Chapter 3098 "Romantic" Wedding Season (XVIII)
The beast left in a hurry, and soon a dark portal appeared above the airport. It was completely different from the white portal opened by Loki. This was Magneto's wormhole.
The noise of the beast leaving attracted the attention of others. It was almost lunch time, and everyone gathered in the lounge, discussing the biological riot in the Andromeda Galaxy.
Both Stark and Reed believed that this was most likely a genetic virus that only acted on a certain segment of genes. Genetic changes would not affect the blood, body fluids, or even the body structure of the organism itself.
For example, if human genes were modified to give a person three hands, and from a certain point in time, all children born would have three arms, then a check of the child's blood and body fluids would reveal nothing abnormal, as the data would be the same as that of an ordinary person.
Similarly, if the tampered genes affect the brain structure, it is very likely that people will go crazy from birth or at a certain stage of growth. At this time, routine tests are still useless, and even brain scans may not show any abnormalities. The problem may be in the neurons, and human detection methods are not so sophisticated.
According to the information provided by the mutants, some creatures have undergone limb mutations, but the changes are not significant. It does not mean that they suddenly changed from eight-legged crabs to two-legged humans, but that they grew sharper teeth, sharper claws, or lower limbs that can increase their movement speed.
But without exception, all the rioting creatures became extremely aggressive, and even some plants that originally had no intelligence at all grew whip-like thorns that would tear every passerby into pieces.
Therefore, both Stark and Reed believed that the genes of the riot creatures must have been finely modified, which means that this must have been man-made, not a natural disaster.
If it is a natural disaster, the mutation will be random, and many organisms will grow body structures that cannot adapt to the planet's environment, just like a bug that is magnified thousands or tens of thousands of times and will be directly crushed to death by gravity, instead of being like it is now, not only alive and kick, but also with a lot of increased attack power.
This is actually good news, because after all, there are mutants who have been infected. If it is really a random mutation, many people may die, but if it is just to enhance attack power and make them go crazy, it can always be controlled.
Sure enough, not long after, Professor X sent a message directly to Schiller, telling him not to worry, that the problem was with a mutant who could transform into an animal and was now under control.
After Schiller's detailed inquiries, he learned that this mutant was also unlucky. The planet he was patrolling was extremely remote, and it would take a long time even to get there by spaceship. He was also careless and did not bring a communicator with him, so he plunged into the primeval forest.
He had no idea when the disaster broke out. By the time they started counting the number of people and discovered that he was not there and found him, the creatures on the planet had already begun to riot and he was also affected.
The current situation is that he can't change back at all, and he has lost his mind and can't say anything, so he can only be detained temporarily.
Schiller knew that Harry came in person this time probably because Osborn's research was not going well, and he wanted to get some clues from Stark and Reed. Although these two people were not specialized in biotechnology, they could also draw inferences from one instance to another. More importantly, what distinguished them from ordinary scientists was that they were full of inspiration, and they might be able to point to the truth in a flash of inspiration.
Reed directly took out the small box of tarantulas that Harry brought from the big box, stared at it for a long time and said, "Extracting the body fluids of mutant samples and injecting them into the original creatures on Earth is one idea, but before you carried out this plan, did you not consider the risk of infecting all the creatures on Earth?"
"My father said no. He believed that the mastermind was specifically targeting creatures in the Andromeda Galaxy. The creatures there have no relationship with the genetic sequences of creatures on Earth."
"Did he guess it was a genetic problem at that time?"
Harry nodded and said, "But think about it. If it was spread through blood, body fluids or air, which is such a low-level method, it is impossible to infect more than 20 planets, two of which are even more than 10 light years away. What kind of animal can spray droplets 10 light years away?"
Stark nodded and said, "I have no doubt that old Osborn has such decisiveness, otherwise he would not dare to take on this task so easily. If something on Earth is really infected, he will not die of illness, but of being scolded to death."
"Are there any infections in other galaxies?" Schiller asked.
Harry shook his head and said, "Nothing has been found so far."
Luo Ji also interrupted and said, "I haven't heard of any biological riots anywhere. This kind of infection is not weak. If there were any, they would at least report it to the galaxy alliance. It's impossible that there is no news at all."
"So they are targeting mutants. If that's the case, why do they want to infect living creatures? Why not just infect mutants directly?" Peter asked with some confusion.
Schiller smiled and said, "Don't forget what the infected people do. They will attack the things around them like crazy. Which civilization can withstand the madness of Magneto and Professor X?"
"Oh, that's right." Peter finally reacted.
For other races, losing intelligence and having only attack instincts is a major weakening, but for individual mutants who are too strong, this thing is a battle cry buff, which is already strong enough. If it is strengthened again and there are indiscriminate attacks, is this universe still worth it?
Peter shuddered at the thought of the consequences of these two old darlings' indiscriminate attacks.
The purpose of the mastermind behind this is to weaken the mutants, not to push them into a desperate situation and make them crazy. This proves that the other party is also a human being with assets to be preserved, rather than a madman who wants to destroy the universe. This narrows the scope a lot.
"Will Thanos have any clues?" Loki suddenly said, "How about I call him and ask?"
No one objected, so Loki went out to make a phone call. She came back a short while later and said, "Saros said that the Andromeda Galaxy is strictly blocked by mutants. Under Professor X's all-round surveillance, almost no living creature can get close to it."
"Any news about him?"
Thanos only said: "The three empires did conduct biological experiments in some independent dimensions before, but this was legal, and there has never been a large-scale pollution leak."
"After all, the civilization of the entire universe is divided among the three empires, and it would not be good for them if pollution leaks caused the destruction of a large area of civilization."
"There's no large-scale leak, which means there are still small-scale leaks?"
Luo Ji nodded and said, "This is inevitable. Sometimes one or two experimental subjects will escape from the experimental base and cause a little trouble, but they are quickly dealt with."
At this time, Schiller looked at Rocket Raccoon next to him. Rocket Raccoon looked at him and they both obviously understood what the other was thinking.
The half-world where Rocket Raccoon used to live was a typical independent dimension used for biological experiments. Something went wrong there, and a group of unknown people rushed in and slaughtered scientists and experimental subjects, causing chaos.
But the experimental subjects like Rocket Raccoon who escaped did not cause any trouble. Compared with the large-scale biological riot in the Andromeda Galaxy, it is simply not worth mentioning.
"Who among the three empires is willing to endure the wrath of mutants?" Schiller said, "Actually, no one, because mutants are just a group of wandering desperadoes. If you don't provoke them, they will only move around in the Andromeda Galaxy. But if you destroy the Andromeda Galaxy, what will they do if they want to live in your capital?"
When others think about it, it is indeed true. Whether it is the Kree Empire or the Skrull Empire, there is actually no need to provoke mutants.
The Milky Way is relatively remote, and the Andromeda Galaxy is very close to the Milky Way and also belongs to the suburbs. To put it simply, you have arrived in Zhangjiakou. If you destroy this place, what if these people get desperate and insist on living in the second ring road?
Basically no one in the universe wants to mess with these street urchins, just like Asgard in the past. If you are targeted by them, just consider yourself unlucky. Hide if you can, then hide. If you can't, then abandon the goods to save your life.
Magneto also abides by the rules of the underworld. Apart from collecting protection fees, he rarely appears. Sometimes when he encounters a conflict between caravans of two civilizations, he will take sides based on the amount of protection fees collected.
Some civilizations at a lower level almost regarded him as a patron saint, giving him whatever he wanted and making the old man feel comfortable. He didn't have the spare time to cause trouble for these civilizations every day.
The three empires think they are a threat, but to be honest, every one from the nine kingdoms is a threat. Asgard has been riding on their heads and shitting on them for so many years, but they have never dared to touch Odin's hometown.
"I see." Peter suddenly said, "Look, if the mutants' homes are destroyed, regardless of who they seek revenge on, they will definitely have to find a new place to settle down. Where do you think they will choose?"
"They have worked so hard to build the Andromeda Galaxy for so long, only to see it reduced to ashes in an instant. They certainly won't be willing to start from scratch. They will at least choose a place with a similar level of development, and that must be the territories of the three major empires," said Matt.
"Yes, then there will definitely be a conflict between the mutants and the three empires." Schiller continued: "And if the mutants regard the three empires as the culprits for the destruction of the Andromeda Galaxy, then the conflict between them will be irreconcilable."
"Are you saying that the mastermind behind this is trying to sow discord?"
"That must be the case. Professor X must have thought of this, which is why he imposed martial law in the Andromeda Galaxy," Schiller speculated.
All the members of the Glorious Alliance present could imagine that Professor X seemed to be preparing for the worst-case scenario. Once they could no longer stay in the Andromeda Galaxy, they would definitely turn to the Shi'ar Empire and blockade the Andromeda Galaxy to prevent anyone from knowing where their next destination would be.
Although the mutants indirectly control the Shi'ar Empire, they cannot go too far, otherwise public opinion will be boiling and it will be difficult for them to deal with it. Therefore, they only have one chance to make the Shi'ar Empire give in and give them a piece of territory. If someone knows the target location and makes some moves there in advance and wants to grab the territory again, it will be a fight to the death.
"Can you give me a sample organism?" Reed suddenly said, "I'm sure I can figure out the nature of the mutation."
Harry looked at Peter first. Peter didn't respond, then looked at Stark. Stark didn't say anything to stop him. Schiller asked, "Are you going back to New York?"
“No, it’s right here,” Reed said. “I just need some basic equipment and plenty of scratch paper.”
Peter was about to speak out to stop it immediately. After all, if the experiment was not done in a professional laboratory and something went wrong, it would become a disaster.
But Schiller and Nick agreed with Reed. Although doing experiments here was not professional enough, Reed's technical level could make up for it. More importantly, the Avengers and Gray Fog were all here. If anything really happened, it could be solved on the spot.
The point is, if something really goes wrong, SHIELD agents will have to rush over from New York to provide support, which will be a huge amount of travel expenses. Isn't this the opportunity to get reimbursed?
It's immoral
