Chapter 598: The Two Rules of the Deviant Mercenaries

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? Someone once told me 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 members present. Im guessing that you guys have read comics when you were kids, like superheroes ones right? Thats right, from now on, maybe youll all have abilities different from ordinary people, more or less.

Mario whistled for a moment. That sounds exciting.

There was no one on site who wasnt excited. If they could acquire abilities that made them different from ordinary people, who didnt want themselves to be unique?

However! Xu Cheng suddenly changed his tone. What goes around comes 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 me Boss, but Big Brother Cheng in front of outsiders. You are all now official members of the Deviant Mercenary Corp, so its 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 havent thought about quitting either, and Im grateful that you think so highly of us. But Id 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 didnt know what to say at once.

Due to some scientific principles of quantum physics, human flesh is able to become 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 Marios shoulder, causing Mario to swallow his saliva from shock.

Likewise, Diesels abilities derive from the fusion of external genes containing powerful characteristics and abilities with the genome 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 wont 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 time comes, you tell me, whats it going to be? Were 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 everyones mind like a lightning bolt.

At that point, even if the general public agreed to accept them, the government wouldnt, especially the politicians, and no one would allow someone with great abilities to influence the power of the military. At that time, either this research would be used by the government, 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. Thats why I left that country and chose to come here, Im sorry that I lied to you guys.

Luo Yei and Li Wei also said bitterly, Big Brother Cheng, you dont have to say anymore. Not just now, but even if its 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 Mercenaries without thinking that we would be able to go back alive. If we didnt come here to fight against the world with you, we wouldnt have followed you. A true mercenary doesnt belong to any nation!

Xu Cheng nodded as he was rather touched that the two would choose to continue following him.

This meeting today is considered the first meeting of the Deviant Corp, and you will be the first batch of members. I will set two core rules here today! First, there must be an unconditional unity between the Deviant Mercenaries, and we must treat each other as our own. In any case, if a Deviant Mercenary is caught or in danger, the other Deviant Mercenaries nearby must do everything possible to save them. We must make sure that the bodies of the Deviant Members do not fall into the hands of any other forces and be used for their experiments. 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 Mercenaries!

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 time nor anywhere, listen to anyone and reveal your identity as a Deviant Mercenary. This includes your future girlfriend or wife, no matter how much you love her unless she is willing to become 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. Welcome, you are above the ordinary and the world will become your stage.

Xu Cheng took out a bottle of red wine from a box that came from the basement and opened it as he poured it into the wine glasses for everyone.

However, everyones 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 didnt fuse successfully?

Xu Cheng answered. Grafting one gene is not difficult. Even if you cant take the pain, it will at most extend the fusion time 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 merged with the genes, and when he woke up, his ability appeared naturally.
