American comics: Starting with mutants

The female security guard, holding a rope, led Ethan into this special experimental room.

This room is specially designed to ensure that, during experiments, the mutant clones will not harm the experimenters after gaining mutant abilities from the unlocked X-ability suppression collar.

"Feel sorry."

After leading Ethan to his seat, the female security guard untied the ropes, looked up at him with a hint of sympathy.

Because she knew that Ethan must have overheard the researchers' conversation.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Ethan is going to be scrapped soon.

After all, the tests to come will be conducted based on the perfect-grade Black Emperor clone.

But like Number Sixty-Seven, how could Ethan, who only possessed half the mutant power of the Perfect Black King, possibly survive such a test?

"No need," Ethan said calmly, looking at the female security guard who was gazing at him with pity. "I'm ready to face my fate."

He knew where the pity in the female security guard's eyes came from.

It is absolutely not out of pity for the sake of pity.

The female security guard treated him like a pet, and a pet that was practically dispensable.

Ethan is the same.

He didn't know if he would survive the test later.

But he knew one thing.

He was running out of time. If he couldn't leave here alive today, he could start thinking about how to file a complaint with the Great Yun Transmigrator Association after he died.

But if he survives.

Ha ha!

Hearing Ethan's calm words, the female security guard smiled and shrugged: "It's a pity. If you weren't a clone, I would quite like you. After all, you're very obedient."

After speaking, the female security guard patted Ethan's chest, smiled again, and turned to leave the testing room.

The door to the testing room closed.

Ding!

Ethan looked down at the X-ability suppression collar around his neck that had been shut down.

As the X-ability suppression collar closed and the suppressed X-gene was reactivated, a mysterious feeling welled up in his heart, causing him to involuntarily exhale a breath of stale air.

next second.

The wall leading from the room to the observation room was suddenly opened, and then a high-explosive grenade with a combined explosive force equivalent to five ordinary hand grenades was thrown in.

The grenade, its safety pin released, arced through the air and was thrown in Ethan's direction, exploding just before it reached him.

"boom!"

A powerful burst of energy erupted, threatening to engulf Ethan, who was almost within reach. But at the critical moment, it was suddenly drawn by Ethan's outstretched arms. With a whoosh, the explosive energy vanished without a trace in Ethan's hands.

Ethan felt his body become fuller from absorbing the explosive power.

Sebastian Shaw, the Black King, possesses extremely powerful mutant abilities.

His mutant ability is not just about absorbing all forms of energy; he can also improve his strength, speed, and endurance by absorbing energy, and activate his self-healing factor, allowing him to heal himself after being injured.

After absorbing the energy of just one high-explosive grenade, Ethan felt his previously weak body become fuller.

but……

Without any hesitation, he threw all the energy he had just absorbed into his cheat system, which needed to be replenished before it could be activated.

moment.

A feeling of weakness once again spread throughout my body.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

"Is there a data error?"

A researcher in the observation room looked at Ethan's physical data displayed on the computer screen in front of him and said, "No energy fluctuations were detected in Subject 66."

"That's normal. We only gave him half an injection of growth-inhibiting drug today. I guess the energy from that drug was used to replenish his body," the security guard called Green explained, arms crossed.

The researchers were slightly taken aback.

"Why were you only given half a needle?"

"There's no need. Anyway, according to the plan, the clones at the base will be gradually scrapped and transferred to Base One in the next week. Why give them to him? Wouldn't it be better if we kept them ourselves? You all know how much growth-suppressing drugs can sell for on the black market."

"……All right."

The three researchers knew how wildly this growth-inhibiting drug, which was comparable to an anti-aging miracle drug, was sold on the black market, so after exchanging glances, they didn't say anything more.

"Alright."

"Continue the test."

"Security personnel, stay alert. If the test subject doesn't release any energy next, give him an electric shock to teach him a lesson."

"it is good."

As the words fell.

This time, when the throwing window opened again, what was thrown at Ethan was no longer a grenade equivalent to five normal hand grenades, but a high-explosive grenade with the explosive power of ten hand grenades.

"boom!"

"call out!"

Ethan followed the same method, absorbing all the energy from the explosion and then pouring it all into the energy pool to activate the cheat.

System: Energy required to activate the system: "92%/100%"

Only the final eight percent remains.

Ethan stared at the cheat interface, which was only visible to him, and thought to himself.

Just then.

"Slurp!"

"what!"

Caught off guard, Ethan screamed and fell to the ground, instinctively clutching the X-energy suppression collar around his neck as he looked toward the observation room.

"Sizzle..."

"Subject, this is a lesson for you. You were brought here to conduct tests, not to be greedy."

Ethan took a deep breath, said nothing, and silently got up from the ground.

A young researcher spoke with a cold expression, then turned off the communicator.

soon.

The third test is coming.

This time it wasn't one, but three.

"Sizzle!"

"snort!"

"Subject, this is the last warning."

"Sizzle!"

"Ugh!!!"

Ethan lay stiffly on the ground, just like Number Sixty-Seven before him, his muscles spasming from the surge of electricity.

The female security guard frowned as she looked at the young researcher whose hand was still pressed on the power switch, and at Ethan lying on the ground convulsing inside. She walked over and pulled the young researcher away.

"Okay, stop messing with him."

"hehe."

The young researcher looked at the female security guard who had pulled him away, feeling a little embarrassed, and said sarcastically, "What, you haven't actually fallen for such a defective product, have you?"

The female security guard frowned in displeasure: "You're talking nonsense. There's only sixty-six clones left of the Black Emperor. Do you still want to test the data?"

The young researchers chuckled as they watched Ethan, pale-faced, slowly rise from the test room.

"OK."

"Since he likes to eat so much, let him eat his fill."

"I'll make him stuff himself to death!"

"..."
