Chapter 109: Black Materials
Jean and Oloro are in the hospital, visiting Attorney Olmo. He had just come out of the intensive care unit, and although he was out of danger, he still hadn't woken up.
Previously, Lawyer Olmo and his friends went to a "sanatorium" under the control of the military to have a face-to-face conversation with mutant children. As a result, the child's ability suddenly went out of control, causing a big explosion, and the three of them were blown away immediately. One person died on the spot, two were seriously injured and remain unconscious.
This is the "truth" announced by the military to the outside world, and there are live videos and audio recordings as evidence, and the evidence is conclusive and irrefutable.
The military greeted the media, and all of a sudden, the major media across the country hyped up the mutant threat theory, and mutants became like rats crossing the street, becoming shouted and beaten by everyone.
Although Qin has mobilized all her contacts to suppress this noise, the hot spot has become popular, and there are countless people who follow the trend, and their efforts are completely useless.
Many legislators have made speeches, saying that they will propose a proposal to carry out unified control of mutants to deceive voters.
The situation is completely one-sided, getting worse and worse, Qin and the others know that this is a trap, but they have no channel to speak out at all, and they are helpless about it.
Moreover, she is even more worried that Olmo, who is now in a coma, will have an accident, and when the time comes, there will be no proof of death, and it will be even more unclear. Only when Olmo wakes up, and he, the victim, testifies in person, plus the information she obtained from S.H.I.E.L.D., can it be possible to clear the grievances of the mutants.
She was discussing with Oloro to stay here in batches to make sure Olmo could wake up smoothly, when the phone rang.
She glanced at it, it was an unfamiliar number, and when she connected it, she heard Scott's voice coming from the other side.
"Qin, we're out of trouble, where are you?"
"Oh God! What a surprise, Scott! You were released? What about professors? Also released? Jean exclaimed in surprise.
"Release? Hehe, Qin, it's hard to say. Scott sneered, "I still have a lot of rescued mutants here, you arrange for the plane to come and pick us up, hurry, before the military people arrive." ”
"What? What happened? Jean motioned to Oloro to contact the plane.
"It was Magneto who rescued us, and he killed all the people in the base. Magneto, he's crazy, and we must stop him before he acts. Let's talk about it when we meet, locate the location of my phone. Be sure to be fast! ”
Scott's voice was urgent, he had to take all the mutants away before the military arrived, otherwise he would inevitably have a conflict with the military.
In particular, he has arranged for Robert the Iceman to take people to start collecting various evidence that Stryker used mutants for experiments.
Although Scott is a friendly faction, he is not a fool, and he knows how unbearable those shameless politicians are in private, and he has no trust in them.
Jean and Oloro still stupidly hope that others will release the captured mutants and replace them with Scott, he will definitely go to find other people's black material to threaten and lure those guys to do things honestly.
With evidence of various inhumane mutant experiments in Stryker's base, he can use this to reach a deal with the military's top brass to rescue Professor Charles and reverse the current unfavorable public opinion.
Therefore, it is not entirely unreasonable for Professor X to choose him as the leader of the future X-Men, and he is the tallest in a group of short people. Although the force value is a little inferior, for the friendly faction, a skilled politician is more important than a hero with superior force.
And the premise of all this is that he can leave smoothly with this evidence.
When Magneto was moving, the base should have sent a message to the Pentagon asking for help. Although the Lake Ekari Industrial Center is hidden outside the federal borders, for the U.S. military, it is only a minor matter of formality.
Support from the military is definitely already on the way.
The military will not allow these black materials to appear in front of the public, and killing people is the best choice.
If he hadn't moved everyone away before the arrival of the military, there would have been an armed clash of arms.
Although he and the Iceman are confident that they will keep all the military reinforcements here, this is not in line with the usual style of the X-Men, and it is easy to get out of the way and affect his plan to rescue Professor Charles.
In his anxious waiting, the X-Men's stealth plane finally arrived first.
Compared with the conventional fighters of the US military, the X-Men's supersonic aircraft can fly at a maximum speed of several Machs, which is completely last-mover first-come.
The group organized the children to get on the plane in order, and then quickly took off, turned on the hidden function, and headed for another secret X-Men base.
After the plane entered cruise mode, Jean left her position and came to Scott.
"What the hell is going on? How did you get caught? Isn't Eric crippled? How did I rescue you again? What do you mean he's crazy? Jean was full of questions.
Scott sighed and recounted in detail what had happened that night, and then went back to the fact that they had been at the base these days, being studied as test subjects.
Finally, he took out a portable hard drive, handed it to Jean, and said, "Here are the videos and materials of the mutant live experiments we found in the base, with this thing, we can rescue Professor Charles." ”
"As for Magneto, he, his limbs have grown back up, and he seems to have the ability to heal other people's injuries, maybe Stryker did some kind of experiments on him that led to this result."
Scott doesn't know how the magnetic field rotates, and he can't tell what kind of power Eric uses to heal his injuries, and the superpower generated by the martial arts function is already very exaggerated, and now it can actually make people reborn with severed limbs, which is even more unimaginable.
"Magneto hates humanity so much right now that he vows to exterminate all humans and establish a kingdom where only mutants exist."
"We must stop him before he acts, otherwise once the war starts, the relationship between humans and mutants will be completely irreparable."
While listening to Scott, Jean imported the data from the portable hard drive into the computer on the plane, and the darkness revealed in it made Jean's heart beat and her emotions fluctuated violently.
And as her emotions fluctuated, the whole plane trembled.
Scott hurriedly turned off the computer, "Jean, calm down, things are messy enough now, you must not have another accident, if the black phoenix comes out again, then our group of people will have to die here." ”
