For a base that had been established for more than 30 years and was responsible for secret research missions, there was no shortage of equipment. At the very least, they had to ensure that they could be self-sufficient in a short period of time when the outside world was sealed off.
Therefore, Saber's physical examination was completed after an hour. However, Professor Hawkins, who was seriously short of manpower, said that it would take at least 20 minutes to wait for the test results. So, taking advantage of this opportunity, Saber began to do some other things.
For example, the most popular thing was to receive the spoils of war.
"Beep … beep … beep …"
The strange sound of the phone being connected rang in Saber's ears. He was sitting in Stryker's spacious office, using the completely encrypted communication device here to contact those people whose numbers he could barely remember.
It was just that three years had passed in the outside world, and things had changed a lot. His father's phone couldn't be reached at all, and Robin's phone was also busy. It wasn't until the third call that the voice that he missed rang.
"Hello."
Catherine was bored to death as she sat at the back of the classroom in Xavier Castle. Teacher Orolo was in the middle of a lecture. The little girl secretly picked up her phone and pressed it to her ear. She said impatiently, "Who are you? How do you know my phone number? "
“...”
There was silence on the other side for a few seconds. Catherine frowned, and her tone became more and more impatient.
"If you don't talk, I'll hang up!"
"Catherine …"
The voice on the other side was trembling, but the little girl who was in class reacted more violently. She suddenly stood up from her chair and shouted, "Saber? Saber, it's you! Am I right? "
"I'm in Canada. I don't know the specific location … but I'll go back to see you soon. Take care of yourself and wait for me. I'll be back soon."
Saber's eyes were a little sore. He didn't know what to say, and he didn't know where the damn base was now. He couldn't let the little girl pick him up. Most importantly, he had other things to do before he went back, so he could only say a lot of vague things.
"God, you're still alive. That's great … that's great."
Catherine's tears fell from her eyes like a broken string of pearls. She hugged her phone and rushed out of the classroom, leaving behind a dumbfounded Ororo and the other students. However, considering that Catherine Hawk had always been the "problem girl" of Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youths, the others were not surprised.
"Speaking of which, Catherine is really cute when she cries …"
Bobby, who was sitting beside Catherine, was lost in his thoughts as he thought about some impolite things. But considering that they were young boys and girls who had just experienced their first awakening of love, it was understandable. The problem girl, Catherine, was one of the most beautiful girls in the Xavier Academy.
Swish!
Catherine passed through the wall of Professor Charles' office in a very cool way. The professor, who was reading a book, raised his head and glanced at her. His bespectacled eyes were full of doubts.
"Is something the matter? Catherine? "
"My brother is looking for you, Professor!"
Catherine handed the very cute pink phone in her hand to Professor Charles. The latter was stunned for a moment, then his face became serious. He took off his glasses and took the phone.
"Saber, it's me, Charles."
"It's like this … I just destroyed an evil base that used mutated humans for human experiments."
Saber stood in Stryker's office and looked at the noisy children who were cleaning up the base under the command of Santals. He couldn't help but rub his forehead and said to Professor Charles.
"The worst thing is that there are now more than 20 mutated children who have been abused for several years. They are very miserable. I released them, and according to my observation, these children have great potential …"
This was completely nonsense. Those who were caught by Stryker for research must be very promising mutated children. Those Epsilon level weaklings were nothing in Stryker's eyes.
"Professor, I don't know where I am now, and I can't run around with these children, so I want to ask, are you interested in taking over?"
He smacked his lips, "Well, take me out of this desolate place by the way."
Charles' expression became cold, especially when he heard the words "human experiments". Catherine, who was standing in front of him, felt that even the surrounding air seemed to have turned into a substantial pressure. This of course was not an illusion. At this moment, the angry voice of Professor X appeared in the minds of all the instructors of the entire Xavier Academy for Gifted Youths. They immediately put down what they were doing and prepared for the sudden trip.
"Saber, wait for me for a day … by this time tomorrow at the latest, I will be there."
The professor solemnly made a promise. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"Thank you for everything you've done for this race. Take care of those poor children, please."
He put down the phone with a gentle smile on his face. He reached out and patted Catherine's head. Looking at the little girl's expectant eyes, the professor nodded.
"Go, pack your things, you'll come with us."
"Yeah! Long live the professor! "
Catherine screamed and rushed out of the professor's room. Her scream of surprise could even be heard through the wall, but just after Catherine left, Professor Charles' expression became cold again. He closed his eyes and extended his huge mental power, which was rare for him. After a while, he whispered with uncontrollable anger in his voice.
"Nick Fury … I need an explanation!"
After the phone call, Saber threw the phone aside happily. He opened Stryker's drawer and saw a black metal scroll. He picked it up curiously and twisted it a few times. It seemed that it could be opened. He was curious about what was inside, but just when he was about to twist it forcibly, Professor Hawkins' voice sounded.
"Don't touch it!"
"Huh?"
Saber looked at the professor who came in with a stack of information in his hand. The latter looked at the metal scroll in his hand with lingering fear and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
"That's an encrypted information storage device. Forcibly opening it will trigger the high explosives in it. The power is enough to destroy this office. It is generally used to store important information."
Hearing this, Saber suddenly became interested. He waved the scroll in his hand, "What's in here?"
"I don't know."
Professor Hawkins put the information in his hand in front of Saber. He shook his head, "This thing needs a special opening password. It seems that Stryker left in a hurry and left this thing behind."
"Okay."
Saber put the scroll aside and looked at the information. The numbers and various symbols on it made him dizzy. He simply threw the information aside, crossed his hands on the table, and looked at Hawkins.
"Tell me, professor, what's wrong with my body?"
"The problem is very big and serious."
Hawkins sat in the chair opposite Saber, "Your genetic chain has been repaired by 90% in a special catalytic process. All the previous messy genetic fragments have been repaired and used to strengthen your strength, agility, and physical fitness, but … the remaining 10% is still deteriorating. If you can't find a way to suppress it …"
The old professor glanced at Saber and lowered his voice, "Your body will eventually collapse quickly, just like before."
"But I feel healthy!"
Saber patted his chest, "I think I only have a little problem left to overcome."
Hawkins couldn't help but take off his glasses when he heard this. He sighed.
"I don't have to lie to you, Saber. I'm counting on you to help me save my grandchildren. Because 90% of your genetic chain is normal, your final collapse will be sudden, like the first domino that is pushed over. In a very short time, your body will completely collapse, and until the 10% of your genetic chain collapses, you will be healthy."
"This is a chain process, Saber. If we can't find a way, it will eventually come."
Saber silently took out a box of exquisite cigars from another drawer and held them in his mouth. After a while, he looked up.
"How much longer?"
Professor Hawkins was silent for a moment, then raised a finger. "Based on the current genetic stability, it won't be more than a year. And if you use the ability to devour multiple times, it will be even shorter."
"I don't have to lie to you, professor."
Saber's fingers jumped on the table. "I used Victor's serum to devour his self-healing ability. That's how I recovered. Do you think this method is feasible?"
"I see …"
Professor Hawkins was enlightened. "No wonder you can recover so quickly. The self-healing ability of Victor and his brother Logan is also one of the best in the world, but … it's hard to say. Saber, your ability to devour has a shortcoming. The same genes can only be strengthened, but it can't be repeated. According to what you said, your ability to devour Victor's genes has reached its limit. But, maybe we can try another person."
"Logan?"
Saber's eyes narrowed. After a moment, he nodded. "Very well, I'll get his blood. Now, let's talk about what's in the base. Let me see what Stryker left for me."
The old professor took out a small recording device from his pocket and put it in front of his eyes. He put on his glasses and whispered like an old butler.
"The most valuable thing must be the remaining 54 kg of liquid adamantium. According to the price I've seen, it's worth at least 200 million!"
"And then …"
"Wait, professor, tell me more about this adamantium …"
Saber remembered the sharp blades on the woman's fingers when he fought with Yuriko. The sharpness and firmness were still fresh in his memory.
"Uh, okay."
Professor Hawkins put down the instrument in his hand and coughed softly. "The so-called adamantium is actually a special metal native to eastern Africa. I don't know much about it, but I know that Stryker injected this metal into Logan's body. Its hardness and firmness are incredible, almost surpassing any metal we can find. It's extremely dense, and once it solidifies, it can't be smelted again."
"In Africa, some people call it 'God's Gold', which means that only the gods can wield it in battle. Stryker did experiments. An adamantium knife can easily penetrate a 200mm steel plate without any damage. In fact, once it's formed, it almost never wears out."
As Professor Hawkins spoke, he saw Saber's eyes getting brighter and brighter. The red light made his heart palpitate. He suddenly stood up and looked at Professor Hawkins.
"I remember you said that there are various weapon molds in this base, right? Let's go and have a look! "
After that, he pulled Professor Hawkins out of the test area. But when he saw the unconscious Yuriko, who was almost tied up like a silkworm by the children, Saber stopped again. He pointed to the slender woman and said to Professor Hawkins.
"I've seen her protecting Stryker, but she doesn't seem to have her own thoughts. She's like … like a fighting machine. What's going on? Who is this Yuriko? "
Professor Hawkins looked at the face with obvious Asian features and sighed.
"This, I know … Yuriko is also, how should I put it … a poor person."
"Hmm? Tell me. "
"She's Japanese. It is said that her father was a Japanese scientist in World War II. It is said that he also studied Logan …"
