Chapter 62 The Mutant Manifesto

The power outage was around 8 a.m., and it was only in the afternoon. The update was a little late.

————

Just when Zhang Yang thought it was over, a prompt continued to pop up.

"Because you changed the plot and saved the Dead Girl, she is full of gratitude to you. The depth of the plot exploration in this world has increased by 5.7%, and an additional reward of 2,000 universal points will be distributed after returning to the system space."

Zhang Yang had never expected the death girl to be saved by herself, and it was an unexpected surprise.

At this moment, there was a surviving atmosphere in the cabin. Scott and Professor X were also successfully rescued, and some students couldn't help but hug each other and cried.

"Professor, are we going back to school directly? On the night you left, Stryker led the army to attack the school, and Steelers led some of the students to escape."

Logan asked.

Until now, because of the rush, Steelers did not leave any contact information with them, so Logan was not sure about their current situation.

"No, we have to go to Washington first, because of Stryker's plan, this crisis has spread to all mankind, and I need to do something."

Professor X shook his head, his eyes shining with a wise light.

"I understand, the fuel is enough to support us to Washington, everyone has sat down, we are going to set off."

Scott nodded and then entered Washington on the navigation map. The navigation device immediately indicated the shortest route to Washington. At the same time, the radar on the plane also began to work to detect civil aviation or military aircraft around the route to prevent collisions.

boom!

The main engine at the tail of the aircraft burst out with surging reasoning. Everyone in the seat seemed to be pushed suddenly, and the plane left Lake Becari and headed towards Washington.

The students were tired and hungry and soon fell asleep in the cabin. Jane and Logan were talking in a low voice, and occasionally Cyclops would interject, and Wagner was talking to Professor X.

"Wagner. I know you didn't voluntarily, and you shouldn't blame you for this matter."

Professor X persuaded Wagner.

"Thank you very much for your understanding. In fact, if Stryker hadn't captured me, I would have been at the New York Circus in Boston."

"The people in the circus are so afraid of you, do you hate them?"

The professor's question seems to be nothing. In fact, he is examining Wagner's nature. Not only is Magneto missing people, but the X-Men also needs to replenish fresh blood. This time, Professor X aims at Wagner and Zhang Yang.

"No, I just mercy on them. That's why God sent me to save them, not to mention that if I were them, I might be as panicked and disgusted as they see me."

Wagner is a devout Christian, Zhang Yang listened to the two of them and said nothing.

In fact, in the X-Men comics, the Blue Devil Wagner finally joined the X-Men, code-named "Night March", which is an important character in the X-Men. However, due to the director's preferences, the scenes were deleted in the third part and did not appear at all. Instead, Katie, a woman who penetrated the wall (the actor is the heroine of Inception).

Professor X is very satisfied with Wagner's character. As for blue skin, it is not a problem. Professor X, the first mutant he met when he was a child, was the magic-shaped woman who came to his house to steal food, and she lived and grew up. She then parted ways.

Professor X asked a few other questions and had a general understanding of Wagner. Then Wagner went to the rear cabin and left a separate space for Professor X and Zhang Yang.

"You're mysterious."

This is Professor X's first sentence to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang was not surprised, his face was very ordinary.

"Zhang Yang, why do you want to come to Mutant School? Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious because of loneliness, or want to try to master this power, or hate it, or other reasons?"

Professor X stared at Zhang Yang's expression with wise eyes, trying to see something from Zhang Yang's face, but unfortunately, Zhang Yang's face was always calm, which made Professor X a little puzzled.

With his own abilities, Professor X, with Logan's consent, reviewed the previous and subsequent skills of the incident and became interested in Zhang Yang.

Being able to control your superpowers, judgment, calmness, overall view, and have a certain sense of command. Such a person is very suitable to become an X-Men.

However, Professor X has always been very cautious about the selection of X-Men personnel. First of all, the members of the Men are his confidants. Both sides must trust each other, and they must be qualified in various aspects such as ability, awareness, etc. Haven’t you seen Iceman and Steeler, they became official members after this incident.

Zhang Yang's intentional layout from the beginning to the present, as well as his ability, awareness and measures, have made Professor X very satisfied and has already met the bottom line in his heart, but these are not enough to make Professor X relax. There are still some things that need to be examined by Professor X personally.

If the inspection is passed, Zhang Yang can join. If he fails, Zhang Yang can only miss the X-Men.

The first feeling Zhang Yang gave Professor X was that it was mysterious. Although he could sense Zhang Yang, his ability could not enter his thinking no matter what. It seemed that there was a barrier that was always firmly protecting his body.

At first, Professor X thought this was one of Zhang Yang's abilities, similar to the crystallization of the White Queen, which could isolate all mental detection, but he always had a premonition that he could not see through Zhang Yang.

"It's not that I hate it. At least my ability is very convenient for me and it doesn't cause too much trouble. I probably want to learn to control it."

Zhang Yang knew that Professor X was conducting a routine inspection. Only after being satisfied or having a comprehensive understanding of Zhang Yang would he consider whether to invite Zhang Yang to join the X-Men.

I am different from Iceman and little naughty. These people who have been in school for a while are different. I became a monk halfway through. Professor X knows nothing about him, so naturally he has to consider it.

"Yeah, that's right. At least I think my abilities are very convenient, which allows me to read many useful books, and mental power allows me to fully remember and digest them and understand them."

Professor X smiled.

"What do you think is the difference between mutants and ordinary humans? Or, how do you think of mutants?"

This question came out, and Professor X's face became rigorous, which was very important.

If Zhang Yang was a radical, like Magneto, advocated revenge on humanity by force, Professor X would not agree to Zhang Yang join.

Cooperating with humans and governments to strive to ensure peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans and avoid the occurrence of war and violence is Professor X's personal creed.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yang said carefully: "Actually, in my opinion, there is no difference between mutants and ordinary humans. Just like the normal evolution of organisms for millions of years, humans are also constantly evolving, from single-celled organisms, from oceans to land, from apes to the present, we have been constantly evolving, and this process has never stopped."

Zhang Yang, who is very clear about the core of the X-Men story, is naturally easy to get the answer to this question and talks freely.

"The emergence of superpowers is the product of the normal evolution of human beings. Maybe decades and hundreds of years later, we will walk out of the earth, out of the solar system, and into the universe. Perhaps outside the earth, there are many creatures that we have never come into contact with. They may be very powerful, and may intend to invade the earth. When it comes to that time, our ability will become a weapon for humans to protect themselves."

Zhang Yang's words attracted the attention of everyone in the cabin. When Zhang Yang was talking freely, a confident aura emerged from him, and this aura was transmitted to everyone.

A brilliant flashed in Professor X's eyes. Zhang Yang's performance surprised him very much. Zhang Yang in front of him seemed to be giving a huge speech, which reminded Professor X of the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, for no reason, and was conducting the declaration of liberation of black slaves.

It was a feeling that could infect the audience and make everyone feel it. Professor X keenly realized that there was a faint temperament that a leader should have from Zhang Yang.

"On August 27, 1963, Martin Luther King delivered a famous speech "I Have a Dream", a declaration against racial discrimination that can actually be used on mutants."

Zhang Yang fell into a state of trance, and a strange feeling burst out from his heart, making him talk freely.

“I have a dream.”

"I dream that one day, all mutants can go to school, go shopping, and shop like normal humans, and no longer have to hide because of their abilities being discovered."

"I dream that one day all mutants can use their abilities openly without being expelled by police and suppressed by the army."

"I dream that one day, all mutants can attend dances with normal humans and proudly speak out our identities in the spotlight."

Almost everyone has heard of this famous speech from Martin Luther King. Just like the urgent expectation revealed in the speech, the power that calls on all black people to gather together. Professor X also resonated strongly in his heart.

Professor X's eyes were a little wet, and it was his lifelong dream to allow mutants to integrate into ordinary people.

Although he looks very glorious now and legally runs a mutant school, he himself regards himself as a professor, but everyone knows that this is just a paradise formed by Professor X himself. After leaving the school, he still has a cold face, confused and disgusted outside.

Logan and Jane stopped talking at some point, with a look of memories on their faces. Logan remembered the first time he found that he could stretch out his bone claws and killed his biological father.

Jane remembered that when her ability appeared, everything around the room flew up.

Wagner remembered that he was picked up by the senior leader of the Berlin Circus and looked at him with concern.

Cyclops remembered that when he first discovered his ability, he burned through the four-story roof of the teaching building.

The Death Girl remembered the first time she discovered her ability, and her sister looked at her sweet smile.

The little naughty remembered that when she kissed her boyfriend, her ability almost caused the other party to die.

"Following the final analysis, we are no different from normal humans." Zhang Yang glanced at everyone in the cabin and said his final summary:
Chapter completed!
