"What do you say? That Devil Tree can still devour the earth?"

Zhao Shenping was surprised when he heard this. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"How is this possible?"

Professor X sighed slightly and said, "There is nothing impossible, the military detected some time ago that the taproot of the devil tree has penetrated the earth's crust and reached the mantle, and it is still growing towards the center of the earth at a speed visible to the naked eye. ”

When Zhao Shenping heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible to kill him as long as his roots are cut off?"

Professor X shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Theoretically, this is true, but at present, it is too difficult to achieve, the roots of this devil tree have been all over the east and east of the United States a few years ago, and recently the military has found its roots in the western United States, the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the southern part of Canada. ”

Zhao Shenping was a little incredulous when he heard this, and asked, "Such a big movement, hasn't the government found out before?"

At the beginning, although the government found that there was something strange underground, but under the investigation, it was the rhizomes of ordinary plants, and it didn't care until a few years ago, the devil's tree had become a climate, and began to grow unscrupulously, almost a day and night, its trunk grew to the sky, towering into the clouds, and countless animals and plants and even humans throughout the United States were used as nourishment by him, and countless deaths and injuries were innumerable. This alarmed the government, and it was already a little late to think about what to do with him. ”

After speaking, Professor X's face suddenly felt a little sad, and he said, "Speaking of which, I am to blame for all this." ”

Hearing this, the beast, which had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Professor, the matter has nothing to do with you, don't feel guilty all the time." ”

"Hank, there's always a cause. If I hadn't opened a mutant school, this Devil's Tree might not be what it is today. ”

"It could be worse than that. ”

"That's all hypothesis. ”

Professor X shook his head and sighed lightly, "After all, the Devil Tree grew up in the academy after killing several mutants. ”

Zhao Shenping's heart moved when he heard this, and said, "Professor, what exactly did the Devil Tree absorb those mutants, and why was he able to master so many abilities?"

Professor X was silent for a moment, apparently not wanting to mention it.

Seeing this, Hank opened his mouth and said in a low tone: "The ones that have been found out are the Demon Girl, the Iron Man, the Storm Girl, the Phoenix Girl, the Laser Eye, and as for the other mutants who don't know, although there is no way to find out, there are quite a few. ”

Zhao Shenping had a toothache when he heard this, no wonder the Portuguese tree could become so difficult, the magic girl's ability allowed him to change his appearance and hide himself, the steel man could make his body steel, the storm girl could control storm lightning, the laser eye could emit a red shock wave, and the phoenix girl was even more amazing, her ability was to control telekinesis and telepathy, and her cultivation to the extreme could decompose and manipulate all matter, and even predict the future, manipulate time, and bring people back to life.

Of course, in this world, it should not be possible.

While he was groaning, Zhao Shenping and Qiao'er had followed Professor X to the main body of the college, a building with an extremely modern atmosphere, but its doors, windows and walls were all made of alloy, which looked more like a fortress.

I can already see other mutants here, some of them are sitting quietly reading a book somewhere, some are looking at the air with gloomy expressions and cursing in a low voice, and more are dazed and at a loss.

Of course, there are also those who have excellent psychological quality and constantly exercise their abilities.

Wolverine, for example.

When Zhao Shenping saw him, he was learning martial arts with a soldier and exercising his reaction speed.

Professor X came here, his face had returned to his previous calm confidence, and at the same time, he continued to introduce Zhao Shenping and Qiao'er to the mutants he had met. A short time later, they entered one of Professor X's offices.

After taking his seat, Professor X asked, "Mr. Zhao, Miss Que, the captain just now only said that you can fly in the air, but I don't know what your real ability is... ”

Zhao Shenping thought for a while and said, "My ability is to transform into a golden rooster." Qiao'er glanced at him slightly, and then said: "Mine is also transformed, and it can be transformed into a phoenix." ”

"Transformation-like abilities?"

Professor X nodded and said with a smile, "Since you have arrived here, you can stay in peace and let Hank take you to the dormitory for a while." ”

"The problem of living first waits. ”

Zhao Shenping stretched out his hand to stop Hank, who wanted to get up, and asked, "Professor, I want to know if the government or our mutants have any plan to deal with that devil tree?"

"The government's research on it some time ago has made a breakthrough, according to the continuous observation of space satellites, as well as repeated experiments by the military, it was found that there are five fruits on the top of the devil tree, which should be the source of its power, as long as it can be destroyed, even if the devil tree does not die, it will not be as desperate as it is now. ”

Zhao Shenping nodded and said, "I saw those five fruits before I came, and I wanted to destroy them at that time, but they have always been extremely well protected by the devil tree." ”

"Oh!, can you tell me about the process?"

Professor X was immediately interested.

Zhao Shenping estimated that his video should have been discovered and studied by the military at this moment, so he did not hesitate to say it in detail.

After hearing this, Professor X was a little surprised in his heart, and said, "You said that the devil tree can communicate?"

"Yes, and he speaks native English, and I don't know where he learned it. ”

"This is not good news, it means that he is learning about us humans, so it seems that it cannot be delayed any longer, and the sooner he is eliminated, the better. ”

Zhao Shenping nodded and said, "Professor, what I think is the same, if this devil tree lives for one more day, it will be one point stronger, and our chances of victory will be one point less." Also, we mutant abilities come in a variety of ways, and with the addition of military weapons, it's not all out of the way if we fight against the odds. ”

Professor X smiled slightly and said, "You are right, I will contact the government as soon as possible and urge them to make a decision." ”

"Well, be sure to let me know when the time comes. ”

。。。

Half an hour later, Hank returned to Professor X's office after dropping Zhao Shenping off at the dormitory, and said, "Professor, are the two of them credible? Why do I think they seem to have another purpose?"

"Hank, it doesn't matter if they have another purpose, now the priority of the entire mutant, the whole United States, and even the whole world is to get rid of the devil's tree, and for this, as long as someone can help, no matter what his purpose, we can accept it!"
