Chapter 495: A Tragedy on the Outskirts of Poland
"Earthquake?" Wanda, who has grown up and become a delicate woman, asked in surprise.
Li Nan suppressed the horror in his heart, and calmly comforted them: "Don't worry, it seems that the level of this earthquake is not high, but it is just a little tremor." ”
"Oh." After hearing Li Nan's explanation, Pietro and Wanda, who ran over at great speed, did not doubt that he had him, and immediately relieved their hearts.
After playing tennis, Wanda and Pietro each went back to the bedroom to take a shower and rinse, while Li Nan walked quickly to the study and dialed the phone.
This matter was a bit weird, so Li Nan asked directly to the point: "Charles, do you feel that strong shock wave?" ”
Professor Charles on the other end of the phone responded: "Of course I feel it, many of my students have been affected. I explored it with my ability, and this weird shock wave didn't come from the United States, it was supposed to be coming from the other side of the world. ”
"Alas!" Li Nan let out a long sigh, "I have an ominous premonition, I'm afraid our peaceful life is coming to an end." ”
Professor Charles smiled and said, "Hehe, don't be so pessimistic, I'll check it again with a brainwave intensifier in a while to see what happened." ”
"Well, remember to tell me the results."
After hanging up Professor Charles's phone, Li Nan thought about it and was still a little uneasy, and hurriedly called Magneto Eric in Poland.
Eric, who was in Poland, also felt the shockwave, but nothing unusual except for a slight tremor.
Since there were no problems with his relatives and friends, Li Nan also put the matter aside for the time being, waiting for the results of Professor Charles's investigation.
Professor Charles was quick and the phone came back in the evening.
The source of the shock wave that can normally affect the whole world came from Egypt, where he also found an old man.
This Mora agent from the CIA fought alongside Li Nan and others in 1962 in order to stop Shaw's plan to provoke a world nuclear war.
Later, Magneto was shot on a deserted island in the Caribbean, and between the two fights, the bullet deflected and shot Professor Charles in the spine, leaving him paralyzed in his lower limbs.
Good people always seem to suffer more pain and regret than bad people.
Professor Charles, a kind-hearted and compassionate man, not only erased the memories of all the officers and men on the Soviet and American fleets for the sake of the future of mutants and Mora's future life, but also finally gave up the woman he loved and erased the memories related to himself from Mora's mind.
After many years of friendship, even if the relationship is not too close, Li Nan is one of the people who knows Professor Charles better, so he did not ask why he didn't directly search for the stupid words in Mora's mind, but agreed with his desire to interview Mora.
In the next few days, Li Nan accompanied Wanda and Pietro as usual, but his heart was still uncertain, and he always felt that something was about to happen.
A long time ago, when Li Nan practiced martial arts for a while, similar warning signs would appear every time he encountered danger, which should be the sixth sense unique to human beings.
This state of restlessness lasted for a few days, until a phone call came, and the premonition of bad things was finally verified.
The call was from Poland, and Magda's voice on the phone was full of impatience, worry, and fear as Eric's identity was revealed.
In the past ten years, the times have been progressing, new things have appeared every day, and mutants have appeared one after another in various countries in the world, and this new race can no longer be hidden.
Things didn't turn out as perfectly as Professor Charles had hoped, but as bad as Li Nan and Magneto had imagined.
When ordinary people know that there are mutants with superpowers around them, they invariably adopt a suspicious, worried, and even hostile attitude towards them.
There have been many cases of discrimination and murder caused by race, skin color, and region in the history of mankind, and they have not been completely eliminated until today, and now there is a new race, and what will happen to mutants is just a matter of referring to the original treatment of black Americans in the United States.
Every mutant who survives is lucky, so when Li Nan heard that Eric was exposed, he was shocked, he was not afraid that someone could hurt his adopted son, after all, he was Magneto, one of the most powerful mutants in the world.
Eric, a child, has some psychological and personality problems because of what happened to him when he was a child, and he is easy to be extreme and reckless when encountering things, and Li Nan is worried that he will cause trouble that will be difficult to clean up after he is provoked.
After hanging up the phone, Li Nan thought about it for a while, but decided to take some more people to Poland to avoid any accidents at that time, and of course Wanda and Pietro.
On the plane, Li Nan knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he told Wanda and Pietro about Magneto's Eric revealing his identity.
The two children didn't seem to be as worried as Li Nan, and they both believed in their father's powerful abilities.
Li Nan was not as optimistic as they were, Wanda and Pietro were still too young to know how far humans could go in order to kill their enemies.
Poland is in the middle of Europe, not very close to the United States, and it takes at least eleven hours to arrive, so it was not until the morning of the next day that Li Nan's private jet arrived at Warsaw Airport.
After transferring to a helicopter that had been prepared long ago at the airport, the group continued to fly towards the outskirts of Prushków.
From the air, Poland has a high level of jungle cover and lush forests.
As the helicopter approached Prushkov, Li Nan was a little more worried when he saw police cars and military vehicles speeding forward on the road.
Normally, it would be enough for the police to go out, but now that even the army is alarmed, then the matter is a bit big.
If there's a chance that things will go bad, no matter how small that likelihood, it will always happen.
Although Li Nan hoped that these police cars and military vehicles were not headed for Eric, the truth was cruel, and all the police and military destinations were the two-story wooden building where Eric's family lived on the outskirts of Prushków.
From the sky, it is clear that dozens of police corpses are placed in the wooded clearing near the second floor, and there are more than 20 police cars and military vehicles on the highway that have turned into iron bumps.
Li Nan, whose eyesight surpassed ordinary people, found that the abandoned cars that were grouped together were still bleeding red blood, and it was conceivable that the policemen and soldiers in the cars should not have a chance to get out of the car, so they all died in pieces.
If one or two people died, Li Nan might be able to use his financial resources and connections to intervene, but this was at least a cruel scene of hundreds of deaths, even he felt powerless.
