Chapter 139: Hope and Despair (Three Watches, Ask for a Monthly Pass!)

There are no decent bases for superheroes these days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause they don't have the money and the space, they do anything, even if it's a trivial move, is likely to attract the attention of the Magneto gang.

The power of Magneto's government over the lower classes is far greater than that of ordinary human governments. Based on the various strange abilities of the mutants, Magneto's commands and management can be spread to almost any corner of the Americas. He's done a true top-down vertical management.

In the vast Gobi of Mexico, there is a base where superheroes last hid out. This is the last refuge, the last bastion of resistance for the rebels.

The base looks like a frontier fortress built by an ancient civilization hundreds of years ago, but it is still abandoned and severely corroded and weathered by wind and sand. It looks exactly like the scene that can be seen everywhere in the Gobi. This does not arouse anyone's suspicion.

And under this fortress, there is a small underground palace. This was previously a natural cavern that had been remodeled and enlarged by the likes of Nightkin and Tony. Eventually, this dungeon was turned into an underground community that could accommodate the lives of a thousand people.

But now the personnel of this dungeon have begun to be overloaded, and all kinds of mutants and superpowers among ordinary people who have been oppressed by Magneto, as well as ordinary people (non-mutant superpower groups) have begun to flee the city controlled by Magneto. They had nowhere else to go, and they were all taken underground by the Nightcrawlers.

It was originally intended to build a secret base of 1,000 people for the rebels, but in the end it was forced to accommodate nearly 2,500 people. Among them, there are many women and children who are not considered combat effectiveness. This puts the entire base under tremendous pressure to survive.

This group of aging superheroes has to bear this last responsibility. The already decrepit and weak body was put under more burden. Make their waists, which were already not so straight, even more bent.

But there are times when there are good things about being crowded, like what Tony is doing right now, the Sentinel Project! Now Tony doesn't have his steel factory, and he doesn't have the AI Jarvis who helps him assist him.

So a lot of things have to be done manually. The last of the people who survived and hid in the dungeon against Magneto were once again united. They burst out with all their enthusiasm because they believe in the Nightcrawler and trust the nun.

This will be their best chance to overthrow Magneto's rule. Almost everyone who was able to get started started started helping. People with superpowers go out to help find materials, while women and children help with logistics and simple matters in the base.

The whole rebel group was in full swing. And in a place away from the hustle and bustle. An old man lives in a lead room within the base. He was very, very old, and even his hair was starting to turn white.

This is Charles Xavier, the former mutant moderate leader. He was lucky. Survived the Battle of New York and the brutal encirclement campaigns that followed.

He was unlucky, as an old man. He had to say goodbye to his comrades-in-arms, his own students again and again. The other young mutants who joined him in his rebellion against Magneto for his ideas.

Mutants determine their lifespan based on the degree of fusion of their X genes. The Ipsilon-class mutants with the lowest levels of X-gene fusions are likely to live shorter than the average person.

Most of the perfectly fused alpha-class mutants like Professor X have a lifespan of one hundred and fifty to two hundred years.

Living too long is not a good thing. Especially when you're constantly looking at people who are younger than you. The students who admired and loved you left this world one by one before you. Professor X is starting to have problems with Charles's spirit.

At first, it was intermittent, but in the last year or two, the Nightkin had to keep him in an all-lead room. Each episode of the Professor's illness will lose control of his mutant abilities. His mutant abilities are psychic invasiveness.

Once he can't control himself, his mental power starts to run wild and burns the brains of the people around him. And the professor's disease is called Alzheimer's disease.

To put it in a simpler and more colloquial way, this disease is Alzheimer's disease. It is a great irony that a man with one of the most important and dangerous brains in the world has developed Alzheimer's.

In order to suppress his condition, Nightkin and Spider-Man have to go around looking for medicine for him to control him. The only one in the entire base who has some resistance to Professor X's mental impact is the Nightkin So the task of delivering medicine to Charles was also given to him.

He walked into Charles's room with the packaged medicine as usual: "Professor, you should take the medicine." Charles, who was sitting in the corner, did not respond to him.

The Nightkin had to go up to Charles and say to him loudly, "It's time for you to take your medicine!"

"I'm not deaf. The Nightkin suddenly shouted loudly, startling the already old Charles, and he said with some thought: "You have been very lively in recent months, and you don't have time to play chess with me now?"

Charles took the pills handed by the Nightcrawler and swallowed them with cold water. Without relying on this psychotropic drug, Charles knew he would fall into a state of madness. He spends more time asleep than awake now.

But he didn't dare to sleep, because every time he slept he dreamed of the dead students. He was mentally resistant to sleep, but he couldn't overcome his body's functional reactions. So the genetic system in Charles's body turned on a kind of protective device.

That is to make his memory worse and worse, so that he slowly forgets the previous things. That way he won't want to resist sleep.

Nightkin sat down on Charles's bed and whispered, "Yes, Charles." Tony found a way to deal with Magneto. We found the Sentinel program for the year. The entire Sentinel Project, Tony had already gone through it, and he felt that it could be implemented. "The Nightkin didn't hide it from Professor X about this kind of thing.

"It's a weapon specifically against mutants. I'm guessing you've heard of it too. ”

Charles's mouth pursed, but he didn't speak. After a while, he whispered in a trembling voice, "But Tony's brain is as useless as mine now, and he is not the Iron Man of the past." I doubt he'll be able to solve a binary quadratic plus the opening number of the math problem now. ”

"Hawkeye has gotten an Infinity Serum, and Tony's brain will be able to return to his thirty-year-old state for at least half a year. Nightcrawler helped Charles tidy up his room, including making the messy bed and the trash Charles had left on the floor.

Charles noticed that Nightkin's hands were shaking violently right now, especially when he was bending over and crouching, and it took him half a day to exert himself every time. Charles turned his head to look at the wall to the side, not letting the Nightkin see his eyes: "But it will come at a cost. Infinite Serum has long been discontinued. ”

"Yes, this is the Infinite Serum from thirty years ago. The activity of the drug is not high. It can only be guaranteed for half a year. And the price is to speed up Tony's aging in the future. The Nightkin spoke in a calm tone, as if he were saying that today's burger tasted good.

Charles buried his head in the quilt and said in a dreamy tone, "Is it worth it?"

"Tony is almost ninety. And I'm seventy, Charles. For us, everything doesn't matter anymore. The Nightkin put the chess table away and placed it opposite Charles, saying, "Didn't you say I hadn't played chess with you for a long time? ”

Because of the sudden appearance of liquid in his eyes, the black and white chess became unusually blurry in Charles's eyes.

…………………………

The Gobi Desert of Mexico outside the base.

"Wolverine, take a good smell of here. Where the smell of those people begins and ends there. "Red Tank came to this Gobi Desert with a large number of men and Wolverine.

When faced with the choice that Red Tank said before, Logan had no choice, and he could only choose to agree to help Red Tank for the sake of his grandson and granddaughter. He didn't know who he was up against. All he knew was that someone was going to get the sentinels, and then Magneto was going to wipe them out.

Magneto found him and gave him two paths. Either help Magneto, or say goodbye to his grandchildren!

On the Gobi Desert, he used his super sense of smell to smell the unusual smell of the air and pointed the direction for the red tank. The red tank waved his hand, and his men in armed armored vehicles immediately moved in this direction.

……………………

New York.

Far away in New York, Magneto watched Logan's every move through the monitor, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It's as if Magneto hasn't aged in the past fifty years. Perhaps nourished by power, he has a tendency to get younger and younger.

In the newly built Magneto Building, in the office of Magneto Eric, there are two other mutants who accompany him to watch the screen in the monitor.

It's a man and a woman. The male mutant is a middle-aged man who looks personable, while the female mutant is a man with long blonde hair and sapphire blue eyes. And a woman with a hot body dressed sexy.

"Sebastian. Do you know what's the funniest thing in the world?" Magneto smiled as he looked at the male mutant. The male mutant shook his head gracefully.

"It's about giving someone hope and smashing it in front of you!" a happy smile appeared on Magneto's face. After saying this, Magneto continued to talk about business.

"It's the time of mutants, Sebastian. I hope that in the future, the Hellfire Club will be able to settle down a little bit and not embarrass me. ”

The middle-aged mutant named Sebastian nodded, "Of course, we will abide by the agreement." After all, you are our current White King. ”
