Chapter 36: Reminiscences of the Past 2
Ignoring the surprise of the two, Charles continued to say in a sad tone: "This has become a flashpoint for the conflict between mutants and human governments, a month later, X Academy was attacked by humans, accompanied by the first generation of sentry planes, that battle was very tragic, we were defenseless, many mutants were captured or died, if it wasn't for Leah's child to help transfer us, I'm afraid all of us would die there." ”
"Oh." Li Yi raised his eyebrows, it seems that the little girl is growing very well now.
But soon, Charles said in a more desperate and painful tone: "Soon something more terrible happened, although we escaped, but the conflict between me and Eric has inevitably erupted, at that time I thought that it was because Eric led the mutants, but Eric thought that we should not have hope for humanity in the first place, so all the mutant children were divided into two factions, one group followed Eric, and the other group followed us. Then, Eric and the others began plotting revenge on humanity for the dead mutants. ”
"Then, the war broke out, the Sentinel Plane qì people were powerful, beyond Eric's expectations, they failed, only a small number of mutants fled, and what was even more terrifying was that Raven was also caught, and then, Trask studied Raven's genes, so that the Sentinel Qì people completely evolved into weapons to kill us, and the mutants completely fell into the abyss of despair."
"The terrible destructive power of the mutants during the war made the U.S. government at the time regard us as the greatest threat at home. At the same time, in order to deflect the pressure of anti-war public opinion in the country, our existence zài was widely reported. As a result, humanity began to fear and hate us, and the government began to strongly support Trask Industries' research on the Sentry Machine, and in order to make the Sentry Aircraft stronger, they began to capture mutants all over the world, and we had no escape, and we had a final showdown with them in San Francisco. We lost defenselessly, and I died in that battle..."
"Are you kidding, you're dead. Are you a ghost now? Li Yi asked incredulously.
"No...... I did die. Charles sighed slightly and said, "But before I died, I transferred my will and spirit into my brother's body. This is the body now. ”
"Your brother?" Li Yi was stunned, he had never heard of it.
"Yes." Charles explained: "Actually, I have a twin brother. But he was in a vegetative state underneath. Perhaps, it was because my ability deprived him of his spiritual power, and although he was alive, he never woke up. ”
Charles's tone was a little sad, and he said slowly: "My mother and father did not abandon my brother because of this, they raised him slowly, although he did not have his own consciousness. Even his own storage zài may not know, but. This helped me, and before I died, I transferred all my will into his body, bringing him back to life and making me who I am now. That's why I'm able to pick up my dead identity, slowly gather the mutants who are still alive, and secretly resist the Sentinel Machine. ”
It was not easy for Li Yi to accept the meaning expressed in Charles's words, which was a bit like the resurrection of the corpse he had done.
"What's next." Li Yi asked.
"We kept dodging the sentry machine, and sat to resist, I gathered the original X-Men, and at the same time found Logan, Scott, Guanyin, and the Iron Man, Iceman They joined us, and then I found Eric, although our contradictions still exist, but, in the fight against the sentry machine qì people our battle line is the same, so, we joined forces, together against the Sentinel, our strength is strong, and we began to slowly have the power to breathe."
"What about Emma and Leah?" Li Yi listened to it for so long, and it didn't seem to matter anything about his wife and daughter, so he asked curiously.
"We were separated from your wife and daughter after the attack on the Academy, we couldn't find them, Emma didn't seem to want us to find her, and, because the brainwave searcher wasn't in my possession, I couldn't possibly find them."
"It wasn't until later, when we were preparing to free the mutants who were imprisoned by Trask, that Emma and Leah showed up, they helped us rescue our compatriots, Leah's abilities were very useful, she ran fast, like lightning, nothing could catch up with her, and neither could the Sentinel, with her help, we managed to free Raven and them, but it was our only victory against the Sentinel, and it was the last..."
"Later, the Sentinel Qì people began to change rapidly, we are no longer their opponents, we can only live in the shadows, hoping that they will not find us, in order to ensure the vitality of the mutants, not to let our goal be too big, we are divided into zero, Eric leads some mutants, Emma leads some mutants, I lead some mutants, we each fight and support each other."
"However, the horror brought by the Sentinel Plane made us desperate, our battle line was quickly divided, they began to break through point by point, and I became the first target, so there is the current result, Scott and I were both arrested, fortunately, none of them knew my true identity, so I survived safely, which may be the only thing to be happy about."
So far, Charles has completely told the experience of more than ten years, Li Yi didn't expect so many things to happen in his absence, and he sighed with a sigh and said in a deep voice.
"Mutants are really troubled."
Charles nodded with a heavy face, then raised his head, looked at Li Yi and said, "During the time I was locked up, I thought a lot, what you once said!" You may have been right, but I was too soft-hearted. ”
"What I said before?" This made Li Yi stunned, what he said, why didn't he remember.
Charles recalled: "You said that we are a threat to humanity, a threat to a species, and that they will ruthlessly destroy us without any sympathy when they know of our existence. ”
When Charles said this, Li Yi remembered it, but he said it, but the object of the complaint at that time was Raven.
"Uh...... Well, I don't care about that, all I need is for you to help me find out where Emma and Leah are, Charles. Li Yi said indifferently, mutants have nothing to do with him at all, anyway, he is not alive in this world, as for Emma and Leah, they have to leave this world with him anyway.
"No problem." Charles nodded, he didn't feel any discomfort about Li Yi's attitude, in fact, he was grateful to Li Yi now, and Li Yi was the only strength he could rely on now.
"Without the restrictions of the mutant killer, my abilities have been fully restored."
"Good." Li Yi nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Bailey Allen, who had been listening carefully to the side and was hiding something he didn't know: "Is there anything that is relatively empty here, but no one knows the secret place, and it needs a lot of power supply." ”
"Of course." Bailey Allen nodded excitedly, looking like he was about to witness some major historical event, and said excitedly: "Come with me, in fact, I recently acquired an abandoned fireworks warehouse, and I was originally going to store some good things brought from the United States." ”
Bailey Allen called a few of his men, and soon a black van drove up, and a few people sat on it, and then made their way down the nightly street to a place near a hill in the suburbs.
A few people got out of the car, and Li Yi saw that in the darkness not far away, a huge warehouse with lime on the exterior and walls was falling off.
Bailey Allen shrugged and said, "Come with me, I was originally planning to engage in some smuggling, and there is still a good market for American things in Japan." ”
Bailey Allen said, using the key to open the rusty lock on the iron chain at the door, and then pushed open the big iron door, and in an instant countless dust shook down and fell from the sky.
"Ahem, ahem...... No one has been here for a long time. Bailey Allen patted the dust on his body, and then walked in first, and Li Yi and the others followed.
After Bailey Allen entered, he touched the corner of the wall and pressed the switch, so that the entire warehouse lit up, and Li Yi saw the whole picture of the warehouse.
I saw that the roof of the warehouse was very high, with three or four floors, and the room was covered with dust and cobwebs.
"Very good." Li Yi nodded, roughly satisfied, and then walked to the true center of the warehouse.
"Stand back." Seeing that Charles and Bailey Allen had a tendency to keep up, Li Yi waved them back a few steps.
Although they were puzzled, they still obediently stepped back.
Li Yi estimated the general direction, and then, after glancing at Charles, Bailey Allen, and Elijah, said: "The next thing may be a little incredible, but don't be surprised." ”
Say it, blink.
Then there was a bang, and a huge air flow appeared, blowing the dust in the room everywhere, and then the earth shook, and a huge metal ball appeared in the warehouse out of thin air.
In Charles's incredulous gaze, Li Yi smiled slightly, and then said, "Okay, everything I can do has been done, and then it's up to you." Charles! (To be continued......)
