Volume 1 Urban War Clouds Section 2 Draw Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
Ontario is Canada's largest and most prosperous province, bordering Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York to the south.
Canada is vast and sparsely populated, and its natural environment is excellent, among which Ontario is the most. Magneto took a fancy to this, so he set up the base of the Mutant Brotherhood in the Greenwood Nature Reserve in the remote town of Ajax. For more than ten years, mutants have relied on their special abilities to perfectly avoid the eyes and ears of humans, and they have cultivated and self-sufficient here, and no outsiders have found their traces so far.
A large hand flicked the bush in front of him, and the large pigweed, which was luxuriant, began to wither rapidly from the touch, but turned into scattered white ash in a few seconds. Chen Lu patted off the ashes on his body and walked towards the depths of the forest step by step. This is the third biological line of defense that he has broken through, whether it is an extremely aggressive wild bee or a highly poisonous plant, it makes no sense to him. In this vibrant forest park, Chen Lu is the messenger of death, and all the creatures he touches will inevitably be wiped out. With each step he took, a scorched footprint was left on the grass, which gradually spread into a circle, and finally converged behind him into a black path that symbolized destruction.
I don't know when it started, a thick fog gathered in front of him, someone whispered in his ear, trying to make him frightened, forcing him to turn around and leave, Chen Lu ignored it all, and only stopped until he walked to a cliff in front of him.
Chen Lu seemed to have seen something funny, and laughed. His eyes slowly widened, and this movement seemed to turn on a switch in his body, and the energy ripples spread outward around him, scorching everything around him. His original green pupils were pale at this time, like the actual evil energy circulating in his body, and Chen Lu at this time was green all over, becoming a demon from biochemical hell.
The whisperer screamed in his ear and was silent, and the scene in front of him shook violently, shattering silently like a mirror. There was no fog, no cliffs, it was all an illusion, and the scene in front of him was the same as the one behind him. Chen Lu looked down at the mutants who were unconscious on the ground, except for one who looked strange and couldn't tell their age, the others were all very young, he was not interested in taking the lives of these people, and continued to walk forward over them.
The Brotherhood's base was right in front of him, a small village made of countless mottled iron plates, surrounded by fences and lookouts, and Chen Lu could see mutants running and shouting on the fence. Before he could get close to the village, several young men rushed out. There are men and women, the first one is a girl, with long dark green hair, thin and tall, heroic, about 20 years old, seeing that several other people faintly protect her, it should be a small leader.
The young mutants didn't dare to get too close, and stopped far away, and as soon as the green-haired girl grabbed the void, more than a dozen steel bars floated on the ground and aimed at Chen Lu. "Who are you!" The girl snorted, "Outsiders are not welcome here, and if you take another step forward, you will pay for it." ”
The intruder's eerie smiling face unsettled the girl, her fingers trembling slightly, and the steel bars floating in the air moved back and forth. As soon as the tension between the two sides came to a head, it reached its peak.
Chen Lu looked at those sharp steel bars as if they were nothing, and grinned with his teeth: "You can call me... Radiant Demon. ”
The mutants were shocked, and everyone took a few steps back in unison, the green light emitted by this intruder was nuclear radiation! Chen Lu took a step forward, and the green-haired girl attacked without hesitation. The steel bars came with the sound of the wind, but before they could get close to Chen Lu, they turned into molten steel, and seeing the leader's move, several other mutants also used their own attack methods, but they all dissipated before they could get close to the intruder. The nuclear power field created by Chen Lu is so powerful that even Thor's Mjolnir can't break through it, let alone these young mutants who haven't yet mastered the true meaning of energy use.
The green-haired girl raised her eyebrows and was about to launch a second round of attacks, but was stopped by another girl beside her. The two girls argued fiercely, and the green-haired girl was finally convinced, glared at Chen Lu hatefully, and flew into the air towards the village. The girl who was left behind, under the cover of the attack of several other people, spit out a large puff of pink smoke from her mouth, which condensed in the air and rolled towards Chen Lu.
The green-haired girl broke away from the battlefield and flew towards the town with all her might.
She is the daughter of Magneto, the next lord here, and now that her father and everyone are gone, it is her duty to protect those who remain. Although she disapproves of the plan that her fathers are about to implement, she has no reason to stop her father's commanding position in the fight for the survival of mutants. Her father had no good feelings for that ancient eastern country, and she had heard the term "mutant desert" from her father more than once, but everything in China was too far away for her, she didn't care at all, she just wanted to live in this forest carefree.
However, the forest was destroyed, the attack of the radiation demon was without warning, the defense force of the base was too weak, and the available combat power went to China, and the guards left behind were all young people. They won't be able to resist for long, and she must inform her father as soon as possible, the mutant paradise can't be ruined like this!
Looking back, the battlefield was surrounded by pink smoke, and from time to time the glare from the collision of energy shot out, and the girl knew the power of the "Fog of Sweet Dreams", and kept praying in her heart that the enemy would be hit.
Then a pillar of green light burst into the sky, dispersing the fog and shattering the girl's hopes, and the entire sky trembled violently, and the illusion of keeping the base hidden was on the verge of being shattered.
"Sonya!" The girl screamed, knowing that the guard team and her close friends must be more than lucky, she bit her lip fiercely, and urged the magnetic force with all her strength to drive herself to accelerate her flight. When the destination finally arrived, the radiant demon did not chase after her, she landed next to a young man with her hands held high, rubbed her wrist that was strangled by the iron bracelet, and asked urgently, "Weis, how are you?" ”
The young man's face was pale, and he shook his head, obviously he had no energy to speak, and the girl glanced at the sky worriedly, if the illusion cover was broken, then the Brotherhood base would be exposed, and satellites or planes flying over it would find this village and town built in the forest.
The young people in the base soon gathered, and the girl looked around, and most of them saw fear and helplessness in their eyes, these mutant brothers and sisters, many of them were not adults. They should have a happy family, love their parents, go to school, make friends, and party happily, instead of living the days of displacement and fear. Why do humans just refuse to let us go! The girl bit her lower lip, forced herself to suppress her anger, and said loudly to them: "Run, run into the forest!" ”
"I'm not leaving, this is my home, where can we go without here?" A black teenager cried, "Let's go fight and get the invaders out!" ”
The girl scolded sharply: "Shut up, the battle is our business!" Obey my orders, and run away, and when he is gone, you can come back. ”
Another boy, who looked to be only ten years old, timidly asked, "Lorna, will you come to us..."
The girl's reply was resounding: "Of course, but before I come, you must take care of yourselves." Then she smiled and comforted the little boy, "Don't worry, my sister can fly, and the bad guys can't catch me." ”
After saying these words, she urged everyone to run quickly, and the farther away from the base, the better. There were three older young men at the end of the line, and when they were almost done, they turned back. The girl seemed to have expected this, and was not surprised, but said in a deep voice to one of the sturdy young men: "You can't stay, you have to lead this group of children to live in the forest until they come back from Huaxia." Hear me clearly! Not allowed to go back to base... The intruder is called Raddemon, and everywhere he goes, there will be nuclear contamination, whoever comes in will die! ”
The young man was about to speak, but the maiden stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar, pushed him back several steps, and roared, "Stop talking nonsense! Radiant Demon won't be waiting for us long, Thunderbird. Sonia is dead, you have to live, you have to avenge her! ”
The young man named Thunderbird was blinded, his muscles were bursting out, and his teeth were gritting loudly, but he was unwilling to disobey the girl's wishes. He roared like a beast, turned and ran, and disappeared into the jungle in just a few breaths.
The girl looked back at the people left behind - Jermaine, a black brother who could crystallize contacts, Naya, a girl who could control the water element, and Wes, the illusion maker, who had stood still all the time, all of them looking at her calmly. Jermaine opened the door of the house behind him and said to the girl, "I don't have time, go do your business, we are here to watch." ”
They are all friends who have grown up together since childhood, and the tacit understanding is so tacit that there is no need to say more, the girl held back her tears, nodded vigorously, and went into the house. The door closed behind her, and there was silence in the room, and the girl forced herself to compose, lifted the carpet, opened the secret door on the floor, and jumped down.
Beneath the secret door is a completely different world, with passages made of metal and self-functioning electronic devices, all of which are high-tech and sophisticated. This is an underground base built by Magneto himself, and it is also said that the person who can assist Dr. X in building the brainwave enhancement machine can only build some broken houses.
The girl walked quickly into a room, pulled down all the locks, and then walked over to the transceiver and sent the docking signal. After a while, a burly figure appeared in front of the screen, but it was dark over there, and the girl could only see the familiar outline of her father.
"What's going on, kid?" A deep male voice said.
The girl's emotions could no longer be suppressed, tears burst out of her eyes, all pretense of strength was gone, and now in the room was only a little girl with extreme fear in her heart. "Father, come back quickly, someone is attacking us, he is calling... Radiant Demon, we can't stop him, our home is going to be ruined! ”
Seeing his daughter's expression, Magneto over there was taken aback, and the video screen shook violently. "Calm down, Lona!" Magneto was concerned about it, and his voice trembled a little at this time, "There is an attack? We'll be right back! ”
After all, the girl is not yet twenty years old, and she has never experienced such a thing, and at this time she is already panicked and clueless, and her mouth just asks repeatedly, "What should I do, what should I do?" ”
Magneto let out a low snort, barely stabilizing the girl's mood, and he said loudly, "Hurry up, Lorna, hurry up." Fly and get as far away from that bastard as possible! Cities can be rebuilt, and there is hope for people who are still there! ”
After listening to her father's words, the girl's mood stabilized a little, and she decided to immediately break through the metal passage and return to the ground to help her friends defend against foreign enemies. Even if you can't win the fight, you can pull them up and run away.
She disconnected the video, and as soon as she turned around, she gasped violently.
The heavy metal door was open, and the terrifying green demon was half exposed outside the door, smiling eerily, a white eyeball staring at her.
"Finished posting?" The Radiant Demon walked into the room and said casually, "Then your mission is accomplished, hehe..."
The girl felt that it was difficult to breathe, and the panic completely took over her brain, and only the hideous figure of the radiant demon was approaching step by step. Suddenly, she shuddered, and then screamed bitterly:
"You're using me, using me to lure them back! You're this... Mean bastard!! ”
Magneto's veins were surging wildly, the magnetic force in the girl's body increased exponentially, and metal molecules were drawn to her from all directions, condensing a silver spear, and then turning into a phantom that pierced the radiant demon's face.
Chen Lu also released his ability at the same time, and the nuclear energy in his body was wildly released, he was like a small sun, and the blazing white glare covered everything around him. The girl's eyes were directly flashed by the bright light, and her brain immediately shut down, and her consciousness was swallowed up by darkness in an instant. The metal spear flew past Chen Lu's ears, shattering the steel walls and corridors behind him, opening a large hole in the ground with a diameter of ten meters and shooting into the sky, disappearing without a trace. This powerful blow shocked Chen Lu enough, she really deserves to be the daughter of Magneto!
The pace of his attack today was very good, not only putting enough pressure on the guards, but also leaving enough time for the people at the base to notify Magneto in China. Dealing with a few mutant youths was not a problem for Chen Lu, he arrived outside the door not long after the girl dialed the video, so after hearing their conversation, he realized that this little girl was Magneto's biological daughter, no wonder she could also control metal.
He looked at the girl standing in front of him with empty eyes and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Lorna Dane..."
Chen Lu smiled slightly, turned his head and left, the girl was controlled by Chen Lu, and followed him step by step. The two returned to the surface, and the original thriving Brotherhood base had been completely dead by the destruction of the houses, the smoke and dust, and all the vegetation had turned black and withered. Chen Lu took out a rag from his pocket, with a strange pattern painted on it, it was a skull with octopus tentacles, he threw the piece of cloth to the ground, crushed it into the dirt with his foot, and returned the girl the same way.
There was a business sedan parked by the woods, without a license plate, two Asian men in suits and leather shoes stood by the car and waited, and saw Chen Lushi Shiran walking out, followed by a young girl, all of them were surprised. One of them stopped in front of Chen Lu, and was embarrassed: "Dr. Chen, you don't meet the rules like this..."
Chen Lu pushed the man aside, pulled the car door to push the girl in, glared and said, "Don't be long-winded, Lao Tzu is not under the management of your special group." Let me find a way to transport this girl back to China, and I will ask you if I lose a hair. After saying that, he got into the car by himself.
The two special group office staff glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness on each other's faces. This master is very big, if he starts a temper, the president of the Central Academy of Scientific Research will not dare to brush his tiger whiskers, and he can only do what he asks first. They looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then got into the car.
The car started slowly and headed for Toronto.
…
7,000 kilometers away in Qiantang City, China, in an abandoned factory in the southern suburbs, more than a dozen black shadows surrounded a burly man in the middle, and everyone was hidden in the darkness and couldn't see his true face. The burly man suppressed his monstrous anger, and his sonorous voice echoed in the hall: "Radiant Demon, who is it?!" Let me catch that bastard, and he will regret coming into this world! He thought for a few seconds and called the names of the four men, "Jason, Asazzo, Red Tank, Callisto, you guys go back." ”
A nice female voice said, "If the illusion master is gone, the psychic superpowers here may find out about us, is this inappropriate?" ”
"The existence of the base must not be made public, and the illusion must be maintained." The man's voice rose again, "Our plan can only be carried out in advance, we will evacuate after installing the equipment, and they will not find anything if they are discovered." ”
The man began to give a series of orders: "Raven, you have been walking around for the past few days and familiarizing yourself with the surrounding terrain; Jason, you search for the location of 'Flicker', she's in a nearby city, find her and ask her to send you back, this will save time, Toad, you go to the neighborhood and steal a car and come back, Red Lotus, you go to Jubi Lee, I need her information; The saber-toothed tiger hurried to recuperate from his wounds and was ready to fight at any time; John is in charge of guarding the mirrors. Everyone keeps a low profile and uses as little as possible. ”
