Chapter 52: Wheelchairs
The Black Queen froze in place, her demon-like treacherous face blank.
Leon climbed down from the palm of his stone palm and gently stroked Selena's scorched hair like a cat.
Sebastian is a hero.
He has ambition, and he has the personal ability to match his ambition.
Insidious and cunning is his calling card, and ruthlessness and determination are his motto. In order to reach the pinnacle of power, he can abandon the so-called morality, conscience and discipline at will.
So when Leon's shoes appeared in his sight, Sebastian, who had been drained of most of his life energy by the Black Queen, raised his head with difficulty, agitated the tip of his dry and scorched tongue, and said bitterly: "Don't kill me, I, surrender...."
"Why am I killing you?"
Li Ang dusted off the cloth on his white coat that was burned by the beam, and said with a smile: "Although you broke into my city and made a lot of nonsense in my office, after the negotiations broke down, you even thought about brainwashing me.
But, I'm a pacifist. So you don't die. โ
At this time, the security personnel of the institute finally arrived.
Unlike elsewhere, these guards are clad in heavy armor, the metal surface of which glows a slightly golden-green sheen in the light.
Layers of armor are held together by pitch-black, high-strength composite fibers that cover the chest and limbs, with an additional metal layer at the weak joints.
What's even more bizarre is that these security guards are wearing full-coverage helmets, and the expressions of the people inside can't be seen clearly from the brown window.
Sebastian watched as these "security personnel" who were all more than two meters tall rushed into the house, they were half-bowed, holding all kinds of firearms, the cold muzzles pointed diagonally at the ground, and the overall movement was clean and meticulous.
The metal soles of the security personnel's shoes trampled on the rubble office floor, and the massive weight of the armor crushed the fine gravel, raising doubts that the crumbling office could handle their weight.
Leon casually ordered, "Take them all and take them to the laboratory below." โ
The security personnel nodded silently, easily removing the heavy stone and digging out the Hellfire Club executives from the rubble.
These "elites" who are still invincible are like dead dogs at this moment, being roughly dragged forward.
Sebastian's shoulder was lifted, and the muzzle of the steel gun was pressed against the back of his head, like a livestock, and in the most brutal way, the black king tasted the fruit of "humiliation".
"Fortunately, my life was saved."
Sebastian hung his head, not daring to let others see the resentful expression on his face, and said to himself in the depths of his heart: "As long as you live, there is hope." โ
He's not the kind of person who can easily throw in the towel.
Security guards escorted the prisoners, leading them through corridors and long winding corridors to the elevator where the goods were being transported.
A group of people poured in, countless guns pointed at these club leaders, and at the slightest movement, a chain of bullets poured out, tearing them to shreds.
Sebastian felt the almost dry power in his body, looked at the so-called "security guards" who were strong and fierce, and pressed his mind to resist.
The school city is far from being as simple as those intelligence brokers say, and that Mr. Leon is not "probably a faint supernatural power" as the intelligence says.
"Those damn brokers...."
Sebastian had already greeted the ancestors of the intelligence traffickers several times in his heart, and selectively forgot that he proposed to lead the team into the school city to investigate.
He leaned against the wall of the elevator hall with difficulty, and out of the corner of his eye, he scanned the so-called "security personnel" in the narrow space
It's so strange that these security guards haven't said a word since the very beginning, and they all use tactical gestures to talk to each other,
And they all stand in the same position, even the distance between their feet matches exactly as if they had been measured with a ruler.
Out of the corner of his eye, Sebastian examined the armor on the security guard's bodyโhe had never seen anything like it.
It is neither like the human exoskeleton armor produced by Osco, nor like the steel armor sold by Tony Stark to the U.S. Department of Defense by the Flowey Company, but more like ..... Tin cans?
As Sebastian pondered the source of the armor, the elevator stalled.
The third basement floor has arrived.
The doors of the elevator hall automatically retract to the sides, and Sebastian sees a spectacular sight.
Countless glass columns are neatly arranged to form a phalanx, supporting the spacious underground space like beams and columns.
Within each column, there is a body floating, and Sebastian, who is familiar with the federal government's list of superpowered criminals, can even say their names very smoothly.
Electric light man, sand man, bullseye...
Hundreds of researchers in white lab coats walked through it, examining the reports in their handsโand Sebastian occasionally found a few acquaintances among them.
Hank, a mutant with blue hair, Kurt Connors, a lizard professor who once made a big fuss in New York, and Professor Charles, a bald old man in a wheelchair who stands out.
The Hellfire Club, the Brotherhood, and the X-Men are the three major forces of the mutant race, and Sebastian, as the leader of the Hellfire, has dealt with Professor Charles a few times - although the process is not pretty.
"Xiao, it's been a long time."
Professor Charles looked at Sebastian who was dragged out of the elevator by the security guards, smiled and drove the wheelchair, and slid over, "I didn't expect to see you here." โ
Sebastian pursed his lips and said nothing, all the while trying his best to resist Professor Charles' psychic abilities that could come at any moment.
Professor Charles looked at Sebastian with a constipated face, smiled, and got up from his wheelchair.
Yes, Professor Charles, who has always been a person with a disability, stands up with great dexterity, kicks his legs, and moves his muscles and bones, not at all like a disabled person.
Sebasti was stunned in peace, and then reacted very quickly, and said indifferently: "Your cripple was cured by an artificial organ? โ
"That's right."
Professor Charles waved his hand at the security guards and motioned for Sebastian to let go, smiling gently, "Most of the body parts have been replaced, from the spine to the legs. I don't really care about it personally, but it does improve my productivity. โ
Sebastian shook his head and sneered, "Then what are you still doing in a wheelchair, pretending to be pitiful?" โ
"I've gotten used to the feeling of sitting on it, so I haven't lost it, acting as a means of transportation." "And, my gubernatorial campaign told me that if I kept being in a wheelchair in public, I would have a big advantage in the campaign," Professor Charles said softly. โ
Sebastian grinned, and was about to say something sarcastic, but his toes went limp, and he fell forward.
Professor Charles quickly straightened him, pulled the wheelchair over, and forcefully shoved Sebastian in, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile by the way, "Xiao, since you're here, as the coordinator of the school city, I have the responsibility to take you around the experimental projects here." โ
Sebastian was brutally pressed into a wheelchair by this bald old man, and his crippled body like a broken doll could not be used at all, so he could only be pushed into the wheelchair and move forward.
