American comics: Starting with mutants

The crimson energy transformed into blazing flames that surged forth once more from beneath the platform.

The flames engulfed the silent, night-vision-equipped soldiers at the base, their expressions of terror and their slow-motion attempts to turn and flee.

The violent explosion shook the entire platform.

After the explosions subsided, the still-burning corpses, like torches, illuminated the platform that had been plunged into darkness.

Illuminated by the surrounding firelight, Ethan calmly looked at the entrance leading to the cloning base built beneath Maple Lake.

He was looking at the cloning base.

The people at the cloning base were also watching them.

"Shit!"

"Identity confirmed."

"He is the mutant clone who escaped from the X11 cloning facility a few days ago."

"Black King, a clone of Sebastian Shaw, codenamed Black King Sixty-Six!"

"hiss!"

No wonder.

"What do we do now?"

"Let him in."

"What?"

"Release the poison gas. He has no way to absorb it. Block off other routes, lure him to the disposal room, and kill him with the poison gas."

"……yes."

"Thump!"

Ethan didn't have super hearing, so he couldn't hear the voices from the cloning base's command center and walked straight into the cloning base through the entrance.

into the eye.

A passage filled with white light, resembling the light of hope, appeared once again.

Ethan walked down the seemingly straight passage and soon arrived at a room that looked like a dead end.

Just as he was about to turn around and put it back, with a thud, a bright white door suddenly fell from above the passage behind him, completely sealing him inside the room.

next second.

puff!

Toxic gases suddenly began to be released from the walls around the room.

Another second.

boom!

The moment Ethan placed his right palm on the falling incandescent door, the door shattered and flew outwards.

By the time the toxic gas reached him, he had already calmly left the room.

Those watching through the corridor's surveillance cameras, seeing Ethan calmly walk out of the gas chamber, were completely stunned.

"Shit!"

"Quickly shut off the gas, don't let it spread to the clones' living area."

"Hurry, hurry!"

After a while, everyone realized what was happening. After a loud shout, they began to frantically shut off the gas and open the ventilation ducts to release the gas they had just released.

Ethan, back in the corridor, looked up at the equally incandescent ceiling above him and seemed to see everyone watching this scene from the base command center. A mocking smile appeared on his lips.

then……

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the base command center, his eyes slowly turned crimson, and in the blink of an eye, they seemed to be covered by countless lava flows.

Thermal vision!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

As Ethan's thermal vision swept across the corridor, the bright, blinding lights in the corridor instantly went out, and the entire corridor, which looked expensive to build, collapsed under the heat of his vision.

The monitoring system in the base command center, which monitors the corridor, also instantly turned into a garbled screen when the heat-sensing light filled the entire screen.

In an instant, the entire base command center fell silent.

I don't know how much time has passed.

After a base member in a light blue uniform swallowed hard, the people in the command center finally came to their senses.

Just then.

A staff member exclaimed, "Where is Dr. Merrick?"

Everyone looked over and saw that Dr. Merrick, who had been there, had disappeared without a trace.

"Commander Albert Laurent is also gone."

"hiss!"

Hearing the exclamation that came again, and seeing Commander Albert Laurent also disappear, everyone involuntarily gasped once more.

Dr. Merrick is missing, and Commander Albert Laurent is also gone.

Where did they go?

obviously.

They ran away!

Everyone finally realized what was happening. A sudden scream was followed by a series of chaotic noises. Dozens of male and female staff members in the command center panicked and tried to rush outside.

Unfortunately, they were a step too late.

As the first staff member to reach the door and open it was instantly vaporized upon contact with the heat vision, Ethan appeared at the doorway. Looking at the group of people before him, whose expressions were filled with panic and unease, just like the panicked refugees from the X11 base, a kind smile appeared on his handsome face: "Good afternoon, Creators."

He did not address me incorrectly.

The group of people in front of them, with their panicked and uneasy expressions, were indeed clones created by them, so calling them creators is not an exaggeration.

But there's a saying...

A dead enemy is the best enemy.

Creator...

The same applies!

As Ethan's eyes turned crimson once more, the terrified Creators stared in despair at the heat vision emanating from Ethan's eyes, and within ten seconds, they were utterly plunged into a dark despair.

"Ding!"

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"The base's self-destruction has been initiated."

"Countdown: 30 minutes."

"Please enter a security password to deactivate the self-destruct mechanism."

Amidst the sparks and flames flying around the command center, it seemed that the base's systems had detected an intrusion. As a result, a self-destruct countdown appeared on the command center's large screen, along with a six-digit password input screen to cancel the self-destruct.

Ethan glanced at the self-destruct countdown on the big screen, but didn't pay it any mind. Instead, he focused his attention on another big screen filled with surveillance footage.

He saw that somewhere in the base, in a space that resembled a paradise, some clones dressed in pure white jumpsuits seemed to have also heard the alarm and were gathered together, looking at the sky with blank expressions.

Ethan glanced at it briefly and realized the number was no less than a hundred.

There are men and women.

He even saw a factory with cloning chambers, similar to the X11 cloning factory, on the large screen monitoring screen.

However, unlike the incubation chambers of the X11 cloning factory, which are now empty.

Most of the incubation chambers in the X11 cloning factory were empty because they were to be abandoned, so even if the X11 base exploded, the number of clones that died inside would be extremely small.

Although there aren't many cloning chambers here, it's visible to the naked eye that new cloned life is being conceived within them.

at the same time……

He also saw the two people in the elevator, looking anxious and seemingly planning to run away.
