The red lights and piercing alarm that had been lit suddenly stopped.
"what happened?"
At this moment, a staff member at the base turned on the large screen to check the reason for the sudden alarm.
But he didn't know that Alice had completely changed the server's work logs.
Therefore, the information the staff member saw was that the mutant X-23's internal chip signal was accidentally blocked during the mission, but it has now returned to normal.
"It was just an accident after all."
The staff breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling at ease.
Los Angeles.
Mark also received a reply from Alice, informing him that she had completely taken control of the chip bomb's terminal server.
He looked at X-23 opposite him and said, "Alright, the threat of the bomb chips inside you and the other mutants should be eliminated. You no longer need to face the constant threat of death."
"So fast?"
X-23, whose face had been expressionless the whole time, finally showed a rare look of surprise, as if he couldn't believe it.
"I have no reason to lie to you. You can try it yourself if you don't believe me."
Mark said.
Without hesitation, X-23 extended its adamantium bone claws and cut open its abdomen.
She then reached her other hand into the vicinity of her heart, grabbed a metal ball, and pulled it out of her body.
If it were in the past, the bomb inside the metal sphere would have already exploded if X-23 had dared to do this.
But now, the metal ball lies quietly in her palm without any reaction.
"It really didn't explode?"
Looking at the metal ball in his hand, X-23 finally believed Mark's words.
She looked somewhat dazed, never expecting that she would so easily gain the freedom she had always dreamed of.
"Now you can take me to the biological laboratory in Trask, right?"
Mark looked at X-23 and said.
"Okay, I'll take you there now!"
X-23's face lit up with an unprecedented radiance, and the hatred he had suppressed deep in his heart for Trask could no longer be concealed.
While the two were talking, the wounds on X-23's chest and abdomen began to heal and scab over.
Mark grabbed X-23, and the two of them were lifted into the air once again.
Following X-23's guidance, Mark flew rapidly northeast of Los Angeles.
Mark landed the X-23 at the entrance of a hidden cave when they reached the depths of the Santa Monica Mountains.
"Trask's biological laboratory was hidden here? No wonder Alice couldn't find it!"
Mark looked surprised, clearly not expecting to be hidden here.
He looked down the mountain and could clearly see the headquarters of the Trask Group in the southeast direction.
The location here is extremely secluded and not far from Trask, making it convenient for transporting supplies; it is indeed a good place to hide.
The entrance to the cave was completely sealed off by a heavy alloy door, and the monitor above it lit up with a red light.
"Please verify your identity."
As Mark approached the alloy door, a mechanical electronic voice sounded, and at the same time, a device that verifies fingerprints and iris scans popped out from inside the door.
"It's all on you!"
Mark looked at X-23 beside him and gestured for her to open the door.
As an experimental subject, X-23 naturally could not pass the authentication process.
"brush!"
She flicked out her Adamantium bone claw with her right hand and fiercely grabbed at the alloy door in front of her.
"squeak!"
With a screeching sound, a deep groove was left on the alloy door.
"Swipe!"
X-23's bone claws scratched wildly at the alloy door, quickly riddling the door's surface with holes.
Mark estimated that the super-thick composite armor door was at least ten centimeters thick, and it would probably take X-23's bone claws more than ten minutes to break through it.
"Drip drip!"
Because the main gate was damaged, piercing alarms were sounding throughout the biological laboratory.
Mark, not wanting to waste any more time, stepped forward and kicked the door hard with all his might.
The already damaged gate shattered instantly under Mark's full-force blow of hundreds of tons, revealing a large hole.
He led X-23 into the laboratory.
The guards inside the lab had already rushed over and, upon seeing Mark and X-23, immediately pulled the trigger.
"Bang bang bang!"
Mark was enveloped in a bio-force field, and all the incoming bullets were blocked.
Meanwhile, X-23 wielded its two half-meter-long adamantium bone claws and charged toward the guards in front.
The bullet fired by the guard hit her, leaving only a shallow bloody hole.
Moreover, the wound healed quickly and did not cause her much harm.
"Swipe!"
X-23 swung his bone claws, slicing guards in two, guns and all, venting the hatred that had been buried in his heart for years.
Chapter 144 Mark's Plan
"It's X-23, she's betrayed us!"
One of the guards recognized X-23 and yelled, trying to run away.
X-23 charged forward without hesitation and pierced his heart with its bone claws.
These guards did not directly participate in the torture of mutant clones, but in X-23's eyes, they were accomplices and deserved to die!
Mark didn't even need to lift a finger; X-23 killed all the guards, biological experts, assistants, and other experimental personnel he encountered along the way.
With her speed, strength, and powerful physique, these ordinary people had almost no chance against her.
Mark then connected Alice to the lab's local area network and began reviewing various confidential research materials.
Mark was somewhat surprised by the result. He hadn't expected that the laboratory had been around for over thirty years and that a large number of mutant clones were being created every year.
However, the vast majority of these clones are defective, either unable to awaken mutant abilities or lacking rationality and control.
Without exception, all of these defective products were thrown into the incinerator for destruction.
The surviving perfect mutant clones undergo various modifications and training from a young age.
For example, the X-23 not only had its internal skeleton replaced with adamantium, but also had chip bombs implanted in it.
No wonder she hates Trask so much now that she's free.
"While these research materials have some value, they are too bloody and cruel."
After Mark finished reviewing the clone data, he had Alice destroy it all.
Although he doesn't consider himself a good person, he wouldn't do something so inhumane.
By this time, X-23 had already reached the third basement level and entered the cell where mutant clones were being held.
Of the sixteen mutant clones currently held in the prison, nine are adults, and the remaining seven are children around six or seven years old.
Because X-23 usually takes good care of these children, they are very dependent on her.
"elder sister!"
When they saw X-23 enter, they immediately shouted excitedly.
"X-23, why did you come back alone?"
The adult mutants, on the other hand, found it rather strange.
When these mutants return from missions, they are escorted back like prisoners. It has never happened before that someone like X-23 has entered a cell alone.
Moreover, X-24, which went out with X-23, has also disappeared without a trace.
"I'll let you out!"
X-23 didn't answer anyone else's questions. Instead, he walked to the cell doors where the mutant children were being held and used his sharp bone claws to cut the electronic locks on them.
"X-23, are you insane? How dare you vandalize a cell!"
The other clones stared at her in astonishment and disbelief.
Some of them were capable of breaking the electronic locks on their cells, but none of them dared to do so because they all had chip bombs implanted in their bodies.
What X-23 is doing now is practically suicide!
The other children, however, had no such reservations. When they saw the cell door open, they ran out of it with joy on their faces.
"Don't worry! I've already had the chip bombs inside us deactivated. I'm fine now, aren't I?"
As X-23 spoke, he opened all the cell doors.
"Are you really alright?"
Seeing that X-23 hadn't exploded into pieces as they had imagined, the other adult clones cautiously emerged from their cells.
After all the clones came out of the cell, they saw Mark waiting outside.
"Everyone has been rescued?"
Mark glanced at the nearly twenty mutants of varying sizes in front of him and asked X-23.
"Yes, all the clones are here."
X-23 nodded in response.
She then told the mutant clones around her that it was Mark who had defused the threat of the chip bombs inside their bodies.
The clones around Mark, who had initially looked at him with some wariness, now looked grateful.
What are your plans next?
Mark looked at the group of clones and asked, "You've suffered so much oppression and torment at the hands of Trask for so many years, don't you want them to pay the price?"
Thinking of the many years of living in darkness, the surrounding clones all revealed hatred in their eyes.
But the thought of Trask's horrors dimmed their eyes.
"I've heard that the Trask Group is very powerful and has a lot of influence in the United States. How can we make them pay the price?"
X-23 voiced everyone's thoughts.
“This underground biological laboratory contains a large amount of evidence of the Trask Group’s crimes! If any of you are willing to stay as witnesses, along with this evidence, it will be enough to convict the Trask Group.”
Mark told them his plan.
He just destroyed the cloning research data, but he kept the evidence of the crimes.
Once these things are exposed, all the high-ranking Trask executives involved in this matter will be brought to justice, and the entire group will fall apart.
Mark hadn't taken action against Trask before because he hadn't found any evidence of their crimes.
Trask appears to be a legitimate business conglomerate, paying hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes annually and wielding significant influence in the United States.
Mark could not possibly destroy such a group by force; that would be tantamount to making an enemy of the entire country.
Now that we have the evidence, Mark can use the power of the state to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
"This……"
Upon hearing Mark's suggestion, the mutant clones looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.
