West Chester, New York.

Professor X Charles Xavier smiles at Magneto Eric Lanshel, who is mindfully teaching a group of young mutants to fight in a virtual reality simulation of powerful enemies and chaotic scenes. He rejoiced in the tranquility and comfort of the present moment, and if it was possible, he would be willing to exchange all that he had for the eternity of the moment.

Although the external environment has become infinitely worse due to the drastic changes, which has made Professor X and the X-Men he has formed worry and unhappy, seeing the liveliness and hard work of these little ones in front of them can always give the tired people the strength to continue to persevere.

In particular, the cooperation of old friend Magneto is not as extreme and arrogant as before, which is even more gratifying. Professor X believes that as long as the majority of mutants are united, the situation of mutants will undoubtedly be better off in the future.

Although Magneto's abilities are still not fully recovered, and new leech potions are regularly implanted to suppress abilities, as the top group of mutants, even if he has no strength, his combat experience and vision are a valuable treasure for these young mutants.

The Wolverine Logan, who returned home, can naturally be used as a combat teacher, but his awesome muscles and brutal fighting style that directly punches and claws without saying a word are not suitable for all mutants.

Professor X was reluctant to teach the young children in his academy how to develop their potential and gain greater power than strength. He was more concerned with establishing a correct concept for these mutants in the early days, exercising their self-control and heart.

He knows too well what kind of character children at this age will have in an environment of discrimination and fear from the outside world once they have gained great strength, but without proper guidance. Either extreme hatred of the world, cynicism, or self-isolation and cowardice. Disgusted with everything, including yourself!

Either way, it's not a correct concept or character. All it takes is a small trigger, or a trivial bewitchment, to push a young mutant into the dark abyss.

Mutants are no different from humans except for the so-called multitude of powers. They also have a sense of human identity! Need understanding and comfort from those around you. Nothing inspires these sensitive children more than a sense of identity.

If it weren't for the fact that the external environment was too bad, the professor would be worried. He said that he could not and would not agree with Magneto's unreserved teaching of these children how to use their abilities to fight and fight. Of course, even though the outside environment is harsh, he distinguishes the length of school hours between some of the older children of the X-Men Reserve and some of the younger ones. The former will be taught to fight by teachers such as Magneto, Logan, Summers, etc., while the latter, those little children will only taste it every day.

It is a problem for a child to use his or her abilities to get into trouble, and a child with high potential cannot grasp his own abilities because of his age and temperament, in case of some accidents. It was nothing short of a tragedy and a disaster!

Like William Stryker's childhood child who awakened to his abilities, that powerful hallucinatory ability, combined with the child's mischievous ability and near-nilly control, almost drove his family crazy. His mother committed suicide because she couldn't stand the daily and nightly torments of the illusion, and his father was on the verge of a complete breakdown, seeing all mutants as a huge danger and bent on eradicating them.

"It's getting worse and worse Charles." Magneto Eric Lanshell walked up to Professor X Charles, while watching the students on the field with him. While observing the professor's expression distractedly.

"It's not going to get worse forever. S.H.I.E.L.D. and the White House will not allow this chaos to continue for long. The impact on the country has been catastrophic. Professor X Charles replied softly, with his characteristic gentleness.

"You've always been like that. Pin all your hopes on outsiders! I don't know where your trust in those people comes from, but it's a fact that they can't do anything about the terrible situation they are in and can only rely on stupid methods to eliminate the criminals little by little. They need your strength now, Charles, and the power of the X-Men at your disposal to help them stay the ground. ”

"What are you trying to say Eric?" Professor X's Charles' peaceful and deep eyes met the eyes of Magneto Eric Lansell.

"You should make some demands on them." Magneto said. "I don't believe you don't know this is an opportunity."

"You should know I mentioned it, Eric."

"That's not enough. You should fight for more rights for mutants. Rather than the same routines, which are not painful. Do you know what it makes them feel like you're something? A goofy fool! You shouldn't have any illusions about them, because they don't deserve any illusions about you. I always thought that after all these years you understood this, understood that those politicians could not be trusted, but now it seems. You're still the same, still so stupid! ”

"You're going to have another raging argument with me, or is that the word you say, 'debate'? Humanity is one part of us, and we can't separate them. And the mutants are not strong enough to be the enemy of the countries of the entire world. Professor X Charles looked distressed.

This kind of quarrel has become a daily occurrence in the academy since Magneto came to this academy. Even the cadets, who were initially shocked and panicked by the fierce quarrel between the two respected leaders of the mutant race, were almost surprised by this. There are even some students who will surround the two of them when they quarrel and debate violently, and listen to the two of them with a smile and a smile.

"Mutants are more noble than humans!" Magneto Eric Lanschelle sticks to his philosophy.

"But we, who are nobler than human beings, are not the protagonists of this world. The masters of this world are not us, or other alien races, but weak human beings! Although they were once nurtured and ruled by us and some aliens for thousands of years, times have changed. We're still eating talent! Even as our people become more and more numerous, the authority is held by humans......"

Professor X Charles Xavier wanted to say something, but his peaceful expression suddenly changed, and he changed to a look of shock, heaviness, and disbelief, and looked towards a place in the distant sky.

"What happened?"

Magneto Eric Lanshel saw Professor X's shocked face, and a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart. Whether as friends or enemies who have loved and killed each other for decades. He knows the man in front of him too well, and if he can make this man with an incomparably powerful heart suddenly change color, something unexpected must have happened! And there is a high probability that this matter is related to mutants and some unbelievable supernatural events! Therefore, he didn't care about the routine debates and quarrels with Professor X anymore, and asked bluntly.

"Who is it that has never felt before?" Professor X Charles acted as if he hadn't heard Magneto's inquiry from Eric Lanshel. Just muttered in shock.

Seeing the distracted Professor X, Magneto's Eric Lanshel's expression also became serious, and the growing uneasiness in his heart told him that the trouble this time was probably quite big, big enough to make Professor X lose his mind.

Instead of bothering Professor X, he instructed the X-Men around him to be vigilant, and he himself stood by the professor's wheelchair, patiently waiting for the professor to come back to his senses. As an old friend and old rival, he knows that the current Charles must have put a lot of his mind out. Dropped into the same place where he found the anomaly.

Although Professor X was unable to control every psychic power delicately without the reinforcement of the brainwave intensifier, it was enough for him to determine the general location of the place where the anomaly occurred.

……

Russia.

Abandoned Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

A considerable number of robots of various kinds have leveled several vast areas of ground around the underground entrances and exits, and built a mixed skeleton of many steel and iron skeletons.

A huge transport plane dropped buckets of liquid-like green gooey on the leveled ground, and the green waves swelled and splashed in all directions. It was a group of green plants like a fungus blanket, and some robots that had been waiting around for a long time immediately surrounded the fungus blanket and sprayed dark green liquid. It's like irrigating a piece of turf.

Under the irrigation of those dark green unknown liquids, the fungus blanket that at first looked like a withered and dead thing like a rock, like cotton that had absorbed water. It quickly becomes plump and soft, with a full luster that is unique to the peak of the plant, as if it can pinch out water.

Like rocks, the left and right piles of fungus blanket plants dropped by the transport plane became soft and collapsed under the irrigation of the dark green liquid, like a stream of water. It began to spread in all directions on the flat ground.

They spontaneously converge towards the center of the field, only to become static when they come into contact with another blanket. But when the two blankets merge into one, they will poke out their tentacles in other directions, looking for other blankets.

Soon. An area of complete and vast fungus carpet has been spread on this barren ridge of land.

After that, huge transport planes flew out of the entrance of the underground base one after another, pouring piles of fresh or frozen flesh, human and animal corpses, and all kinds of hideous and ugly biological and chemical weapon corpses onto the patches of integrated fungus carpet.

The fungus blanket almost eagerly welcomed the flesh, and it was like a myriad of short arms, constantly splitting the mass of flesh that poured down, and then swarming up to cover the small mounds that were not tall. Looking down in mid-air, the small mounds on the fungus carpet are like small hematomas growing on green skin, ugly and terrifying!

When the flesh was devoured, a second wave of flesh rain soon followed.

On top of the fungus blanket, a mound-like hematoma sits in the center. It seems that the nutrients absorbed by the fungus are constantly converging towards the center, towards this ever-increasing hematoma. Irrigated with abundant flesh and dark green unidentified liquid, it grows in size almost once in a while.

Rows of neatly lined up robots, like silver waves of metal, continue to emerge from the underground base, taking over the security of the outer base, which is still only a skeleton outside. During this period, all kinds of robots were still doing their work in an orderly and orderly manner, with a clear division of labor and silence, with a shocking industrial power.

……

New York.

West Chester.

Xavier family estate.

Outside the virtual reality training room.

Professor X's eyes were becoming bright and clear, and it was clear that he had come to his senses.

"What do you see?" Magneto Eric Lansell, sensing that Charles had regained his strength and became conscious, preemptively asked. Around him, Sommers the Cyclops, Jean Grey, Logan, Stormgirl Auroro and other X-Men stalwarts were around, and further outer, there were circles of students who were attracted to him.

Professor X Charles Xavier glanced around and said heavily, "I didn't see anything."

Magneto Eric Lanshel frowned.

"I just felt a very powerful force, a force that seemed to be related to the mutant X gene. I could feel that the place was changing dramatically, and the force that caused it was so great that even though it was so far away from me, it was still perceived by me. But I couldn't reach into that area, which was guarded by a force far greater than my strength. It has shut out my visitation. I could clearly perceive what was happening in the area it enveloped, but I couldn't tell what the upheaval was like. ”

As he spoke, the professor waved his hand slightly: "Let the children disperse, I need to use the brainwave intensifier to see it again." ”

"You think it's dangerous?"

Dispersing the young mutants who were onlookers, Magneto Eric Lansall asked him softly as he pushed Professor X's Charles Xavier's wheelchair as he walked towards the secret room where the brainwave intensifier was placed.

"I'm very upset, that place, that force, I feel very bad. Erik, maybe we're in trouble. ”

……

S.H.I.E.L.D. Trident HQ.

Director's Command Room.

"What is the Apocalypse Project, you tell me, and we'll talk about the rest." Nick Fury's face is stiff and cold, and his tone is equally tough.

"Cool, I like this hard-hitting approach." Tony Stark whistled and raised an eyebrow at Nick Fury. It's a pity that Nick Fury doesn't even bother with his agitation right now.

Alexander Pierce chuckled and whispered under everyone's gaze.

"War brings plague, plague breeds famine, and all three produce death, and finally the apocalypse. This is the Four Horsemen and the Apocalypse, and the core of the Apocalypse Project you want to know! (To be continued.) )
