"Intrusion Alert! Intrusion Alert! ”

The shrill sound of alarms, accompanied by a blinding glow that constantly flashed, echoed through .M's underground fortress, and the first and second floors of the underground base had fallen in less than 10 minutes, leaving the entire base in a state of panic.

"Unknown militants are clearing the first floor of the base! There are dangerous mutants who are assisting them! ”

In the headquarters on the fourth basement level, a researcher-like commander in a strange yellow robe stared at the surveillance screen in front of him, grabbed the communicator, and shouted to his panicked subordinates:

"Don't panic! It's just a minor issue... Team A, unleash the Enhanced Defenders, and Team B, activate the three-tier defense network and stick there! Support from headquarters is on the way, and the management will not give up on us! ”

"Hold on, brothers! We can win! ”

The commander had a loud voice and spoke with a strong sense of breath.

His voice spread along the sound transmission equipment of the underground fortress, and the news that support was coming made the soldiers and researchers who were a little panicked by the attack a little relieved, so they began to activate various mechanical weapons according to their duties, and prepared to meet the incoming invaders.

"Smack"

The commander turned off the communicator, he glanced at the wolf-like X-Men and the well-trained black-clad soldiers on the surveillance screen, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, then turned his head, lowered his voice, and said to an extremely ordinary-looking researcher holding an energy gun next to him:

"George, don't alarm the others, go to the fifth basement floor, and sneak out our latest research results, I'll wait for you at the exit of the underground tunnel."

"Huh?"

The researcher, named George, looked blankly at the Chief, and he asked:

"Sir, aren't we going to hold on here? Aren't there reinforcements coming? Didn't you say we could win? ”

"Hell!"

The chief covered his head with a headache, and said:

"There are no reinforcements, this place is too far from the headquarters, and even if reinforcements arrive, it won't be too late... You idiot, look at the invaders, they are well-trained, they are clearly official forces, we can't win! ”

"But... But there was deadly radiation in the test site on the fifth floor of the basement, and we couldn't turn off those energy generators at all for a short time. ”

George sensed that his commander was using him as cannon fodder, and he said in a cowardly tone:

"Maybe, maybe you can find someone else..."

"Hey, George, listen."

. The Chief of Base M's tone became unpleasant, and he patted George on the shoulder, and said:

"You've been with the organization for more than a decade, and you're a trustworthy person, George, but you also know that the experimental rocket vehicle in the underground tunnel can only seat five people... I and the three high-level researchers have to go, and as for you, George, you see, I don't have to take you away. ”

"I..."

George finally understood what the chief meant, this guy was indeed using him as cannon fodder, he knew very well what the research results of the fifth underground layer were, and the lethal radiation of that thing would cause irreversible mutations to the human body.

But now, he has no other choice.

George felt a little sad in his heart, he clenched the energy gun in his hand, gritted his teeth, and said to the chief:

"I'll go get the research results immediately, you must wait for me!"

"Good."

The chief nodded with satisfaction, and said:

"You've only got 15 minutes, George, I'm going to start the self-destruct program, you know, there's a lot of information in the base that can't be seen."

"I see."

George turned around and quickly walked down the spiral staircase, while his commander looked at the mediocre researcher with a cold gaze, he had no intention of taking George with him. Tarleton got out of here.

Pioneer Technology is a world-renowned scientific and technological research organization, after decades of development, they have a huge influence and profound heritage, and there are far countless excellent researches. A guy like Tarleton, who hasn't produced a brilliant research result for several years, was originally to be eliminated.

"But your little life may still be of some use to the organization."

A sneering smile appeared on the chief's gloomy face, and when George passed through the deadly radiation layer and retrieved important research results, this mediocre guy would be useless.

He looked back at the surveillance screen behind him, on that screen, the steel-clad steel-boned steel-strong, fearless of bullets and bullets, rushed into the third layer of defense like a beast, and those huge defense machines were no match for this steel-man at all.

Not to mention the spirit butterfly that followed Colossus, the elegant female warrior could easily smash a costly defensive equipment with a sharp crimson energy every time she swung her sword.

"Mutants..."

The commander whispered:

"A force that is so powerful that it makes no sense, we will eventually master it! Hehe, it's just a matter of time. ”

—————————————————

"Hell! Damn it! A bunch of damn bastards! It's all bastards! ”

On the fifth basement floor unmonitored, George was forced to come to retrieve the results of his research. Wearing a heavy hazmat suit, Tarleton struggles his way through the energy lab.

As he went, he cursed his immediate superiors and the damned intruders.

He was not a man with big ideals when he joined. M is just to make ends meet, and he is not a talented person, he is at the bottom of every organization's performance assessment.

And now, he was also forced to come and pick up dangerous things, which made George's emotions a little explosive.

He raised his head, and in the heavy laboratory made of special materials and similar to glass containers, there was an erected scaffold formed by the gathering of many special modules, and three very sophisticated ray generators were placed around the scaffold, and on the scaffold, a square energy body was placed.

It has a weird, orange-yellow glow that looks like the most perfect gemstone.

This is. It took decades and resources to produce the most advanced energy polymers. It is said that its design blueprint comes from the strange and strange Cosmic Rubik's Cube that caused great turmoil during World War II.

Then. M was still a research organization in the Hydra system, but with the disappearance of the Red Skull, the founders of the ambitious Pioneer Technology broke away from the declining organization and went it alone.

"What the hell!"

George cursed again, then stretched out his hand and entered the cumbersome code on the button of the glass cabin in front of him.

"Smack"

The glass pod was pushed open, and George stepped inside, reaching for the orange-yellow cube.

The thing in front of him is a sample that was successfully copied some time ago, and deeper in the laboratory, there is a prototype that is not fully functional, and George must get two things in exchange for a "ticket" to live.

"Ahem"

Just then, a coughing voice suddenly sounded behind George, startling him, and he turned around sharply to see a guy in a trench coat with a strange blue mask, standing behind him.

"Ahem."

Merlin coughed, he felt that some strange energy around him was trying to penetrate his body, those intensely radioactive energy, blocked from his body by the magic, but still made Merlin feel very uncomfortable.

He looked up at George, who was holding the cube in front of him. Tarleton, he whispered:

“Legilimens！ (Dementor)

"Huh"

A strong will pierced George's heart like a sharp knife, and he felt his memories being retrieved quickly.

It's a pity that he is not a strong-willed person, he is mediocre, mediocre in every way.

After a few seconds, Merlin found the information he needed, and he reached out and took the orange cube from George's hand, in the memory of George's mind. M used this cube to charge and use special equipment to capture the mutants silently.

"An energy block that can easily break through space... A replica of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. ”

Merlin looked at the orange energy block in his hand, and he looked at George who was curled up on the ground. Tarleton Says:

"What you've researched is really amazing."

"Give it to me!"

George's mind was blank, the pain left after being searched made him a little anxious, he looked at the energy block that fell into Merlin's hands, this guy's mind echoed with the thought that he was about to die in this ghost place, he didn't know where the courage came from, and grabbed Merlin's wrist.

"Huh?"

Merlin glanced down at him, and that indifferent gaze made George suddenly stunned in place.

He stammered:

"They... They will start the self-destruct program, there is no such thing ... I'm just, I'm going to die... Please, please give it to me. ”

"Self-destructing program?"

Merlin blinked, he grabbed George's collar, and disappeared into the energy-filled underground laboratory in a flash, and when he reappeared, the two were already standing at the end of the snowy mountain canyon.

"Poof"

George, with his legs limp, sat on the ground, lifted the heavy hood of his hazmat suit, retching and surveying his surroundings.

"Alright, you're safe, man."

Merlin crouched down and said to George:

"I don't find out in your memory that you've done anything to hurt anyone else, so you can live, but don't think you deserve it, if next time I see you wandering around these bastards' bases..."

"No, no, I'll quit them right away!"

George, who had survived, waved his hands and said to Merlin:

"I'll go, thank you, thank you, man."

As he spoke, he staggered to his feet and rushed out of the snow, but Merlin put his hand on the fellow's shoulder, and asked:

"Logan, that powerful mutant, where are you locked up?"

"Logan?"

George looked at Merlin suspiciously, and he said:

"I don't remember this person. However, in the innermost high-level creature chamber on the fourth basement floor, there is an unidentified mutant who was accidentally captured more than 20 days ago, and you can check it out there. ”

As he spoke, George also handed his employee card to Merlin "intimately", he said:

"With this thing, it can help you open the ring passage on the fourth basement floor, but the self-destruct program is estimated to have been activated, and there will be an explosion there in a maximum of 20 minutes."

"Thank you."

Merlin reached for George's employee card and disappeared into the snow in a flash.

George looked around like a ghost, and after a moment, he shivered and began to flee briskly through the snow.

After running a few steps, the mediocre George suddenly turned his head and looked at the base in the distance, he forgot something very important.

"In the laboratory on the fifth floor of the basement, there is also a prototype Rubik's Cube."

"Hell! Once that thing explodes... It's over, I've got to run far... The farther away the better! ”

——————————————————

"The self-destruction procedure in the underground fortress has been activated, take the people you rescued out of here!"

Merlin spoke to the mutants and agents who were trying to break through to the downside:

"It's time to retreat!"

On the other side of the communicator, Elsa and the agents, who were on the second basement floor to check the injuries of the trapped mutants, heard the order and immediately evacuated to the ground with those mutants who could still move, the first floor of the bunker had been cleared, and 20 minutes was completely enough to evacuate the base without anyone stopping them.

Another S.H.I.E.L.D. advisor, Dobby, kept leaving the bunker with those badly injured mutants. L.D.'s medical officer has set up a makeshift medical station, and Auroro is using his ability to maintain the temperature in the area so that these mid-to-upper digits don't freeze to death.

Merlin himself, on the other hand, came to the annular passage on the fourth basement floor through the ventilation ducts connected to the upper and lower levels of the base.

And many more. M's researchers and soldiers are stubbornly resisting, unaware that the self-destruct procedure has been initiated.

These guys, abandoned by their commanders.

It's sad.

"Huh"

Merlin's figure appeared in the hall of the fourth-floor passage, and he shouted to the stubborn yellow-clothed men in front of him:

"Your commander has already run away, he has activated the base's self-destruct procedure, you want to stay here and do whatever you want, if you want to escape, go to the outskirts of the base to S. L.D.'s agents surrender! I warn you only once. ”

After speaking, his figure disappeared again, rushing towards the deepest cell, behind him, those people in yellow you look at me, I look at you, in the end, a girl was the first to resist the pressure, threw away the energy gun in her hand, and rushed out towards the upper floor.

It was like a sign, like a bell ringing in the minds of these dazed fellows, and one after another people left after her, and finally even the die-hards set out on the run.

Merlin sensed movement over there, but he ignored them.

With George's employee card in hand, Merlin made his way through several closed automatic doors, and finally appeared in front of him, a creature cage the size of a small house.

He stood in front of the cage, drew his wand, and cast a lock-picking spell on the heavily encrypted locks.

"Smack"

The heavy, steel-made door was pushed open from the inside at this moment, and with a beastly roar, a pair of wolf-like eyes appeared before Merlin's eyes.

"Poof"

Six silver recurve blades pierced Merlin's chest at this moment, but no blood flowed out, not even a wound.

Merlin didn't care about the sharp blade that pierced his chest, and he scrutinized the furious wild man in front of him, covered in various restraint shackles, with black hair scattered like a beast.

After a moment, he whispered:

"Hello..."

"Logan."
