2. The sound of the east and the west
A layer of beating blue arc lingers above the ghost base, which is a closed energy field composed of high-intensity currents that can instantly block the entire base and prevent creatures from entering or escaping.
This thing is a defense system developed by scientists from SHIELD's Department of Science and Technology. Its design is inspired by a military defense module launched by Stark Industry a year ago. To be precise, it is the thing Tony used to encircle Merlin.
But Winston, the gorilla who operates the defensive force field, had a very ugly expression at this time, because above the force field, a thing like a corrosive wormhole was spreading little by little, and the arc that could instantly roast the human body seemed to be useless to the sudden invader.
“Look there!”
Colson, who had just walked out of the helicopter, pointed to the sky, and Melinda raised her head and saw a red figure hovering above the beating blue arc.
The guy was more than 3 meters tall and was wearing a set of weird purple and red armor. There were sharp spikes on his shoulders and elbows. He had a smooth purple-red helmet on his head. In the y-shaped eyepieces of the helmet, there was a pair of pale, hazy and fierce light emitting a pale, hazy and fierce light.
He hovered outside the arc defense layer, and there was a stream of energy lingering in his left hand, touching the defense layer of the base like a drill bit. The contact between the two energy made the dangerous defense layer look like corroded steel, and soon a black hole visible to the naked eye appeared.
This layer of defense can't stop him.
"It's the mutant raider attacking!"
Melinda shook her hands gently, and two frozen pistols jumped into her hands, she said to Colson:
"Sir Merlin's guess is correct. This guy is indeed coming to the ghost base."
"I'm Colson, Winston, start the trap!"
Colson pressed his finger on the communicator in his ear, and while taking out his pulse gun from his magic pocket, he said to the base control room:
“Notify Chief Merlin and the 'farmer' again.”
"receive!"
Winston's calm voice rang in Colson's ears.
The next moment, while the sudden attack crossed the first layer of defense fortifications of the ghost base, the energy and defensive weapons arranged in various areas of the base locked the sky at the same time, and then fired, just like a meteor shower flying in reverse. The colorful light and the low explosion sound like thunder quickly covered every inch of space above the base.
However, for extremely unscientific invaders, the ghost base's defensive firepower is not impossible to break through.
The red figure made a series of low laughs in the air, and his body jumped around in the air like a shadow. He appeared next to a fixed anti-aircraft machine gun, swung his steel claws, and the weapon that fired at him was easily torn apart, while the bullets that flew out were blocked from his body by an invisible shield.
Although since the appearance of the mutant predator's mad attack, which has not been seen in the head and tail of the dragon, s..l.d. has not figured out the limit of this guy's mutant ability, so he cannot accurately divide a threat level for him, according to Professor X's speculation, mad attack should be a real and rare omega-level mutant.
That is, the most powerful of all mutants that have appeared in history, and Mad Attack seems to have the ability to absorb the power of other mutants, which also makes Mad Attack very diverse in offensive methods.
The biggest problem is that to this day, even Merlin and Professor Charles don’t know what the purpose of attacking this guy to plunder the power of mutants?
He is not like an extremist who destroys everything, but he doesn't look like a normal mutant.
"Stay here!"
At the entrance of the ghost base to the underground prison, the base's agents were fully armed and guarded at various defense nodes. A long time ago, the ghost base was ready to deal with possible violent attacks. Merlin called it a "trap", but in fact, in the face of such a level of mutants, any rigid trap is meaningless.
Therefore, the so-called "trap" is actually the fact that others defend the base, hold back the attack, and wait for external support.
Fortunately, there is a supporter near the Ghost Base that is absolutely reassuring.
"Get out!"
The crazy attack took more than ten seconds to completely destroy the two-layer defense system that SHIELD spent a huge amount of money to build, and then appeared on the platform leading to the underground prison.
But unexpectedly, he did not seem to be in a hurry to enter the underground prison full of radical mutants, but stood on the platform and scolded the fully armed agents in front of him.
"Silly human, I don't want to let my hands get blood today..."
The sound of the crazy attack was very consistent with the voice that a big villain should have. The kind of warning that made people feel creepy when they heard it at night made the agents behind Colson unable to help but hold their weapons tightly.
"Don't panic."
Colson noticed the agents' emotions, and he pushed his goggles and said to the agents behind him:
"The reinforcements are coming soon..."
"Swish"
As soon as Colson finished speaking, a young man wearing a straw hat and a milkman's apron fell from the sky like a meteorite, blocking the agents and the mad attack with a standard superhero landing posture.
When he received the message of help, Clark rushed over as quickly as possible and pushed the straw hat on his head. He looked at the red figure in front of him and said:
"Leave."
Kuanggong did not answer, but raised his hands, and a black dangerous energy gathered in his hands.
Seeing this scene, Clark also clenched his fists.
But the next moment, a shadow of gathering and dispersing appeared behind the attack. The mutant raider seemed to feel the sudden crisis. He flew into the sky suddenly, but at the same time, a sharp light flashed behind him.
The cold-faced palm was pressed against the cracks between the attacking helmet and armor, and the Holy Silver's sleeve sword accurately pierced into his neck.
One blow will kill.
"Crash"
Just like the sound of running water collapsing, the red figure that attacked wildly dissipated on the spot like smoke.
"This is?"
Clark looked at Merlin in a surprised manner, who shook his head and said:
"Strength projection...I just solved one on the other side. This guy split out 3 projections to attack our three bases at the same time. Is it going to distract us?"
"What the hell does he want to do?"
————————————————
"Thank you for your hard work, Professor Charles."
At the same time Merlin killed the third projection of the attack, in the isolated island prison hanging from the sea, his assistant Sharon was pushing Professor Charles' wheelchair and walking in the passage of this most defensive secret base.
Sharon said to the gentle professor:
"Every quarter, you have to help us calm the emotions of these prisoners."
"It's nothing, Ms. Sharon."
The professor said gently:
"The prisoners detained here are all lives that are very harmful to society. Letting their freedom be persecuted by others. I am happy to help you. Besides, S.H.I.E.D. has also helped us a lot in the matter of mutants."
“Help each other.”
Sharon's eyes were a little tired. She couldn't help but yawn, then forced herself to cheer up and said to the professor:
"In a few days it will be time for the utopia to open to the public. I heard that you have prepared a celebration for this?"
"hehe."
The professor smiled, and the bald old man whispered:
"It was my students who thought that after so many years of struggle, we finally made the mutants truly unite and work hard for the future. This is a memorable moment, and I let them do it. Oh, by the way, Ms. Sharon, you and Mr. Merlin should have received the invitation. On the day of the opening of the Utopia, I sincerely hope that you can also attend."
"I will...uh."
Sharon felt more and more sleepy, and she seemed to be unable to even open her eyes.
"There is a small request."
Professor Charles didn't seem to notice the strange situation of Agent Sharon, he said gently:
"My friend, Eric, Magneto...the leader of the radical faction, although he has done a lot of bad things, I know that the establishment of the utopia is also his always wish. Therefore, I want to meet him at this moment...just share the joy of mutant people with him. I know this does not meet your rules, but can I meet him? Agent Sharon."
"Well, this... has to go through the process first. For Magneto's...any, any visit, you have to go through...Captain Merlin's...agree..."
As one of the three generals under Merlin, Sharon was a member of the first group of S.H.I.E.L.D. Their spirit and will are far superior to those of ordinary people. However, at this time, deep in the island prison, Agent Sharon was eroded by the crazy sleepiness, and she even shook her way while walking.
But even so, she still remembers her duties.
In the face of Agent Sharon's polite refusal, Professor Charles, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said with some regret:
"Okay... Then please send me away, it's a pity."
The moment the professor finished speaking, Agent Sharon's expression suddenly became dull, and she said in an emotionally unsatisfied voice:
"Okay, I'll send you away now."
After saying that, she pushed the professor's wheelchair, but walked towards the cage at the deepest part of the base.
"Agent Sharon Carter, permissions are met, and the identity verification is passed."
With the sound of mechanical sounds, the elevator leading to the deepest cage in the Isle Island Prison opened in front of the professor's eyes. At the same time, the communicator in Sharon's ear was also connected, and Merlin's voice sounded in Sharon's ear:
"Sharon, is everything normal in the Isle Prison?"
Professor Charles glanced at Sharon, who immediately replied with a blank expression:
"Yes, sir, everything is OK."
"Where is Professor Charles?"
Merlin asked again, Sharon's expression was a little struggling, but a second later, she still said softly:
"The professor is emotionally guiding the prisoners, everything is normal, sir, don't worry."
"Go and have a rest, Agent Sharon, you look tired."
Professor Charles whispered, Sharon nodded and turned around and left shakingly.
Without anyone pushing it, the silver wheelchair carried the professor slowly into the elevator in front of him.
"Crash"
As the elevator opened again after more than ten seconds, Professor Charles, sitting in a wheelchair, appeared alone in the most extended cage in the Isle Island Prison. He raised his head and looked at the cameras around the cage. A flash of light like an electric arc flashed in his eyes. The images reflected by the cameras on the monitor suddenly stopped.
"Bang, bang, bang"
The professor reached out and knocked on the heavy glass in front of him, alarming Magneto Eric who was studying a chess in the cell.
The latter was wearing a simple black robe. In this cell of more than 30 square meters, he had his own bed, dining table, and bookshelf, just like a small house that could clean up the warmth.
There is also a carpet on the floor of the house, but if the carpet is uncovered, you can see a complex and cumbersome energy suppression array hidden under the carpet.
Magneto Eric, who had been a prisoner for a long time, looked good in his mental state. He held a chess piece in his hand and turned around and looked at his old friend who was staying in the dark. He was a little surprised. He said:
"Charles? Why are you here? Did they allow you to come and see me?"
"No, they don't allow it."
Professor Charles, who was staying in the dark, said in a regretful voice:
"They think you are dangerous, and any visits are rejected. I applied several times, Eric, but they were rejected. Actually, I can understand their thoughts, but I still feel sad when I see you being imprisoned here."
"Then how did you come in?"
Magneto Eric's expression changed for a moment. He put down the chess piece in his hand and walked to the glass cell. He looked at Professor Charles in the dark and said:
"Charles, I feel that you...you are in a bad state. Is something wrong?"
Professor Charles, sitting in a wheelchair, shook his head, and he looked at Magneto, and he said seriously:
"I'm here to tell you something and take away something."
"Eric, your dream utopia will be officially established in a few days and open to the public. After the troubles of radical ideas, my comfort work has gone smoothly. Our people have seen hope, and this hope will be guided by my students... Our common ideal when we were young has come true."
"But it's one step away from the final implementation..."
As Magneto Eric looked in surprise, Professor Charles placed his hands on the armrest of the wheelchair, and he stood up so easily. Through a layer of glass, Professor Charles and Magneto Eric looked at each other.
There was an indescribable feeling among these old friends who had fought each other for decades.
"Radical thoughts must be eliminated, and Eric must be eliminated from the source, and a peaceful and stable group can better integrate into the world."
Professor Charles's hand was pressed against the glass in front of him, and he whispered:
"And our people will continue to be kind, they no longer need to use force to protect themselves...I will do it, I will become the patron saint of all mutants... For this, I need your strength, Eric."
"Buzz"
It was like a palm passing through the water flow, and the professor's body easily passed through the thick glass wall the next moment. He looked at Eric with a slightly terrified face, and a strange smile appeared on his face, and he said:
"Did you always want me to be tougher? Eric..."
“I did it.”
He reached out toward Magneto, who was constantly retreating, and he said:
"I need your strength, Eric. Only when our strength is integrated can I better protect our people."
"Your power, plus my wisdom..."
"Come on, give it to me!!!"
