Chapter 164: Rescue (3)
"And where are they?"
Hansen, who was in a hurry, asked directly.
Kirk was about to answer, but the watch in his hand flashed red.
Raising his hand, he immediately said to everyone: "Our president has something to say to you." ”
As he spoke, he didn't care if the others agreed or not, and he was directly connected to the display screen in the tent.
The light curtain flashed, and a female face appeared on the screen.
Apricot eyes and red lips, beautiful eyebrows and jade nose, and Daerina have the same pretty and tranquil face, but with a touch of cold and dignity.
"Pu'ersha!"
Seeing the woman in the picture, the others didn't think about it, but Selin and Hansen exclaimed at the same time.
Hansen, in particular, glared at the boss with big brass bell-like eyes, and muttered, "Canberry... Canberry Puersha. ”
Canberry Puersha, the ninth on the list of mutants in the Phoenix base, except for the Red Witch, is the only female mutant in the top ten of all mutants on the list, with a peak combat power of the third level, one of the mutants who are most likely to advance to the fourth level.
In comparison, an existence like Serin, which can only be ranked in the top 100, can only be regarded as a small fish and shrimp.
Faced with the shocked expressions of the two, Pu Ersha was not surprised, and still said indifferently: "That's right, it's me." ”
"Thank you for your helping hand to Canberry, and the company will be rewarded after this incident."
Serin also recovered at this time, and asked, "I don't know if there is anything we can help." ”
"There is indeed a place where your help is needed."
Pu'er Sha said noncommittally: "Come up and talk about it." ”
A moment later, on the 35th floor of the tower on the right side of Canberry, through the glass door, in the middle was a lattice-enclosed office for ordinary employees, but the huge space was empty at this time.
On the left is a mid-level executive's office separated by blurred glass, and on the right is a conference room made of top-quality mahogany.
Led by Kirk, the group entered the conference room directly.
Compared with the outside, the office of more than 100 square meters is crowded at this time, some are observing the projection screen on the screen, and some are directly taking out paper and pen to write and draw on it.
"You're here."
In the conference room, Pu'er Sha, who was standing in front of the table, raised her hand to stop the words of the person next to her, looked at Selin and the others who pushed the door in, and nodded slightly.
Time was pressing, and everyone was not polite, as the captain of the team, Serin also nodded politely, and took the lead in speaking, "Lady Pu'ersha, can you introduce the situation in Canberry now?" ”
"Of course."
Pu Ersha didn't talk nonsense, and directly clicked on the image in the projector, and two pictures appeared on it in an instant.
One of them is a real-time view of the opposite tower, the fire outside is dazzling, and the flames are still burning, even spreading to the upper and lower floors.
On the other side is a three-dimensional diagram of the Canberry building, including the secret passage and secret door, all of which are revealed.
This was originally a top secret of the company, but now that it has undergone great changes, it is not enough to care about it.
I only heard Pu'er Sha explain in a slow voice: "The 27th to 33rd floors of the company have been covered by flames, and several secret passages from the bottom up are also scrapped and unusable. ”
"We..."
"Wait a minute."
Puersha was about to speak, but Lakri couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Haven't you thought about using a fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire or directly using a helicopter to rescue?" ”
On their way up, the rain of fire in the sky also stopped, and with the size of the Canberry Group, it was not difficult to guess how many helicopters were prepared.
Even if this is not the case, such a large company, fire extinguishers are indispensable, and although the flames displayed on the screen are strong now, if the fire is extinguished from the beginning, it should not have developed like this.
"We organized the fire fighting from the beginning."
Pu Ersha glanced at it and said slowly: "It's just that the fire rain in the sky is not an ordinary flame, and it is extremely difficult to be extinguished, even if all the company's reserve fire extinguishers and water sources are used, this can only be done." ”
As for what kind of flame it was, she did not say it explicitly, but the hearts of all the people were like mirrors, and they should have something to do with him.
Ignoring the thoughts in everyone's minds, Pu'er Sha continued: "As for the rescue by helicopter? Do you know how many people the company is besieged on? ”
Pu Ersha asked in a negative voice, and did not wait for everyone to ask, and directly revealed the answer.
"A total of two hundred and thirty-seven people, how many people can the helicopter get?"
"Besides, we don't have time left."
"It has been calculated just now, and in a maximum of an hour, the tower's pillars will collapse because they can't withstand the heat."
"When the time comes..."
Needless to say, Serin could also imagine the scene afterward, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "I don't know what your plans are." ”
Before they came, the other party should have a plan to deal with it, otherwise they wouldn't have gathered here now
"We were going to throw our parachutes on the top floor so that the employees trapped on it could escape."
"But now that you're on board, the plans need to be adjusted."
As she spoke, Pu'er Sha looked at Hansen with a smile on the corner of her mouth, her delicate face like a blooming mandala, and she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the latter.
"So what can we do?"
Selyn then asked.
Since the other party already has a plan, he will no longer make axes in the class, and just leave it to the other party to arrange.
"It's not just people in the tower."
Pu'er Sha said meaningfully: "There is also a xenobiology laboratory above, which stores many precious samples, which will play a vital role in the future development of the company, and I hope you can help me bring them back." ”
Sailin and the others glanced at each other, but they didn't expect the other party to make such a request.
......
On the thirty-sixth floor, everything in the hall has been cleared, and the glass pillars in front of the opposite tower have been removed, revealing a window several meters long and wide, from which a simple bridge made entirely of metal and steel slowly protrudes.
Less than two metres wide on the metal mesh base, and simple handrails less than a metre high made of metal pipes on both sides, the simple bridge that could not have been simpler to bridge the two sides of the Canberry Tower.
"Let's go!"
In the staff office hall, after the steel bridge and the opposite frame were connected, Serin waved his hand, jumped first, and half-bowed to the opposite side, the speed was extremely fast, and after the voice was finished, the whole person had rushed to the middle of the bridge.
A blue shadow flashed in midair, and Janice jumped a few times on the armrests on both sides like a civet cat, and the petite figure followed closely.
She is an agile mutant and is the fastest on the team except for Serin.
Then there were several other second-tier mutants and the armed mutants of Canberry, and Kirk was among them.
"Damn, why can they all pass, but I have to do all this dirty work here."
By the glass window, Hansen looked at the departing team members and said with a dissatisfied expression.
As he spoke, he grabbed the air with both hands, and saw more gray-white mist around him being dragged over and attached to the steel bridge interface in front of him.
"You're not the only one who suffers from this treatment, is it easier for me?"
Directly opposite him, Lachry also opened his hands and slowly lifted it, and the metal steel bridge more than ten meters long was suspended in the air, floating towards the window.
"Your task is no lighter than theirs, and without you, we wouldn't be able to carry out all these plans."
Pu'er Sha sounded after being cold, crossed the crowd, and looked at the opposite tower with an expressionless face, her expression was like a thousand-year-old glacier, unchanged for eternity.
As the president of Canberry, she naturally doesn't have to go into battle herself.
"Haha! I'm just talking. ”
Hansen, who has always been open-mouthed, can only laugh twice at the moment and continue to work honestly.
He is really convinced of the woman in front of him.
The fairness of Phoenix Island is only relative, and those shady deeds are not uncommon.
Compared to the mutants of Xavier Academy, their temperament is more wild and open.
In the same way, doing things is more unscrupulous.
As a woman, or a beautiful woman, she has been able to grow to the point where she is now, and has also established such a large company, which will definitely be harassed, suppressed, and even threatened, and it will not be acceptable.
And what the other party said is right, compared with the rescue on the opposite side in the past, the bridge and reinforce the steel bridge are equally important.
It would have been almost impossible to build a metal bridge in such a short period of time by normal means, and it would have been possible only by Hansen's ability.
His ability is called 'Metal Transformation', which can quickly absorb the surrounding metal ions and transform them into the desired shape, which is a top-level ability that can be attacked and defended.
If it weren't for the scarcity of iron ions in the surrounding air, and the difficulty of extracting and transforming from the solidified metal, I'm afraid he would have become the second Magneto.
On the other side, Serin and the others had also arrived at the opposite tower.
"What's next?"
A black figure walked in slowly, his feet sticking to the ground, but without a sound, Kirk stopped a meter away from Selin's side and asked.
Selin glanced at the other party, didn't care, and said directly: "The flames in the lower layer are about to spread, and there is not much time left for us." ”
"Now the only way to do this is to divide the troops into two ways, let your men move the rest of the people on the floor to the other side, and leave the rest to us."
Needless to say, Kirk knew that time was pressing.
Although they hurried and completed the preparation and arrangement as quickly as possible, it was already half an hour later.
The gray and white fog in front of you is the best proof of this.
So he didn't object, turned around and commanded the armed mutants behind him, and after they dispersed to carry out the mission, he turned to Serin and said, "Just leave the rescue to them, and I'll take care of it with you." ”
Selin glanced at the other party deeply, knowing that the other party came over this time to spy on himself and the others, but he did not object, nodded, and continued to walk forward.
He has a clear conscience.
Others followed.
Through the smoky fog, along the cement and steel corridor, everyone took a few steps to the thirty-seventh floor.
This floor is connected to the three upper floors, with a spacious hall in the middle, leading to all sides, and a metal balcony on the left and right, which circulates upwards.
At this time, the entire hall was already filled with nearly a hundred people, who were lining up in two rows, walking downstairs in an orderly manner, and there were people coming down from the metal stairs next to them.
Although the spread of the flames and the influence of the power of the phoenix on the surrounding electronic signals made it impossible for most of the Phoenix Island to communicate effectively at this time, the steel bridge across the two towers was so conspicuous that anyone who still had the desire to survive would find it and walk down.
Kirk said it so lightly before, and it was obviously expected.
As for those who did not find that help was coming.
Then they have to blame themselves.
Ignoring the others passing by, Serin and the others continued their way up, their destination was the 'Xenomorph Experiment Workshop' on the 50th floor.
In just a few moments, everyone had already reached the forty-eighth floor, and their destination was in sight.
"One level higher."
Seeing that he was about to reach the end of his trip, Kirk couldn't help but smile.
Ascending to more than a dozen floors in one breath, if it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be exhausted and exhaust most of his physical strength at this time, but Selin and the others were as if nothing happened, and they didn't even speed up their breathing by half a minute.
Stompe!
At this moment, four black-clothed men wearing black trench coats and masks walked down from the upper floor with their heads down, and passed by Selin and the others.
The two sides did not communicate much, and this kind of thing has been seen a lot since now, and the staff who were originally hiding in the high-level found the rescue channel underneath, and they all went down.
"Wait!"
Serina, who had been following everyone relatively slowly, suddenly stopped, turned around and called out to the man in black who was passing by his shoulder.
"Who are you?"
With her hands on her waist, Serena stared at the man in black with a cold voice.
In the nearly half hour that Canberry was preparing, she did not do nothing, but learned the basics of the people trapped at the top of the tower.
Among them, the information related to mutants is of special interest.
From the information, she knew that among the trapped mutants, there was only one second-level and the remaining seven first-level mutants, and most of the mutant abilities were related to scientific research, either doctors or professors.
But at this moment, through induction, she found that among the four black-clothed people in front of her, three of them had reached the second level of strength, and the remaining one was even more incomprehensible to her.
But in any case, it is certain that these people have problems.
was identified by Serina, and the four men in black did not flee in a panic, but they did not turn around, as if they had been immobilized, they just stood there fixedly, without saying a word.
Time seemed to stand still in this moment.
Of course, it was just as if, and after Serena stopped the other party, several other people also reacted.
Kirk took a step forward and went over to ask for clarification.
It's just that as soon as he stepped out, Serina's face changed, and she leaned back and retreated sharply.
When she retreated less than two meters, the light in the dim walkway where she was originally standing flickered, and then she saw three high-explosive grenades tumbling out and flying out at a rapid speed.
