The four of them continued to flee downstairs together. Tong Su looked bewildered and asked, "The list you've been talking about, are they here to find that person?"
Ye Qingxi said, "The list is confidential, we..."
"What secret? Everyone knows that, right?" Director Zhen interjected. "The young lady will be joining the department soon, so what are we hiding now? Her name and information will be added to the list later."
After saying that, he quickly explained to Tong Su without waiting for Professor Hua and Ye Qingxi to interrupt.
Almost every country has a secret mutant department established by the government, which is responsible for handling conflicts caused by mutants, facilitating exchanges between mutants from different countries, and conducting research on mutant abilities, among other things.
As mentioned before, there is a deep divide between ordinary people and mutants. Many mutants want to hide their abilities and live ordinary lives among ordinary people.
The state fully respects their wishes, and simply compiles their personal information, including their identity, special abilities, DNA profiles, and so on, into a massive dataset.
In other words, a "list".
"Besides the official organizations, there are many evil organizations in the world that want to use the genes of mutants to do things, such as editing genes directly in the embryonic stage, performing genetic modification surgery on people, researching gene viruses, and using mutants as guinea pigs for experiments..."
Professor Hua said in a deep voice, "They racked their brains trying to get a list of countries, because with this, the genetic secrets of a country and a race would be exposed. Imagine if someone specifically researched a genetic virus that targeted us Chinese, and it would only infect Chinese people, and those infected would certainly die. What would the consequences be?"
Tong Su's eyes widened in horror as she exclaimed, "It will lead to the extinction of the entire race..."
"Yes, so the list absolutely cannot be exposed." Professor Hua smiled wryly. "But there are always some people who want to leave the list for trivial matters, without considering how terrible it would be if the list fell into the hands of foreigners!"
Director Zhen looked up at the sky and muttered, "Of course I won't let foreigners take it. I'm just asking who it is."
During their conversation, the reinforcements who had caught up from below finally arrived. When they saw that Professor Hua was seriously injured, they were terrified. Some of them saw the professor off, while others rushed off to fight the Mingwang.
Not many people from the Ming Dynasty came. They dared not invade China on a large scale and had all gone to the underground floors of the tenth floor.
The base immediately notified the special forces, and a large number of combat mutants rushed to the hospital on the ground to disperse the crowd and advance from top to bottom.
Tong Su was taken for examination as a pitiful victim. She had strong self-healing abilities and her injuries had all healed. She pretended to be in a daze and used her X-ray vision to keep a close eye on Wu Ming and the others.
Mingwang's assassination mission was a complete failure. Most of the mercenaries were killed on the spot. Seeing that he was surrounded by people from both sides, Wuming turned around and fled through the underground river without hesitation.
"This underground river branch, originally intended to meet water needs, unexpectedly became his escape route..."
The people in the base were extremely angry and resentful. Ye Qingxi lay in the treatment device, lost in thought. After a long while, she spoke up: "Mentor, I feel like that person has a familiar feeling to me."
Professor Hua was taken aback: "Familiar?"
He hung his head, puzzled and confused. Professor Hua shook his head and laughed, "Snake-like abilities are rare to begin with. How are you going to learn about them? You're probably just stuck in your daze."
Director Zhen turned around from the side, heard this, and shouted, "He looks familiar! I feel the same way! I'm sure I've seen him before! He must be someone we know—"
