Chapter 45: Reluctantly Reed Richards
The frost and snow blown up were accompanied by a strange whimpering sound, just like the white flower salt grains raised high when the inland salt works were drying salt, splashing and intertwining into a thin veil, scattered on the snow field and accumulating a little thicker.
On the barren permafrost plains of Greenland, the soldiers of the Sirius Legion who had withdrawn from the dimension of hell walked into the entrance of the Wolf's Lair base in an orderly manner.
Aside from the black and red blood spilled on everyone's armor and uniforms, as well as a few sinister souvenirs with a few demonic claws or horns, it's hard to imagine that this team has just returned from a battle in the indescribable "world of hell".
"Brother, you're welcome, it's all a trivial matter! By the way, I don't have to talk to the Supreme Mage, if those aliens really come again, we can also go into battle."
James smiled and patted Master Xiao Li on the shoulder, decades have passed, and the mage apprentice who used to be not very talented in magic is now a middle-aged man, and he has finally become a mature "Hehehe, as a secret mage, you have your own perseverance, if the foreign enemy really hits you, I believe that Kama Taj will naturally not stand idly by, but... This war is not yours."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and James watched as several mystical mages passed through the Starfire Portal back to the Holy of Holies in New York, where the white-haired wind blew in the frozen fields above the wolf's lair, and also blew away the heat and strong smell of sulfur on the border of hell.
"Hurry up the treatment of wounded soldiers, through these few dimensional training, we have a good idea of the combat strength of the legion, but it is impossible to maintain such a low casualty rate in the upcoming war, today is the last large-scale combat exercise, and the subsequent arrangements are mainly to repair and prepare for war."
Eric Lansel walked along the ice fields with his father, and he was extremely satisfied and proud of the Legionnaires he had trained in the early days.
With the help of the mystics, the Sirius Legion has traveled through the dimensional space many times, and has engaged in real life-and-death battles with monsters and demons in foreign worlds, or evil races.
Whether it is the hundreds of winter wolf warriors who have awakened from the "Winter of Wolves", or the young mutant elites who have just graduated from the academy, they have finally grown into powerful legions qualified to conquer the sea of stars after large-scale transcendent level battles.
"It's a pity that we don't have real experience in interstellar warfare and space warfare, although you ordered to recruit the best ace pilots from all over the world, and there are suitable mutants to gather together for selection and training, but Steve doesn't know air combat."
"Those researchers and military staff officers can only rely on the rules and experience of space warfare scavenged by a few Kree people in their memories to simulate and study, the Kree Empire's powerful starfleet and technological weapons... That's the biggest problem we have to face."
Eric held the dark red helmet in one hand, and said in a deep voice half a year behind James. The perspective of combat has also been raised from the battle between individual extraordinary combat forces to the level of clan warfare.
"The later this war begins, the better the situation will be for us."
James stopped and stood on a slope in the snowfield to gaze at the Arctic Ocean in the distance, the light in his eyes becoming sharper.
「…… It takes time for the Kree to absorb technology and the creation of space battleships and fighters, Zora and Hank have worked hard in the past five years, if it weren't for the Kree Empire's supreme wisdom and the adoption of a special memory masking ability for every Kree person who has been connected to it, Charles would have been able to get more important information, and even find the coordinates of the Kree home planet."
Turning around and patting Eric on the shoulder, James's eyes suddenly relaxed, and finally said softly:
"But after all, this universe is the 'king' of the more powerful life essence, and although the overall quality of the Kree people is not bad, the path of evolution that has been almost sealed has always been the shackles for them to move towards the strongest power."
「…… More than we feared, the Kree Empire had to find a way to close the gap in power at the top, otherwise they would have sent a fleet to attack them as soon as possible after their defeat five years ago. Okay, let's go back to the wolf's lair, let's take the kids to school together tomorrow."
A small bag of ruby-like, clear-colored blood fell on the chest of Remus Pitt II.
Little Remus, who was lying in the medical chamber with his eyes closed, was deeply cut open from his abdomen,
Extends to the lateral ribs, deep visible bones. The left arm appears to have just been attached, and is still soaked in a light green regeneration solution that accelerates healing.
"Look at what, Young Master Ben has been 'like a rainbow of blood' recently! It's kind of waste for you."
Still a former lion's mane with messy hair, but already a young man with a resolute face and a strong body, Little Remus glanced at the "old enemy" Warren, pinched the small bag of blood that was only 10 at most and sneered disdainfully:
'Shhhh Pigeon, take a good look at Lao Tzu's physique, how can such a little bit be enough! Oh, there's a knife, put two pounds."
"Archangel" Warren rolled his eyes and ignored Remus, shook a pair of silver-gray "steel wings" whirring, and finally raised his middle fingers a few times and strode out of the base medical area. Young Master Warren was accustomed to the vicious tongues of those close to him, whether it was Kurt's "little hen" or Remus's "pigeon", in short, no one seriously called him nicknamed.
Flipping the blood bag in his hand, thinking that if he relied on the regenerative liquid, he would have to lie here for at least three days, little Remus laughed twice, and the mighty appearance of a wide nose and ringed eyes actually gave birth to a bit of tenderness.
The blood bag was placed in the injection slot in the medical chamber, and Warren's blood quickly flowed down the vein into his body.
A tingling sensation as if an ant crawling through the cracks of the bones hit, especially the left arm that was severed by the high-level Minotaur Demon with an axe, and the wound on the abdomen that was almost completely dissected.
After a few minutes, the tingling sensation that came from the tide gradually subsided, and little Remus jumped up and moved his left arm to check the wound at will, leaving only a shallow pink line, and all the injuries were recovered!
"Archangel" Warren Worthington III, after the killing technique broke through to the second layer of the second awakening of the mutant gene, in addition to achieving its own self-healing ability second only to the regeneration of severed limbs, his blood also has a strong healing effect.
After being injected into the body, it can quickly heal all kinds of injuries, even most diseases and poisoning states.
"What a change over the years."
"Grandpa!"
Little Remus, who had just recovered, looked up at the door, and his grandfather, Remus I, who looked no more than forty years old, smiled and nodded.
As the head wolf of the wolf pack from the beginning of this century, the first generation of Wolf Winter Freezer, the old Remus Pete, who followed James Howlett to Wakanda twice, only met the grandson of the Winter Wolf after the thaw.
With a kind face, he looked at his little grandson, who was half a head taller than him, and looked at the many legionnaires who were still dormant in the medical cabin around him, and the two of them walked out of the treatment room before chatting.
"That was your little brother just now?"
Little Remus furrowed his brows, as if he couldn't say that he and Warren were good brothers.
"I don't know, but I fight with him the most, the hardest!"
"Hehehehe, that's the best brother, it's changed so much after waking up, I haven't entered the 'Wolf Winter', when I was still in the top five in the family, now... Hey, these little guys are more and more fierce than the other, and they have all kinds of skills."
As they walked, they slowly chatted about the battle at the "Hell's Frontier", wandering around the wolf's lair base, which was already as grand as a dungeon.
Passing through the central square of the recreation area of the base, the noisy and lively rough laughter and ridicule came, and from time to time a few young men were fighting with their fists and feet, such an environment and atmosphere belonged to the pure life of the soldiers.
On a row of benches in the plaza, Jean Grey sat staring at the pages in a daze, dressed in everyday sportswear and casual clothes, holding a book of analysis on the advanced levels of evolution.
"Huh? What about Miss Laura and Miss Sharon?"
Scott came running over with two cups of the base's unique "Heartgrass Leaves" ice drink, and asked in a strange loud voice.
Qin was shocked back from a state of distraction, straightened his sideburns, sat upright and looked around, which was also a little strange.
"Just now Kurt said that he was looking for them, and I don't know where I teleported with them, why haven't I come back yet......
"Oh!
Ahem, don't care about them, you try this, I queued for a long time, and it's available in limited quantities every day."
Laser Eye replied with a slight exaggeration, and hurriedly handed over the metal cup the size of a coffee cup in his hand, which was as bright as ice cubes, and a dark green leaf the size of a fingernail floated on it.
"'Heart Grass Leaf, ah, thank you Scott, this is hard to buy, I heard that the demand for Heart Grass in the base has been particularly tight recently, probably to prepare for the war has been made into a potion serum."
Qin took a sip elegantly, the sweet and mellow flavor with a crispy and numb touch, like electricity rushed to the top of the head, and the whole person felt refreshed.
This drink, made from the vine leaves of the "heart-shaped grass", is in short supply at the Wolf's Lair base, and even the number of cups per day is not fixed, in addition to the taste and texture is very special, it also has a significant refreshing effect.
Over the decades, this heart-shaped grass, which has been irradiated by the vibranium rough mountain, has been developed by the scientific team of the Howlett family, resulting in the generation of serums and potions.
And this kind of vine grass leaves, which do not have much practical effect and are relatively large, have gradually been discovered into the raw materials of some special drinks.
"Laser Eyes" smiled with satisfaction, his eyes narrowed into a strip under the red special sunglasses, and he took two bites, forgetting to taste it carefully, leaving only a mouth full of icy touch.
"Hmm... Well, I recently had an idea! After following Mr. Howlett to fight some Terrestrial Kerry and make our world no longer threatened, hey, I should have saved enough wolf gold, and then I can change to a spaceship that can make space jumps, and then really travel the sea of stars......
Jean blinked her eyes as she looked at Scott Summers' slightly red cheeks and talked about her ideals, and she didn't know if she didn't hear the invitation in the boy's words, and soon ran away again, and her thoughts drifted far, far away...
New York, Manhattan Fifth Avenue, Empire State Building.
Outside the elevator area on the west side of the building, which is reserved for the Organites and their visitors, a tall, thin man who should be no more than thirty years old, but dressed in an unusually old fashion, hesitated for a long time, and refused to walk to the elevator room.
"Don't grind! If you don't want to go to Stark Industries, isn't the old Stark's son a classmate of you?"
Reed Richards was pushed by a bald man, coughing lightly and taking care of his old-fashioned striped bow tie, wearing a suit with a wide waist and wide legs, like a style that was popular more than a decade ago.
"You have to know that Tony wasn't involved in his company's business, and he was only seventeen years old at MIT, so we were a little bit older, and we didn't really play together......
Reed's best friend, Ben Graemm, is an accomplished astronaut with the youngest NASA record to succeed in an assessment.
Although he grew up in the slums of New York, Ben did not dream of genetic mutations all day long like many of his peers, and went to college with a football scholarship.
But until now, Ben is still regretting that he quit his decent and stable job, and he runs here to gamble with Reed as if his brain is hot.
"You're also a genius with a dozen prestigious universities and doctorates in many fields, so why don't you rush to ask for you, wouldn't it be nice to join the Howlett Group earlier, this will be the time to 'take off your pants, and when the time comes, you will be guilty of chastity again."
Ben's street tone and his rough voice were the same, and Reed Richards picked his nose for a while, and retorted eagerly:
"If you go to a minor in biology, you will know that all the tide of evolution and the era of mutants are all lies! But the global biogenomics community either keeps silent, or says shameless nonsense in black and white..."
Seeing that his friend was getting more and more excited the more he talked, Ben touched two handfuls of bald heads and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
「… Fooling the world, monopolizing resources and technology, manipulating the regime... The name Howlett is the biggest, biggest dictator of the century! But the Van Osborne Group can give me a little higher budget, huh! I'm not going to come here!"
Reed angrily held the cowhide briefcase and stood in the lobby on the first floor with his mouth open, still looking like he was in college.
"Alright, Os
Ben is a little bit of a budget? There is no better choice for the allocation and capital investment you want except for the Orient Group, and what I just said is nothing, so look at ***!"
Ben Niu's eyes widened, and he continued to teach like an old father:
「…… Don't use the so-called pursuit of truth in society as a pedant, the operation and survival of the human world is not a mathematical formula written in black and white, the Howlett family is quite low-key, and the world has been peaceful and stable a lot over the years. Tidy up your hairstyle and grin a little bit......
"Don't be reluctant, maybe after listening to your project, that gentleman will be able to see you in person!"
