054: Xander. Rice
In a wooden house in the deep forest, the warm light of the stove stretched the shadows of several people in the room, Rojo leaned against the window, looking in the direction from which the eerie screams came.
He closed the curtain of the window and said, "Uncle Wolf, you guessed right, it could really be a human." ”
"Do you have an idea?"
Logan. Howlett looked at the boy.
"I think it's Zander. Rice arrived, and the voice was similar to that of one of his test subjects, X-24. ”
Rojo recognized that the voice was similar to that of the X-24, and he was a little surprised, it was obvious that he had underestimated Dr. Rice, and it only took one day for Rice to catch up, knowing that they had chosen to drive on a remote section of the road.
"Tested subjects like Laura? No wonder his voice sounded, somewhat familiar. ”
Caliban glanced at Laura, and the girl's vigilant expression had not changed since she entered the house.
"X-24 is even more special, I can't describe it, but when you see him, you should be able to understand my feelings."
Rojo took two pistols out of his backpack and gave one to Caliban, "Caliban, you're in charge of keeping an eye on the professor, Xander. Rice is most likely also coming for him. ”
"I have shotguns, three rounds left."
Caliban said this, but still tucked the pistol into his waist, so that he could feel a little safe.
"What do we do now?"
Lorna polished her dagger and asked.
Logan. Howlett pulled out the pistol on his waist, clicked on it, and said, "Of course it's to kill these damn brutes." ”
"For now, this is the only way to go, and our plan can be implemented in advance."
Rojo knew it was time to get rid of Xander. Rice's best time, he is in a remote location and can't contact reinforcements, as long as he gets rid of this group of guys, he can temporarily break the tail that has been tracking behind him, and Uncle Wolf's injuries have also recovered, plus Lorna, it is not too difficult to deal with that group of mercenaries.
"Here they are."
In the wheelchair, the professor, who had been ill and silent, raised his hand and pointed to the curtain that had been drawn.
Airplanes...
A strong white light shone on the window, and the black curtains could not block the strong light, the wooden house seemed to be shrouded in white light, and the cracks in the simple wooden walls were also filled with white light, like magnified stars, which made people's eyes a little stinging.
"Be careful, squat."
Rojo hurriedly pulled Lorna next to him to squat, and Laura on the other side pulled a blanket to cover the professor's head.
"Fack, my eyes are running out, tell those damn guys to turn off the lights!"
Caliban is not so relaxed, he is very sensitive to ultraviolet rays, living in the dark for a long time in the wilderness, making his eyes more sensitive to strong light, the strong light shining from the outside makes him cover his eyes in pain for a while, trembling and curled up in the corner, avoiding the exposure from the strong light as much as possible.
"Calm down, I guessed right, it's Xander. Rice's people. ”
Rojo motioned for him to calm down, then rubbed his eyes and opened the curtains to see a few lights and a group of mercenaries coming from the surrounding bushes, all armed, with infrared rays under the barrels of their guns like raindrops falling on the walls of a wooden house.
Those infrared raindrops also penetrated through the simple walls of the wooden house, and shone on the Rojo people.
"There's a lot of them..."
Logan. Howlett clenched his gun, touched the red dot that fell on his chest, and felt empty, "What now?" ”
"Lorna, disarm them."
Rojo looked at Lorna next to him.
But seeing her frowning and shaking her head, she waved her green hand a few times, and finally deflated and put her hand down, "I can't feel the existence of metal, the gun in their hand is made of something special." ”
"Looks like Rice is aware of your presence."
Rojo didn't feel the slightest response from the metal from the mercenary group, and it seems that Dr. Rice learned from the abandoned factory that someone could manipulate magnetically.
In this operation, the entire mercenary group, fully armed, wearing special combat uniforms, no skin was exposed on the whole body, the combat uniforms looked hard, the weapons and ammunition were also special materials, not mixed with any metal substances, they didn't even drive, they came on foot to encircle the wooden house, and there was no X-24 outside.
Lai is obviously better than Donald. Pierce was more cautious and didn't want the factory to happen again.
"Logan. Howlett! ”
"Charles. Xavier! ”
"Caliban!"
At this time, outside the wooden house, a loudspeaker with a little electric sound amplified a voice from the rear of the mercenary group.
"I know you're in the cabin, don't try to struggle, get out on your own, and save those three children from getting hurt with you, I don't want to hurt the children, and I don't think you want that either."
Zander with a hairline high to the top of his head. Rice, her eyes fixed on the cabin.
Whew!
In response, a short sword burst out of the window of the wooden house, wrapped in a faint green light, like a meteor slashing through the air.
"Doctor, be careful!"
The men around him reacted quickly, raised their shields, and stopped Xander. In front of Rice, the dagger pierced through the hard shield, stuck in it and trembling violently.
"Logan, give you ten seconds to think at the end."
Zander. Rice grimaced.
He turned his head and instructed his subordinates beside him, "I'm impatient, after counting dozens of numbers, kill Logan and Charles, and try not to hurt the other four." ”
The mercenary group that got the order immediately locked the location of several people in the wooden house through thermal imaging, and accurately aimed at Logan and Charles, the simple wall had many gaps, and dense infrared light spots fell on several people in the house through the gaps in the wall.
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
Caliban, in the corner of the wooden house, curled up in fear, heard the countdown, and asked fearfully: "What should we do now, those guys outside have dozens of guns, and they can beat us into a sieve!" ”
"Shut up, Caliban!"
Logan. Howlett clenched the gun in his hand and looked at the red light that fell on his chest, he had rushed out now, but not now......
"Calm down..."
Rojo took a deep breath, he had many ways to solve the trouble in front of him, but the problem was that if those methods were used, he would expose his true mutant ability.
But in this situation, there is no better choice....... He took a deep breath and clenched his fists, ready to cast his mutant abilities.
"Do you want me to come?"
Suddenly, the professor, who was paralyzed in a wheelchair, interrupted him, "I'll control them, and I'll leave the rest to you." ”
Rojo was stunned, a little incredulous, "Professor? ”
"No, absolutely not, that would hurt you too much."
Logan was the first to shake his head.
"Trust me."
The professor's eyes gradually focused, and he became resolute, "I have to do something for you." ”
