Chapter 171: Magneto's Proclamation and the Government's Counterattack
On the shores of Lake Yakali, the intrusion of planes escalated the situation even more.
But even then, no one else knows, and the American people are concerned about the big events of the day.
The same terrorist who not so long ago threw the whole United States into chaos has reappeared.
All the channels of the TV turned into snowflakes in an instant, and after that, a picture that resembled a live broadcast appeared.
As you can see from the picture, the setting here is a church. solemn and heavy, but it is very suitable for the appearance of Magneto,
"Humans! Your actions have touched the bottom line of our mutant race, and the mutant antidote you have developed can cut us out, but not our spirit! ”
On the TV, Magneto wore a helmet that blocked telepathic abilities, and said in a loud voice with a serious and indifferent face.
"Our race will never succumb to your force! Today, I warn you that if you don't respond, this is what will happen to you! ”
As soon as the cold, chilly voice fell, the camera shifted in the other direction.
I saw the picture shift, and what entered the shot was a cross, very large, two meters high, hanging in mid-air. Of course, there is nothing special about this, the special thing is that the person nailed to that huge cross is not the Son Jesus, but a real person.
The man seemed to be lifeless, dressed in a suit, but not very neat, but stained with a lot of filth, as if he had rolled on the ground several times, his gray hair was slightly disheveled, and his head hung down, even though the man was very strong. But it looks very old.
Next to the cross, a woman with blue skin and short red hair was hanging on the wall, feeling the camera turn, tilting her head, smiling lightly, and then turning her head to look at the person nailed to the cross next to her. Raising his hand, he lifted the man's chin, and a familiar face appeared in front of all the audience.
It's really the boss of Washington Industries, who only appeared on television the day before yesterday -- Warren. Washington.
Warren with his jaw picked up. Washington's face was blue, his eyes were straight, and there was not a trace of anger, and if you looked closely, you would find that his eyes were cloudy and white, and he looked dead.
"Human! Don't think we're going to give in! We've started a counterattack! ”
Turning back to the camera again, Magneto shook his head. Said with a cold gaze.
The voice was soft, and the corners of his mouth showed a mocking smile, as if to stimulate some people.
And the truth is that some people are stimulated, but the people who are stimulated are not those big men.
White House.
"This bastard!"
In the president's office, a blue-haired beast couldn't help but curse after watching the picture on the TV disappear again.
Although he is now a member of the government, he is always a dove of Professor X. Therefore, he maintains the same attitude as Professor X on the question of how to get mutants to join human society. And he did make a difference. As the head of the Ministry of Mutant Affairs, what he does is indeed for the benefit of mutants, but there are also sacrifices in it. But even so, there are still people who come out to wreak havoc, and Magneto's actions are enough to deepen humanity's impression of mutants again, of course. It's the bad side.
On the other side of the blue-haired beast, Mr. President smiled lightly.
Warren. Washington tricked him, but then he was killed by Magneto, and he was really relieved. He is the president, but he is also an ordinary person. He doesn't really care about whether mutants can be accepted into society. After all, the number of mutants is really insignificant in the proportion of all humans, and even with these people, his presidency is still determined by a larger number of ordinary people, so what he really cares about is his political achievements.
Just as ordinary people are jealous of those who are gifted, so ordinary people are also jealous of these naturally extraordinary mutants. But the difference is that those geniuses are not common, and mutants are right next to them, maybe a neighbor who has been with ordinary people for many years is a mutant, but he didn't find out.
And this creates a contradiction.
The jealousy of ordinary people towards mutants is not sudden, but they only see those abilities that destroy the world, but they do not see those low-level mutants who are difficult to survive with ordinary people because of their abilities. Of course, it has to be said that the evil things done by those mutants who have been excluded by humans and become unscrupulous have brought great harm to society, which is also one of the reasons why human beings are hostile to mutants.
It's just that as the president, he doesn't care about it, even if something happens, as long as he makes an attitude, he can get supporters. Just like the congressman who advocated for the Avengers to be held accountable for what happened in Manhattan after the New York Defense War, he just made this statement, and he was supported by some people, and of course, the Avengers did not respond to it at all.
And Mr. President's statement is the mutant antidote, but it was previously replaced by Warren. Washington is in the dark, so it's now, but by this time, everything is back on track.
"Hank! Don't worry, although Magneto has sabotaged the antidote, we have already made preparations, only this time, it will not be like Warren. Washington is so soft" The president looked at the beast, whispered a word of persuasion, and then said coldly that this determines the strategy of how to deal with mutants.
"You're ......!" Hank. McCoy was stunned for a moment, then immediately opened his mouth to say something, and a sense of foreboding had already haunted him.
"Needless to say!" The president's smiling face immediately fell, and he raised his hand to signal the beast to stop.
Slowly standing up, the president stopped looking at Hank. McCoy glanced at him, turned and walked towards the other door, and said without looking back, "We've already decided this matter through the meeting, so it's useless to say anything." Go back, Hank. ”
"Go back?! Ha! When the blue-haired beast heard the president's words, he laughed at himself, looked at the president, and said, "It's time to go back, go back to where I should go." ”
After that, Hank. McCoy turned around and walked straight away.
"Hank!" The president heard Hank. McCoy's words, immediately turned around and shouted. Hank. McCoy is a very capable man, and although he is a mutant, he has gradually been accepted by the upper echelons of government over the years. So the president tried to keep him.
But Hank. McCoy seemed to have made up his mind to leave, and the president's retention did not help, and he continued to walk out.
"Alas~" The president sighed and lowered his outstretched hand. Hank. McCoy will not have a chance to come back again if he leaves today, he thought silently.
Although at the beginning Warren. Washington has destroyed all the experimental data by the time the antidote is complete, but the government has regained the production method of the antidote through some channels, which is ridiculous Warren. Washington also thought he had cut off the government's chances of creating an antidote.
Only this time, the distribution of the antidote will not be like the previous Warren. Washington was so relieved that the people who handed out the antidote this time would be well-trained soldiers, and it would not be a question of whether they would voluntarily accept the antidote, but whether they would resist.
Only once, the mutants are facing the danger of extinction of the Wang Clan.
……
On the shores of Yakali Lake.
The plane had slowly landed.
Before the spiral staircase of the plane had completely fallen, a voice had already broken through the plane, and then, a figure came out of the plane.
"Piano !!!!"
A loud shout, although the voice is not very beautiful, but the emotion in it is very obvious.
The surprise and confusion in the end turned into longing, and this emotion was exceptionally clear and recognizable around Harry and Dark Phoenix, two telepathic beings.
"It's coming for you" Harry has regained his composure, at least on his surface. Hearing this, he lowered his head and said to the red-haired woman leaning in his arms.
"Huh"
Violin. Gray followed Harry's meaning and looked at the man who was rushing towards here and the black woman with short white hair on the plane, these two were naturally Wolverine Logan and Storm Girl Auroro, who were sent by Professor X. Gray can be regarded as a comrade-in-arms, a friend, a crush and a bright love. Harry looked at Jean. Gray's expression tried to see something from her face that she wanted to see, but Harry felt very sorry that Jean. Gray didn't show any hesitation or confusion, and she even giggled.
"What's wrong? Are you jealous? The black phoenix didn't care at all about the two friends who ran over, but looked at Harry with a smile, highlighted a mouthful of aroma on Harry's face, and said softly.
Harry tilted his head to avoid the breath exhaled by the black phoenix, and the warm gas on his neck couldn't help but itch.
"Don't you have a little reaction?" Harry frowned and looked at Wolverine running over and said.
The Dark Phoenix didn't answer, and Harry only felt a force on his arm, and as if he had triggered an alarm, he immediately became alert, but the force was not heavy.
Turning his head suspiciously, he looked at the stressed arm, uh-
"Osborne?" Wolverine Logan had already run in front of Harry, looked at Harry's back, and shouted in a speculative tone.
"Ah~" Harry shouted helplessly, turned around slowly, looked at Logan with a forced smile, and said in a hesitant tone: "If I say it's not what you think, do you believe it?" ”
At this time, Harry was bare and bent his arms to stop the 'unconscious'? The piano. Gray and Jean. Gray's upper clothes seem to have been ripped open, revealing them, uh...... (To be continued......)
