Doctor, they all ran away."
Standing in front of the doctor, the Black Strong Man Mutant who could control Thermal Energy Absorption also lowered his head and spoke.
"Oh? What exactly happened?"
The doctor heard the Black Strong Man's words, showing no anger, and calmly looked at the Black Strong Man, asking.
"I'm not sure either, they all seem to have entered the mirror."
"Mirror?" Hearing the Black Strong Man's words, the doctor's eyes showed a hint of thought, and suddenly remembering something, he looked at the Black Strong Man and said, "Go to the morgue and see if experiment no. 9's body is still there."
"Yes." Hearing the doctor's words, the Black Strong Man paused for a moment, then quickly acted.
Tapping his fingers on the table, the doctor also fell into silent contemplation.
Thump thump thump...
Urgent footsteps sounded, and the Black Strong Man, whose breathing was still steady, spoke respectfully, "experiment no. 9 has disappeared. Besides that, the bodies of the other experiment no. 9s are all fine."
Having been guarding the doctor during his experiments, the Black Strong Man had some understanding of the experiment no. 9s the doctor had experimented on today.
experiment no. 9's ability was related to mirrors, and the doctor's research topic was about ability evolution.
Although everyone who used the potion died, it didn't mean the experiment was guaranteed to fail; even the smallest probability of success still meant a chance of success.
After eliminating all other impossibilities, the truth was already obvious.
Hearing the Black Strong Man's words, the doctor nodded slightly, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his refined face.
"So, did experiment no. 9's experiment succeed? Or did some unknown mutation occur?"
The doctor tapped on the table and looked at the Black Strong Man in front of him.
In fact, his experiments were not without successful experiment no. 9s. For example, the Black Strong Man in front of him was one, a not-so-perfectly successful experiment no. 9. He had transformed from a useless ability to only change his body temperature into the current Thermal Energy Absorption ability, possessing considerable destructive power.
However, the potion the Black Strong Man used was much safer and less effective than the potion he was currently researching.
Theoretically, if the Black Strong Man could succeed with potion number four, then the number five potion he was currently researching also had a chance of success.
However, for some unknown reason, after hundreds of experiments so far, there had been no signs of success.
Of course, the potion he was currently researching, in his deductions, even had a one-in-a-billion chance of creating the legendary Omega Mutant, so high requirements for the experiment no. 9s were normal.
Therefore, regarding what happened to experiment no. 9, which was Luo Men, he couldn't be sure what the situation was. It could clearly be judged as dead from all aspects, yet he came back to life. He didn't know if it was some kind of survivor bias.
However, as a scientist, he naturally had to maintain the most rigorous attitude and thoroughly study Luo Men before making a conclusion.
"You gather people to search for them. If it's experiment no. 9, even if he has completed his evolution, he'd only be at a strong third-level or weak fourth-level standard. Even if he can take people away, he shouldn't be able to run too far."
After instructing the Black Strong Man, the doctor opened his computer to check experiment no. 9's experimental data, pondering what he might have overlooked.
Hearing the doctor's command, the Black Strong Man immediately turned and left, preparing to gather people and collect information.
"Captain, those kids seem to have run to a mall for a zero-dollar shopping spree, then stole a school bus and are driving towards the Nevada Mountains."
As the Black Strong Man walked out of the doctor's lab, a message came through his Bluetooth earpiece.
Hearing the message, the Black Strong Man frowned and quickly issued an order: "Prepare to act, catch these kids, don't let them run into the Nevada Mountains. Also, send people to block the routes!"
Although the experiments conducted by the lab were all related to Mutant, at the end of the day, they were human experiments and couldn't see the light of day.
Therefore, although the lab was in California, also known as California, it was only located in a relatively remote small town in California, near the Nevada Mountains.
Such a place posed no great risk. But letting the experiment no. 9s run into the Nevada Mountains, considering the dense forests on the western slopes of the Nevada Mountains, would make them truly difficult to capture.
At that point, these Mutant would just live in the Nevada Mountains, relying on wild resources and their own Mutant abilities, and they could still live a decent life.
The Nevada Mountains are a granite block mountain range in the southwestern United States, part of the western margin of the Cordillera mountain system. The Cordillera mountain system is the world's longest folded mountain range, running through the western parts of North and South America.
Moreover, if they ran into other mountain ranges within the mountains, it would be even more troublesome.
If they attracted unnecessary attention, such as from certain Super Heroes full of a sense of justice, it would be even more troublesome. After all, what they were doing couldn't see the light of day.
Driving the school bus, Luo Men, who had changed into sports-style clothing, was now driving the school bus with incredible skill. In his previous life, he only had a C1 driver's license, but without considering vehicle damage, driving it wasn't very difficult.
After leaving the lab, Luo Men used mirror shuttling to directly take everyone to a mall for a zero-dollar shopping spree, during which he snatched a smartphone and collected a lot of information.
After confirming that this was the northeast side of California, near the Nevada Mountains, he immediately prepared to run into the Nevada Mountains and take everyone with him for a wilderness survival adventure.
As for other options, like going out to sea, not to mention the distance to the West Coast, they had no boat, couldn't operate a boat, and didn't know navigation, so it wasn't an option.
There was also leaving the border, but the border was too far, so it was better to enter the nearby Nevada Mountains. Wild resources were relatively abundant, and there were enough forests for concealment, with plans to be made later, making it a relatively good choice.
"The road is blocked."
At this point, they were only one intersection away from rushing out of the town, but Luo Men saw that the intersection ahead was blocked by two police cars parked horizontally, with several police officers raising their guns as a warning.
Unsurprisingly, to establish such a large experiment, the connections and capital behind it must be considerable. And in this capitalist country, the so-called police are nothing more than the claws of capital.
"I won't just surrender like this!"
Looking at the police blocking the road, Luo Men's eyes were cold, and then he controlled the school bus to accelerate, while saying, "Everyone find cover!"
Seeing the large school bus continuously accelerating, the police who were originally blocking the road naturally dared not continue to stand in front. The destructive power formed by such a behemoth after accelerating and charging was self-evident.
The two police cars were easily pushed aside, and the school bus continued to charge forward without slowing down.
"Captain?"
"Time is too tight, preparations are insufficient. We did our best. We'll report the cars to the superiors for reimbursement."
"Yes."
Looking at the departing school bus, the middle-aged police officer spoke to his team members, a hint of fear still on his face.
Although the order from above was to stop them even if it meant death, how could hurried preparations stop a fully accelerating school bus?
He had just seen clearly that although those on the bus were a group of teenagers, their expressions, looking like they were ready to risk their lives, were not fake. How much money was it worth? It wasn't worth him risking his life, and it might not even be effective.
Thus, this interception failed, setting the tone.
