Chapter 218: Before the Night Attack
While Leeway and Wolverine were chatting, a guest came to the Oval Office in Washington.
President Carter was outraged by the attack on him, and because mutants were involved, he invited an expert to assist in the incident.
"It's just a little bit close!" said a man with a short white beard and a big belly that a middle-aged man would have, checking the marks on his desk. After saying that, the man looked to the side, only to find a man in a neat suit holding a bottle of brandy in his hand and asking him.
"Need a little brandy?"
"Oh, thank you, Mr. President, but I don't need to. "The man with the brandy is naturally the current owner of the White House, President Carter.
"William, I need your professional advice on this matter. "From President Carter's name for the white-bearded man, it is natural for those who know him to recognize him, Colonel William Stryker.
"Obviously, isn't it? A mutant attacked the Oval Office in the White House. Colonel Stryker said.
"So...... What do you need?" asked President Carter after taking a sip of brandy.
"I need your special authorization to conduct a special operation...... Colonel Stryker said straight, then to President Carter.
"I thought you were here to report to me about the school reform plan. Carter said.
"You're really humorous, Mr. President. ”
At this moment, a man with glasses and gray hair walked into the president's office.
"It's finally you, Senator Clay!" said President Carter happily when he saw the arrival.
"Mr. President...... Thank you for having me. The other man walked up to President Carter and shook hands.
"I'll introduce you, this is Colonel William Stryker. Before I took office, William was in charge of a qiē affair with mutants. Carter said.
"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Senator is a strong supporter of the mutant registration bill, but you seem to have changed your tune lately. Colonel Stryker said as he shook hands with Senator Clay.
"It's just for the big picture...... Straight to business, I don't know what you have to say?" asked Senator Clay.
"My department has gathered intelligence and evidence that shows training and tutorials for mutants at an academy in West Chester, a northern suburb of New York. Colonel Stryker shows President Carter and Senator Clay some photographs of the building being the Mutant Academy.
"Are these sources reliable?" asked President Carter.
"It's all interrogated from a terrorist who took the Liberty Island incident. Colonel Stryker said this with a smug look on his face.
"Eric Ranther?" Senator Clay blurted out a name.
"Yes, or the one called Magneto by mutants. Colonel Stryker affirmed Senator Clay's answer.
"You're holding him?" Senator Clay continued.
"That's right, we designed the latest plastic prison for him. Colonel Stryker said with a smug smile on his face.
"But all I could tell from the photos was that it was just a school. President Carter said.
"Yes, it's a school, Mr. President. As he said this, Colonel Stryker handed a photograph to President Carter.
"What the hell is this?" asked President Carter, looking at the large shadow on the photograph.
"Jet aircraft, of unknown type, but can take off directly from the basketball court. Colonel Stryker's words shocked President Carter, and his expression immediately became quite stern. Because Colonel Stryker said that the technology was not yet fully mastered by the United States, and now the mutants have fully mastered and built such an aircraft, which makes him feel that he is in danger.
"If we can act sooner...... Colonel Stryker's attempt to convince President Carter is directly interrupted by the latter.
"Well, listen, William, you have the right to search, detain, and interrogate, but I don't want to see reports of mutant children being killed indiscriminately on the news at six o'clock. President Carter's words officially authorized Colonel Stryker to search the mutant school.
……
The arrival of night made the bear children of the Mutant Academy gather in the cafeteria of the Academy, and Li Wei roughly calculated, plus the new student of the Elf, there were about twenty students in the Mutant Academy.
When Wolverine entered the dining room, the phantom cat facing the door immediately picked up the tray and stood up, intending to change seats. Wolverine naturally didn't miss such an obvious behavior, and he also noticed why the phantom cat hid his dinner plate.
"Katie, don't think I didn't see it! According to the nutrition menu, your plate should be a pork chop and a fruit salad, not pasta!"
Under Wolverine's majestic gaze, the Phantom Cat, who had planned to use the coquettish pass, had no choice but to transfer all the spaghetti on the plate to the fire man next to him, and then reluctantly went to get a piece of pork chop and fruit salad.
"Damn Logan...... It's just a weird uncle! I know that pork chops, a food that will make me fat, and I want to eat it, for a beautiful girl like me, it is more excessive than eating poison. The phantom cat's muttering did not lower her voice, and almost the entire restaurant could hear it clearly, and what was even more outrageous was that her words were nodded and approved by most of the girls.
"Hey, I'm not deaf, I can hear clearly!" Wolverine said viciously, just for a show, of course. Wolverine has a withdrawn personality, but in front of children, he is a different look, completely a kind uncle next door. This is because Wolverine is born with beast-like perception and has a fairly accurate premonition of the hostility and danger of others, while the students in the mutant academy are simple children, so it is naturally easy to get close to Wolverine.
After dinner, the older students leave the dining room with the younger students, some going straight back to their bedrooms, some instructing them with their homework or watching TV in the living room.
After chatting with a bespectacled boy in the living room, he went back to his room to lie down and rest, as for the boy who was still watching TV, because he didn't need to sleep, and his superpowers wouldn't allow him to do so.
However, Li Wei's sleep was very light, and because of his thirst, he woke up directly from his dream after three hours of sleep.
Instead of trying to fall asleep again, Li Wei walked to the front courtyard and found a stone chair to sit down and admire the night starlight. Except for the breeze and the sound of leaves, the quiet night made Li Wei feel like he had traveled back many years to the time when she sat on the roof with her.
"Huh?!That's ......" The faint sound of the engine interrupted Li Wei's thoughts, and the perception was in full swing, Li Wei noticed that there were teams of people gradually approaching the academy, and two flickering white lights appeared in the night sky in the distance.
"It seems that the mission time is up......" Li Wei remained silent, stood up and walked towards the academy.
