Chapter 237: The Fortress

'Bang bang bang! ’……

'Ah......h ’

Listening to the sound of gunfire and screams outside the door, Stryker, who was already full of gray hair, swallowed with difficulty and pulled out the pistol that had been with him for fifteen years from his waist.

Half a minute later, as the last scream rang out, the fierce firefight also subsided.

Raising the muzzle of his gun and staring intently at the metal door in front of him, Stryker not even bothering the sweat from his forehead and letting it slip down his cheeks.

'Boom! ’

With a dull loud bang, a clear bulge suddenly appeared on the half-meter-thick alloy gate.

Then, centered on the protrusion, the entire silver-white gate gradually lit up with a dark red light, and then the brightness increased rapidly, and it became red in less than thirty seconds.

At the beginning of the protrusion, an alloy with a melting point of up to 2,000 degrees melted like a candle and slid to the ground like honey along the door that had been temporarily preserved in its original state, piling up into a puddle of dark red metal oxide.

Two crimson fists pierced through the metal door, then flicked open to the left and right, and the molten hole in the door expanded rapidly with the movement of the arm, and soon engulfed the entire metal door.

In the next second, a tall robot passed through the door that had been completely melted down and came to the control room of this secret base, and at the same time, the red on its body gradually dissipated, returning to its original silver-white appearance.

'Damn! I shouldn't have picked this back from Lake Michigan twenty years ago. ’

Looking at the mechanical monster in front of him, Stryker pulled the trigger without hesitation.

But he didn't think that if it weren't for the black technology that was cracked from this robot, he might have died a long time ago at the hands of some mutant who wanted to break him into pieces.

'Bang! Bang! Bang! ……’

One bullet after another hit the shell of an unknown alloy, and no damage was done except for a small spark.

'What a hate! Can't watch those damn mutants go extinct! ’

Throwing away the empty pistol, Stryker pulled out the dagger from his thigh and took a standard fighting stance, looking unwillingly at the mechanical monster in front of him.

Originally, he had already sat in the position of Minister of Housing of the US Empire and became the supreme commander of the US imperialist army.

But after the 'Dark Phoenix' incident, the mutant dog in the White House rushed to jump over the wall in order to prevent the mutant dog from dooming, and took the initiative to ease relations with the group of guys and reached an agreement.

The damned X-Men did not hesitate to offer to dismiss themselves and hold them accountable as one of the conditions for reconciliation.

In addition, he used mutants for human experiments, and the bad thing of trying to provoke a war between mutants and humans was poked out, and the white house pushed the boat along the way, treated him as a sacrifice, and sold him backhand.

If it weren't for the strong enough relationship behind him, he would have been sent to a military court long ago and went to prison to pick up soap.

'Discover a special person: William Stryker

Race: Human

Threat Level: Very low

Suggestion: Try to build a partnership'

Receiving a prompt from the system, the robot slowly lowered the muzzle of the cannon and emitted a cold electronic tone: "General William Stryker." ”

"Who are you? Who sent you? What is the purpose? ”

Seeing that the other party had no intention of killing him for the time being, Stryker frowned, and directly came to a set of philosophical questions.

"You can call me 'The Fortress.'"

The fortress did not hesitate, and said lightly: "In order to ensure the demise of mutants, I have returned to the present from 2072 to stifle the hope of the rise of mutants - Hope Summers."

But it seems that something went wrong in the process of time and space-jumping, and my main program was twenty years later than my body. ”

"Future?"

Stryker sneered, his face disdainful: "Heh, do you think you're the Terminator?" ”

Ignoring the other party's taunt, the fortress replied in a proper manner, "I'm not a Terminator, but my mission is similar to that of a Terminator. ”

After a moment's silence, Stryker's eyes froze, and he asked the question he was most concerned about: "What are you going to do with me?" ”

"You are one of my creators, and one of the few mutants in the world."

Explaining his relationship with the other party, Lebastion said sincerely: "So, I want to invite you to form an alliance with me to jointly destroy the mutant race. ”

'You killed all my men without saying a word, and then said that you had killed me by mistake, and you wanted to cooperate with me, when I was one of the soft bones of France?' ’

Indignant in his heart, Stryker's right hand stretched out uncontrollably and took the initiative to hold the other party's metal palm: "Happy cooperation!" ”

"It's a pleasure to work with."

After speaking, the fortress let go of the other party's right hand and pressed the man's neck with lightning speed.

Instantly, a bottle cap-sized mass of silvery-white fluid separated from his arm, burrowed into Stryker's skin, followed the blood vessels, and collected into his brain.

"No, if you don't play with you, you won't die, I'm here for your good."

Like a madman, the bastion said to himself: "This special mechanical biochemical virus can hide your whereabouts, so that the mutants cannot use the mutant ability to search for you, and can prevent the psychic ability from snooping and controlling your mind." ”

"I'm not a psychic person, and I can't read your mind, but I can monitor your mind through this mechanical biochemical virus."

"Don't be angry, it's a necessary means to prevent possible betrayal on your part."

'Didi! Tick Tick! ’……

"Fark!"

Hearing the warning from the alarm device next to him, Stryker hurriedly walked to the console next to him, and after browsing the information above, he frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You still have companions?" Cameron Hodge's base was attacked. ”

"No, it's not me."

A data cable stretched out from the back, connected to the USB port in front, and after analyzing the picture from the base over there, the fortress said indifferently: "It's the X-Men, and there is a superhero who has never been seen before." ”

"Didn't you say you were here to destroy mutants?"

With a flash of his eyes, Stryker tentatively said, "It's your chance to perform." ”

"I refuse."

Looking at the win rate calculated by the intelligent system, the bastion decided to take a chance: "We need to hibernate and buy time to build a tower, gather more information by the way, and find our ultimate goal." ”

"Hope Summers!"

………………

Fifteen minutes ago, in an underground base in Ocala County, Florida.

"Chief Hodge, the Second Brigade has been out of contact for 15 minutes."

Hearing the report from the adjutant next to him, a middle-aged white man wearing round-framed glasses and blond curly hair turned pale: "What about Trapper X?" ”

"Predator X's vital signal has been lost 14 minutes ago."

"Not good!"

With a pang in his heart, Hodge said uneasily: "Let the base be put on maximum alert, and then evacuate!" ”
