long and powerful. If he could run as fast as Bob's Harley motorcycle, Bob wouldn't be surprised at all.
After all, there were all kinds of mutants. Maybe this guy had the speed of a leopard.
Okay, wolf ears, bear strength, eagle eyes, and leopard speed. Who knows if these four people could be combined to become the [Brest Sheriff] (Note). Oh, if the Gill Man's ability was included, perhaps the Brest Sheriff would have an additional [Fish's Breath]!
Bob's mind was in a mess. He was also a little uneasy about his future. Was Tuvalu a home for the mutated humans to live in? He could already see the edge of the island in the distance. Tuvalu was getting closer and closer.
The five of them also walked to the side of the ship. They saw that Tuvalu was right in front of them, and everyone's breathing was a little heavy.
… …
"Why do you want to join Tuvalu?" A handsome man greeted Bob and his team. His appearance was sunny, and he wore a smile on his face. If it weren't for the pair of angel wings on his back that reminded him that he was also a Mutant, Bob would have thought that he had met a well-educated rich kid.
Bob knew the man. He had seen him on TV. The media called him one of the Queen's Four Knights: Warren Worthington.
The Gill Man looked at Warren with some envy and even a little extreme. Warren was also a Mutant with an incomplete body. According to the classification of Mutants, Warren had not actually reached the Gamma level. In other words, he had powerful abilities, but at the same time, he had a huge flaw. This type of people was represented by people like Pixie.
Warren had wings that allowed him to fly, and he also had some ability to speed up the recovery of injuries and some additional small abilities. However, he was still far from having powerful abilities. If one were to compare, Warren was actually between the failed evolution of Epsilon level (weak abilities, but huge flaws that affected his life) and the Gamma level.
Perhaps the Gill Man could not fly, but his mutant ability allowed him to stay in the water for a month without a problem. He could live a perfect life underwater, just like a fish.
However, the treatment of a fish and the treatment of an angel were worlds apart. The Gill Man was already 25 years old, but he did not even have a girlfriend until now. Everyone was disgusted by the gills on his neck.
However, Warren only posted two selfies on Weibo, and a bunch of female fans left comments below, saying that they wanted to have little angels with him. Countless people thought that Angel's pair of big wings was so cool!
Diving is also a very cool ability, okay? Why couldn't it be compared to a pair of beautiful wings?! They were all Mutants, but why was there such a huge difference in treatment? The Gill Man felt hopeless in this world that only cared about appearances.
They were all Epsilon level, but the side effects of the failed evolution of the Gill Man and the other four were much worse than growing a pair of big wings. No one would think that they were cool.
Therefore, the Gill Man was a little uncomfortable with Warren's question. "It's obvious that the five of us are not well liked. People point at my nose and call me Catfish Monster. I think the four of them are in a similar situation. We just want to find a place to live with less discrimination and find a suitable job. My ability is diving. Without any equipment, I can only dive up to 120 meters. Any deeper and the water pressure will crush me. "
The Gill Man briefly explained his ability. In fact, it was already amazing. If an ordinary person didn't wear any equipment, diving to 20 meters was already their limit.
After the Gill Man, the Eagle's Eyes, the Wolf's Ears, the Leopard's Speed, and the Bear's Strength also introduced their abilities. Their reason was the same as the Gill Man. Although they had mutant abilities, the mutation in their bodies made them unpopular among ordinary people.
Therefore, they wanted to find a safe haven. When it was Bob's turn, he suddenly found it hard to speak. He could breathe through his ears? Well, compared to the five people in front of him, Bob felt that he was a fake mutant.
For the Gill Man and the other four, ordinary places couldn't accommodate them, so they chose to come to Tuvalu.
Angel Warren nodded. "I understand. But here, I want to provide you with a small choice. Have you seen 'The Matrix'? "
As the pinnacle of R-rated movies, 'The Matrix' trilogy was renowned around the world. Very few people didn't know about this movie.
The people in front of him nodded to show that they knew about the movie. Angel Warren continued. "Right now, you have two choices. Just like the choice placed in front of Neo (the male lead of 'The Matrix'). The red pill or the blue pill? You have a chance to make the same choice. "
"We have created a batch of drugs that can alleviate the side effects of removing the X gene. But the side effect is that your Ability X will be reduced to zero. You will still have the potential X gene in you, but it will become a state of waiting to be activated. Therefore, according to the current inspection standards, you will no longer be mutants. "
Angel Warren threw out a huge temptation. "Choose one of the two. Become a normal person and return to a normal life, or continue to join Tuvalu?"
Bob looked at Warren in shock. The breathing of the Gill Man and the other four grew heavier.
PS Note: Sheriff Bresta was an American cartoon released in 1987. The main character, Sheriff Bresta, had the strength of a bear, the eyes of an eagle, the speed of a leopard, and the ears of a wolf. This was Bob's favorite cartoon when he was young. He thought it was cool.
