In Chapter 106, Hank’s information
may have caused Logan to misunderstand Peter’s last words. He raised his eyebrows and said with a somewhat unkind expression: “Boy, it’s your honor to become a mutant. Don’t So ungrateful."
Peter's fear that he would become a monster if he continued to mutate made Logan feel very uncomfortable. They are all mutants who have mutated, so they are all monsters.
Hearing Logan's explosive words and provocative expression, Peter responded with some discomfort: "Sir, I respect your thoughts, but I don't think it would be a problem if I turned into a big humanoid spider. It's an honor."
"You!" The fiery-tempered Logan couldn't hold back his temper when he heard Peter's rebuttal. Just as he clenched his fists, Professor Xavier next to him stopped him.
"Okay, Logan, Spider-Man didn't mean what you thought, and his worries are reasonable."
Peter ignored Logan's stinky face and just continued: "I heard that there is a dedicated person here. A scientist who studies genetic mutation, so I want to communicate with him and see if he can solve my problem."
The mutant with blue hair next to him also lowered his head slightly after hearing Peter's words.
In fact, he is the mutant scientist Peter said who once devoted himself to studying genetic mutations. He was not the beast with blue hair all over his body now.
He was originally an ordinary person, with only the traces of mutants on his feet, which were two very deformed big feet.
He hates his genetically mutated big feet, so he spares no effort to research solutions to genetic mutations, hoping to turn himself back into an ordinary person.
After a long period of research, he finally had certain research results. He was so excited that he drank the potion with another companion who wanted to become a normal person.
At first, the medicine did make their mutations disappear, but it didn't take long for the suppressed mutated genes to start a violent rebound.
Originally only mutating his feet, he transformed directly into a beast with blue fur all over his body under the influence of the potion. The potion stimulated his X-gene, making the mutation of his X-gene even more severe.
After his failed research, it took him a long time to accept his current self with the help and enlightenment of his professor, so the failed research and memories were things he never wanted to mention again.
He went on a mission a few days ago and was not here, so when Chen Lin'an mentioned it to the professor, the professor didn't know what he thought. That's why the professor asked Peter and Chen Lin'an to come here today.
"I am the scientist, Hank Philip McCoy, you can call me Hank." The blue-haired mutant introduced himself to Chen Lin'an and Peter.
Upon hearing his introduction, Peter's eyes became enthusiastic.
But before Peter could say anything, Hank shook his head and continued: "Actually, your problem is not that simple." "
Because you are not a mutant in the strict sense, your genes and our genes are still the same. There is a difference."
"Our genetic variation mainly comes from something called the x gene in the body, and your variation comes from the radiation spider you mentioned before." "
My previous research on mutant genes was all based on x Gene, and it failed in the end, so I guess I really can't help you."
After hearing Hank's explanation, the light in Peter's eyes slowly disappeared.
Seeing the dejected look on his face, Chen Lin'an also patted him on the shoulder and said, "We will find a way. Don't forget that we already have the prototype of the potion. Although its effect is not yet certain, there is always hope. "
Recently, I have made some progress in the research on gamma rays. I should be able to make further progress based on previous research."
The medicine Chen Lin'an mentioned is the result of their research during this period. It is very difficult to completely solve the mutation at once. It's difficult, but it's relatively simple if you just find a way to temporarily suppress the mutation.
They have conducted extended tests on this idea and have already achieved some preliminary results. If successful, a single injection of the drug should be able to stabilize Peter's genes for a period of time.
In this way, the time for them to study and solve the problem can be extended, and Peter's safety can be guaranteed.
Hearing Chen Lin'an's comfort, Peter took a deep breath, braced himself and said, "I know, I won't give up."
Since the question already has a definite answer, there is no need for the two of them to continue to stay. here.
After thanking Professor Xavier and others, they walked out of the door and left the manor.
After they left the conference room, Hank, who was like a beast, thought silently.
His keen hearing allowed him to hear the conversation between Chen Linan and Peter just now, and he also roughly knew that Peter's mutation was related to gamma rays.
"Gamma rays." Hank muttered to himself. Although he had not done any research on gamma rays, he happened to know some clues about it.
Ororo looked through the window and saw the leaving figures of Chen Linan and Peter.
Looking at the dejected Peter, Ororo sighed and said softly: "It's really pitiful. I don't know if they can overcome this problem." "
I was still wondering why Spider-Man didn't show up much during this time, no. I thought I had encountered such a difficult problem."
After hearing Ororo's words, Hank also raised his head and saw Peter's back through the window.
In fact, he has retained some information and notes about his previous research. Even if it is not the same type of research, it should be possible to draw parallels.
It's just that he has been struggling with whether he should hand the things over to Peter. He is worried that Peter, who is now in trouble, will get into trouble like he did before, and because of that slim hope, he will have worse and irreparable consequences. In the end, it will It harms oneself and aggravates the mutation.
But equally, as someone who has experienced that kind of pain and entanglement, he deeply knows how difficult it is for Spider-Man at this time, and also knows how precious that slim chance is to people in this predicament.
All kinds of thoughts and worries were intertwined, leaving Hank in an extremely tangled predicament.
A few minutes after Chen Lin'an and Peter left the conference room, the troubled Hank finally made up his mind.
He decided to tell Spider-Man the clues he knew. Even if the previous research was not reliable, the clues he knew about gamma rays were valuable.
Perhaps that is the key clue to change their predicament, and perhaps their subsequent destiny will change as a result.
After thinking about it carefully, Hank also raised his head and prepared to say something to Professor Xavier.
When he looked up at Professor Xavier, Professor Xavier smiled at him as if he had expected it and said softly: "Just do it after you think about it clearly. No decision is necessarily right or wrong." Listen
. Hearing Professor Xavier's words, Hank nodded, then opened the window of the conference room and jumped out. A few minutes had passed and he had to take a shortcut to make time.
Logan was unaware of Hank's psychological changes in the past few minutes. Watching Hank leave, he scratched his head inexplicably and looked at Professor Xavier with some confusion.
Professor Xavier smiled and said softly: "I believe that after this incident, Hank will be able to face his past more correctly. As a friend, you should be happy for him." Logan was a little confused after hearing this
. His face was dull, and Ororo next to him couldn't help laughing when he saw his look.
This made Logan even more confused and even angry with embarrassment. He glared at Ororo and walked out of the conference room.
In the woods next to the manor, Chen Linan was walking around with Peter to relax.
Peter took a deep breath of the fresh air in the forest, then raised his head and looked at the sky and said softly: "Life is really difficult. You never know which tomorrow or accident will come first." Hearing Peter's emotion, Chen
Lin'an He also sighed, this fucking life is indeed like this, both he and Peter could fully understand the sadness and helplessness in this sentence.
After the sudden sadness, Chen Linan patted Peter on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't give up hope, we still have time." "
Even if the worst happens, I will abide by the promise I made to you, so you don't have to worry. ."
Listening to Chen Lin'an's comfort, Peter's sentimental mood suddenly became complicated. There seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said, but it still seemed a bit strange to use it to comfort people.
"It's really a comfort that belongs to Venom's unique style." Peter sighed with a smile and shook his head.
However, he had to admit that after such an interruption, he did feel a lot less sad.
While they were walking and continuing to discuss the follow-up research, there was a violent shaking of branches in the woods behind them.
Peter and Chen Linan followed the sound and looked back, only to see a strong blue figure grabbing a branch and rushing towards them.
"Plop!" Hank fell in front of Chen Lin'an and Peter, and his strong figure shook up a lot of dust and leaves on the ground.
"Mr. Hank, why are you here?" Seeing Hank appear here, Peter and Chen Lin'an also had some doubts.
Hank didn't say anything, he just handed the small satchel he was carrying to Peter, and then said: "These information are all my research on genetic mutation, although they are in a different direction from the problem you are encountering now. , but there are some ideas that should be comparable."
After speaking, Hank also told them all about his previous experiences and the limitations of this information, and warned them to be extremely cautious about experiments.
