Chapter 10 Simulation Training
In the ruined battlefield of the wreckage, a giant robot that resembles a metal tall tower stands, two red laser beams in its eyes, and the metal armor on its chest spreads outward.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen tactical grenades flew out of the launch port behind the armor one after another, bursting at various positions on the battlefield.
Under the saturation bombardment of lasers and grenades, the entire battlefield almost turned into a sea of fire in an instant, and a deafening roar enveloped all space.
As far as the eye can see, there are raging fireballs rising up, and the screed stones and smoke and dust in the fireball intervals are filled with smoke, reflecting a complete picture of the end of the world.
"Whew! Whew......"
Rapid breathing sounded from all over the battlefield, and within this apocalyptic picture, there were still several figures in the same uniform, hiding behind different covers, somewhat embarrassed to dodge the continuous long-range bombardment of the Sentinel Robots, and the same panic and helplessness on their immature faces.
In layman's terms, they have been stunned.
In stark contrast to these figures, a tall man with a cigar in his mouth stood on the edge of the battlefield, standing so unscrupulously in the middle of the clearing, facing the chaotic artillery fire raging around him, still without any intention of dodging.
A faint white smoke came out of his mouth, and Logan casually looked at the giant robots not far away, as well as the several figures that did not dare to stand out at all behind the cover, and a bit of boredom flashed in his eyes.
Although his memories of the past are still vague, he has experienced two world wars one after another, and he really has no interest in the current intensity of the war, and naturally, he does not pay much attention to the few recruits who have been hiding behind cover and do not dare to fight back.
"Logan, be careful!"
In the middle of all his life, an exclamation suddenly sounded in his ears, and before the aftersound subsided, a scream was already resounding on the right side, and a section of broken steel bars that had been knocked away by the grenade explosion was breaking through the air with the sound of the cold wind.
"Dang!"
With the piercing sound of metal crashing echoes, the steel bar collided with the forehead, but it was not the imaginary picture of the skull shattering, only to see sparks flying at the impact, Logan's head fell back sharply, and the steel bar was also directly bounced away.
The next second, he straightened his head flatly, his neck writhing and making a tooth-aching bone grinding sound, the steel bar not long ago could easily shatter a human skull, but for Logan, it could only cause some skin trauma.
A large piece of flesh and blood on the forehead was directly taken away by the crumbling steel bars, revealing the silver-white metal bones inside, the edges of the flesh were blurred, and it looked quite hideous, but after only a few breaths, this part of the missing flesh was repaired and regrown until there was no trace of scarring.
It was as if the injury he had suffered a few seconds ago was just an illusion, and the only difference was that the cigar he was supposed to hold in his mouth was now falling to the ground covered in dust.
Glancing at the dirty cigar rolling at his feet, the corners of Logan's mouth twitched slightly, and then he took out the last cigar from his bosom and tilted his head to the side:
"Borrow a fire."
As the words fell, a wisp of golden red flame swept through the void, and soon the end of the cigar ignited a spark, and in the middle of the smoke, he took a long breath of smoke and exhaled it, and asked somewhat casually:
"Looks like they're no match for this giant sentinel, why don't I deal with it sooner?"
After listening to Logan's proposal, Storm Girl, who was hiding behind a low wall not far away, rolled her eyes helplessly and immediately vetoed it.
"Logan, we're just co-operators, this is their defensive training, don't break the rules!"
Ignoring the nagging ringing in his ears, Logan looked straight at a silver figure next to Storm Girl, who was the commander of this training.
His gaze swept over Logan, who was eager to try not far away, Xu Yue shook his head lightly, compared to the old and silent Wolverine in 2029, he is undoubtedly more active when he is still in his prime.
"No, they can solve it, but blindly defending can never overcome fear, and only by taking the initiative to attack can we win."
"Fire, you can't fight hard, they can't defeat a sentinel of this level!"
"Oloro, you love them so much, they desperately need a confidence-building victory right now."
When the words fell, the wide wings behind Xu Yue suddenly opened, and he rose from the ground when the air waves were churning, and the strong wind whistling under him also tore apart all the unfinished words of the storm girl.
In mid-air, Xu Yue quietly overlooked the entire battlefield, and the mighty psychic perception spread outward like a tide, instantly connecting all the life forms in the field.
'Now that the defensive phase is over, the counter-offensive phase begins, everyone leaves cover and is ready to charge!' ’
Colossus drew the sentinel's attention head-on. ’
The Phantom Cat and the Iceman quickly approached the target. ’
'Little naughty perimeter assists. ’
…………
Clear and detailed instructions rang in everyone's minds, and at the same time, the bird's-eye view of the entire battlefield also emerged simultaneously with the instructions.
The reason why the bee ants can form an all-engulfing insect tide is that in addition to the huge number of bases, the seemingly ordinary skill of psychic communication is also the key, which is naturally suitable for the battlefield and makes command an art.
On the battlefield of ruins, the bombardment of the sentinels continued, but after the mental command was given, its one-sided oppressive posture was directly broken, and the four figures jumped out from behind the cover almost simultaneously, charging towards the giant robot in the center in four directions.
From the bird's-eye perspective brought by the communication of hearts, they were like hanging on the whole map, and those long-range bombardments were often dodged by them in advance before they arrived.
The distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, and the most muscular steel force was the first to act, his tall body of nearly two meters instantly glowed with metallic luster, turning into a real metal statue, and then wrapped his arms around an off-road locomotive along the way, the multi-ton locomotive was like foam, he directly lifted it, and threw it forward with all his might.
"Boom!"
The flying locomotive jumped six or seven meters, and when it was about to hit the sentry's chest, it was detonated by a grenade in advance, and a huge fireball exploded in mid-air.
The wide soles of his feet couldn't help but retreat, and after stepping into a deep pit on the ground, the sentinel stabilized his body, and his attention was inevitably attracted by the threat he had just posed to it, and the red light in his eyes swelled, and a thick beam of energy shot out, lifting the metal statue beneath him far away.
The statue fell to the ground and smashed a large cloud of smoke and dust, but in the next second, the steel force in the smoke and dust turned over again, casually lifting the weight next to him and continuing to smash towards the sentry.
As the name suggests, the Colossus man has only two abilities, one is the indestructible metallized defense, and the other is the amazing strength, with his defensive power, even the howitzer can resist head-on, as long as the energy beam is not the right point, then it is not a big problem.
While the Sentinel was entanglement with Coulix, the Iceman and the Phantom Cat quietly arrived near their target.
The Phantom Cat is a petite woman who can turn herself and her companions into untouchable apparitions, in which she can pass through all barriers, making them nearly unbeatable, with the only flaw being that she is short in duration and not able to perform this ability perfectly at a young age.
As for the Iceman, he is a young man, he can control the low temperature at will and freeze the moisture in the air into ice, which sounds very ordinary, but in terms of potential, he even has to surpass the professor, but unfortunately the potential is far from transforming into concrete strength, and there is still a long time span in between.
'Iceman controls deceleration, Phantom Cat takes precautions, Colossus prepares to advance!' ’
The command from above sounded again, and without any hesitation, the iceman who had approached the target immediately pressed his hands down, and the dark blue luster surged in his palm, and the cold white mist surged outward.
"Click......"
Suddenly, there was a clattering sound of ice freezing, and the thick ice began to spread rapidly, and after a few breaths, the sentry's feet were frozen into a whole lump of ice, along with the ground below.
Feeling the restraint and stiffness coming from his feet, the sentinel's huge head poked down, and the scarlet electronic eyes quickly locked on to the perpetrator, ignoring the colossus that had been harassing it, and a dozen grenades fell synchronously, launching the most thorough saturation bombardment near the ice.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ………”
The continuous explosions enveloped all the space within a radius of 100 meters, leaving no dead ends, and in an instant, a great earthquake trembled, a sea of fire churned, and the huge ice mound in the center also disintegrated and shattered.
Moments later, the explosion stopped, and the sentinel's footsteps moved, but the massive metal soles had just broken through the ice, and at the ankles of the blind spots, two figures hugging each other suddenly emerged from the ground.
The phantom cat broke away from the ground, and the Iceman froze the sentinel's right calf with all his might. ’
At the moment before the grenade exploded, the phantom cat sank into the ground with the iceman to avoid all damage, and after receiving Xu Yue's command, the two quickly floated up, and as soon as they got out of the ground, the iceman stepped forward quickly, holding the sentry's metal ankle with both hands, and the fierce cold air exploded.
A second, or less!
The ice starts at the ankle and spreads to the entire calf in the blink of an eye, while inside the dark blue ice, the sudden drop in temperature makes the toughness of the metal rapidly become brittle, and a typical low-temperature brittleness phenomenon is occurring.
'Coloss, ram! ’
"Boom!"
As soon as the ice covering the entire calf formed, the ground in front of it was crushed to pieces, and Coulis slammed into the blue icicle in front of him with unrivaled momentum in the standard posture of a rugby player.
"Bang! Click......"
When the two touched, there was a muffled thunder explosion, and then countless deep cracks spread wildly from the impact, and the multi-ton metal statue rushed at a speed of 100 meters, and the exaggerated kinetic energy accumulated was far beyond what this icicle could stop.
In the crisp cracking sound of clicking, the icicles wrapped around the calf were smashed by Colux, and large pieces of broken ice were scattered in all directions mixed with the metal fragments inside, and in just a short moment, the battle situation was directly reversed.
All this happened extremely quickly, and when the sentry robot finally reacted, its entire calf was gone, and its weight of tens of tons was simply not supported by a single leg, and the end result of losing its balance was the sentry's uncontrollable straight fall.
"Boom !!"
The violent movement was like a landslide, and the entire battlefield was shaken by the fall of the sentinels, and then a large cloud of smoke rose and spread, making the surroundings hazy and invisible.
'Repeat the tactic, target the head, and Coulix carries the little mischievous to increase its weight. ’
A new command was given again, and the figure churned in the smoke, and after a moment the smoke and dust cleared, Colossus jumped high around the little mischievous, turned into two metal statues in mid-air, and smashed down violently, and under the blessing of gravity, a frozen head on the ground was completely crushed, and the ice splashed in the fire, which also marked the end of the training with the victory of the four young mutants.
Outside the shattered sentry skull, four rather embarrassed figures sat or stood, although their breath was a little rapid, but they all had a hearty smile on their faces.
They weren't warriors, they were just ungraduated students from the academy, a new generation of X-Men selected by the professor, they hadn't experienced the baptism of blood and fire, and today's victory on their own strength was their biggest success in recent times.
"Bang Bang!"
Applause rang out from the edge of the battlefield, and Stormgirl walked out of the darkness with a relieved face, looking at the four students with a satisfied gaze.
"Well done, today's combat simulations are all qualified."
As the words fell, Storm Girl tapped lightly on the bracelet in her right hand, and an electronic sound immediately echoed throughout the battlefield.
"The simulation is over!"
The electronic sound slowly subsided, and with it, everything around it, whether it was the ruins on the battlefield, the corpses of the sentinels in front of everyone, or even the smoke and dust in the air, all turned into a pale blue torrent of data and disappeared, leaving only a semicircular empty room.
With the disappearance of the virtual illusion, Xu Yue, who was suspended in mid-air, also flapped his wings and fell quickly, and the black combat boots landed lightly with a muffled sound, and he landed firmly in the middle of Storm Girl and Logan.
"Compared to the last time I talked about martial arts and archery, I feel that you are also good at commanding, do you consider taking another elective course?"
"Let's talk about it when we have a chance, it's not far from the outbreak of chaos."
After simply dealing with Storm Girl's request for extra classes, Xu Yue raised his eyes to look at the four mutant students in front of him, and after sensing his gaze, the originally relaxed posture of Colux and the others immediately became high.
After three days of rigorous training, the X-Men, known as the Flames, became their new combat teacher, and after three days of rigorous training, they have almost developed the conditioning reflex of standing in a military posture.
"The meaning of the team is to work together, learn from each other's strengths, the cooperation method just now is just the most basic ability to cooperate, the low temperature cold brittle of the iceman + the steel collision of Coloss, which can allow you to destroy the high-intensity defense that cannot be broken."
"Your mutant abilities are still a long way from being able to take charge on your own, strengthening each other's ability cooperation is the fastest way to increase combat power, tomorrow this time, each of you will propose at least two ways to improve combat power to me, understand?"
"Roger, Teacher!"
"Disbanded."
