Chapter 42 The so-called "public relations"
This time, the main task is to let Zhang Yang steal the brainwave enhancement machine!
For this hot potato, Zhang Yang knew very well how much trouble it would bring, the two enhancement machines and all the relevant materials were in Stryker's hands, and Professor X might have a backup there, but Zhang Yang didn't know where to put it.
The situation is that Zhang Yang needs to break through the layers of the military base from under Stryker's eyelids, and then defeat the guards and the illusion master Jason in order to get it.
"Who came up with such a perverted task?"
In contrast, going to Stryker's office to steal information is more likely, Zhang Yang remembers that the demon girl turned into the appearance of a death girl, infiltrated the office, and stole the materials where Magneto and the brainwave booster were imprisoned.
The first two side quests, saving Professor X independently and preventing Jeangree's "death", are more normal, and the rewards for the third side quest are somewhat attractive, one is a magical movie ticket, and the other is a random draw for a superpower, but the problem is in the word random.
"X-Men shijie's mutants, I'm afraid the number is no less than hundreds of thousands, randomly draw abilities from these people, it's good if it's Professor X's level, but who knows if it will draw some chicken rib abilities?"
The opportunity and danger of the mission coexisted, and after Zhang Yang finished watching the mission, the time around him seemed to start passing again, and Logan and the others continued to drive forward as if they were not aware of it.
"It's normal, if I were you, I'm afraid I'd be the first to suspect a stranger like me."
Zhang Yang said that it was understandable, and Rogan nodded with a smile and continued to drive forward.
Because of the hurry of coming out, everyone felt a little drowsy at the moment, and Zhang Yang couldn't help but be sleepy, leaning on his seat and napping, and suddenly felt someone patting him. Zhang Yang opened his eyes and saw John the Burning Man.
"Hello, Zhang Yang, I'm John, you can call me Fire Man, I heard that you can also control the flames?"
"Yes, hello, I'm Zhang Yang."
John stretched out his hand, Zhang Yang shook his hand, and felt that the other party's palm was a little hot. Unlike the Iceman, the living man himself has a more impatient personality, and the Iceman is two extremes.
There was a hint of excitement in John's gaze, he was the only one in the school who could control the flames, and he had always thought he was unique. At this moment, he met another person who controlled the flames, which made him eager to try.
"Can you show me? I can only control the flames. But you can't create your own flames. ”
John had been playing with a shark head lighter in his hand, and after the fire, he stretched out his finger, and suddenly the flames lightly surrounded John's palm, forming a small and delicate fireball.
Zhang Yang smiled slightly, not to be outdone, and snapped his fingers. A small red flame appeared out of thin air, levitating on his fingertips and burning, John looked at the size of the flames between the two, and immediately smiled: "Zhang Yang." It looks like my fireball is bigger than yours......"
As soon as his words fell, the fireball in his palm began to tremble as if he had seen some terrible creature, the flames were constantly fluctuating, and it seemed that they would be extinguished at any moment, and John could clearly feel this flame, exuding an aura of fear.
On the contrary, the small flame in Zhang Yang's hand, although small but very bright, faintly exuded a majesty, which made John's eyes widen.
"Zhang Yang, my fire seems to be more afraid of your fire, what's going on?"
Zhang Yang smiled mysteriously, the one on his finger was the true fire of Samadhi, which belonged to the high-level thing in the fire, where could it be compared to the ordinary flames produced by the lighter?
"But this is a bonus, and the Samadhi True Fire can deter other flames."
Zhang Yang had no doubt that if he confronted the fire man, his samadhi true fire would be able to defeat the other party's flames. The flames of the two attracted everyone, and Logan gave Zhang Yang a surprised look, and then continued driving.
"You two don't play with fire in the car, although it's the one-eyed dragon's, but I will promise that if you burn his seat, the one-eyed dragon will definitely put an apple on your head to shoot at the target."
"Sorry, Logan, we were wrong."
Zhang Yang had plans to show off his strength to everyone before, and only when he was stronger could he be noticed by Professor X and join the X-Men.
Hearing Logan's words, John and Zhang Yang didn't dare to continue to play big, otherwise once it got out of control, the whole car would have to be burned, John snuffed out the flame in his palm after hearing it, and then said with some eagerness: "Zhang Yang, how about a chance to let me try your flame?" I felt it was challenging, and I wasn't sure in the car. ”
"Yes, when we're free, it's too dangerous to be in the car."
At this time, the iceman also looked over, and there was a hint of challenge in his eyes, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "I also want to try, my ice can extinguish John's fire, I don't know if it will work for you." ”
"I'm happy to accompany you."
The closer he is to these people, the more likely he is to join the X-Men.
The car continued to drive for more than half an hour, and finally drove out of this forest, in front of which was a small town with a few lights flashing, which seemed to be a supermarket.
"Logan, I'm a little hungry."
The little mischievous touched his lower abdomen, and then John and Bobby both expressed their hunger.
It's only one o'clock in the morning, everyone is sleepy and hungry, and many Americans have the habit of eating supper, so they discussed it and decided to park the car in the parking space next to it, go to the supermarket to buy some food and water, and continue to go on the road.
"Alright then, you guys go to the supermarket and get some food and drinks and come back, but be careful, the military is likely to start arresting us, don't expose us."
"We understand."
The three of them jumped out of the car, and the iceman found a jacket from the back seat and asked the little naughty to put it on first, she was now wearing pajamas, and she came out in a hurry, and she didn't even wear shoes.
Zhang Yang originally didn't plan to go, but he was a little worried about them, these three people were all in the rebellious period of youth, and it was easy to get into trouble, Zhang Yang also got out of the car, and then saw that the three people were constantly digging out their pockets, and only took out a few poor bills.
"I'm sorry, I didn't have any money with me, I only had five dollars on me."
Everyone was a little frustrated, they forgot about money, after all, in the school before, most of the cost of things was included in the school, basically free, very little money.
"If you're struggling with not having any money, I think I can fix it."
This question is nothing to Zhang Yang, he still has the $500,000 in cash on him, and he took out a stack of dollars directly from the storage space, all of which were $100 bills, Zhang Yang took out a few and put them in his pocket, and put the rest back.
Everyone saw Zhang Yang take out a stack of money out of thin air, and their hearts suddenly became more curious about him, controlling the flames, substantiating spiritual power, summoning beetles, taking out money out of thin air, and several superpowers appeared on Zhang Yang's body in a row, which made Zhang Yang's body covered with a layer of mystery.
Logan's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, and Zhang Yang surprised him twice in a row, which made Zhang Yang's evaluation in his heart invisibly go up to a new level.
"Zhang Yang, your hands are too handsome, a lot of money, I think we have enough for tonight's expenses, maybe I can buy another dress."
Naughty and John were surprised and delighted, and even the Iceman's face showed a hint of joy.
"No problem, but you can't spend money indiscriminately, I'm going to donate this money to the welfare home."
"Welfare home? Zhang Yang, I'm also very pitiful, I think you can consider donating it to me......"
John kept squeezing his eyes, and this sentence made the flamboyant figure more mysterious in the hearts of everyone.
"Publicity." Logan got out of the window, then shook the empty humidor, got out of the car and pulled out the key: "I think my cigar seems to be down, okay?" ”
"Today's expenses are all on my head, let's go together."
"Hooray!"
"Zhang Yang, if I were a woman, you would definitely give you a kiss."
"John, forget it, I don't do it."
……
Several people kept fighting, and in this way, Zhang Yang only paid a few dollars to gain the friendship of several people, as long as he could join the X-Men, these expenses were nothing.
It was a medium-sized supermarket, open 24 hours a day, and there were four salespeople on night duty in it, and Logan was seen walking in with four young men.
Led by the female clerk, the little naughty followers went to the women's clothing section to buy a dress, and Zhang Yang, Bobby, and John were all around to choose food and drink.
Because no one knew how long they would have to flee, they bought some extra spare food, instant noodles, purified water, Coca-Cola, ham, family-sized canned beef head, bread, tomato sauce......
The person who received Logan was a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked at Logan's face and guessed Logan's age in his heart.
"Do you have a cigar?"
"Yes, but I can only sell it to you, they can't."
In the United States, alcohol and smoking are prohibited for minors under the age of 18, and most people consciously abide by this law.
Logan shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and casually made up a reason: "Of course, these are my friend's children, they have traveled far away, you know, children of this age are very disobedient, and they have to come out in the middle of the night to buy supper, which makes me very big." ”
"I know very well that my son is also so old and is in a rebellious period, come, look, this is my personal treasure, Cuban cigars, you can't buy them anywhere else." The middle-aged man looked sympathetic.
"I want both boxes, and I'll pay for them later."
Rogan talked to this uncle with ease, and understood the current situation without a trace, and the military did not seem to have laid defenses in this town, which made Logan breathe a sigh of relief, and this escape seemed to be much safer. (To be continued......)
