Chapter 673: First Communication: Strong Oppression

For Zhou Yi, it has been a long time since he has been scolded like this. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But, anyway, that's his mother, so even if she scolds badly, as a son, he can only endure it. And, to some extent, Zhou Lan is also right. Sometimes even he feels like a scumbag.

But now is not the time to think about this, especially after being scolded for so long.

"Mommy, Mommy. Can you stop the meeting? Can we stop talking about whether I'm a scumbag for a while? Shall we talk about the children? ”

"Child's business? That's right, my grandson! When this question was mentioned, Zhou Lan immediately came back to his senses. No, where is my grandson? I'm going to see him and see how his life is going! ”

"He's doing well, Mom! I went to see him yesterday and gave him a name. ”

"You named him?" Hearing this, Zhou Lan immediately looked at him in surprise. "What did you name your child?"

"Zhou Shang! I wanted him to be a noble man, and of course, his mother gave him a nickname, and she called him Shane. ”

"Shane? Zhou Shang? That's a good name. Get up for me, we'll go now! ”

"Where are you going?" Zhou Lan's change in attitude made Zhou Yi really a little incomprehensible, but when he asked like this, Zhou Lan's answer was unusually decisive.

"Take me to see the kids, right now."

"It's not good right now, you know. It was already this time, and the child and her mother had to rest. Even if you're anxious to see him, you'll have to wait until tomorrow. ”

Hearing his mother's request, Zhou Yi hurriedly persuaded him. And hearing him say this, Zhou Lan also looked at his watch. Less than ten o'clock made her realize that she still had a long time to wait. And such a long wait was enough for her to scorch her heart.

"No, I can't wait. I have to wait for about ten hours, how can I wait so long! ”

"Mom, waiting is a virtue. You don't want to make a bad impression on your grandson when you meet him for the first time. I told you this little guy is very smart, he's been losing his temper with me since I accidentally him off last time! So I said, if you don't want him to hate you, it's better to wait until tomorrow to see him. ”

Zhou Yi found a very suitable reason to persuade her, and this reason really made Zhou Lan quiet like this. Of course, this is only on the surface. She couldn't sleep because she was restless, so she simply sat there and waited for tomorrow to come. And Zhou Yi was forced by her to stay by her side.

This is really an uncomfortable process for Zhou Yi, it is as hard as sitting on pins and needles. At this time, as uncomfortable as he was, there were also a group of guests from outside Huiyao City.

Although they just sat quietly at the other end of the conference table, for many people, those three women with the status of hostesses were enough to cause them huge psychological pressure.

After witnessing the power of these three women in the Battle of New York, it is impossible for anyone to look at them with normal eyes. In the face of that kind of power that easily covers most of the city, they can only maintain an absolute attitude of awe while being amazed.

Just as sheep would never want to approach an elephant, even if they are herbivores, they will instinctively stay away from it with a force that can easily destroy you. Therefore, if they could, many people would not want to have too much contact with these women. Especially when these women basically don't have any principles and sticks. But now, they have to.

"Dear Lady Ada, and Goddess Lilith, and the student I am most proud of. Thank you so much for your willingness to accept us and help us. ”

The first to speak was Charles, who was also one of the few outsiders in the group who did not have any reverence for these women. As he spoke, he greeted Ada and the unmasked Lilith with a smile before looking at Jean, his former student, with a complicated expression.

For this student with terrifying abilities, his feelings are very complicated even now. So when he saw Jean sitting across from him in such an indifferent way, it was really difficult for him to express what kind of thoughts he was thinking in his heart right now.

However, he didn't think of any more opportunities, because by this time, Ida had already taken the place of their trio and was the first to respond.

"That's what we're supposed to do, after all, most of the people in this city are mutants. We can't afford to let our city lose most of its citizens because of a government order. ”

"Anyway, thank you." With a gentle smile on his face, Charles thanked him again. Only then did he continue. "Time is pressing, I'm afraid we can't afford to say such pleasantries. So, I have a few very important things to ask, and I hope you can give me an answer, can you? ”

Acquaintance glanced at each other, several women exchanged opinions, and Ida responded.

"Of course you can, after all, you are an elder, please ask."

"Then you're welcome." Nodding, Professor Charles asked, looking directly at the women opposite. "I think the ladies should also know something about the situation we are facing. This is a great danger for us mutants. At the same time, this means a terrible crisis for your city. The slightest carelessness can be a tragedy for us, or for you. So, I would like to ask if you have a suitable response to this situation? ”

"Countermeasures?" Hearing this, Lilith was the first to respond. "Of course, we have already prepared a countermeasure, so that any enemy has no way back. So rest assured, Mr. Charles. This is not something you should be worried about. ”

"Can you tell us more about that? As a party, I would like to be able to learn more useful things. After all, this is an existential battle, and we need to appease the emotions of many people. ”

"Unfortunately, this is classified. We can't just tell outsiders about this kind of thing. ”

Ida took over the conversation and shook her head at Charles very solemnly. At this time, Charles smiled slightly, and looked at Ida with a very deep look.

"Miss Ada, we're not outsiders. Strictly speaking, we are the real participants in this war. If even we can't know what you're going to do, then how can you make us trust you and accompany you to this war? ”

"Professor, that's not a reason for you to get into someone's heart. Don't forget, I'm still here. Jean's sudden sound made the smile on Charles's face froze suddenly. And as she thrust in, more people began to look nervous.

For them, Jean Grey is the most dangerous of the three women. They will never forget her terrifying power comparable to Thanos. It is precisely because of this strength that their hearts will be even more panicked. In any case, she was a huge threat to the Dark Phoenix personality.

And for Professor Charles, the moment Jean Grey interjected, his intentions were shattered. Although he has the reputation of being the most powerful psychic on earth. But in the face of the power of the phoenix, his inside is still not enough to pose a threat. So, he couldn't see what Ida was thinking. He even said that he also suffered some small injuries because of his actions.

This made his face turn white quickly, and then, he forced a smile.

"I'm sorry, but it looks like I'm overstepping. But please understand my feelings, after all, this is a matter for the future of mutants. Concern is chaos, and I, an old man, are really a little at a loss. ”

"Only this once, Professor Charles. We respect you and are willing to accept your request for asylum. Know that it is not that we need you, but that you need us. It is we, the city, who are providing you with a place of refuge, a camp against the enemy. So, don't make any more dangerous moves. ”

Ada warned, and from Jean's words and Charles's performance, she certainly understood what the mind controller had done. However, it was destined to be something that would not work. Because no one knows better than she what their power is.

"I promise, there won't be a next time." Shaking his head, Charles said with a wry smile. And then he made another request. "However, I hope you will accept my opinion. After all, the stakes are high. ”

"Tell me about it!"

"I'd like to have Mister Rogers join in command of the Sentinel Robot invasion. He was a team commander during World War II, and he has a lot of experience and experience, and I think that if he joins him, it should add a lot of chances to this war. This is my pleading, and my students and I will feel more at ease with his leadership. ”

Charles's eyes showed deep pleading, and his pleading gaze was on Jean's body. Anyway, they all have a teacher-student friendship, and as a mutant, Jean is also obligated to support him. This is for the future of mutants, and his thoughts are so firm at the moment.

In the face of his plea, the three women shook their heads in unison.

"I'm sorry, Professor. We're not going to let anyone put their hands in there. As we said, we already have a plan for everything. How to protect the city, how to keep you mutants safe. We've all thought it through. So, what you can do is very simple. ”

"Either that, it's to work with us. Fight those robots. Otherwise, they will honestly accept our management and take refuge with those who have little ability to fight. Before that, we've made it very clear. Your power is dispensable to us. So, don't have any superfluous thoughts. Do you understand? (To be continued.) )
