Chapter XXXVII
"Don't worry too much, it's possible that the storm girl and the phoenix girl have found it." It's just that Lu Chen himself knows that what he said is just comfort.
Wolverine was the fastest to come down because he knew the terrain, which was why Lu Chen ran into him first on the way back, but he was the first to come down, and he only found one person, and it was more difficult for others to find people, after all, those students left the collapsed hall first.
Except for the fire man and the soldiers who blocked it, Lu Chen and the three of them didn't meet anyone else, and the contractor on the Iron Fist side didn't come to hinder Wolverine, which made Lu Chen a little surprised, but after thinking about it, Lu Chen also understood.
If they team up, they can indeed kill Wolverine, but Wolverine's body healing ability is too good to bear, and killing Wolverine is not something that can be done in a while, so instead of wasting energy on Wolverine's body, it is better to deal with other contractors, which is more efficient.
Therefore, Wolverine's journey through the soldiers who were protected in place was almost unhindered, and Lu Chen followed with a little light.
As Lu Chen expected, Wolverine's side was not attacked, but the other two parties were not comfortable, Storm Girl and Phoenix Girl were attacked as soon as they separated, and the attackers were not only ordinary soldiers, but also mutants controlled by Shrek, and five contractors with him.
The attack on Stormgirl was two of Ironfist's teammates, who were weaker and were ordered by Ironfist to deal with the weaker Stormgirl, but they also had a powerful presence by their side.
Cyclops, after being caught by Shrek, Cyclops was also controlled. In the original plot, he was sent to deal with the phoenix Maizen, but was awakened by Jean with love.
Although the Iron Fist Five don't believe in such a thing as love. But fearing that something might happen, they let Cyclops deal with Stormstorm.
They don't believe that Stormgirl has a leg with Cyclops and is able to awaken Cyclops.
It's just that although Cyclops plus those two people are strong, the strength of the contractors on the Storm Girl's side is not weak, although the number is smaller, but there are fewer and fewer advantages, they are much more united than the Phoenix Girl's side.
Especially after the viper pulls the bullet trio. Several of them became more united.
Viper's invitation went well, and the bullet trio and Viper used a voice transmission to bring the bullet trio over.
From this point of view, Viper is still quite suitable as a lobbyist. Of course, the premise of all this is that Lu Chen has broken through the extreme value, and his strength is completely stronger than that of the bullet trio. If there is no threat from Lu Chen. Even if the viper broke its mouth, it would not be possible to win over those three people.
With Lu Chen as his backing, the poisonous snake moved the three of them almost at any cost, and Lu Chen didn't ask them for anything, but asked them to promise to do their best when dealing with the Iron Fist, as long as they contributed, Lu Chen would not attack them in the future.
Lu Chen still attaches great importance to Iron Fist, and those who have broken through the extreme value cannot be seen by common sense, and Lu Chen doesn't know what he is capable of. To be on the safe side, Lu Chen needed his rear to be stable.
For Lu Chen. Although the characters in the plot are disgusted with him, they want to rescue Professor X, so they have the same purpose as Lu Chen, and with their somewhat righteous approach, Lu Chen doesn't need to be too guarded.
But the contractors are different, although Iron Fist is also their enemy, but it is also possible for them to take refuge in the enemy, as long as the interests are sufficient.
In order to ensure the victory of the battle, Lu Chen must ensure the stability of the rear, and the bullet trio has become the object of Lu Chen's struggle, their strength is good, and their cooperation is also very good, if they go against Lu Chen, Lu Chen will also feel very troublesome.
This is the reason why Lu Chen sent a poisonous snake to follow the storm girl, Lu Chen's approach is just to ensure safety, but for the bullet trio, this is the moment to decide their fate, if they don't agree to team up with Lu Chen, they understand that Lu Chen will not let them go, the unstable factor, Lu Chen is indeed very clear before the battle, understand this, they will be so happy to agree.
Moreover, Iron Fist is the common enemy of all contractors, and this bullet is also known, therefore, they signed a non-aggression pact with Lu Chen, and they only need to exert their strength to deal with Iron Fist, which does not conflict with their own mission.
The signing of this contract made their relationship much better, because the conversation was very fast, and when the two teammates of Iron Fist came over with laser eyes to snipe, they were facing a united team.
The teammate of Iron Fist suffered a great setback, as the captain of the X-Men, the laser eye is very strong, but he is a little dizzy after being suppressed by the fantasy potion, and he cannot fully exert his strength.
Storm Girl resisted him alone, and the strength of the plot characters is equal, and what you see is the combat power of the contractor.
can team up with Iron Fist, the strength of the two of them is still good, but after all, two fists are hard to beat four hands, there are four contractors on the side of the viper, the bullet is attacking with the poisonous snake in the heel, the bull is charging forward, and Le Lu is assisting, the two contractors have tried their best and have not rushed over.
Seeing that they couldn't attack for a long time, they were afraid that something would happen, they also retreated, and the vipers and others did not pursue, they were not familiar with this underground base at all, and the pursuit was likely to hit the trap by mistake, and it was right to advance steadily.
The storm girl survived the attack unharmed, but the phoenix girl was different.
Although her teammates are numerous, they are not united at all, and it would be fine if it was just like this, after all, those contractors are not fools, although they are not united, but they also know that they have to cooperate and fight.
But the military advisor that the Blade sent to Iron Fist was not an easy person to deal with, and as a senior contractor, he also knew what would happen to the contractor.
Therefore, he did not attack with all his strength, giving the other contractors a chance to join forces, but relied on his familiarity with the base, and constantly carried out sneak attacks on them from all directions.
In this way, although they could not kill all the contractors, the Phoenix Girl's footsteps were also delayed, and more importantly, their unfamiliarity made it difficult for them because of this attack method.
Because they are not long-term teammates, their skills are not too familiar with each other. The way of fighting is also not very clear.
Seeing the enemy, the melee ones want to charge forward, and the long-range ones directly bombard with spells. This is a good way to deal with a team that has been working together for a long time, but for an unfamiliar team, ranged abilities will most likely fall on teammates instead of hitting the enemy.
In this way, in the chaos, he was raided by two people, the bald head and the military division. The Phoenix Maiden's team suffered casualties, and several contractors died.
There was another thing that was surprising, and that was in the midst of a chaotic battle. The flood gate of this base has been affected, and as in the original plot, this base is about to be flooded.
Lu Chen didn't know about this matter yet, in his thoughts. Since the contractor knows such a thing. It should stop the Phoenix Girl, but what he didn't expect was that the people on the Iron Fist side didn't send Laser Eye over, so the Phoenix Girl's emotions were not impulsive, but the others destroyed the base because of the chaotic relationship.
Immediately after this accident, some contractors retreated. Even if it is as strong as them, if there is no special bloodline. Washed away by the flood, there is no chance of survival.
It's just that Professor X hasn't been rescued yet, and if General Shrek's plan succeeds, even if they escape the flood, they will have only a dead end, so although they want to retreat, they are still searching underground.
It's just that this time, their speed is much faster, and they have been urging the Phoenix Girl to speed up their actions, and they have put aside the search for the students, they don't want to die here.
Of course the Phoenix Girl would not be willing to give up the students like this, but the advantage of the large number of those contractors came into play at this moment, the Phoenix Girl was only one person, and those contractors were still several even if they died.
Some of them are eloquent, and they directly explained the reason to the Phoenix Girl and the overall situation.
"Professor Qin, I know you want to save these students, but saving Professor X now is the key, if Shrek's plan succeeds, even if you rescue them all, it's not the result of death."
"Yes, Professor Jean, and there will not be one or two deaths, how many mutants in the world will die because of this."
"We know you're not afraid of death, but if you think about the other mutants in the world, they are innocent, do you want to watch those innocent mutants die?"
"Let's go, Professor, we know you're having a hard time, but the current situation doesn't allow us to hesitate too much."
……
Although the Phoenix Girl didn't like what the contractor said, she knew that what they said was right, and if Professor X hadn't been rescued, everything would have been over, so although the Phoenix Girl was heartbroken, she finally compromised, didn't look for those students anymore, and went down with all her might.
However, the Storm Girl is still looking for those students as always, they don't know that this base is going to be flooded, in fact, the contractor has a lot of communication equipment in his hands, and the bullet trio should have communication with other contractors.
But when they returned to the party from the town where Magneto was imprisoned, they were already isolated, and the other contractors didn't give them communication items at all.
It was also because the group of contractors did not keep their promises first, and the three bullets agreed to the solicitation of the poisonous snake so easily, you are unkind to me, this is the practice of the contractors, and no one in the space has anything to complain about to you.
Because of the speed of travel, it made the bald head and the military advisor a little difficult, they were not good at arranging other means, and the group of contractors accidentally bumped into them, but their situation was much easier.
Soon, at a bend, they ran into Lu Chen and Wolverine.
Lu Chen ran directly from the wall to the bottom because he used the void skill, while Wolverine was very familiar with the terrain and came below one step faster than the others.
So the first person Lu Chen met from below was Wolverine, because the speed of the Phoenix Girl became faster, and the second team met them.
Seeing them, Lu Chen and Wolverine also saw their anxious expressions, Wolverine asked, and they told Wolverine everything, in fact, Lu Chen was next to him, and the other contractors didn't want Lu Chen to know about the change, but it was impossible to hide it if they didn't say it, it was impossible to conceal it, after all, the Phoenix Girl was the witness of everything, and it was impossible for her to hide it from Wolverine.
"Just because of your mistakes, you want to abandon other students, hmph, it's really high-sounding."
After knowing the reason for everything, Wolverine also knew that they were not going to look for other students, which made him a little angry, but he was a soldier before, and there were more helpless sacrifices in the army than this, he had fought, and many teammates died for covering their retreat.
Therefore, he knew what to do now, and although he was angry, he did not bring up the idea of going back to the students, but in his heart, after rescuing Professor X, he must go to those students.
After knowing the situation, Lu Chen directly used his spiritual power to contact and communicate with the poisonous snake, and told her everything here, telling her to speed down and stop looking for those students.
Although this base is very large, and the people who are scattered just now in order to find the student contractor are also very open, but the main reason for this base is that it has many layers, the straight-line distance is not far away, and the spiritual power can break through the entity, so when he saw the Phoenix Girl, Lu Chen could already sense the Storm Girl and let them come down.
Although the poisonous snake was notified, Lu Chen did not have the idea of waiting for them to come down, but took Wolverine and the others to the place guarded by Iron Fist, and now the matter is really urgent, one is that he doesn't know how long the dam above can last, and the other is that he doesn't know how long Professor X can hold out.
If Professor X can't hold on, Lu Chen will be in danger, although he has a helmet that will not be affected, and there is no specific punishment for the tasks given by the space, but the others are different, they will definitely die, and if they die, Lu Chen will not feel good, after all, Iron Fist and the others see that they have a deal with Shrek, and they will not die if the plan succeeds, but Lu Chen will fight five.
However, Lu Chen didn't care too much about the collapse of the dam, he had his own way to deal with it, in fact, even if the contractors around the Phoenix Girl didn't act, Lu Chen would find an opportunity to destroy the dam and let anyone pour it in, which was the best way to force those contractors.
There is a threat to his life, he is not afraid that they will not help, and at the same time, this is also Lu Chen's counterattack when he is cornered, if he fails to stop Shrek's plan, Lu Chen will destroy the dam by himself, let the water from the dam pour into the base, and try to kill them with the iron fist.
Of course, now that someone has done it for him, there is no need for Lu Chen to bother anymore, while leading the way, Lu Chen is also thinking about other things. (To be continued......)
