Chapter 41: Plan is better than change
Cyclops rushed to the Hand Clan's underground laboratory with his goggles, and there was a thick cloud of smoke in addition to the smoke from the broken door.
He was a laser, not a clairvoyant, and the smoke around him completely obscured Scott's vision.
"Whoosh"
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and two darts shot out through the smoke, and the laser eye, which had been alert, quickly turned its head, and the red ray shot down the dart.
Just as he turned his head to shoot down the dart, a blade silently burst out of Scott's back, aimed at the back of his heart.
"Scott, be careful!"
At the same time as the sound of Qin's reminder sounded, the five fingers of his right hand opened, forming a mental shield behind his boyfriend.
The katana was bounced off by the shield, but the owner of the sword didn't seem to want to return in vain, and a slightly glowing fist smashed into the telekinesis shield at great speed.
The two trigger a "bang! Jean snorted, and she felt as if she had been hit hard in the brain, and a small crack suddenly appeared in the heavy seal set by Professor X.
Cyclops, who escaped the catastrophe, saw his girlfriend clutching her head in pain and hurriedly ran back to her.
"Jean! Are you okay! ”
Laura walked in the door just in time to see this scene, reached out to stop Oloro and Hank behind her, and then said to Scott:
"Hurry up and bring her back, I'll deal with the smoke!"
Scott hurriedly walked back with the piano on his hands, and Laura walked quickly to the two of them, raising her hands to guard the perimeter while letting Rachel turn on the exhaust system inside the laboratory.
But I don't know what kind of black technology smoke bomb this is, the exhaust fan power is turned on to the maximum, and the smoke still keeps pouring out for a while.
Seeing this, Oloro stretched out her hands in the doorway, her eyes white, and summoned a gust of wind in the laboratory.
The smoke finally thinned out a lot under the raging wind, but the visibility was still very low, and only the faint black shadows of indoor objects could be seen.
"I've scanned the source of the smoke, it's shown on the light curtain."
Hearing Rachel's voice, Lara changed her hand armor to Shockwave mode and locked onto the highlighted unknown on the light curtain.
"Buzz - Bang"
After three successive accurate bombardments, the smoke grenades were knocked into the exhaust vents.
"Laura! Keep an eye on the left side! ”
Laura, who heard the warning, turned around and punched her side.
"Bang!"
The two fists collided, and the blast wave blew away the remaining smoke nearby.
It was the old Japanese man I saw before who punched Laura, and the fist with "qi" broke Laura's hand armor.
"Humph! The Best in the news is so vulnerable, then let me end up with you! ”
The old man withdrew his right fist and slashed at Laura with a katana in his left hand like lightning.
"Snort"
A hot gaze struck the blade, and the huge kinetic energy knocked the old guy over.
"You're nothing more than that, old man Murakami!"
Turned a little disgraced by Laura's sudden counterattack, Murakami's face instantly turned ugly.
At this time, the smoke in the room had completely cleared, and the rest of the people also appeared in view.
Murakami was half-crouched on the ground with his katana disguised as a cane, Mrs. Gao pinched Mariko's neck with her right hand, and Shida Shingen directly put the knife on Yukio's carotid artery.
"Looks like you're here to save people, so we're in a good position."
Mrs. Gao smiled and spoke.
Aurora and Hank took two steps forward and stood side by side with Laura.
"Later, my attack will bounce off the hostage-taking hands, and you wait for the opportunity to act."
Laura's voice rang out over the X-Men's communicator.
"It's now!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the position she calculated according to Rachel was two shockwaves.
Hank pounced directly on Shingen Shida, and Lady Gao was struck in the chest by a bolt of lightning that had already been brewing.
Laura's hot gaze forced the old devil Murakami to stay in place while quickly moving to Mariko's side.
Shida Shingen's martial arts are also a master among ordinary people, but in front of Hank, whose physical fitness is far superior to him, he only lasted a few rounds before he spat blood from the mouth with a palm and fell to the ground.
On the other side, Oloro fell into the disadvantage, and her skills were wide open, and it was difficult for her to hit the opponent when facing the agile Mrs. Gao in the narrow environment indoors, and she had to be careful to be close to Mrs. Gao at any time.
Jean was still busy suppressing the seal of the phoenix, and Scott wanted to help, but with a single attack method, he looked at the few people in the melee in the arena, and he couldn't intervene at all, but Hank, who had his hands free, began to fight with Oloro against Mrs. Gao.
After confirming that Mariko's physical condition is normal, Laura, who is no longer distracted, increases the power of the thermal gaze that suppresses Murakami.
Although Hank's code name is 'The Beast', he doesn't love to kill when he agrees with Charles's concept, and Shida Shingen is only temporarily incapacitated by being beaten. But he was happy when he fainted on the ground, unlike Mrs. Gao and Murakami's current faces full of bitterness.
Now the battle consumes the "qi" that the two of them can survive and breathe, and if they continue to stalemate like this, they will definitely be defeated.
However, although the two of them, who have lived for hundreds of years, are a little out of step with the times, they still have the combat experience they have accumulated over the years.
Mrs. Gao was lucky enough to take a blow from Hank and Oloro, and Murakami threw away the katana that had been almost melted into scrap metal by Laura's sight, and both of them threw smoke bombs on the ground at the same time.
Laura, Hank, and Oloro knew that the two old guys were going to slip away, but the rapidly expanding smoke made them afraid to move.
Scott at the door also became nervous when he saw this, he protected the incapacitated piano behind him, and his right hand also held the knob of the goggles, ready to attack at any time.
Laura, who was scanning the location of the smoke bomb, heard Rachel's voice ringing in her ears:
"Laura, the power to the entire underground base suddenly went off and I was kicked out of the internal control system. The previously locked entrances and exits were also opened. ”
At this time, the lights in the laboratory went out instantly, and Laura could only take out the drone from the space to continue the reconnaissance mission.
Hearing the sound of footsteps and scolding coming from the stairs behind him, Scott's heart was filled with regret and chagrin, and his previous impulsive behavior directly led to the current situation.
Although Jean has been suppressing the broken seal, she knows everything that is happening around her.
Distracted by the number of guards rushing down, she gritted her teeth, and tried to control the power of the phoenix that had been leaked to unleash a large burst of spiritual power on the enemy, and then fainted.
The minions who were rushing down instantly lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground, and Mrs. Gao and Murakami almost consumed the "qi" in their bodies before they survived, and then escaped from the base as fast as possible.
Although it was not the main target, the rest of the people were still affected, Scott and Hank fainted to the ground one after another, Oloro held up the magic shield and barely withstood the impact, and only Laura was completely immune to this mental shock by relying on the system.
But her face was not good-looking, because at that moment Laura felt some fiery presence glance at her faintly from a high dimension.
