Chapter 318

"Deep mountains and old forests?"

Clarice smiled bitterly.

It is obviously impossible to live in deep mountains and old forests.

Don't forget;

The US government has been arresting mutants all over the world, not only in China, but also abroad!

Otherwise, how can it be called the world police!

They just like to meddle in other people's business.

Of course, this is also a way for the United States to declare its hegemony.

After all, if you don't have some ability, where would you get the courage to do this?

"Have you never thought of resisting?"

Rody asked.

According to what Clarice said, there are obviously many mutants in this world.

There are already hundreds of them in Liberty City, or even more.

Then what about the whole world?

At least tens of millions, right?

With so many mutants, facing such a harsh living environment, no one has ever thought of resisting?

It can't be that all mutants are used to kneeling, right?

"Who said we didn't resist!"

Clarice said, "But it's useless. The Sentinel Task Force is too strong. They have an exoskeleton armor that can release energy waves that make mutants lose their abilities. As long as mutants get within a hundred meters of them, their abilities will continue to disappear until they are completely unusable."

"And they are equipped with various sophisticated weapons. Even if they fight head-on with that kind of exoskeleton armor, ordinary mutants may not be able to beat it."

"Not to mention when they lose their abilities."

"There have been many resistance actions around the world before, but they were all suppressed by the Sentinel Task Force, and we lost a lot of compatriots for this."

"And after that, no one dared to resist the Sentinel Task Force. Everyone was trying to escape, hide, and try to live longer."

Clarice's tone was full of confusion about the future. She didn't know where she should go in the future?

Like other mutants, move to another city that has not yet installed mutant identification devices?

But what about after that?

Continue to live a life of hiding?

Can only do odd jobs that ordinary people look down upon?

The salary will be squeezed by the black-hearted boss!

Clarice didn't know how long she could hold on. She came to the United States with her mother when she was twelve years old. When she was thirteen years old, her mother remarried and she had a stepfather.

Originally, Clarice's family was very happy.

Her stepfather was also very good to her.

But all this was completely changed when she was fourteen years old!

That year she entered puberty, her body began to develop, and with it, the X gene in her body awakened!

Most mutants awaken their mutant abilities at this age.

Only a few awaken when they are younger or older.

After that, Clarice found that her mother and stepfather began to change. They began to hide from her and would secretly talk about something in the room.

And it happened that her mother was about to give birth to a baby at that time.

Clarice still remembers it clearly. In the second month after her brother was born, her stepfather suddenly said that he would take her to the playground to play.

Clarice didn't think much about it at the time.

But she never expected that the place her stepfather drove her to was not an amusement park, but a prison built specifically for mutants!

Yes!

Clarice was betrayed by her biological mother and stepfather.

After they had a new child, they decided to give up Clarice and send her to the place where other freaks were imprisoned.

Fortunately;

Clarice's awakened ability is very suitable for escape.

So after finding that something was wrong, she immediately used her ability to escape from the car.

Afterwards, Clarice also secretly went home to see.

She couldn't help but wonder if she had misunderstood her mother and stepfather?

Especially her mother, she is her biological mother, how could she not want her?

What a pity!

Facts have proved that Clarice was just wishful thinking.

She sneaked back that time and heard her mother discussing herself with her stepfather. In her mother's mouth, she was no longer a dear baby, but was described as a freak!

It was also that time that Clarice knew that her biological father was also a mutant.

And it was because her mother knew about her father's mutant ability that she took her away from Xuan Country and came to the United States across the ocean, where her mother was born.

As for her biological father?

Clarice had also looked for him.

But there was no discovery.

Maybe he was dead!

After all, this world is full of endless malice towards mutants.

In this environment, it was hard for Clarice to imagine how her father, whose mutant identity was exposed, could survive?

So after that, Clarice came to Liberty City.

She concealed her mutant identity very well, pretending to be a rebellious girl, rented a basement in this city of luxury, and lived there ever since!

...

Clarice's story is actually the story of many mutants.

Similar situations can be said to be very common among mutants.

Most parents cannot accept the fact that their children are mutants.

Some parents choose to let their children leave.

But there are also some cruel people who would choose to send their children to prisons that specifically detain mutants!

What kind of prisons are those places!

They are clearly hell!

There are only two final outcomes for mutant children imprisoned in those places;

One is to die on the experimental table.

Become a worthless corpse and be thrown directly into the incinerator to burn into ashes!

The other is to be brainwashed and controlled, become a humanoid weapon of a certain organization, or be sold to those rich people and become their slaves!

The trafficking of mutants is legal in the United States.

There are even public auctions!

Generally speaking, as long as the mutants are successfully brainwashed and controlled, they can be sold at a high price.

Only those who cannot be brainwashed and controlled, or whose abilities are too useless or dangerous.

Will be sent to the experimental table for anatomical research, or thrown out for execution, to show their determination to fight against mutants in the United States and fool the people!

From Clarice, Roddy also learned some about the situation of mutants in this world.

........ ..... .......

About six years ago, a war broke out between mutants and the US government. The two sides of that war were the US government and the Mutant Brotherhood.

Of course!

There were also the X-Men who came to help.

But the X-Men did not stand on the side of the mutant brothers, but chose to help the US government!

This behavior six years ago could still be understood by some dovish mutants.

But today, six years later?

Forget it!

There are no doves among mutants.

Those who are still alive are either hawks.

Or they are mole factions.

What is the mole faction?

People like Clarice belong to the mole faction.

They hide here and there all day long, barely survive in human society, and dare not reveal their identities.

Isn't this a mole hiding underground!

Six years ago, the US government adopted a relatively soft policy towards mutants.

At that time, they launched a plan that could turn mutants back into ordinary people. As long as they were injected with a drug called an antidote, they could restore their human identity.

It was precisely because of this antidote that the subsequent war broke out.

In the end;

Professor X, the leader of the mutant dove faction, was killed!

He died at the hands of Jean Grey, a student he personally taught.

And Magneto, the leader of the mutant hawk faction, did not win!

He was finally injected with an antidote and became an ordinary old man.

In that battle, Jean Grey, who burst out with terrible power and was called the Black Phoenix, also disappeared completely.

Some people say that she is dead.

She died at the hands of Wolverine Logan!

Others say that she left and has been living in seclusion somewhere in the world.

If this Black Phoenix comes out again one day, it will bring new hope to mutants!

But Clarice believes that the former is the truth.

Because six years have passed, the living environment of mutants in this world has become so difficult that they are almost facing the crisis of extinction, but there is still no news about the Black Phoenix.

If this is not dead, what else can it be?

It can't be that she doesn't care about the survival of the mutant race at all?

If that's the case...

In Clarice's opinion, it's better to be dead!

At least in the minds of the current mutants, the Dark Phoenix Jean Grey once fought for their mutant race.

Rather than a cold-blooded old witch who only watches the mutant race slowly die!

"You killed someone outside today, and you must be on the wanted list of the Sentinel Task Force. I advise you to leave Liberty City with me."

"Find a small place with few people, and then change your appearance and barely survive."
