024 The Verge
The next time is training.
At the beginning, Li Xiang's training for them was mainly to teach martial arts, and to strengthen the skills of hand-to-hand combat. Charles and Eric, on the other hand, are more focused on enhancing their talents or playing with them.
For example, Eric, who could have controlled very limited metals, but after following Charles's advice, his special abilities skyrocketed, and he could control hundreds of thousands of millions of tons of metal; Another example is Sean, who wears a batsuit and can fly with his ultrasonic skills.
In the original plot, Raven has not improved much because she is entangled in the problem of getting closer to ordinary people or maintaining her true colors as a mutant. But now Li Xiang doesn't have those psychological problems, so Charles also gave him a lot of advice. For example, his arms become bat-like wings, which allow him to glide through the air for a short time; Or change something like armor on the surface of the body, although it is not as good as the defense of real armor, but it is also very good. There are also some other small tricks, which are also very practical, which makes Li Xiang admire their imagination very much.
After the dual training of Li Xiang and Charles, everyone's strength has been greatly improved. Just when everyone was gearing up to beat Xiao up, the US president's speech was broadcast on television, saying that the United States had drawn a line off the coast of Cuba, and as long as the Soviet ship transporting nuclear missiles crossed this line, it would be regarded as an attack on the United States and would launch a retaliatory counterattack.
At the same time, the CIA also received news that the whereabouts of the Soviet transport ships and escort fleet were clearly investigated. The question now is when Li Xiang and they should insert it, so that Xiao will not run away when he hears the wind, and he will not let Xiao succeed. In the end, the result of the discussion was that Li Xiang set off first, mixed into the transport ship, and acted with the ship, if Xiao made any moves, he could stop it in time.
If it was the original Raven, Charles would definitely not be at ease to hand over such an important task to her, once an accident happened, not only would the task not be completed, but also put Raven in danger. But now Li Xiang's overall combat effectiveness ranks third in their group, second only to Charles and Eric. If the wheel attacks in close quarters, then he can fight a large group alone, and even Hank, nicknamed the beast, is no match for him. Therefore, everyone was relieved to hand over this task to him.
In addition, Mora also contacted a submarine, and Charles and Salvador were on the escort ship, in case Li could not respond, one of them could attack and reconnoitre, and the other could fly, so that they could support in time. The rest of the people, all in the world's fastest plane, arrived as soon as they were sure that Shaw was there, and Sean found Shaw's submarine, and Eric was responsible for getting it out of the water.
After that, you can only improvise, after all, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to plan everything in advance. However, the main opponent still has to be assigned, such as Xiao, which can only be dealt with by Charles or Li Xiang, if others are encountered, they must not be brutal, even if they want to attack, the main target of attack is Xiao's helmet, so as to facilitate Charles's play.
There is also the Red Devil, in fact, this guy's strength is not very good, as long as he doesn't sneak attack, anyone here can defeat him, the key point is to always keep in contact with his body, so that no matter where he teleports, he can be entangled.
There's also a torrent, this guy's ability is only suitable for group attacks, and if you fight alone, you're a scumbag, and anyone can defeat him only by avoiding his hurricane. Everyone has experience in the last siege of him, and needless to say, they know how to do it.
The last White Queen, when she turned into a diamond body, was cracked by Eric's neck with an iron bar, so she didn't dare to turn into a diamond body now, otherwise her head would fall off. If she doesn't turn into a diamond body, her ability will be greatly reduced, and she is basically disabled, as long as she endures a headache that is not very strong, anyone can kill her in seconds.
Once everything is ready, it's time to act. Li Xiang wants to set off first, and just one night before his departure, Hank finds him and excitedly tells him that the potion extracted from Raven's blood to inhibit mutant genes has succeeded!
Although Hank has been doing well in this small mutant group for a long time, because he has been living in the CIA base, the cynicism of those ordinary agents is still inevitable. So Hank's idea of changing his appearance has always existed, and the research has not stopped. Therefore, after success, the first one ran to Li Xiang, who contributed blood, to report the good news. However, Hank knew that their operation was imminent, so he didn't plan to use the potion now, and this operation also required his mutant abilities.
Li Xiang was a little hesitant, should he tell him that his potion would not only not inhibit mutant genes, but would strengthen them? In the end, I still didn't tell him, so as not to hurt his emotions too much and let him make a mistake because of his distraction in this operation, which would be bad.
Li Xiang set off at night, and together with Charles and Salvador, he first went to the beach to take a speedboat, then transferred to a submarine, and quietly moved to the vicinity of the Soviet transport ship. After that, Li Xiang acted alone, and when most of the crew were asleep, Salvador flew on the transport ship, and after knocking out a crew member on duty, Li Xiang turned into his appearance, and then asked Salvador to bring the crew back to the submarine.
Although the transport ship was military, and the crew on board were all well-trained, Li Xiang and Salvador acted quickly and quietly, and Charles covered them, so the completion was perfect, and no one on board noticed that their crew had been replaced.
Of course, Li Xiang is unfamiliar with the crew. Fortunately, before he came, he simply understood the work of some crew members, and Raven was naturally good at observing, imitating, and improvising, so he was not afraid of being seen as flawed. It's just that when resting, the crew's bedrooms are crowded together, not to mention the smell or anything, Li Xiang can still bear it, the key is that he is now a daughter, even if he becomes a man, he can't accept the disgusting feeling of rubbing with a man. So he simply pretended to be unwell, and when he was not working, he snuggled up in a small bed to rest, and there were fewer people to disturb him.
The next day, it was time for the transport ship to approach the cordon, and the crew on board knew the significance of their trip, so the atmosphere was tense, and they were all in place and ready for any situation. Li Xiang is even more vigilant, because in the original plot, the Red Devil will kill all the people on this ship, and he must be careful and careful.
The U.S. warship could be seen in the distance, and it began to shout over a loudspeaker. On the other side is the Soviet fleet, both sides are loaded with shells and ready to fire, and with just one spark, a big war will break out on both sides. And this Mars is the transport ship sandwiched in the middle. Whether it's a war or a battle, it all depends on his actions. The captain of the transport ship was also covered in a cold sweat, and like everyone else, he stared at the radio transceiver, expecting to be given the order to turn around. Without an order, they couldn't turn around, even if they knew that if they were going to die.
At this moment, a red light flashed, and there was an extra person behind the receiver, who was the red devil that Li Xiang had been waiting for for a long time. It's just that this guy's movements are too fast, even if Li Xiang has been on guard, he still hasn't had time to make a move, and the receiver was cut off by him!
Seeing this, Li Xiang was furious and immediately shouted, "Everyone be careful! Back to back! ”
He doesn't speak Russian very well, he can't say it without saying it for the past two days, and now he doesn't care about being heard by people in his wrong voice, so he shouts a warning. But because of his incorrect accent, many people did not react immediately, and the Red Devil flickered, and more than a dozen people were killed.
Li Xiang had to admire the Red Devil, his teleportation skills were played by him to the realm of supernatural beings, there were only two actions of sending out the knife and closing the knife, and with his teleportation, he could actually kill more than ten people in seconds, so that Li Xiang couldn't rescue him.
After so many people were killed, the remaining five or six people finally reacted and gathered together. Seeing Li Xiang getting in the way, the Red Devil flashed with a fierce light in his eyes, and a teleportation came behind him, wanting to kill him first. But how could Li Xiang be so easy to kill? The body-side dodged the knife, followed by a grappling hand, and at the same time opened his mouth and roared, using "Lion's Roar".
But the Red Devil is worthy of being the king of speed, and his reaction is extremely fast, and when Li Xiang dodges his knife, he knows that it is not good, and immediately launches a teleportation. But he was still swept by the sound wave of Li Xiang's "Lion's Roar", and when he reappeared in another position, he stumbled a little, but he also escaped Li Xiang's grappling.
Li Xiang didn't expect his reaction to be so fast, and after a trick failed, he had to turn back to find out where the red devil was, and then release "Wuxiang Robbery Finger" after he found out, but the red devil actually teleported again, making Li Xiang miss again. And this time the Red Devil didn't appear in the cabin again, and I don't know where the teleportation went. This made Li Xiang blind, compared to speed, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't teleport!
This fight can be described as a flash of lightning, and before the crew members who gathered together have all gathered together, the Red Devil has already disappeared. Looking at the corpses of their companions lying on the ground, the rest of them were all terrified and huddled into a heap with trepidation, lest the Red Devil appear behind them.
It's just that they are piled up together, and Li Xiang is the only one standing outside the pile, and he has fought a few tricks with the devil just now, so he can't make people not pay attention to him, so the captain saw that the red devil didn't appear for a while, so he stared at Li Xiang and asked, "Andre, what's going on?" ”
