Chapter 12: The Night of the First Battle
That night, Xu Ye did not honestly go back to his room to sleep like Katie and the others, but kept walking up and down the corridors of the school: according to the development of the plot, Stryker's men were coming soon, and he had to prepare for the next battle.
"Don't people here have to sleep?"
A rough voice came from behind him, and Xu Ye looked back and it turned out to be Wolverine.
In the original play, Wolverine had a nightmare, so he planned to get up and find some drink.
"I'm a freshman who just came here today, and I'm a little excited, so I can't sleep. Xu Ye threw out the reason that he had been prepared for a long time.
"yes, I just came back today, my name is ······"
"Logan, they all call you Wolverine, right?"
"Yes, who told you that?"
"Katie ······"
The two walked and chatted, and before they knew it, they came to the kitchen door.
As expected, Iceman Bobby was eating this ice cream in the kitchen, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Xu Ye and Wolverine walking in.
"I'm Evan, and I just arrived at the mutant school today. "The Iceman and Wolverine already knew each other, so Xu Ye introduced himself.
"I'm Iceman, Bobby. I heard you beat up Bill and them when you first arrived?" asked Bobbie.
"They were the first to find trouble······
Xu Ye said nonchalantly as he picked up an apple from the table and nibbled on it.
"Do you have beer?"
Wolverine turned the refrigerator upside down, but unfortunately he didn't find what he was looking for, so he had to ask Bobby.
"This is the school. Babi said.
"Okay. ”
Wolverine reluctantly picked up a bottle of soda and was about to drink it, when something suddenly occurred and he handed it to Bobby.
Babie seconds understood, and blew on the soda, and the soda turned into a cold soda.
"Babi, can you make something else out of ice?" Xu Ye suddenly asked when he saw this.
"What you want, I can't figure it out if it's too complicated or too delicate. Bobby shoved the last bite of ice cream into his mouth.
"A short sword, about thirty centimeters long, should be strong enough. Xu Ye thought about it and reported the weapon he wanted.
"I'll try. With that, Bobby pinched the spoon he had just used to eat the ice cream.
The ability was activated, and the frost continued to condense around the spoon, and after a while, a short sword made entirely of ice condensed and constantly bubbling white appeared in Babi's hand.
"There shouldn't be anything wrong with the hardness, but it can't be left for too long, it will melt. Babi handed the Frost Short Sword to Xu Ye: "Also, if you want to use it, you'd better wear gloves, otherwise you may get frostbitten." ”
"Thank you. ”
Xu Ye got the ice sword and tried to swing it, the weight was just right. But he could already feel that the hand holding the ice sword was about to lose consciousness.
So, under Babi's surprised gaze, Xu Ye calmly took out a strip of cloth about two meters long from his backpack and tightly wrapped it around the hilt of the ice sword.
"It's good now, it won't frostbite itself, and it can be non-slip. ”
"Where did you get that?" asked Babie.
Where did you get it? Tocketty, of course, found it during the day, and searched for many other knick-knacks he could possibly use, in addition to strips of cloth.
"I picked up the ······ in the trash"
"Wait a minute!" Wolverine suddenly moved his ears and quickly walked to the window to try to find something, he had just heard something unusual.
"It's coming. Seeing Wolverine's appearance, Xu Ye immediately reacted: it was Stryker's mercenaries who started to act, and [Mission 2] officially began.
Xu Ye tightly held the frost dagger in his hand, and his heart was extremely nervous.
If they beat Bill during the day and played a game with children, the next battle was real. He may either kill others with his own hands or be killed by others, in short, this kind of thing Xu Ye has never experienced.
"Someone's coming in, Evan, find a place to hide. ”
Wolverine told Xu Ye to hide, and at the same time hid behind the kitchen door himself.
As soon as the two of them were dodging, a heavily armed soldier crept in, with a tranquilizer gun in his hand, intending to give a shot to Babi, who was standing at the window and looking out. As a result, Wolverine suddenly pounced on him from behind and hugged him to death.
The mercenary struggled desperately in a hurry, shooting wildly, but he couldn't break free from Wolverine's lock, and the two were temporarily deadlocked.
"Do you know what the biggest mistake you made was?" Wolverine suddenly said, "That's you chose the wrong room!"
After that, he popped out his claws, and was about to give the unlucky mercenary a cold blow, but he saw Xu Ye quickly come out from under the cabinet on the side, and before the mercenary could react, the sharp frost short sword had already cut his throat.
With a "snort", blood splattered out like a fountain. Although Xu Ye deftly dodged it and didn't touch his body at all, he still felt a tumbling stomach because of the first killing.
"Well done, lad!"
Wolverine threw down the mercenary's corpse, patted Xu Ye on the shoulder, and hurriedly ran out.
The school is invaded, Professor X and Scott go to the prison to confront Magneto, Jean and Storm Girl also go out to find the mutant who attacked the president, and now he is the only one in the entire mutant school who can fight (at least he thinks so), and he naturally has to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the mutant students.
"Evan, are you alright? "Babi popped up from behind the cupboard, and he had just hid behind the cupboard to avoid stray bullets.
"I'm fine, Babi. ”
Xu Ye said that it was okay, but his heart was beating like a drum, and he felt that his right hand holding the Frost Short Sword was trembling uncontrollably, and he hurriedly picked up the remaining half of Wolverine's iced soda and poured it violently, which made him feel a little better.
"You don't look like you're fine. As he spoke, Babi activated his ability to freeze the corpse that was still bleeding from his neck, knowing that Xu Ye was uncomfortable because it was the first time he had killed someone with his own hands.
"Thank you, I'm fine. ”
Xu Ye took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart, after all, he had three times the strength of his soul than ordinary people, and it was no problem to simply control his emotions and mentality.
However, although the discomfort of the first killing was temporarily suppressed, Xu Ye's face was still very ugly.
He distinctly remembers: in the movie, Wolverine was fighting the mercenaries, a little girl in a room was awakened, she screamed loudly (it was not an ordinary scream, but a scream comparable to a sonic attack), and the cacophony made all the sleeping students of the mutant school noisy, so everyone began to use their abilities to fight back and escape the school through the secret passage in an organized way.
But just now, they didn't hear anything, what does this mean? The plot does not completely follow the routine in the movie, and there is still a certain gap between this world and the world in the movie!
This is not good news for Xu Ye, his biggest advantage is that he is familiar with the development of the plot, if the world changes, then many dangers or continuation of him can't be predicted in advance?
"Would you like to have some chocolate, it should help you. Seeing that Xu Ye's face was still ugly, Babi thought that he was still affected, so he handed over a piece of chocolate very intimately.
Xu Ye grabbed the chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth without looking at it, said "thank you" vaguely, and ran out of the kitchen with the Frost Short Sword in his hand.
The invasion has already begun, and if he can't save at least five mutant students, the punishment for failing the mission is no joke.
I have to say that Wolverine's combat effectiveness is really not covered, and in just a few minutes, the corridor outside the kitchen has already laid five or six mercenary corpses.
Xu Ye endured the discomfort, took out a grenade from one of the corpses, pulled the pull tab and threw it out, using the explosion of the grenade to successfully wake up most of the students.
Then, with his familiarity with the terrain, Xu Ye connected and killed three mercenaries by moving at high speed and wiping his throat, and successfully rescued an anesthetized mutant child in the hands of one of the mercenaries.
"Evan, here!"
Just then, Katie's voice came from behind her. With her ability to penetrate matter, she easily escaped from the mercenary's guns.
"Katie, you're here just in time to help me get this kid to safety. Seeing that Katie was not injured, Xu Ye was immediately relieved, after all, this little girl will be of great use in the future.
"What about you?" asked Katie, worried.
"I have to save the other kids. Don't worry, I'll be fine, they won't even be able to catch my shadow. Xu Ye said unashamedly.
"Then you have to be careful, don't have an accident, I'll come back to you!" With that, Katie decisively carried the unconscious child through the wall and left the place.
