Chapter 460 Lamplighter and Iceman!

"Tsk"

Looking at the images on the surveillance camera, Zhang Yi felt a little mixed.

This scene reminded him of the mutants in the Marvel world. Those who gained superpowers due to genetic mutations were not accepted by humans. Many humans were full of disgust towards mutants.

The most egregious among them are undoubtedly those forces that try to control these superpowers and take them for themselves.

In the Marvel Universe, countless forces are hunting mutants all the time and conducting various human experiments on them that dehumanize them.

These people did not regard mutants as compatriots at all. They seemed to completely regard them as freaks or animals. They cut their bodies at will, destroyed their spirits, and used all chemicals on them, just to destroy this new life. race.

And in the universe of Black Robe Pickets, this is not the case.

Although the extraordinary beings here were created by the Vought Group through Compound No. 5 and were not born from genetic mutations, it is precisely because of this that the Vought Group's research methods on them are even more unacceptable.

In the eyes of the Vought Group, all human beings are laboratory rats, and the extraordinary beings created by them cannot even be called 'works'. They are simply tools for them to make money and fight for power. .

No matter how painful and desperate the mutants in the Marvel world are, at least they still have two leaders who are willing to step forward. Although their ideas are different, they are still working hard for this race.

They have gathered the power of mutants, carried out the continuation of the race in different ways, and constantly tried to integrate into this society.

But here in the Black Robe Pickets, almost all the supernatural beings are in disarray. They can't tell what justice and evil are, nor do they understand what these superpowers mean to them.

These extraordinary beings are like duckweeds in a storm. Apart from surviving alone in the storm caused by the Walter Group, they have no idea of ​​resistance.

In the final analysis, extraordinary people are just humans, and the most powerful power of the Walter Group is to use the various weaknesses in human nature to brainwash and manipulate these extraordinary people for their own use.

They divided the extraordinary beings into various levels. No matter what kind of extraordinary strength they are, they will be influenced by the Vought Group from childhood to adulthood and become a part of this rule.

When other extraordinary beings exchanged drinks in the magnificent hotel, they didn't care at all that somewhere in the world, there was a group of people with the same superpowers as them, suffering inhuman pain in dark cells.

Or in other words, so what if they know, they won't care at all if it doesn't happen to them.

Sitting in front of the computer, Zhang Yi tapped his fingers on the keyboard and called up all the extraordinary archives of this institute.

There are a total of twenty-seven extraordinary beings here, of which nineteen are extraordinary beings transformed from adults. However, Compound No. 5 is not stable in their genes, and there is always a risk of sudden death.

It can also be seen from the files that there were a total of forty-three extraordinary people here at its peak, but they all lost their lives due to genetic instability.

Those who stay here today are basically all ability users who have just been transformed. The longest injection period among them has not exceeded half a month, so they are still in the observation period.

In addition to these people, there are also some more dangerous superpowers. They have completely activated their superpowers, but their control is not stable. Once they run outside, they will definitely cause horrific effects.

And this is also the result that the Watt Group wants to see most at this time. They lock these extraordinary beings who have huge destructive power and cannot control their own abilities here, and constantly torture them, making them full of anger and world-weariness. mood.

When the critical moment comes, Walt will release these people one by one and let them act as 'super criminals' who destroy peace and become the stepping stones for the Super Seven.

Originally, Walter's plan was indeed like this.

But what they didn't expect was that in order to win Madeleine's praise, that fellow from the motherland secretly gave Compound No. 5 to terrorists around the world, allowing those people to awaken to superpowers.

Therefore, the Vought Group can only focus on dealing with super-powered terrorists in the border areas. As for these guys who were originally used to be super criminals, they continue to remain here.

Leaning forward, Zhang Yi locked his eyes on the files on the computer, searching for useful information one by one.

But after searching for a long time, he couldn't find any clues about compound No. 5. It seemed that the data should be stored in the laboratory or somewhere else, and it should be impossible to find it using the computer in the monitoring room.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi moved his stool back and prepared to get up and leave the place.

At this moment, the door behind him suddenly unlocked automatically and was opened from the outside with a bang. The next moment, the sound of a lighter reached Zhang Yi's ears.

"Don't move! Put your hands up, or I'll burn your face into wax clay."

The man drank in a low voice, and at the same time, Zhang Yi also felt a wave of high temperature coming from behind him.

"Okay, I won't move, don't be nervous"

Zhang Yi turned his back to the other person, looked directly at the computer in front of him, and slowly raised his hands.

"Professor Smith asked for leave. I personally sent him away from here. I watched him get into the car. If you are not Professor Smith, who are you?"

"If I guess correctly, you are the lamplighter, right?" Zhang Yi asked instead without answering.

At this time, Zhang Yi had already realized the identity of the person behind him. Apart from the lamplighter, there was no one else who could move freely in this institute and use a lighter as a weapon.

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, the lamplighter's emotions immediately became excited. He held the lighter in his right hand, and the palm of his left hand was facing the flame, as if he was about to release the flame at the next moment.

"I'm asking you now, answer my question!"

"Okay, don't get excited, brother, don't get excited."

Zhang Yi stood up slowly. In order not to alarm the other party, he moved very slowly. He kept his hands raised high, showing that he had no intention of resisting at all.

"Who are you?" The lamplighter looked at Zhang Yi warily. He was already prepared to release the flames if the other party made any rash move.

When he heard the lamplighter's question, Zhang Yi did not answer directly. He smiled slightly, turned around slowly, and showed his face in front of the other person.

When the lamplighter saw Zhang Yi's face, he froze on the spot.

Because the other person's face is exactly the same as mine. No, it can't be said to be exactly the same. The other person seems to be younger than me, and the gray hair on both sides of the temples has not yet grown.

"Hey buddy, you can call me Bobby." Zhang Yi smiled.

The lamplighter reacted immediately after a moment of panic. There was a murderous intent in his eyes and he said coldly.

"Okay, do you think I haven't seen a person with superpowers who can transform into other people's appearance before? There is a fat man like you in the Watt Building."

"What? Oh no, you don't think I turned into you, do you? You misunderstood. I just think this scene is quite interesting. After all, you turned into the person you hate the most."

At some point, Zhang Yi turned over his empty palm, and a card appeared in his hand like magic.

The card depicts a man who looks exactly like the lamplighter. He has a beard, special gloves, and a blue jacket. There is also an obvious 'X' mark on the clothes.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, but you'd better be honest and get down on the ground, right now!" the lamplighter roared angrily.

"You know, if St. John Allardyce saw you like this, his expression would definitely be very wonderful." Zhang Yi looked at the lamplighter up and down and said with a smile.

Hearing this, the lamplighter gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and spoke seriously.

"I asked you to lie on the ground. This is the last warning!"

"What else are you going to do, use your fake Pyroman superpower lighter to light a cigarette for me?"

Seeing that the other party didn't listen to him at all and still said things he didn't understand, the lamplighter could no longer suppress his temper.

"You forced me to do this."

With a wave of the lamplighter's left hand, in an instant, the flame on the lighter suddenly exploded, turning into a terrifying flame like a fire dragon that directly swallowed Zhang Yi.

Originally, the lamplighter was quite curious about the other person's background. He just wanted to interrogate this superpower person and see if he could get some useful information from it.

But looking at it now, he can only control the other party first and then interrogate him strictly.

In order not to directly burn the opponent to death, the lamplighter did not even use his full strength. He just wanted to inflict burns on the opponent's whole body, and then make plans after the guy had no ability to resist.

However, the development of things did not go according to his predetermined plan. The sound of flames burning flesh did not appear. Instead, a white mist suddenly burst out.

"Wardfalk?!"

This is the first time the lamplighter has encountered this situation.

He looked in the direction of that person without knowing why, and then instantly increased the power of the flame in his hand. Now that he encountered such a bizarre situation, he had no idea of ​​capturing the other person alive.

Faced with such a strange situation, the lamplighter just wanted to burn the other party to charcoal.

Fierce flames filled the control room, and the intense high temperature melted everything else in the room, even the walls were burned black and white.

In the raging flames, Zhang Yi's voice rang out again.

“To paraphrase Bob”

The lamplighter's face suddenly changed, and then, before he could react, an arm made of ice stretched out from the flames and directly grabbed his hand holding the lighter.

Immediately afterwards, the biting cold hit, the lighter was covered with frost, and the flames in the sky disappeared at this time.

Looking at the human figure made of frost that was exactly the same as himself, the lamplighter stood there blankly.

Without the flame, he couldn't use his superpower at all. He could only watch helplessly as the opponent raised his fist and smashed it towards him.

".You should really go to school!"
