Volume 5 The Battle of the Apocalypse Chapter 63 Mutant Cleanup (3)
“...... And when I saw the Lamb open the first of the seven seals, I heard a voice of thunder from one of the four living creatures, saying, Come! And I looked, and behold, there was a white horse; And he that sat on the horse had a bow and a crown to him. And he came out, and he was victorious, and he was victorious. ”
"When the second seal was opened, I heard the second living creature say, 'Come! And another horse came out, red, and had authority over him that rode on horseback, that he might take the peace from the earth, and that men might kill one another; And a great sword was given to him ....... ”
Zhou Qi still had a smile on his face, as if nothing happened. As if it wasn't his own body that was shot just now. He turned around and began to read aloud the words that appeared on the projection screen. Some of the people in the room were devout Christians, and they were no strangers to this passage from the biblical book of Revelation.
"When the third seal was opened, I heard the third living creature say, 'Come! And I looked, and behold, there was a black horse; He on a horse, holding a scale. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, "A penny for a measure of wheat, and a penny for three measures of barley; Oil and wine should not be wasted. ”
When the fourth seal was opened, I heard the fourth living creature say, "Come!" So I looked, and behold, there was a gray horse; And he that sat on a horse was called Death, and hell followed him; The authority was given to them to kill a quarter of the earth with the sword, with famine, with pestilence, with wild beasts, .......
Reading this, Zhou Qi stopped. Sharp eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one. "I think you can understand who our enemy really is!"
"Nope! My God, if you follow the biblical foreshadowings, when the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse appear, the world will die and order will be restored. But how is this possible? "An officer sitting next to General Phillips drew a cross in front of him with a trembling arm. His face changed drastically, and he sweated like rain.
"Nothing is impossible! Shabanur has been alive for more than 10,000 years! He has witnessed the development and rise and fall of the entire human society from ancient times to the present! Every time he is reforged after destruction, he appears. I have to say with regret that even the Bible is very likely to have come from him! ”
"This is an existential war, gentlemen! And now, it's just getting started! Attacks on the capitals of countries are only a small prelude. If events are allowed to unfold, it will not take more than a month for the world to be engulfed by an overwhelming army of mutants! ”
As he spoke, Zhou Qi nodded at the beautiful secretary who had already been stunned by the news, and motioned for her to continue playing.
The footage shows him battling death in the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
"This is death among the Four Horsemen! The good news is that, as his name suggests, he is dead and cannot die again. And the bad news is that in addition to him, there are three other guys scattered around the world and dominating the battle. In addition, Apocalypse has 4 new knights under his command, and our old friend Mr. Magneto Ranchel is just one of them! ”
"So here we are! Only we can stand up to them! And now, we need your help! ”
Zhou Qi leaned his hands on the table and interrupted his speech. As he scrutinized, there was a moment of silence in the room.
"It sounds incredible, but I think you're right. What can we do about it? Mr. Zhou Qi? At that moment, through the secret door that slipped open from the wall next to the conference room, several people walked out. The one who spoke was walking in the front row, a middle-aged man who looked in good spirits.
Everyone at the conference table got up from their seats when they saw him coming.
"Hello Mr. President, I am honored to meet you." Zhou Qi stretched out his hand and shook hands with the president, who had been an actor. At the same time, I must be in my heart that since this guy has come forward, it means that the plan has been half successful.
"What we need is simple, and that is full cooperation, Mr. President. Only we can identify mutants hiding in the crowd. For this, I'm afraid you have to order the army to blockade the entire Huasheng/Don District! Until we purge all the minions of the Apocalypse! ”
"It's going to be an important decision, young people. So I want to know, what do you and your friends want? The actor president habitually touched his clean and slippery jaw and asked rhetorically.
"In addition to cooperation, we hope that you will advocate for the repeal of all laws that discriminate against mutants!" Zhou Qi's words were like a shock, making the minds of everyone present a little unable to turn. I don't understand why he is exterminating mutants while making demands that are beneficial to mutants.
"It sounds incredible, but why?"
"This is by no means a request, nor is it a strategy. We're not used to the hell politicians divide their enemies from within. It's just a promise to a friend. Not all mutants have problems, on the contrary, it is too much rejection and discrimination that pushes them to the opposite side. On the one hand, legislation restricts the rights and interests of mutants, and on the other hand, they are constantly being studied. Hope to get the secret of their power. Don't you think that's a contradiction in itself? ”
A look of embarrassment appeared on the face of the actor president. Very American, he spread his arms and shrugged his shoulders. "I need to see our honorable Mr. Justice in an hour. Also, please Charles. Dr. Wiesel must attend the meeting in 1 hour. ”
After giving instructions to the secretary, he turned his head to look at Zhou Qi. "I have to be thankful for that, young man. Perhaps you reminded me of an important issue that I have been overlooking. Promise me one thing, take out that blue-skinned bastard! Again, this is not a request. ”
"As you wish, Mr. President. And that's going to be another promise! ”
Moments later, the group walked out of the Pentagon. In Zhou Qi's pocket, there is an extra document signed by the president in person.
"Wow, you were so handsome just now. Don't you think about socializing with my dear sister? The leather whip in her hand tastes much stronger than a bullet, I can assure you. Scarlett reached out and poked Zhou Qi's chest muscles, her voice sweet and greasy.
"Phew!" Xia Ruobing and Xie Yunfei took a sip softly. Then, after glancing at each other, they turned their heads in the opposite direction with a "hum".
"I said, you kid wants to talk nonsense with that dead old man for a long time for Mao. Wouldn't it be enough to just start it? There are more American GIs, who are in the way. Don't say you guess! Or I'm going to turn my face. Zhang Dingjun scratched his bare head and looked at Zhou Qi with a puzzled expression.
Zhou Qi looked at him with a smile and shook his head. "Armies, do you really believe that just a few of us can save the world? I don't need to tell you about the strength of the Apocalypse, you have also seen it with your own eyes. We don't stand the slightest chance against him. I discussed this with the captain, not only to get the support of the U.S. government, but also to get in touch with other governments. With the assistance of the army, against the Apocalypse, not to mention the odds of victory, at least the gap in strength can be leveled. ”
"In addition, it is also good for us to improve our prestige in the academy as soon as possible. If you really want to improve your prestige by completing the mission, I don't know when you will have to wait until the anti-mutant law is repealed. That's our best chance. After listening to Zhou Qi's words, Qin Fei added at the right time.
"So your kid sang like this. I said why I ran to the Pentagon. Zhang Dingjun suddenly opened his mouth when he heard this, and secretly praised it in his heart. As long as the mutant anti-discrimination bill is successfully passed, it is equivalent to officially recognizing the legal status of mutants. What could come faster than this trick to gain prestige?
Zhou Qi and Qin Fei glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's smiles in each other's eyes. Not only did it exceed the plan. Now that we have official support, the next steps will go even more smoothly. The bait has been laid, and the next step is to wait for the big fish to take the bait.
At the same time, it is located on the highway from New York to Washington/Don.
“...... And it came to pass, when the fifth seal was opened, that I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for their witnesses, crying with a loud voice, saying, How long wilt thou judge those who dwell on the earth, O holy and true Lord, and avenge us with bloodshed?
So white robes were given to every one of them; And it was said unto them, that he would rest a little while, until the number of servants and their brethren who were fellow servants were slain, as they were slain.
And when the sixth seal was opened, I saw a great shaking of the earth, and the sun was darkened like wool, and the full moon was red like blood, and the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree was shaken by a strong wind, and fell its unripe fruit.
and the heavens were moved as a scroll being rolled up; Mountains and islands have been moved away from their ....... ”
Hideo Kano gently closed the Bible in his hand, and it was a passage from the book of Revelation that he had just read aloud. He put down the book casually, his handsome face was calm, and his eyes were a little melancholy, staring at the scenery speeding by outside the car window.
"He Yejun, what are you thinking?" In the back seat of the car, Michiko, who was next to him, with a soft body, quietly snuggled up to him. Place your head gently on his shoulder.
Hideo Kano reached out and took her in his arms, stroking her long, silky hair. For some reason, when he decided to return to Huasheng/Don to continue hunting mutants, a sense of foreboding had swelled up in his heart since the early hours of the morning. And this has never been done before in a mission.
Is it because of that person? Hideo Kano was reluctant to continue thinking about it. But Zhou Qi's shadow involuntarily appeared in his mind.
"He must be killed!" He Ye kept repeating this sentence in his heart. Maybe only by killing the person named Zhou Qi can he return to his former normalcy. And it's not like now, with the calm of the face to hide the inner uneasiness.
Michiko's eyes were wide open, and she was obsessed with the angular outline of the side of the face of the man in front of her.
"What is He Yejun worried about? Are you worried about that Chinese man? Michiko clenched her slender fingers. The long nails dug into the palms of the palms, and I didn't know it. In her impression, He Yejun has always been confident and omnipotent, and now, all this has changed. Come to think of it.
"I'm sorry He Ye-kun, Michiko will never let anyone hurt you!" As the car passed through a tunnel, a tear slipped down Michiko's beautiful cheek in the gloomy compartment.
