Chapter 523: Sit and watch the Battle of Alcatraz
Li Nan did not participate in this war between mutants and ordinary people, but sat on the sofa in his living room and watched the live broadcast on TV.
Many people knew that this battle was going to break out sooner or later, so reporters and videographers from major TV stations had been waiting here for a long time, and naturally there were people from ABC TV, and as soon as Magneto and the mutants of the Brotherhood appeared, they immediately appeared on TV.
This time, Magneto wanted to show his and the other mutants' hardline attitude against the removal potion, so he didn't mind being exposed, so the videographers were able to shoot safely.
Alcatraz is an island in the middle of the sea, and you have to use a ship or plane to get here, but Magneto didn't do that, he used another very shocking method.
The Golden Gate Bridge, which stands above the Golden Gate Strait in San Francisco, California, is one of the most famous bridges in the world and a miracle of modern bridge engineering.
The Golden Gate Bridge is more than 1,900 meters long, lasted four years, used more than 100,000 tons of steel, and cost 35.5 million US dollars to build.
A few minutes later, under Magneto's manipulation, one end of the Golden Gate Bridge left land and moved slowly towards the sea.
Several planes with ABC TV logos lifted off in front of Magneto, and viewers across the United States saw this miracle on TV at this moment.
The nearly two-kilometer Golden Gate Bridge is constantly moving in the air, and its goal is clear, that is, the Alcatraz Island in the lonely sea.
At this moment, the soldiers stationed on Alcatraz Island also discovered Magneto's purpose, and Colonel Stryker, who was in charge of commanding the army, saw this, and quickly ordered the soldiers to evacuate the defensive pillboxes on the periphery, and all of them withdrew to the main building in the center of the island.
Colonel Stryker reacted in a timely manner, and as soon as all the soldiers had withdrawn, one end of the Golden Gate Bridge fell down, shattering all the fortifications that had recently been built.
After the smoke cleared, Magneto emerged from the bridge with an army of mutants.
The ensuing battle was particularly fierce, and the army led by Colonel Stryker came up with a large number of new weapons, causing a large number of casualties to the mutants.
After withstanding the first wave of attacks from the soldiers, the mutants quickly stabilized their positions under the command of Magneto, and then metal, stone, fire, ice, stingers, sound waves, shockwaves and other strange abilities were violently released at the soldiers.
Seeing the fierce battle between the two sides on the TV, Li Nan couldn't help frowning.
Wanda, who was also sitting on the sofa, asked curiously, "Grandfather, who do you think will win?" ”
White Queen Emma and Lingdie and others also looked at Li Nan, waiting for his answer.
"Do you need to talk about that?" Li Nan pointed to the mutants who were attacking more and more fiercely on the TV and said, "Not only are they bound to fail this time, but they also fall for Stryker's plan." ”
"Why?" Everyone asked in unison.
"Magneto has recruited mutants from all over the United States, but do you see these soldiers protecting the pharmaceutical factory?"
Seeing that everyone nodded slightly, Li Nan reminded: "During World War II, the United States had 11 million troops, and although it has been disarmed for many years, it now has more than 2 million soldiers. ”
Although Li Nan didn't say it thoroughly, the others had already understood what he meant.
The mutant side is extremely capable of fighting alone, but the personnel base is too small, Magneto this time gathered all the mutants in the United States to attack Alcatraz, and the U.S. military only used 0.25% of the troops.
Even if Magneto captures Alcatraz this time, the loss to the U.S. government will be minimal, and if the mutants are defeated, it will be equivalent to the total annihilation.
In addition, the battle between the two sides on Alcatraz Island was broadcast live on major television stations, and viewers across the United States were watching the battle.
As you can see from the TV screen, the mutants who were hit by the soldiers were simply unable to live as if they had lost their abilities. And the soldiers who were hit by the mutant ability died miserably one by one.
In this strong contrast, regardless of whether this battle is won or lost, mutants have completely lost the hearts of the people, and I am afraid that even those neutral American people will agree to various sanctions against mutants in the future.
The battle on Alcatraz continues, and the mutants begin to gain the upper hand after a mutant unleashes a wide range of shockwaves that shatter the weapons in the hands of all the soldiers.
Stryker led the soldiers to fight and retreat, and finally all of them retreated into the sturdy main building, seeing this scene, Li Nan, who has rich combat experience, immediately exclaimed: "Not good! ”
Before anyone else in the living room could ask why, the TV distorted a few times before disappearing.
By the time the footage returned to normal again, six or seven minutes had passed, but the entire Alcatraz had changed dramatically.
Colonel Stryker is arguably the most hated in the world and knows mutants the most, he has spent most of his life fighting mutants, so he has already planted a lot of explosives under the ground of Alcatraz.
Whether it is traditional black powder or advanced C4 plastic explosives, these explosives do not contain any metal, so Magneto is not aware of it.
This big explosion, which lasted for a few minutes, covered almost the entire Alcatraz Island except for the main building in the center of the island, and it is conceivable what happened to those mutants who had nowhere to hide at this time.
Except for Magneto and Phoenix Girl, a few powerful mutants who can protect themselves with their abilities, all the remaining mutants have been blown to pieces.
Just when everyone thought that the overall situation had been decided, the phoenix female qin who was stimulated by the big explosion. Grey was thoroughly enraged.
Li Nan had seen the terrifying appearance of the Phoenix Girl when she released her ability, but this time her performance was even more terrifying.
Meet the Phoenix Maiden. Grey floated into the air and began to unleash her abilities with all her might, and Li Nan hurriedly ordered the nearby ABC TV live broadcast planes to evacuate to a distance.
A powerful storm of energy reappeared, the first to suffer was the main building where the clearing potions were processed, followed by the soldiers and staff who were hiding inside to defend themselves, and then the cars, grass, masonry, dirt, and the surrounding sea on Alcatraz Island were all annihilated by Phoenix Girl's abilities.
The helicopters used by several TV stations for broadcasts were also doomed because they were too close, and the sole survivor, Magneto, also retreated in a panic.
The huge storm of abilities created by the Phoenix Girl had no intention of stopping after destroying the pharmaceutical factory, not only slowly increasing the intensity of the attack, but also spreading around......
There are stories in the myths of the East that overturned the rivers and seas, and there are legends of Moses dividing the seas in the West, but today the people of the United States have finally seen the real miracle or disaster.
The land and rocks of Alcatraz Island were sliced away layer by layer, and the waters of the Pacific Ocean were also disappearing in large quantities, and just as the Phoenix Lady Phoenix was destroying the world, three people came out of the ground.
These three people Li Nan all know, they are Katie, a phantom cat who can penetrate any matter, Coulix who can turn himself into a special person, so as to gain strong defense and strength, and one is a Wolverine, who has a strong self-healing ability and is known as immortal.
They seemed to be prepared, and as soon as the three of them appeared, Coulix grabbed Wolverine and threw it with all his strength at the Phoenix Girl who was suspended in the air.
