At the same time as the battle between humans and monsters is going on, in Manchester County, USA, the quiet Xavier Gifted Youth Academy in the suburbs.

Xavier's Academy for Gifted Teens sounds like a regular academy, but it's not really like that.

This is a school for a special group of teenagers, the so-called "special population", which refers to mutant students who have the X gene in their bodies.

Because mutants are generally excluded and suppressed by the general public, and are widely regarded as a danger factor, mutants often do not have access to formal channels of educational resources, and Professor X, as the leader of mutant peace, converted his ancestral mansion into a school for mutant children to live and study.

Today, there have been monster invasions in many coastal countries around the world, which is to some extent a global disaster, and almost all coastal cities that defend against monsters, as well as neighboring cities that may be affected by the war, have had to suspend their classes.

Although X Academy is far away from the city destroyed by the monsters, it is relatively safe, and it has not been affected, but it is also closed today.

As for the reason for the suspension of classes, it goes without saying that in these extraordinary times, it is time for the X-Men, who are concerned about the safety of the planet, to save the world once again!

At this moment, in the office of the president of X Academy.

The old bald old Professor X sat on the multi-purpose wheelchair that the beast had developed for him, with a look of twilight.

Sitting or standing across from him were the X-Men, including Wolverine, Phantom Cat, Cyclops, Coullix, Beast, Iceman, Fireman, and Storm.

It is worth mentioning that Professor X was mentally traumatized and fell into a state of madness a year ago, but fortunately, after a long period of treatment, he is now recovering.

Although his current spiritual strength is not as good as before, he still belongs to the terrifying powerhouse, and a single thought is enough to make all eight X-Men present fall.

"According to official information from the United Nations, fifty monsters landed in coastal cities of various countries at the same time in one day, what is going on, are they all prehistoric monsters living in seclusion somewhere?" Wolverine said with a frown.

"Fifty monsters have landed in fifty coastal cities, and I have to say that even if the local military or superheroes succeed in destroying the monsters, those fifty cities will inevitably suffer serious blows under the fire. Not to mention, in fact, the military strength of many countries has not reached the level of resisting that ancient beast. These fifty monsters are enough to cause millions of casualties around the world, and that's just my conservative estimate, and in fact the actual number of casualties may be much higher, or even ten times higher. Stormgirl analyzed reasonably.

"In my opinion, this time fifty monsters collectively landed in the human world and deliberately invaded coastal cities with dense populations, political concentrations, developed economies, and prosperous civilizations. In any case, since the other party was able to control this terrifying monster, it undoubtedly proved that their power was strong. Phantom Cat also expressed his opinion.

"Well, that makes sense." Laser-eye touched his chin and made a thoughtful gesture, then turned his gaze to Professor X opposite, "Professor, what do you think?" ”

Professor X pursed his lips and nodded slightly, "I can't rule out this possibility." ”

Of course, compared to the simple-minded laser eye, Professor X thinks further.

After a pause, Professor X continued: "Those prehistoric-level monsters, each of them is terrifying, and it is difficult for the armies of the countries of the world to destroy them without using nuclear weapons. ”

"And if we use nuclear weapons, we will face two major problems."

"One is that the explosion of a nuclear bomb will inevitably cause the destruction of a city and nuclear radiation pollution, and the second is that even if nuclear weapons are used, it may not be guaranteed to kill every monster, after all, every monster is different, and some monsters may be immune to nuclear bombs."

"Fifty monsters will appear at the same time in one day today, who can guarantee that there won't be another fifty tomorrow, or even a hundred?"

"The armies and superheroes of various countries, after destroying this batch of monsters, will definitely consume a lot of strength and strength, and after the next batch of monsters comes, it will definitely be more difficult to deal with the new wave of monsters."

"All in all, my strategy is that instead of focusing all our energy on dealing with the monster invasion, we should search for the truth, face the essence, and discover the dark secrets hidden behind this global monster wave!"

After listening to Professor X's words, all the X-Men nodded silently, obviously thinking that he was right.

Professor X is right, there are fifty monsters today, and there may be thousands of monster armies in the monster base camp!

With the current overall military strength of the earth, it is enough to deal with these fifty monsters, and the situation facing blindly only knowing how to resist monsters, but not going back to the source, grasping the key points, and resolving the fundamental contradictions, will naturally become more and more severe.

"So, Professor, how do you think we should go about finding the truth?" Wolverine asked curiously.

Hearing this, Professor X smiled, his face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes flickered, "I'm going to go to the monster scene in person and spy on the memories in the monster's mind!" ”

……

Every superhero is different and inevitably has different weaknesses as well.

Even a terrifying lifeform like Professor X, who has the mental ability of the world's strongest brain, was only a bullet in the leg when he was young, and has been in a wheelchair for decades since. And Wolverine is simple-minded, but he has the ability to heal himself, let alone take a shot, even if he shoots him with Gatling, he can survive.

This also explains why many famous superheroes often join a team of heroes.

Because everyone complements each other's strengths and works together to solve some thorny problems that cannot be solved alone.

Specifically, in the current example, Professor X alone wants to probe the memories in the monster's brain at the scene of the monster, which is undoubtedly very difficult, and maybe even his life will be lost in the hands of the monster.

Therefore, he needs the protection of the X-Men.

According to the relevant reports of monsters around the world in the news, Professor X made a comprehensive screening according to the strength, size, and distance of the monsters from X Academy, and finally selected a giant ape monster in South Africa as the object of exploration and memory.

After choosing, everyone took a high-tech Kun fighter plane placed in the basement of the academy and drove quickly in the direction of South Africa......

South Africa, located at the southernmost tip of the African continent, is the country with the highest economic level in Africa and the only developed country in Africa.

Today, the country has also been attacked by monsters.

Mossebel, a coastal city in the south, was the first to be hit by the monster's landing.

This is a giant ape monster, 90 meters tall and weighing 3,100 tons, much larger than King Kong in "King Kong: Skull Island".

After the giant ape monster landed on the coast, the city of Mosebel immediately fell into a state of chaos, and the South African government immediately dispatched national troops to resist the invasion of the giant ape monster and strive to destroy the giant ape monster on the coast.

It's a pity that the military strength of South Africa is not strong, and after several hours of confrontation with this giant ape monster, half of the city of Mosebel was reduced to ruins, but it still failed to take it.

The South African army suffered heavy losses, with thousands of casualties among its soldiers, hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles and more than a dozen warplanes destroyed.

Of course, the condition of this giant ape monster is not too good, and it has suffered a lot of wounds from artillery fire and missile bombardment, and has suffered a lot of injuries.

By the time the X-Men's Quint fighter arrived, the war between the Great Ape Monster and the local army was almost over.

The so-called end is not that the giant ape monster has been wiped out, but because the local army has been almost completely wiped out and needs to wait for the support of the next group of troops.

But in a sense, the current situation is not bad for the X-Men and his party, just as they wanted.

Without the interference of the army, it would be easier for Professor X to come into contact with monsters and read his memories.

"Guys, we're here!"

The beast piloting the fighter tilted its head slightly and said to his teammates in the cabin.

In the passenger seat sat Professor X, who glanced at the beast and arranged; "Hank, you stay on the plane, ready to pick us up."

"No problem, Professor." The beast nodded in the affirmative.

Except for the beast in charge of piloting the plane, everyone else got off the plane.

As soon as I got off the plane, the image of the 90-meter-tall giant ape monster hundreds of meters away immediately came into everyone's eyes.

The thought of having to deal with this monster in a moment made the X-Men's heartbeats quicken.

This time, Professor X did not sit in his wheelchair, and had to admit that in a current area of devastated streets, collapsed buildings, ruins and smoke, it was not a conscious choice.

Of course, even without a wheelchair, Professor X is still able to move freely.

Because, the two-meter-five tall and manganese steel Lux carried him on his back because of his inconvenient legs and feet.

The strength of Coulix is very large, and carrying Professor X, who weighs about 100 pounds, on his back is like an ordinary person carrying a kitten, and it does not affect the speed of movement.

Under Professor X's order, everyone began to act separately according to the original plan.

The eight X-Men present had different abilities, and in a sense, it meant that they all had their own tasks to do.

Storm Girl deliberately chose a good place, she was suspended in the air at a height of two hundred meters, and used the power of the storm to create storm thunder and lightning to slash the giant ape monster, attracting its attention.

The Iceman and the Fire Man hid on the east and west sides respectively, and carried out the means of attacking the giant ape monster with the two heavens of ice and fire, so that it understood what a song of ice and fire was.

Laser Eye has extremely low defense, and belongs to the kind that can kill a person with a single bullet, so he chose to stand far away, take off his quartz eyes, and open his eyes to release a strong laser light, corroding the body of the giant ape monster.

Wolverine has the ability to heal itself, belongs to the type that is not afraid of death, pops out a pair of Edelman alloy claws, and plays melee combat with monsters, but the difference between the two is too big, so even if Wolverine's Edelman alloy is sharp, the damage to the monster is very limited.

As for Professor X's side, Coulix, as a humanoid means of transportation, is responsible for carrying Professor X on his back to approach the giant ape monster, and the phantom cat turns the three people, including himself, into invisible phantoms through physical contact, so that the giant ape monster can't find the three of them, otherwise after the giant ape monster discovers the sneaky three, he will step on it directly, I'm afraid that except for the steel force with a manganese steel body, the other two will be trampled into meat sauce.

Professor X, Coloss, and Phantom Cat, the three of them work well with each other.

Soon, the three of them came to the back of the giant ape monster unconsciously.

With the help of Phantom Cat and Colossus, Professor X stretched out his arm and propped his palm on the heel of the Great Ape Monster, reading the memories in the monster's brain through direct physical contact.

If it were an ordinary person, Professor X could easily read the memories in the other party's brain, but this giant ape monster was 90 meters tall, and the brain was too large, and Professor X had a very hard time reading it, and in the end, he even had a nosebleed, so he could read a small half of the memory information in his brain.

Perhaps because of direct physical contact, the Great Ape Monster discovered the existence of Professor X.

"Oops, found out, let's go!"

Professor X exclaimed.

After hearing Professor X's shout, Coulis hurriedly carried Professor X on his back, and the Phantom Cat dragged the two into the ground.

The three of them ran wildly in the soil, quickly moving hundreds of meters away, and then the Phantom Cat pulled the two back to the ground and rushed to the Kun fighter.

Halfway to the Kun fighter, Professor X summoned several other X-Men and told them to retreat and assemble in the plane.

Moments later, everyone returned to the cabin unharmed.

As soon as he saw Professor X returning, the beast asked with interest, and the blue beast's face was full of curiosity, "Professor, what did you find when you read the memory of that giant ape monster?" ”

In fact, not only the beast, but also the other seven X-Men didn't know what Professor X had just found, because the situation was critical just now, and Professor X didn't have time to narrate.

Now that he was settled, Professor X took a break and began to tell the X-Men the information he had found in the mind of the giant ape monster, "As I suspected, these monsters are not a species on Earth. ”

"Not a species on Earth!?" The beast was startled by the news, and a sense of worry arose in his heart.

If they are not creatures on Earth, but they collectively and consciously destroy Earth civilization, then there is no doubt that one point is stated -

They are creatures from an alien planet, and it is likely that there are highly intelligent aliens behind them who are dominating them, and this is an interstellar invasion event in which an alien civilization is trying to destroy human civilization!!
