Chapter 456
"The serum was a success."
A researcher in a white coat picked up a vial of orange-red serum from the lab bench, pushed through the crowd, walked out of the lab, and came to Su Quan's side.
Su Quan took the serum, glanced at it, and casually handed it to Otto, who was shakily getting up.
"It seems fine, but this serum is only effective on unawakened Mutants. Without a suitable candidate, it's difficult to verify its effectiveness," Otto said truthfully.
"I'll figure something out."
Su Quan retrieved the serum and began arranging things for himself and the other Mutants.
How should it be arranged?
In short.
Void Island, let's go!
A portal connecting the two worlds stood tall, and the Mutants nervously entered one by one.
When Otto went in, Su Quan crammed all of Kik's serum formula and his research requirements into his mind, leaving him completely stunned and speechless.
By the time he realized what was happening, the portal had already closed and disappeared.
Underground organization base.
In an unused, empty room, Su Quan was intently hammering and tinkering with a bunch of machines, with sparks from welding flying everywhere from time to time.
Clarice leaned against the doorway, peering inside, and asked Lorna curiously in a low voice, "It's been several days already, what... what is he doing?"
Su Quan and Lorna have been back for several days now.
Upon returning, Su Quan began mysteriously banging on things in the room. Everyone asked him about it out of curiosity, but he deliberately remained cryptic and refused to answer.
Lorna was also looking at Su Quan. Hearing Clarice's words, she whispered her guess, "I think it should be related to Mutant Gene, or perhaps some kind of device that can detect Mutant Gene?"
"You guessed right!"
A voice of affirmation suddenly rang out, and Su Quan, who had been banging and tapping in the room, instantly appeared before the two with a face full of excitement, and then...
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
He took a bite each of Lorna and Clarice.
Lorna and Clarice were both stunned. Good heavens, this was a surprise attack!
Su Quan seemed unaware of anything wrong with his actions just now. With excitement and joy on his face, he pulled the two of them, one in each hand, to the workbench in the room.
On the cluttered workbench, an ordinary-looking metal block immediately caught Lorna and Clarice's attention.
The reason is simple: it's too bright.
It is glowing.
The seemingly seamless silver-white metal block was now emitting a bright yet soft silver light.
Lorna and Clarice were baffled.
Where is its light source? Why can it emit a visible silvery-white light?
Su Quan put his arm around the two of them and explained proudly, "This is a groundbreaking Mutant Gene detector. Did you see the white light it's emitting? The white light proves that it has detected the Mutant Gene in you."
"White light proves there's Mutant Gene. If there isn't, what color light would it emit?" Clarice asked curiously.
You'll find out in a moment.
Su Quan kept everyone in suspense for a moment, then snapped his the Snap.
"Smack!"
The Snap fell, a panicked Jess Turner was suddenly teleported there.
Today is the day I agreed to transform Jess Turner into a Mutants.
"It's gone black... it's gone black..."
"Humans without Mutant Gene are simply black!"
Just as the bewildered Jess Turner was about to speak, Clarice suddenly pointed excitedly at the Mutant Gene detector in Su Quan's hand and shouted.
Su Quan beckoned to Jess Turner, signaling him to come over.
As he drew closer, the black light emanating from the Mutant Gene detector grew increasingly intense and dazzling.
"Mutants are white light, humans are black light..."
Lorna hesitated for a moment, pretending not to know Su Quan's little trick about color. "Will the color change before and after gene awakening?"
Su Quan smiled and shook his head, "The Mutant Gene is innate. Whether it awakens or not only affects the changes in the body and what abilities one gains. So even if one never awakens it in their lifetime, they are still Mutants with the Mutant Gene!"
"With it, we can know in advance whether children who haven't reached the age of awakening are Mutants."
Lorna thought of someone: Dominique, whose mother was a Mutants with the ability to transfer pain to others.
Void Island.
The crowd gathered around little Dominique and her mother, Hila, and the atmosphere was inexplicably tense and solemn.
"Su Quan is here."
Someone shouted, and everyone immediately turned to look at Su Quan, who was walking towards them, and... the Mutant Gene detector in his hand.
Time seemed to stretch on endlessly at that moment; the distance of just a few steps felt like an eternity.
One step, one step, one step—
Before Su Quan even got close, the Mutant Gene detector in his hand started to glow.
"White light!"
"It's white light!"
"The little one is Mutants!!!"
The moment the light appeared, those who saw it couldn't contain themselves and shouted excitedly.
This was immediately followed by thunderous cheers.
They were excited for two reasons.
First, Mutant Gene detectors can indeed detect the Mutant Gene of unawakened Mutants.
Secondly, Hila's ability to transfer pain makes her very popular on the island, and little Dominique is also very cute and well-behaved. Now that it has been confirmed that Dominique will also become Mutants in the future, everyone's feelings towards the mother and daughter are naturally even better.
Of course, it doesn't mean they resist or reject humans.
To be fair, most of the Mutants here have suffered oppression and hatred from humans, which naturally makes them more willing to get along with their own kind and more willing to see more and more Mutants on the island.
"Mommy, am I like you?" Dominique asked in a childish voice, sitting in Hila's lap and looking up.
Hila nodded with mixed feelings. She was very glad that she and her daughter had found the underground organization, met Su Quan, and arrived at Void Island.
She couldn't imagine what kind of suffering her daughter would have endured after awakening if she hadn't found the underground organization and come to Void Island.
Now everything is alright, all the suffering is over.
She believes that under Su Quan's guidance, her daughter will definitely have a different future, a happy and joyful future.
Su Quan approached them, smiled at Dominique, and said, "If you don't want to, I can..."
Dominique's Mutant Gene have not yet awakened, making it a good time to inject Otto's inhibitory serum.
"I think!"
Dominique interrupted Su Quan crisply, her little expression very serious as she said, "I want to be like my mother, like you all, so that when I grow up, I will be able to help you and repay you."
Children's words are the most sincere. Hearing Dominique's words, everyone grinned and smiled happily.
Su Quan smiled too. He patted Dominique's head with satisfaction and said praisingly, "Okay, then I'll wait for you to grow up and repay me when you grow up."
Dominique nodded her little head and promised, "I will eat a lot and grow up quickly."
Su Quan chuckled and joked, "Did you all hear that? Don't let our little princess go hungry."
"Don't worry, it definitely won't happen."
"Exactly, Dominique is so cute, who would want to let her go hungry?"
"What would Dominique like to eat? I'll go make it for you right away."
Everyone laughed and joked along, their affection for Dominique was genuine.
There aren't many children on the island, so Dominique is truly the darling of the group!
Moreover, the Void Island of today is no longer the small, Void Island it once was. It has received massive investment of funds, and hundreds of Mutants with different abilities are working day and night to build it.
The Void Island of today is no longer the deserted island it once was. While it may not be a towering skyscraper, it is now bustling with people and filled with buildings.
At first glance, the planning is quite orderly, and there is no sense of hard farming or primitive survival.
Su Quan took a stroll around his original palace, and then went to watch the spectacle between Esme and the two White Queen.
Many people came this time. Besides Xian Zhe, who volunteered to stay behind just in case, Lorna, John, Sonia, and Clarice all came. Su Quan also brought Esme and Jess Turner.
