"Okay, now let's refocus our attention on the virus." After smashing Nick severely, Hank returned to his job again, "While studying how to eliminate this virus, We also discovered some incredible properties that it has. One of the most surprising is that this virus can activate the X gene in the human body."

"X gene? Do you mean the gene that allows those mutants to gain superpowers?" The members of the World Security Council present naturally knew about the mutants, and immediately understood the meaning of the term Hank uttered.

X gene is a special gene exclusive to the Marvel world. It exists in almost all humans, but not everyone can make X gene express and function, that is, for most people, it is a kind of Recessive gene. However, there are a small number of people whose X gene will act as a dominant gene in their bodies, allowing them to acquire a certain supernatural ability. Such people are called mutants.

It can be said that the X gene is the source of the superpowers of mutants, and this gene also exists in non-mutated people, but it cannot be expressed.

"Yes, during the human experiment on death row prisoners, every X gene in the body showed signs of being slightly activated, but none of them had survived until the gene mutation was completed, and they became ordinary zombies." Hank said indifferently. He was talking about an inhumane topic, but apparently his behavior has been acquiesced by all board members present.

"So you guessed that this virus might create zombies with mutant abilities?" a council member asked.

"Exactly correct, but we haven't achieved it yet." Hank shrugged, spreading his hands helplessly.

Although Hanke couldn't find an example, Chen Lu knew it well. His research has unlocked a major secret for Chen Lu-the superpowers of the mutant infected person do not come from the zombie virus itself, but from the activated X gene in the infected person!

This means two things: 1. All mutant infected people who are infected by non-mutants will activate the X gene and gain a super power. 2. All mutant infected people who are infected by mutants will not get new abilities.

This is a huge benefit that the Marvel world has brought to Chen Lu. Since the virus has the ability to activate the X gene, it means that he has the ability to mass produce mutants.

The best target is naturally those non-mutant superheroes who are bound to become mutant infected people! Each of them may awaken powerful superpowers and become Chen Lu's excellent weapons.

If there are mutant infections with the strength of four-level mutants like Magneto King and Professor X, it will definitely reduce the pressure of Chen Lu against the upcoming human coalition forces.

For a time, Chen Lu seemed to see a glimmer of hope of victory.

In fact, this news is also a news for everyone in the council. On the one hand, humans may be about to face a group of zombies with the ability of mutants, and on the other hand, the zombie virus obviously has a very considerable weapon potential.

Once this virus can be controlled, it must be a study that can drastically change the current international situation.

"Hank, I know your findings are very important, but we must focus our attention on the vaccine first." Nick was the first to react to this group of people, and sensibly ordered Hank: "If the zombie crisis is unavailable To solve it, no matter how thorough our research on this virus is, it is meaningless."

Everyone agreed that they are naturally not short-sighted people who can be in a high position. Seeing that his major discoveries could not be taken seriously for the time being, Hank had to shook his head and sighed: "Well, I just remind you that the virus has this function, and you have the final say how to use it."

Right away, his projection disappeared in the meeting room, probably going back to continue his research. After watching Dr. Hank leave, Nick also announced to other board members: "Our plan will be sent to you in the form of a plan. Today we have other things to discuss, what do you think?"

"Well, Mr. Director, I look forward to your good news."

"Good luck, Nick."

The holographic projections of the people of the World Security Council flickered and disappeared one by one, and soon there was only Nick left in the conference room of Nuo Da.

"Gene X, it's not easy to do." Nick sat on the seat alone with his hands resting on his cheeks and muttered thoughtfully.

"Hey, Nick...erh, am I late?"

The door of the conference room was kicked open. It was Iron Man, who was also the chief consultant of SHIELD. Tony Stark broke in. He was supposed to attend the meeting just now.

But Nick could see through his careful thoughts at a glance, and tilted his neck and sarcastically said to him: "You are not late, the meeting is just over, anyway, you can't listen to it. UU reading "

"Hehe, Nick is the only one who can bear the gesticulations of those idiots." Tony sat on the chair opposite Nick indifferently, looked out the window and asked: "I just saw some of your men carrying boxes of nuclei. The radiation waste is out, what are you doing?"

At this point, Nick had no choice but to confess to Tony: "Go and provide some news to those crazy reporters. The nuclear leak can't be without evidence, you know. Don't worry, I will let them be careful. Hurt the innocent."

Tony's expression gradually became serious, and he asked slightly uneasy: "Is it really going to use a nuclear bomb this time? Or, you are ready to use a nuclear bomb."

"We are ready to use the nuclear bomb in an instant." Nick corrected. He also sighed heavily and clenched his fists. "It's just that we don't want to see it."

The two fell into a long silence. They both understood what it meant for New York to be destroyed by a nuclear bomb. This large-scale attack might be their last chance.

"Well, so I suggest you prepare for the worst." Tony took a deep breath and said. He took out a microcomputer and showed a map of Queens on it. "We Stark Industries Several large nuclear explosion shelters have been built near Queens. Although most of them have been abandoned for a while, it is estimated that the army you assembled can still be accommodated. If the situation develops to the worst point, it will not be too late to retreat. Soldiers go in first."

Nick smiled, stretched out his hand and pushed Tony's computer away, and said seriously: "Thank you for your kindness, Tony. But I believe that with our assembled strength, we will never lose this time. You must know that you fought back in New York last time. When the aliens invaded, they needed less than one-tenth of this time."
