Chapter 123: Sacrifice
Jenny fell last, avoided everyone's attention, came to Ling Xiao's side, and forced the joy in her heart and said, "Ling, it's great to see that you're okay. ”
"Me too." Ling Xiao looked at Jenny with a smile, gently shook her little hand, and whispered, "Let's go." ”
Everyone came to the empty clearing in front of them, and they all looked at Wolverine with surprise on their faces, because he had said that there was a helicopter waiting for them here.
Here is the other side of the dam, they parked the stealth plane on the other side, and once the dam is washed away, they will be flooded in the first place.
"The helicopter was right here." Wolverine couldn't help but roar loudly.
"It's Magneto." Ling Xiao stood aside and sneered, he didn't believe that Wolverine was lying, just by looking at the traces on the ground, he knew that the helicopter had stopped here before, and it was obviously driven away later.
Hearing Ling Xiao say this, Wolverine subconsciously looked at the end of a boulevard on one side, where William Stryker was tightly tied to a boulder, and an iron chain was wrapped around his body, making him unable to move at all.
Wolverine doesn't remember what he did, it's obvious that this is Magneto's method, and it seems that it was indeed Magneto who drove away the helicopter.
Jean followed Wolverine's gaze and saw that William Stryker was there, and since it wasn't him who drove away the helicopter, it could only be Magneto.
At this moment, Jean suddenly frowned, looked up at the sky to the north, and on the top of the tree, a black plane staggered towards them, it was the stealth plane that belonged to them, and it was a little naughty who piloted it.
Jean's eyes were full of surprise, she didn't expect that the little naughty would be able to start the plane and fly over at the moment of crisis.
The plane staggered to where everyone was, and finally fell violently, but it seemed lucky that the plane was not damaged. Stormgirl handed Professor Charles to the Blue Devil Wagner and got on the plane first, while she took the other children on the plane one by one.
Ling Xiao stood at the tail of the plane and looked at Wolverine, who had made the final end with Stryker, he shook his head slightly, turned his head to look at Jenny beside him, and said gently, "Let's go, let's go up too." ”
Because Jean was injured, Scott sat in the co-pilot seat instead of him, and Professor Charles sat behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Scott, we are going to Washington, D.C., I am afraid that this matter is too widely involved now." ”
"Good!" Scott was involved in this matter from beginning to end, and he knew that without the permission of the White House, Stryker would not have attacked them in the place where Magneto was being held, so this matter was finally going to be closed, and the White House had to nod.
When Wolverine finally got on the plane and counted the number of people, everyone found that the Burning Man had disappeared without knowing when.
"He's with Magneto." Qin's heart moved, and she suddenly spoke, with an ugly face.
"I told you, beware of Magneto." Ling Xiao sneered lightly, he didn't feel strange at all that the Fire Man was pulled away by Magneto, he had seen the Fire Man take the initiative to approach Magneto on the way here before, and it was expected that this kind of thing would happen at this time.
Ling Xiao's words made Qin fall silent for a while, and Wolverine suddenly opened his mouth at this time to change the topic: "Storm girl, why haven't you taken off yet?" ”
"The thrusters didn't respond, I managed to switch to manual operation, but it still didn't work." Storm Girl kept pressing the various buttons on the bridge, and soon she said with some fear: "Oh no, we have lost all momentum, hurry, hurry up ......"
At this time, the dam outside was finally broken by the lake under heavy pressure, and one after another huge holes were broken open, and the whole earth trembled, and the collapse of the dam had reached the point of no return.
"The fuel group can't be connected, and the engine control system is broken, can it be changed to manual operation?" Scott and Stormgirl quickly discussed, trying to fix the plane in a short time.
"Yes, but it will take time." Storm Girl's face was ugly, it was nothing in normal times, but now, when the dam was close to complete collapse, there was no such time.
Jean and Professor Charles are the ones who know the crisis best, and the rushing waters of the lake will tear this plane to pieces.
Perhaps Jean himself, Wolverine, Scott, Storm, and Charles and the others will be able to escape this fate, but the other children will definitely not be spared.
Not to mention, without planes, they would not have been able to get to Washington in time, and humanity is imminent to declare war on mutants. If we can't get to the White House in time to stop this, then the war between humans and millions of mutants will definitely break out, and the death toll will be in the tens of millions and the blood will be spilled at that time.
Compared with Professor Charles, who had just consumed a huge amount of mental energy, Jean felt the pressure on his shoulders particularly heavy, and took a deep look at Logan and Scott, Jean turned around and walked out of the stern decisively.
"Jean!" Charles noticed the movement of the piano for the first time and couldn't help but call her.
At this time, the others realized that Jean had quietly disappeared without knowing when, and Wolverine and Cyclops panicked at the same time.
"She's outside the cabin." For the first time, there was a hint of confusion on Charles's face, he knew what Jean wanted to do, but there was nothing he could do to stop it.
As soon as she heard that Jean was outside the cabin, Scott immediately understood what she wanted to do, and hurried towards the rear of the cabin.
But the hatch closed in an instant, which was obviously Jean's technique, and she stood in the open space outside, using her mental power to prepare to resist the onslaught of the approaching water, while helping to repair the plane outside the cabin.
"The engine responded." Stormgirl looked at the buttons that suddenly lit up and muttered.
Scott, of course, knew what that meant, and he immediately yelled with some hysteria, "No, we're not leaving, Stormgirl, lower the hatch." ”
At this time, the dam was finally completely washed away, and the lake, which had been bound for decades, was like a dragon that had escaped from the trap, carrying tens of thousands of tons of force to rush down to the outskirts of the valley, and this plane would be the first toy to be washed away by the flood.
Qin took a deep breath, and all the spiritual power in his body was activated, on the one hand, he laid a spiritual shield in front of him, and on the other hand, he manipulated the controller in the plane, forcibly let it start, and began to take off.
Qin Xuan's position was very clever, coupled with the triangular spirit shield, when the surging flood hit her, she slid past both sides of the spirit shield, on the one hand, she minimized the impact on herself, and on the other hand, it was just enough to allow the plane to avoid the impact of the flood.
Wolverine grabbed the Blue Devil's shoulder and said viciously, "You, hurry up and save her for me." ”
"I wanted to, too, but she wouldn't let me!" The Blue Devil almost cried, Jean and Storm Girl were the two best people for him, and now Jean chose to sacrifice himself to let them escape, even if the Blue Devil wanted to use his ability to save Jean, because his spirit had been controlled by Jean.
Determined to sacrifice her piano, she burned all her abilities at the moment, and her voice instantly sounded in everyone's minds: "I know what I'm doing, this is the only way." ”
"Jean, don't do this to me." Scott's feet went limp, and he fell to his knees, his face sad, and tears couldn't help but flow.
"Goodbye." As the sound of the piano sounded again, the plane slowly rose until it was a few meters above the water, and the next moment, the piano player standing on the ground let go, and the whole person was washed away by the surging flood and did not know where it went.
There was silence in the cabin for a moment, everyone knew that Qin had disappeared, only Ling Xiao sat there with a calm face, because he knew that Qin was still alive.
