Chapter 299: The Hidden Trouble
When John went to Chicago to assist the Kelvin family with their problem, he witnessed Bertha capturing a mutant.
Now, after some time, there was finally a result.
Bertha's face was serious as she explained, "I've traced the mutant. He's from the Turturro family in Tennessee. He spent almost five years in Britain, and just two months after returning, he suddenly mutated.
The researchers from the biology institute found a rare substance in his body—turns out it's a new type of genetic medicine."
"Genetic medicine..." John's brow furrowed as his mind raced.
He recalled the genetic experiment base he had destroyed in Texas. The person responsible for that project was also from Britain. It seemed like Britain had been working on something in secret.
Bertha sighed, clearly frustrated. "Unfortunately, the mutant didn't survive long enough for us to get any useful information from him. We tried everything, but he couldn't speak, and he died soon after we captured him.
The Turturro family claims they don't know what he did in Britain or who he was involved with. What worries me most is that many others from the US have participated in similar genetic experiments in Britain. Most haven't shown any symptoms yet, but if they're hiding here in the US, they could be a dangerous threat."
Every year, countless people return to the US from Britain. Among them could be those who've undergone these genetic experiments, blending in as normal citizens—at least until the mutation shows.
