Chapter 598: The Two Rules of the Deviant rcenaries
Xu Cheng had a serious expression on his face as he stared at these people and asked, “I think you should know what will happen to us if this scene is exposed, right? Soone once told that our existence strikes fear into the hearts of the rest of humanity and because we are different. We are indeed different, both genetically and in terms of our abilities; we are beyond normal humans.”
Xu Cheng looked at the other mbers present. “I’m guessing that you guys have read comics when you were kids, like superheroes ones right? That’s right, from now on, maybe you’ll all have abilities different from ordinary people, more or less.”
Mario whistled for a mont. “That sounds exciting.”
There was no one on site who wasn’t excited. If they could acquire abilities that made them different from ordinary people, who didn’t want themselves to be unique?
“However!” Xu Cheng suddenly changed his tone. “What goes around cos around. While we are completely different on the genetic level, have you thought about the possible pressure from the public if you go to the hospital or expose your abilities?”
Cheksov was puzzled. “Big Brother Cheng.”
“Call Boss, but Big Brother Cheng in front of outsiders. You are all now official mbers of the Deviant rcenary Corp, so it’s already too late for those who want to quit.”
Diesel used his fingertips to cut a slit on the table as he said, “Whoever quits will not be able to walk out of this door.”
Cheksov nodded. “We haven’t thought about quitting either, and I’m grateful that you think so highly of us. But I’d like to ask, what kind of ability causes pressure from the public?”
“Such as?” Xu Cheng took one hand out of his pocket, and it suddenly disappeared in front of everyone.
No one could stay calm after that.
“This...” The jaws of Mario and the others dropped as they didn’t know what to say at once.
“Due to so scientific principles of quantum physics, human flesh is able to beco invisible with separation under a quantum level. However, it still belongs to an entity and can have the sense of touch.” Xu Cheng reached out and put his invisible arm on Mario’s shoulder, causing Mario to swallow his saliva from shock.
“Likewise, Diesel’s abilities derive from the fusion of external genes containing powerful characteristics and abilities with the geno of all the cells in his body.” Xu Cheng pointed his finger at Diesel. “So, as you can imagine, once these traits and abilities are revealed, before there is absolute scientific data behind it, we are dangerous to ordinary people as far as they are concerned. No matter how kind we are, people won’t believe us because our abilities scare them, and they would not allow us to exist in society as factors that are beyond their control. When that ti cos, you tell , what’s it going to be? We’re actually human too, but our genes are just a few decades ahead of the average person, yet we will still be treated like monsters.”
The words struck everyone’s mind like a lightning bolt.
At that point, even if the general public agreed to accept them, the governnt wouldn’t, especially the politicians, and no one would allow soone with great abilities to influence the power of the military. At that ti, either this research would be used by the governnt, or it would go into extinction! They would not let this research fall into private hands where it could get out of their control.
Everyone here understood as none of them were stupid.
Li Wei and Luo Yi raised their heads to look at Xu Cheng with mixed feelings.
Xu Cheng smiled bitterly. “That’s why I left that country and chose to co here, I’m sorry that I lied to you guys.”
Luo Yei and Li Wei also said bitterly, “Big Brother Cheng, you don’t have to say anymore. Not just now, but even if it’s in the future when you make an enemy, we will all stand by your side no matter if you are a man or a monster. We can feel your kindness towards us, and we followed you to the Land of rcenaries without thinking that we would be able to go back alive. If we didn’t co here to fight against the world with you, we wouldn’t have followed you. A true rcenary doesn’t belong to any nation!”
Xu Cheng nodded as he was rather touched that the two would choose to continue following him.
“This eting today is considered the first eting of the Deviant Corp, and you will be the first batch of mbers. I will set two core rules here today! First, there must be an unconditional unity between the Deviant rcenaries, and we must treat each other as our own. In any case, if a Deviant rcenary is caught or in danger, the other Deviant rcenaries nearby must do everything possible to save them. We must make sure that the bodies of the Deviant mbers do not fall into the hands of any other forces and be used for their experints. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, the more they know about us, the more dangerous our lives will be. There will be no fights between the Deviant rcenaries!”
Xu Cheng solemnly said to everyone. “No matter which country you belong to or what color your skin is, everyone must follow this rule because for any organization or group, they are indestructible only when they are united.”
“Second! You may not, at any ti nor anywhere, listen to anyone and reveal your identity as a Deviant rcenary. This includes your future girlfriend or wife, no matter how much you love her unless she is willing to beco one of us with you. When you are faced with a life-threatening situation, choose death rather than sharing anything about your Deviant identity!”
Having said that, Xu Cheng swept a glance at everyone. “Violators.... will be expelled from the corp and will be ceaselessly hunted by their own kind!”
“Third.” Xu Cheng paused for a bit and smiled to alleviate the atmosphere as he opened his arms to everyone. “Welco, you are above the ordinary and the world will beco your stage.”
Xu Cheng took out a bottle of red wine from a box that ca from the basent and opened it as he poured it into the wine glasses for everyone.
However, everyone’s expression at the scene was serious because this was not a simple choice anymore.
Chekov asked, “Boss, will I really be able to advance in my shooting skills?”
“Absolutely, however...”
Xu Cheng looked around before he continued. “Each one of you can only pick one genetic trait to have. You must consider it carefully, because it is very risky for two genes to be fused together in one person, to the point of endangering your life. There is currently only one genetic fusion in Diesel and you can ask him what that feels like.”
Diesel smacked his lips and said, “To be honest, it felt worse than dying.”
Luo Yi also asked, “Boss, is there one gene trait that didn’t fuse successfully?”
Xu Cheng answered. “Grafting one gene is not difficult. Even if you can’t take the pain, it will at most extend the fusion ti in your body. For example, it would be in a year or few years before the body adapts and starts to display the power of the genes.”
Li Wei looked at Diesel and asked, “You managed to survive. How long did it take you to discover your abilities?”
Xu Cheng answered for Diesel, “He perfectly rged with the genes, and when he woke up, his ability appeared naturally.”
