07 Project Sentinel
Logan fell asleep quietly in the back of his chair.
Bingbing pillowed Bai Xiaotian's shoulders and fell asleep quietly with a smiling face like a child, only Bai Xiaotian smiled and watched Eric walk towards Charles, who was drinking, with a set of chess.
"A plate? It's been a long time. Eric placed the chessboard in front of Charles.
"No, I'm not in the mood to play chess, thank you." Charles still remembers Eric's anger not long ago, and he felt bad in his heart.
"It's been a long time since I've been drinking." Eric poured himself a glass of wine and slowly sat down on the arm of the chair next to him and took a sip, he knew that Charles was obsessed with the killing, "I didn't kill the president, and I won't kill the president." ”
"Can't you explain the bullets that can turn?" Charles looked at Bai Xiaotian, and he was the one who could transform the bullet.
"I let the bullet turn to save him, and while I was saving him, I was put down." Eric felt aggrieved and was put down when he succeeded, and success turned into failure.
"Why did you save him?" Charles didn't think he would save a normal person.
"Because he's also a mutant." Eric looked at him earnestly.
Eyes don't lie, Charles looks at Eric, the president is a mutant......
Bai Xiaotian smiled, wouldn't he be another mutant with telepathic ability, president, that is the person who can become president only by election.
"Do you still think I'm stupid?" Charles, believing that the president was a mutant, shook his head and looked at Eric, "You often say they're going to deal with mutants......"
"yes. I've always thought that they couldn't accept us mutants, and it's normal to deal with us, but what I'm okay with is that since they use Raven's DNA to make weapons against us...... "Eric felt helpless, he didn't expect that the sentinel who would make mutants lose the ability to resist in the future would be derived from Raven.
"When was the last time you saw her?"
"The day I left Dallas." Eric sat down across from Charles.
"What has become of her?" Charles can't forget Jì Raven, the mutant he first came into contact with and grew up with, and he has unspeakable feelings for Raven.
"Strong...... Work...... Loyal ......"
She ...... What about her life? ”
"She's ......," Eric didn't know what to say, "I can see why she's doing this." "Raven assassinated Trask, and based on what he knew about Raven, he seemed to understand." Charles. You should be proud of her, she left to fight for our cause......"
"That's your business." Charles stressed that he understood Eric's goals and ideals, but that was not what he wanted. "The Raven I raised doesn't kill people......"
"You're not raising her. You just grew up with her. And the reason why she left is because she can't be a little girl forever......"
"She left because of your influence!" Charles was furious that his beloved had been taken away.
"No, Charles, Eric doesn't have your abilities. Charles, don't you be fooled by your anger, don't you think you've been living with Raven all along, don't you think Raven feels like a caged bird? Bai Xiaotian looked at Bingbing, who was asleep in his arms, and spoke in a voice that they could hear clearly but would not wake Bingbing, "You can restrain a person, but you can't give a heart, Raven is her own determination, and the bird is destined to fly." Bai Xiaotian thought of Ruiwen's final ending and was a little entangled, maybe a normal life is indeed suitable for her.
"Now we know what the consequences of her decision will be, right?" Charles also didn't expect that the cause in the future would be Raven, "She's going to kill Trask, she's going to be captured, if we don't stop her in advance......"
"If we don't change history tomorrow, we will end up being slaughtered." Eric didn't dare to imagine that the future would be like this, and he also felt that Charles's ideals were so empty, remembering that now Charles was incapacitated...... "I'm sorry, Charles. He didn't know that Charles's ability would come back, "I'm sorry for what I did." ”
Charles also let go of his resentment towards Eric, and the cause of the future was certainly because of Raven, but he also knew that this was one of the reasons for him and Eric, "I haven't played chess for a long time." ”
Eric knew that Charles was changing the subject, and looked back at Bai Xiaotian, who had closed his eyes, and smiled, "I'll let you." ”
Charles looked up at Eric.
"It might be fair." Eric and Charles seem to be back to their friends days.
"You'd better go first." Charles smiled.
Eric looked at Charles, and the pieces on the board took a step without manual use......
☆★☆
Today is a historic day, when diplomats from all over the world will gather at the Royal Hotel in Paris, the United States will officially announce the end of its participation in the Vietnam War, and diplomats from all countries will receive invitations from Trast.
"Good afternoon, everybody." Trask walked into the conference room and greeted the diplomats of the countries he had invited, "Thank you for coming, first of all, congratulations on winning this war, I know that you are pressed for time, and you have to go down and go through the motions, so here I will make a long story short, don't think that if you win this war, we will have no enemies, we have new enemies, they can make all our weapons useless, they can paralyze our army, they can make our national defense collapse, In the face of such a new war, we need new weapons, which I call 'Sentinels'. ”
William had turned on his laptop and turned the screen towards everyone so that everyone could see the sentry's information.
"The word 'Sentinel' comes from the guards standing outside the ancient fortress, a force of guard, they have the aviation capabilities of a Harrier aircraft, and they are also equipped with machine guns with up to 2,000 rounds per second, they are all using thermoceramic ammunition, in addition to their size, strength, and speed. Except for Lockheed Martin and Boeing, the other performance is extraordinary, the most special thing about the Sentinel is that it is developed for mutants, they can lock the mutant's X gene within half a mile (0.5 miles = 804.67199877 meters) as a recognition judgment, they will never fire until the target is determined to be a mutant, with this weapon, humans will no longer be harmed by mutants, normally speaking, I turn on the Sentinel system here, it will not start. "But it turns out that Trask turned on the sentry system switch. The sentry system immediately sounded an alarm.
Everyone stopped talking. Look at Trask, who is holding the alarm sentry system.
"Unless ......" Trask is very confident so he trusts his machine very much, the sentinel system that recognizes mutants sounds an alarm, and it is obvious: "There are mutants here." "The sentinel system in the hand points at the people sitting there, one by one. The closer you get to the mutants. The more the sentry system warning light is on. When it pointed to Raven, who was disguised as a Vietnamese diplomat, not only did the warning lights turn on, but the indirect siren also turned into a long beep.
Raven's disguise is revealed. The main thing is that the guards are Trask's subordinates, and the inescapable Raven really showed his true body, Raven is not only the ability to transform, but also from the grid, and the guards in close proximity were all knocked down in a few clicks, and there was the only William with a gun, and she also walked under the table to avoid William's sight and knocked him down, and when she saw the gun fall on the table, she immediately turned over on the table and picked up the gun and pointed it at Trasco, just as she was about to shoot......
"Raven!" Charles rushed into the conference room.
Raven was stunned, before Raven disappeared in front of her eyes and slid off the table without reacting, William reacted at this time, William directly shot an electric shock device at her and electrocuted her on the table.
Eric who walked in saw the electric shock device directly on Raven's body and reflected it on William's neck, which directly made him fall to the ground and pump.
Trask was shocked not only by the people who appeared in front of him, but by the sirens that kept blaring as they appeared.
"Charles?" Raven didn't understand how Charles could be here.
"Eric and I came to you together." Charles leaned over to Raven and touched her forehead, caring for Raven like a sister.
Bai Xiaotian ignored the conversation between Charles and Raven, but began to pay attention to Logan as soon as he came in, and when Logan looked at William who was twitching on the ground, he retreated uncomfortably against the wall.
The pumping William reminded the future Logan consciousness of his own transformation, he overlapped the William on the ground with the William who transformed himself, these memories were all lost after his head was hit by an Edelman bullet, and now he suddenly remembered that this caused the instability of consciousness transmission, which would be very uncomfortable, and consciousness came from the brain......
"Laughing sky." Bingbing saw Bai Xiaotian looking at the uncomfortable Logan, and pulled Bai Xiaotian to look at Eric.
Bai Xiaotian was reminded by Bingbing to look at Eric, and he found that Eric had already sucked the gun into his hand and pointed it at Raven.
"Eric?" Raven looked at Eric with a gun pointed at her in confusion.
"Eric? What are you trying to do? Charles looked back and saw Eric pointing a gun at Raven, and the bad premonition made him panic.
"I'm going to protect our future, forgive me, Shapeshift." Eric's idea is completely different from Charles's, in order to eliminate the danger of the future, then remove the cause of danger now, "As long as there is your day, our future will always be in danger." ”
"Is that why you want to kill us together?" Bai Xiaotian looked at Eric and smiled.
"Charles used your power to control him." Raven doesn't know why, but Eric's sense of danger is obvious.
"He's not going to stop it." Eric laughed, "won't" and "can't" were two different concepts entirely, and now Raven didn't know that Charles had lost his abilities.
Raven didn't want to turn around and run, Bai Xiaotian immediately launched his telekinesis to crash into Eric's pistol, the pistol was fixed by Bai Xiaotian, Eric was not slow to react, and directly used his ability to let it shoot, Bai Xiaotian followed closely and sent his telekinesis to lock the bullet in the air, Eric frowned, decisively gave up the control of the bullet and chased after Raven who had just smashed the window, and when he passed by the sentry to show the computer, he didn't forget to reach out to the sentinel information and suck it into his hand and take it away.
"Bastard." Bai Xiaotian decisively gave up the telekinesis control of the pistol and bullets to let them fall freely, and he also rushed to the window, in fact, he could use his telekinesis to stop Eric from rushing out of the window after Raven, but he still chose to leave this conference room, if memory serves, Logan will have a period of time to regain his current consciousness...... (To be continued......)
