Chapter 468: The Surprise Appearance of Inhumans

It was similar to what Yang Le had imagined at the beginning. The government and the military did have many secret places for researching superhumans. These should have been top-level secrets, but they could not escape the power of the shapeshifters.

This is the strongest shapeshifter among the original ten heroes in the original BEN10. With the development of technology today, there are almost no secrets that can be hidden from him, unless you don't use any technological products at all.

But unfortunately, there are no people on the missing persons list published by the Daily Bugle in these research institutes. According to Yang Le's investigation, most of the superhumans trapped here were captured for crimes, and a small number of them came here voluntarily because they could not find jobs.

Those who came involuntarily were a very small group. Although Yang Le wanted to take care of them, even if he rescued them all, there was no place to accommodate these superhumans.

After all, these people are a mixed bunch. If criminals are released, they are likely to commit crimes again. Those who cannot find jobs will continue to go hungry. As for the involuntary group of people, they have disappeared for so long that their social relations have long been a mess. It is very difficult for them to start over.

After thinking about it, Yang Le came up with a solution. He sent the locations of these secret research institutes by email to the supercomputer on the floating island, which was the one in the Beast Laboratory.

After obtaining these addresses, the mutants will surely take action. Even if they cannot spare any extra energy now because of the founding of the country, they will definitely send people to rescue in the near future. After all, there is a lack of the people needed for the founding of the country.

In this way, Yang Le reported a total of four research institutes to the mutants. When he was reporting the fifth one, Yang Le discovered something different, or to be more precise, a different superhuman.

According to the experimental report of this superhuman, this is a very different superhuman. His hands, chest and neck are all covered with a special rock-like substance. Although this substance is similar to rock, its degree of consideration is far beyond that of stone.

After testing, it was found that this substance can easily block bullets and sword strikes. An electric drill would take half a day to drill out some debris, and only a laser knife could easily cut through this special skin.

It is a simple yet powerful ability, but this is not what makes him special. What surprised many researchers is that this person is not a mutant. No special gene, temporarily named X gene, which all mutants possess, has been detected in his body.

You have to know that the abilities of mutants all come from this gene that is different from ordinary people, and the superhuman in front of you does not have this active gene, which means that he is definitely not a mutant, but the strange thing is that this special superhuman has not been injected with special serum, or has any experience of being contaminated by some chemical raw materials.

No, it should be said that everything about this superhuman is unknown. After investigation, no information about this superhuman could be found. It was as if such a person had never appeared in human society. He seemed to appear out of thin air.

Not only that, the superhuman also threatened the researchers to release him, otherwise they would receive unbearable wrath.

This sentence almost directly pointed out the identity of this superhuman. He possessed special powers and had no trace of existence in human society. In the Marvel Universe, Yang Le immediately thought of the race that was opposed to mutants - the Inhumans.

Technically, both the Inhumans and Mutants belong to the same species as Earthlings. However, to be more precise, there are almost no purebred Earthlings in the Marvel Universe; most are mutants with inactive X genes, a result of experiments conducted by the gods in ancient times. The Inhumans, on the other hand, are the product of Kree experiments. Their original purpose was to create super soldiers to fight their Skrull enemies. Unfortunately, the Inhumans' abilities proved unstable, failing to meet the Kree's expectations and ultimately being abandoned.

The abandoned Inhumans developed on their own. After a long period of development, they developed their own civilization in isolation from the world. They are one of the most mysterious races on Earth, and almost no one knows of their existence.

In Yang Le's opinion, the superhuman in front of him was most likely an Inhuman who was sent out on official business. It was very likely that he was captured as an ordinary mutant during the mission.

Although the settings of the Inhumans and mutants are very similar, the Inhumans are actually more like a new race independent of humans than the mutants, and the way the Inhumans' abilities awaken is also very different from that of mutants.

The awakening of mutants' abilities usually requires external stimulation. Great emotions or actions such as danger, anger, sadness, etc. can activate the X gene in their bodies, thereby awakening their abilities.

The Inhumans are different. Although they also need external stimulation, they are more stable than mutants. When they are young, all Inhumans will receive something called Terrigen Mist. After coming into contact with this thing, the Inhumans will awaken their abilities.

The Terrigen Mist is extracted from Terrigen crystals. The Inhumans control these things and continue the development of their clan.

However, this foundation of the Inhumans is extremely poisonous to mutants. After mutants come into contact with the Terrigen Mist, they will be poisoned and die in a very short time. It can almost be said to be the most effective weapon against mutants.

Because of this thing, the two sides have fought many wars over this matter in the main universe's plot.

The Inhumans are relatively united, all thanks to their backward caste system. Many things about the Inhumans have been determined before you are born.

Just like in India in the past, the lower class must obey the orders of the upper class. Among the aliens, there are even things similar to slaves. The lower class people must abide by the rules and regulations of the aliens. As for the upper class, of course they have to comply adaptively.

Yang Le thought for a while on the computer, and finally hacked into the surveillance system of the entire base, and then slowly streamed out from a surveillance camera. It seemed that it was not the turn of the Inhuman in front of him to be experimented on today, so there was no one else in the cell where he was imprisoned except him.

It may also be because he is too special, the Inhuman in front of him has a separate cell, and in order to prevent him from rioting, there are special instruments to keep him in a sleeping state.

Yang Le turned on the omnitrix, activated the genetic scanning function, and began scanning the Inhumans.
