Chapter 60: Hunting Mutants
"These bastards, you should be honored to use your power for the evolution of humanity." Colonel Stryker looked at the tortured mutant test subject with a happy smile. Ever since he was killed by his son, hatred had twisted Stryker's mind, and revenge against the mutants had begun.
Colonel Stryker studied under Bolívar Tlaskco, the founder of Tlásco Industries. The two share a lot of similarities, both once had a perfect family, both had a mutant son, both were human supremacists, and both hated mutants very much. The difference between the two is that Bolívar Trusco wants to use machinery to eliminate mutants. The famous Sentinel is a product of Trasco. However, Stryker is different, he prefers mutants to be eliminated with human weapons, and his masterpiece is Wolverine.
However, decades ago, after Bolívar Tlaxco's first Sentinels were easily destroyed by Magneto, Stryker chose to go it alone. Because he saw the fragility of the products of industrial society in the face of electromagnetic mutants, he resolutely chose ergonomics as the research direction for the elimination of mutants.
Since then, the two have been assigned to Yang Biao, and Tlaske ridiculed Stryker's research for only increasing the strength of mutants, and the uncontrollable factors are too strong; Stryker, on the other hand, says that Trusco's Sentinels are as vulnerable as Barbie in front of Magneto.
"How's the hunt going?" Stryker asked the officer next to him.
"All the manpower is ready, and the situation with Professor X is stable, and there is no change."
"Then get ready for action." Stryker gave the order. Magneto's brotherhood was wiped out after the Battle of Liberty Island, and Magneto, who had fought with Professor X, was arrested. Stryker sensed that the hope of victory was in sight. Although Professor X and Magneto are rivals to each other, one is a hawk and the other is a dove. A superhero, a supervillain. But in Stryker's opinion, all of this is just a drill.
To paralyze humanity through a civil war between mutants, their original intention is still to better survive for mutants. In a way, Stryker did have a secret understanding between Professor X and Magneto. However, this is just a tacit understanding between Magneto and Professor A, and neither the Brotherhood nor the X-Men know about it.
The reason Stryker is certain that this is a conspiracy between Magneto and Professor X is because neither the X-Men nor the Brotherhood have died after every battle. Although he will be injured, if you look closely, you will find that Magneto has always been merciful to the X-Men.
Groups of soldiers boarded the starting helicopter, and all kinds of weapons that caused great damage to mutants were held in the hands of the soldiers, and the vicious damage weapons banned by the international community were unscrupulously exposed to the surface. Adhering to the principle that a dead mutant is a good mutant, Colonel Stryker has no taboos.
"Let's go!" With Colonel Stryker's order, helicopters flew straight into Xavier's Youth Academy, and the atmosphere was hit by the helicopter's rotors in bursts of air, mixed with Stryker's happy mood, Xavier Youth Academy was about to face a bloody disaster.
After Magneto's arrest, the brotherhood formed by Magneto's charisma falls apart. The collapse of the Brotherhood means that there is only one organization left in order among the mutants - the X-Men. As long as the X-Men are eliminated, then the mutants will no longer have the ability to resist on a large scale. This is not only something that Stryker dreamed of, but also an idea that existed behind many of the scenes. There won't be any reinforcements from the X-Men this time.
At night, Xavier Youth Academy is silent, a mutant paradise created by the X-Men. Although the students in the academy are strong and weak, there is no doubt that when these students grow up, they will bring new blood and power to the mutants. Not only Professor X, but even Magneto has been silently protecting them. But that's all the end of it now.
Stryker's U.S. soldiers took advantage of the darkness to attack this paradise, smoke grenades, tear gas, flashbangs, and many weapons that can make mutants instantly incapacitate were thrown into the academy, and the students who had no time to react in their sleep were injected with anesthetics by the soldiers who broke into the door and tied up and thrown into sacks.
“GO! GO! GO! The captain of the U.S. squad leading the team gestured and gradually invaded the academy step by step according to the plan. Stryker, on the other hand, went straight to Professor X's residence with a hypnotic potionist secreted by his son's brain.
"Whew!" The huge sense of crisis caused Wolverine to wake up from his dream, and the awake Wolverine happened to see the American soldiers who broke through the door.
"Ahh The Wolverine wolf lunged at the American soldiers who came in, and its sharp wolf claws instantly tore through the throat of the enemy. Looking at Wolverine, who seemed to be intent on choosing someone to devour, the rest of the American soldiers opened fire one after another. The loud sound of gunfire woke up the still sleeping students, and the Burning Man and the Iceman hurried out of the room. Seeing the U.S. soldiers who were full of protection, Iceman Babi was still a little puzzled, and a huge fireball had already been sent out towards the U.S. soldiers.
"Shh The Burning Man glanced at the Iceman defiantly, and then casually sent out a flaming serpent. However, although he was taken aback by the sudden attack of the Burning Man, the soldiers who were able to be selected by Stryker to attack Xavier's Youth Academy were the most elite soldiers, and even if they were burned by the flames, they were not in danger of their lives under the first aid of their teammates. Instead, it was the Burning Man, and the soldiers who had already leaked had already begun to prepare to fire.
"Let's go!" After killing all the soldiers who resisted him, Wolverine stood in front of everyone with firepower. Uncle Wolf, who has experienced the war, knows that the loss of the academy is inevitable, and the only way to retreat is to keep the living forces at this time. With the leakage of the soldiers, the remaining students who were able to move were gradually gathered by Uncle Wolf.
Burning Man, Iceman, Iron Man, Phantom Cat, Auroro, Phoenix Girl, and a few other students and professors struggled to break free from the soldiers' encirclement, and just as they were about to go to find Professor X, the layers of encirclement around Professor X's residence told everyone that it was impossible to rescue the professor.
Immediately decided, Wolverine immediately led everyone to escape from the academy through the back door. Although they want to rescue Professor X, Auroro and Phoenix Girl also know that it is important to run for their lives now. It would be nice if there were only a few people, after all, they were all battle-hardened warriors, and they might be able to rescue Professor X if they fought hard, but these children couldn't. A single stray bullet can kill these children, and these children are their lifeblood. Even if they die, they can't be hurt.
