Volume 1 Urban War Clouds Chapter 5 The Power of the Homeland Section 1 Lorna's Decision I

Lorna had a long, dark dream.

In the future, a terrible civil war broke out among the mutants, countless cities were destroyed, and millions of fellow mutants and countless ordinary humans died in the conflict between the two camps.

The war lasted three years, and in the end, the X-Men won at the terrible cost of more than half of their members. The Brotherhood was killed and wounded, and his father, Magneto, was injected with X-gene reducing drugs, completely losing all his superpowers, and becoming an ordinary old man, who would spend the rest of his life in prison.

As the victor, Professor Charles Xavier successfully became the supreme leader of the mutants, but the erosion of time and the injuries left by the war still brought irreversible damage to the once wise old man. The world's most powerful telepathic and master of mind control suffers from Alzheimer's disease. He became more and more unable to control his thoughts, and eventually fell ill at a mutant high-level meeting, and he unconsciously exploded into a violent mental shock, and in just a few seconds, Xavier's Academy for Gifted Teens was a dead place. Seven X-Men members, including Cyclops, Angels, and Storm Girl, as well as more than 600 mutants in total, including the heads of the mutant living quarters and students from the school, all died on the spot, and none of them survived...

Wolverine, who was lucky not to be in X Academy, rescued Professor X, who had completely lost his ability to take care of himself, and disappeared into the wilderness.

The catastrophe became known as the "Westchester Incident", and that day also became a turning point in the dispute between humans and mutants.

Because of the years of mutant wars, humanity has been devastated, and the hatred of mutants has long been raised to its peak, and now that the two major organizations of the Mutant Brotherhood and the X-Men, as well as the vast majority of high-level mutants in the world, have died, they have finally found a chance to fight back. The human army has destroyed all the established mutant colonies in the world, killing all mutants with combat talents, while others who can help humanity are captured and imprisoned, and what awaits them will be a brutal genetic experiment.

The human government has cultivated a certain kind of genetically modified corn, which is grown in large quantities and processed into syrup, food additives and beverages, this corn can perfectly inhibit the mutation of the X gene, and since they were promoted, the number of mutants born every year has decreased, and maybe in a few years, there will be no new mutants.

The remaining undead mutants, hiding in Mexico, formed an underground organization. Lorna was lucky to find that Thunderbird, Sonya, Wes, and Jermaine were all there, and she also had a boyfriend she loved, although in her dreams, she could never see the person's face clearly, but as long as she snuggled up with him, a beautiful aurora would appear next to the two of them.

The good life lasted less than two years, and the Essex Corporation, which was working on the mutant experiments, found their whereabouts and sent their killer group "The Marauders". Also accompanying the team was the captured mutant survivor Cariban, whose special ability was to "pinpoint other mutants", and the Mexican base had already been completely lost before it had time to form an effective resistance.

After stubborn resistance, Lorna was finally captured because she was outnumbered.

She woke up in a haze, the fire in her dream overlapping with the apocalyptic scene in reality, and Lorna couldn't tell what was real and what was false.

The pain in her body was real, and so was the terrifying green demon in front of her, and Lorna's eyes widened with fear, it turned out that this was really not a dream.

"Awake? Very well, keep your eyes open and show me clearly what kind of harm you mutants have brought to this world! ”

The Radiant Demon grabbed the girl by the hair and dragged her for some distance without mercy, then forcibly lifted her up and pressed her against the shattered wall. Lorna was powerless and could only let the demon do it, and only when she was brought up did she see that they were on the top floor of a dilapidated building.

The demon seemed to be enraged, and acted violently, pressing her against the wall with incredible force, and Lorna's face slammed against the rough brick surface, and she groaned softly in pain. Then the distant scene completely attracted her attention, and the noise of the outside world disappeared in an instant.

The person floating in the air, she recognized at a glance, was her father, Magneto. The huge metallic rainbow that she couldn't even imagine in her dreams made her jaw-dropping. Under the command of his father, the floating metal fragments formed a torrent of steel that covered the entire sky, and forced towards the city in the distance. Tens of millions of people will die today, and the main culprit is her father.

The demon's big hand behind her let go, and Lorna slid down the wall and sat on the ground, knowing that her face must be ugly.

The radiant demon's pale eyes were staring at her, and the intense killing intent locked on her, and Lorna knew that she was going to die today, so she simply closed her eyes.

The expected slaughter did not come, and Lorna waited for a while, then quietly opened her eyes again. The demon was staring intently at the battlefield in the distance, where something important seemed to be happening, but she had her back to the wall, unable to move, unable to see anything.

She saw a strange smile on the corner of the demon's mouth, and her white miserable gaze turned to her again, and she couldn't help but stand on end.

After an unknown amount of time, the radiant demon suddenly erupted into a hysterical laugh, and the loud laughter shook Lorna's ears.

"Interesting, interesting!"

The radiant demon finally stopped laughing, and couldn't help but spit out a language she didn't understand at all, repeating a few words to herself, and the sweat on Lorna's forehead instantly flowed.

The demon hadn't looked at her since he laughed, and now he was about to leave. Lorna couldn't wait any longer, so she had to hold back the fear in her heart and asked loudly, "Where are you going, what are you going to do with me?" ”

The Radiant Demon looked back at her coldly and replied, "I was going to kill you, but someone disagreed. I thought he was a hypocrite at first, but now it seems that he was right. Now you're useless to me, fuck off. ”

Lorna was extremely angry, she remembered the tragic situation in the camp again, her eyes immediately turned red, and she spat at the back of the radiation demon: "You demon, sooner or later, one day, the blood feud of my compatriots, I will come to you to avenge it!" ”

"Oh, do you really think so?"

The radfick laughed and turned and walked back. He grabbed Lorna's slender neck and lifted her into the air, hanging from the rooftop.

"Gifted and smart, did you guess something? You are too young to understand some truths, and I will teach you now - in this world, smart people always do not live long. The Radiant Demon's smile was terrifying, and the two rows of white fangs reflected a terrifying cold light in the sunlight, "This is a ten-story building, you have less than 3 seconds to save yourself, Boom... Don't say I didn't give you a chance! ”

Lorna's pretty face flushed, and even though she opened her mouth to breathe as hard as she could, there was still very little oxygen in her lungs. The radiant demon put his mouth close to Lorna's ear and said in a cold voice: "Lao Tzu is about to return to the unit, will you come to take revenge, it's not me who worries!" As soon as she finished speaking, the hand around her neck loosened without warning.

The girl's delicate figure only flashed, and then fell from the roof.

The world is spinning, and Lorna is desperately urging her abilities to survive only a few seconds. Her magnetic energy has been gradually recovering since she woke up, but it is still very weak. In fact, the hoops on her hands and feet did respond to her call, and it was obvious that her descent was slowing down, but time was running out, and finally Lorna fell to the concrete floor with a muffled thud.

Her timely self-rescue behavior saved her life, but this impact still made her pass out.

The radiant demon possessed her, looked at the motionless Lorna with a blank face, and after a long time withdrew her gaze, muttered a few words, and jumped off the other side of the roof, disappearing behind the ruins.

When Lorna woke up again, I don't know how much time had passed, and the scene in front of her was completely different from when she was left behind, the city was new and beautiful, the pedestrians on the road were young and fashionable, and the evergreen plants everywhere were full of life, this was not the end of the world she had seen at all.

Is it all an illusion? Is Radfi really gone? Father, where have they gone now? Lorna, ignoring the pain all over her body, walked down the street to figure out what was going on.

But she didn't know how many days she hadn't eaten or drunk, and her body was so weak that she had only walked a few kilometers and was already unsteady on her feet, and her eyes were full of stars. Lorna half-leaned against the guardrail on the side of the road, wiped the sweat from her face with her sleeve, and then she noticed the restaurant opening on the street, and looked at the food photos posted outside the door, she secretly swallowed her saliva and clenched her fists in annoyance. With her magnetic energy, it stands to reason that it is impossible to make some coins, but in this strange city, with the small part of her ability that she has temporarily recovered, she can't find any coins! It's so unreasonable that they pay to swipe their phones!

Lorna Dane, the daughter of the great Magneto and the acting leader of the Brotherhood, would be so tormented by a meal!

"Meeting is fate, I wonder if I have the honor to invite this young lady to a light meal?"

Remembering the pure American accent from behind, Lorna looked back.
