Chapter 358: Stryker Trapped
Anna keenly caught a message and hurriedly asked, "What?" Are there mutants hiding underneath Riverside Park? β
The captain of the third squad was very honest, and nodded directly and admitted: "Yes, according to the information we have received, there is a mutant hiding place 50 meters below the Hudson Riverside Park, where there are more than a thousand mutant children, and the goal of our operation this time is to dispose of those mutants." β
Explosive point, absolute explosive point, so excited!
Anna stared at the squad leader with accusatory eyes, and asked in a trembling voice, "What does it mean to dispose of on the spot?" β
"Elimination, of course, isn't that what our sentinels do?"
"But those are children!"
"Children will grow up, too."
.....
While ABC's Anna reporter was interviewing the Sentinel soldiers in the "dung pit", Fox's Alice once again found a different way to rummage through the scattered munitions and supplies.
"Hello everyone, I'm Alice from Fawkes, let's take a look at the weapons that the sentries carry, these... Stark - AFU559, this is obviously an Munition produced by Stark Industries, let's check it out and see what it is... Oh my God, this is the latest invention of a directional blasting explosive pack, which is 10 times more powerful than a normal TNT, and it adds up to at least half a ton here, right? We connect with experts... Toot toot... Hey, hello, is it Professor Fowler? Yes, I'm Alice, how powerful is the half-ton AFU559 explosive? β
"Well, I'm watching your news as well, it's not just your half-ton here, according to reliable sources, the Manhattan Police Department also has 40 Sentinel fighters, and they are carrying about half a ton of explosives... 50 meters underground in Riverside Park, I'll do the math... Well, if a ton of AFU559 explodes together, it is equivalent to 10 tons of TNT, and the location is right near the Hudson River... Well, you can refer to Pizza Hut's oversized pizza, Alice, you take a bite, Manhattan is a large pizza, you can imagine the consequences. β
"Oh my God, so scary? So is it worth destroying half of Manhattan in order to wipe out the mutants in the underground base? β
.....
"Shit, stinking bitch, can you bite off half of a fifteen-inch pizza in one bite? Let's try Lao Tzu's eagle owl, a ...... raised by dog food."
Stryker yelled as he dialed Councillor Bloom's cell phone.
"Hey, Councillor Bloom? Don't take that Fowler to say that he's the scum of Harvard, and that guy has had an extramarital affair. β
"But he didn't move that ton of explosives, did he?"
"Councillor Bloom, you also heard, that is a special explosive for directional blasting, how can it destroy Manhattan? I'm not stupid, my own command is less than half a kilometer from the mutant base, am I going to joke with my own life? That shit expert is taken out of context, the power of the bomb is indeed equivalent to 10 tons of TNT, but this is not a simple devastating explosion... Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe Stark, 'Stark's products must be high-quality', it's not a lie. β
Bloom nodded and said, "The explosives don't count, but what's the matter with your sentinels?" Now everyone knows that there is a mutant base under Hudson, and they also know that there are mutant children there, and the incident happened in the most prosperous area of the world - Times Square, and public opinion can't be suppressed by our federation's full efforts. β
Stryker took a deep breath and sighed, "We've been tricked by mutants, I'm not even sure if the news of the underground base in Riverside Park is true, and this time it's just a path... I'm not even sure of the location, how would I know it's all mutant kids? Even I, the commander, don't know the news, how did his squad leader know? All, he's controlled by mutants! You see, he only talked about the underground base of Riverside Park, but not the more important base of Riverside Park and the base of 12th Avenue... Although we were ambushed by mutants, we were sure that the information given to us by President Clinton was correct and that the basic objectives of the operation had been achieved. β
"Goal achieved? Hehe......"
Bloom laughed bitterly when he heard this, shook his head, and said, "Whose goal has been achieved?" Is it the Sentinels, or maybe Payne's mutants? Now, I can tell you unequivocally that just now, I have received a call from the 352nd Manhattan billionaire asking about Times Square, this is still the top big capitalist with power and access, and those upstarts who have just made their way don't know my relationship with the sentinels, otherwise... Forget it, you just have to know that I'm under a lot of pressure, I'm under a lot of pressure from the Sentinels, I'm under a lot of pressure from the big boss, Mr. BolΓvar, and even President Clinton, who told you this information, was under a lot of pressure. And you, William Stryker... Alas, now in mid-September, wait until the regular meeting of the Anti-Mutant Alliance at the end of September, and explain it to everyone yourself! β
"So what now? We've already determined their location! Stryker asked reluctantly.
"William, you're a superstar in our league, and you've been doing a great job lately, but there's only one thing, your mind is still stuck in the colonel stage... Remember, you are the commander of the Sentinel Headquarters, the official commissioner of U.P.A.M., and the tens of thousands of mutants in the United States are not enough for you to catch, so why keep an eye on this handful of people? It's true that Payne is the enemy, but now the situation forces us to keep a low profile, at least until this turmoil has passed, and we can't do it again. β
"How long are you going to let Payne's gang get away with it?" Stryker asked.
"William, you are energetic, what a good seedling!"
After a sigh of emotion, Councillor Bloom waved at a man beside him, and the man nodded, pulling the bodyguard away and surrounding his extended Lincoln from a distance.
That man was an acquaintance of President Maya, well, Mr. Cole, whom Lucius had spoken to at the party.
After spreading his eyes and ears, Bloom lowered his voice and said, "William, you must understand that although U.P.A.M is secretive, the big people know about its existence, and the people who join U.P.A.M., such as you, me, Osborn, General Haydn, the former Councilor Hagrid, etc., are all big people with heads and faces. After all, exterminating mutants is just our secondary job, and you know the university community? U.P.A.M is a community of our adults, indeed, we all have lofty ideals, and everything we do is also for the future of ordinary people, but in reality, we also have our own lives. For example, I always wanted to run for mayor of New York, but because of the Aldrich Psychiatric Hospital incident, I, as a member of the U.P.A.M. committee, was greatly impressed by some left-white elites, and was finally defeated by Rudy Giuliani's bastard. β
"Well, I shouldn't complain, I've had this realization since joining UPAM, but why don't we do it the other way?" 166 Reading Network
