Chapter 16: Magneto appears
"Boom" Suddenly, a loud bang came from the base, followed by a piercing siren, along with the yellow and red indicator lights.
"Security Protocol 9-616 activated, all researchers retreat in the first sequence, combatants please assemble at the upper fortress."
In an office deep in the base, Nick Fury, frowning at the flashing alarm lights in the office, the screeching sound made him a little irritated, and then picked up the phone.
"Coulson!!" Fury calls Coulson, who is the head of security on the base's surface.
"Director, we've been attacked, and Magneto has attacked us with several variants." On the other end of Coulson's phone, there were bursts of roaring from time to time.
When Fury heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper, since they didn't have much direct conflict between S.H.I.E.L.D. and mutants, and Aegis hadn't done any experiments with mutants.
It stands to reason that if Magneto wants to cause sabotage, he should take revenge on the military, after all, the military has done a lot of research on mutants in the past two years.
"Depending on the circumstances, I will allow you to surrender. Coulson, don't make unnecessary sacrifices. "Most of the people in this base have just graduated from S.H.I.E.L.D., and blood is inevitable, and Fury doesn't want to let these newcomers sacrifice because of a situation that is still uncertain.
"Understood, sir!!" After saying that, Coulson hung up the phone, and Fury probably knew that the situation over there seemed to be serious.
Slowly walking out of his office, Fury looked at Dr. Oberline standing outside the door.
"Doctor, according to security protocols, you should now head to the retreat route. How about that kid? "Fury doesn't have much time for this, what is this doctor who is always grinding and chirping after taking the exam.
Dr. Oberline, with a somewhat bad face, seemed to be frightened by the situation at the base, after all, he was only a scientist, not a warrior.
"Director, I think those mutants above are probably here for this kid." Dr. Oberline said with some confusion.
There are enough things for today, not to mention that child's situation can't be solved at all, and now a group of mutants suddenly appear to attack the base, he feels that he has worked in S.H.I.E.L.D. for more than twenty years, and this is the first time that so many things have been rushed together.
"Doctor, how do you know it's a mutant up there?" Fury didn't believe that the guy in front of him could be a spy planted by mutants in Aegis.
Well, the reason is naturally very simple, with the approach of Magneto's mutant supremacy guy, ordinary people? This kind of work is certainly not possible for an ordinary person to do.
"Director, this base is S.H.I.E.L.D., the most advanced genetic research base, and the X gene will not be so easy to hide in this base." Dr. Oberline said confidently that S.H.I.E.L.D. has many bases, and most of the bases in the United States are research bases, and the research aspects of these bases are different, such as the base where they are now is a base specializing in genetic science.
Later, the base for the study of the Cosmic Cube was the dark energy research base.
"Well, Doctor, can you tell me why you think these variants are because of that child?" Fury tugged at Oberline's arm, thinking about the direction of the retreat, asking as he went.
"Although the X gene was not found in that child, according to the reality of the instrument, that child contains quite high dark energy, and his brainwave frequency has reached more than 7,000 times that of ordinary people before, I think it is possible that this child's brainwave caused the resonance of those mutants, so there will be mutants to attack this base." Dr. Oberline, as soon as he threw his arm out of Fury's hand, didn't want to be misunderstood, his orientation.
Fury didn't answer, his brow furrowed, he had a lot of Stark's information here, at least he could be sure that Stark was not a mutant.
But Debbie's information is only about the orphanage, and there is no information about his mother, which is also the thing that Fury is most troubled with.
"Doctor, are you sure he's not a mutant?" While the two were talking, they came to the elevator door to the retreat passage, Fury was not ready to retreat, he was only here to send Oberline away.
"I'm 100% sure that the necessary condition for a mutant is to have X genes, and that kid doesn't, although I don't understand why he has dark energy in his body, but I think the dark energy in his body is different from those in the United Dark Energy Research Institute." Oberline said hesitantly after being pushed onto the elevator by Fury.
After seeing Oberline off, Fury took the elevator that led to the upper defense area.
Elevator River's expression was a little heavy, if Debbie wasn't a mutant, what would it be?
"Aliens? It shouldn't be possible, at least that playboy won't sleep with an alien, could it be that he was transformed in infancy? Eh......" Fury, who had guessed left and right to no avail, finally sighed, he really couldn't figure out what kind of existence Debbie was.
If it's a mutant, he doesn't have X genes, if it's an alien, his genes are completely different from humans, and a child who is only six years old is obviously unlikely to have the accident of a large scientific experiment.
When Fury came to the upper defense area, he saw the whole mess, and the defensive bunkers that were originally units had been turned into a pile of ruins.
The battle seemed to be over, but Fury didn't see any corpses or living people, which made Fury's brow furrow even tighter.
"Hello. Director Fury. While Fury was still searching around, Magneto's voice suddenly rang out.
Fury looked up at the voice, and Magneto, dressed in a comprehensive tight-fitting combat suit, raised his hands high, dragging the roof of the upper defense area.
"I said, how do you feel that the sun is particularly strong today, Eric, tell me, what the hell is going on, I don't think there seems to be any excessive conflict between us, right?" Fury found a fairly stable piece of concrete debris from his side, sat on it, and looked at Magneto with a relaxed expression.
"Definitely. Mr. Director, although it is true that we did not have any conflicts before, I have sensed something strange this afternoon, and you seem to be working on something that does not belong to you? Or people? Magneto landed slowly, and with a bang, the huge reinforced concrete block that was originally the roof of the defense zone was thrown aside by Magneto at once.
In fact, for Magneto, S.H.I.E.L.D. can only be regarded as a joke, at least they don't have any actual combat power, for the time being, because now S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't have Hulk, no Iron Man, and even Captain America is still asleep in the ice.
Seeing Magneto slowly walk to his side, Fury patted the wreckage under his ass and squeezed his eyes at Magneto, this will make Fury dare not stimulate this powerful mutant, after all, S.H.I.E.L.D. can be regarded as an organization that can deal with conventional forces for the time being, at least for the time being, the mutant brotherhood is much stronger than the high-end combat power of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"I see. You did come for that kid. Unfortunately, he's not a mutant. Fury saw that Magneto was casually beside him, and said helplessly.
Although Every's always tough personality rarely compromised, he was not the kind of hot-blooded young man who had just graduated from school.
He participated in World War II and understood the darkness of the world, and without strength, he should not be in front of the strong.
"Huh?" Magneto glanced at the roof not far away, there were still a lot of prisoners on it, he didn't come alone today, and several mutants were now watching those S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel, he didn't realize that the hostages in his hands couldn't stand up to a mutant in the eyes of this S.H.I.E.L.D. director.
"Don't do that, Eric, I can take you to see the kid, but my people, you have to keep them safe." Fury also knows that Magneto is not a good-natured person, but it is not so easy to convince himself.
"I agree, but I'm curious, where did you know that the kid you spoke of isn't a mutant?" Magneto nodded, he was sure that when he received that strange brain wave this afternoon, it felt like Charles had invaded his brain, but he was wearing a helmet at that time, and even Charles could not have invaded his brain in that situation.
Although the information transmitted by that brain wave was a little vague, he was Magneto after all, and he had learned something about telepathy after so many years of fighting with Professor X.
"He doesn't have an X gene, and I'm sure you know better than I do, the traits of you mutants." Fury pouted, then got up and motioned for Magneto to follow him and walk towards the elevator.
Although the previous battle seemed to be fierce, the location of the elevator leading to the underground area was still very hidden and unaffected by the battle.
Magneto followed Fury into the elevator, without saying a word all the way, and he was also thinking about Fury's words.
If there is a mutant who does not have the X gene, Magneto himself does not know if he can admit that existence is a mutant or not.
He knows very well that mutants rely on the X gene to mutate and produce abnormal abilities, and if there is no X gene, are mutants still the same as their own thoughts, the creator of a new era?
After a while, the two of them took the elevator to the lowest level of the base, and Fury took Magneto to Debbie's isolation room, by which time most of the researchers had retreated due to the previous alarm.
There are only a few guys left who were arranged by Oberline to continue to observe, these scientists are still here to watch Debbie's situation, seeing Fury coming, they all greeted Fury, as for Magneto, these scientists don't know who he is, and it's normal to selectively ignore him.
