Sheyan looked thoughtfully into Professor Charles' eyes and said seriously, "Please excuse me.
I don't think it was a car accident that killed your friend. "
Professor Charles was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
Sheyan said calmly, "It was a man-made accident.
"That's a man-made disaster. The combined power of 46 countries and 3,796 super-rich people from all over the world …. If they want to create an accident to kill someone, it's ten times easier than crushing a bug."
Charles suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked coldly,
"Why?"
Sheyan said flatly.
"Under normal circumstances, the motive of this terrifying force to silence a witness is to prevent the news of the end of the world from spreading, causing great panic and interfering with their plan to build Noah's Ark. I have a list of the second batch of people to be hunted. Most of the shortlisted people are people who tried to announce the news in public. My companions are now trying to save them and keep them in a safe place."
"Secondly, building Noah's Ark requires a lot of rare elements or materials. Mr. Charles, since your friend is tirelessly trying to save himself, it's very likely that he has hoarded some important materials but refused to give them away. This is unforgivable for the Ark project, which is a race against time. May I know the name of your friend?"
"Ze Vilya Bolton," said Charles.
Although the name was unfamiliar, Sheyan immediately made a call to inquire about it. He found that Ze Vilya was very famous in the scientific community. Not only was he a 2008 Nobel Prize winner, he was also very prestigious. If such a person had started preparing a way to avoid the end of the world in advance, he should not have done it without thinking.
Sheyan immediately said,
"Since Mr. Bolton has invited you, it means that he has also invited others. I'll say it again. The power of one person is far from enough to fight against the dignity and wrath of the earth. I believe that before Mr. Bolton died, he had formed a powerful team to challenge fate! Their research is likely to be very helpful to us. Besides, Mr. Charles, don't you want to know the real cause of your friend's death? "
Charles was obviously convinced by Sheyan. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded.
"Let's go."

Charles' chauffeur was also a mutant. He was proud of his strength, and he had a good relationship with Bobby, so when he shook Sheyan's hand, he put more strength into it. Unexpectedly, Sheyan accepted it with a smile as if nothing had happened. Before they separated, Sheyan squeezed Hanks' chauffeur's hand back. Hanks' chauffeur instantly turned pale! He immediately bared his teeth and waved his hand without hiding it.
Such strength was still far from enough. Destruction was always much harder than construction. The current second generation of the X-Men had not yet grown up. Professor Charles was a psychic, but unfortunately, all contestants had a natural mental barrier. The power of the mutant driver in front of him was at most similar to that of a Growth Hunter. His mission was still a long way off.
At this moment, Charles' expression was gloomy, like a statue's indifference. At this moment, he recalled the few strangers who lingered around his old friend's funeral in the morning. Their eyes were clearly vigilant and vicious!
At the thought of this, Charles could not wait to rush to Bolton's former residence, but he did not urge Hanks, because this driver who had been with him for 25 years must know his intentions.
In the distance, through the clean windshield of the Phaeton, the road sign of 156th Street could be seen. Hanks skillfully slowed down slightly, turned on the turn signal, and then turned the corner. The red steeple villa in front was Mr. Bolton's home. Mr. Charles liked to talk with his old friend on the neatly kept lawn while enjoying the afternoon sun and the cookies baked by Mrs. Bolton.
Unfortunately, the lawn was being cruelly trampled at this time. A group of men in black suits were standing on the lawn. Mrs. Bolton was crying loudly under their abduction. All the furniture in the house was moved out, and even the wooden floor was pried open.
Of course, these men seemed to be very professional when it came to searching, but they knew nothing about moving things around. Therefore, the whole house looked like a mess. Due to the presence of police cars and cordons, there were very few onlookers.
Charles closed his eyes. His face was as calm as an ancient well, but Jean knew that this old man was angry. This was definitely not an aimless attack. Professor Charles' knuckles had turned white as he gripped the handle of his wheelchair!
Hanks skillfully stepped on the brakes and pulled the handbrake. The first thing he did was naturally to open the door, but there was a series of strange clicking sounds coming from behind. Sheyan turned around and saw that Charles' wheelchair was rapidly changing shape!!
Yes, that's right, transforming!
The wheelchair was skillfully folded, pieced together, and then reassembled. Finally, a unique exoskeleton, like the skeleton of a sneaker, was formed on Charles' legs. It allowed the paralyzed Charles to stand up all of a sudden. With a series of clicking sounds, he strode towards the house.
Charles' expression was as tranquil as an ancient well, but Sheyan could sense that something was amiss. An intense sense of wrongness! It was as if his thoughts had been disturbed and began to slow down.
More importantly, wherever Charles passed by, the people around him seemed to have frozen in time. They stood rooted to the ground with their mouths agape and their faces distorted. They looked like wax figures.
"Hmm, what's this ability?" Sheyan frowned. "Memory Enslavement? It looks like the old man is really angry. "
The policemen and FBI agents who stood there stiffly only recovered after ten minutes. Their memories stopped at the scene when they first arrived here. Naturally, they could not remember anything that happened after that. What was even more terrifying was that they were soon assaulted by a severe headache. As punishment, Charles deprived them of a part of their memories and killed the brain cells that carried those memories!!
Well, in other words, these unlucky fellows would suffer a pain similar to trigeminal neuralgia for the rest of their lives, and treatment was ineffective.
This was the consequence of enduring Charles' wrath.

After Mrs. Bolton's family was relocated, Sheyan's expression changed.
Dr. Charles finally frowned and said to Sheyan, "They have indeed established an organization.
"They have indeed established such an organization, and their research has already entered the experimental stage. However, due to Bolton's arrest and financial strain, the organization is on the verge of disbanding. More importantly, they are like a group of dragons without a leader. No one can replace Bolton's leadership position."
Sheyan chuckled and replied.
"Money shouldn't be a problem. My vampire allies are very rich. More importantly, Professor, as long as our plan is guaranteed to succeed, if the government can charge one billion Euros for boarding the ship, we can charge two billion Euros! As for the leader, let me think about it. There must be a way. "
Professor Bolton's research data was stored in a USB flash drive. In the face of the arrival of the end of the world, first of all, the terrible earthquakes had doomed places like underground nuclear bunkers to become tombs. Secondly, most scientists had chosen the Ark model.
Unfortunately, Professor Bolton and his team obviously could not follow suit and build an Ark, but an Ark was definitely not the only choice. Therefore, their final plan was an airship!
A huge airship!
From the theoretical design, it could be seen that the airship would directly rise to an altitude of 15,000 to 20,000 meters above the ground. This way, it could enter the stratosphere and perfectly avoid lightning, hailstorms, rainstorms and other phenomena in the troposphere.
The airship did not emphasize speed, but weight, firmness and stability. If the design was successful, the biggest enemy the airship would face would be the strong winds. Therefore, the requirements for the airship's engine and fuel were not high. Therefore, under this design concept, the weight of an airship could reach 800 tons!
The number of people transported could reach 5,000, and this was calculated based on the average adult weight of 60 kilograms. 5,000 people would weigh 300 tons. If the quality of life was lowered, the limit could even reach the standard of transporting 10,000 people.
Because the airship's altitude was quite astonishing, even volcanic ash could only stay in the stratosphere. Therefore, solar cells could be used as a stable source of energy. As for the water source, once it was used up, it could descend to the troposphere to collect more. The design concept proposed that they could consider building two to three airships as fresh water and food supply platforms. The airships would also not have to worry about the danger of collision and crash.
The people on the airship might live a life of restricted food and fresh water, and the per capita living space would only be comparable to that of prisoners. However, it could be estimated that the end of the world would last for about a month. Even if they had to endure a month of imprisonment, it was still better than death.
Sheyan was undoubtedly aware of the specific situation when the end of the world came. He felt that this plan had a high chance of success! He continued reading and found that there were three main problems facing the research team:
First, they had not been able to solve the problem of the airship's metal frame not being tough enough.
Second, they had not enough power to float in the air.
Third, they had not enough propulsion of the power system.
If they could overcome these three problems, then the plan could immediately enter the construction stage.
After seeing these three problems, Sheyan's heart was suddenly enlightened. He felt that the biggest problem had been solved, and couldn't help but laugh heartily. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
