Marietta is right next to Atlanta, and the distance is not very far. John drove the three of them directly towards Marietta.
Because I was in a hurry, I didn't actually talk about much along the way.
On the way, John told Lorna and Zhang Ziyu some details that were not mentioned in the meeting.
The attack this time was very sudden. The person in charge of the transportation was discovered by the Sentinel Secret Service. His relatives reported it directly, and then the people, the vehicle, and a whole group of mutants were captured.
The Amarita site is now making preparations. In addition to the core members who are ready to cooperate with them in the rescue mission, other mutants have already entered the transfer process.
The transfer can be done once and for all, but re-establishing this site is not a matter of time, so the best solution is to rescue people, gain more buffer time, and then slowly replace the underground site.
The distance between the two places was not very far. After a two-hour drive, the three of them entered the suburbs of Marietta.
Without entering the city center, he turned directly on a small road and came to a remote woods, where John stopped the car.
"They will come over in a moment. Generally, we will not go directly unless there is an emergency."
John explained aloud that in addition to the supply stations where everyone would arrive at staggered times, the connections between stations needed to be handled by people to avoid too many direct contacts, as the Sentinel Secret Service would follow suit and capture them all.
The three of them didn't wait long. In Zhang Ziyu's mind, a car shrouded in spiritual energy was approaching quickly in the distance, and soon it arrived about a hundred meters away.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said to himself: "I'm still a little cautious."
The vehicle is invisible due to mimicry, and does not appear directly to observe the surrounding situation.
It has to be said that in this mutant world, invisibility and mimicry are one of the most common mutant abilities, but their strengths vary.
About ten minutes later, the vehicle appeared and drove next to John's car.
"John"
A black man got out of the car, wearing a light blue work T-shirt and jeans, with a rather tall figure.
Behind him were three young men, a tall and thin white boy, a red-haired woman, and a man wearing glasses.
"Burton" John stepped forward to greet him: "How is the situation?"
Burton didn't look too good, and said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell me that the security in that place is a bit tight, and it's not just a government agency."
I drove around Marietta on a remote road and then came to a farm nearby, and finally saw this stronghold.
The farm is not big, with only two wooden buildings. This is Burton's own property, but under the cellar of the farm, there is a different scene.
The group of people got out of the car, and Burton led them into the warehouse. At the entrance were piles of straw arranged in bundles.
Several people worked together to move the straw to the side, and then Burton said to the tall and thin young white man: "Karim."
Karim stepped forward, put his hands together, and used his mutant energy. Soon the land on the ground began to move to both sides, and an underground entrance suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Under the entrance is a ready-made metal staircase, which is obviously not caused by mutant powers.
"Karim's ability is to control the soil to a certain extent. He has put a lot of effort into this underground base."
Burton introduced his members, and then under his leadership, he was the first to go down.
Everyone went down one by one, and the smell in the cellar was not pleasant. There was a feeling of turbid air, but it was not lacking in oxygen.
A huge cellar can be used as a base, and it obviously has a ventilation system, but it may not necessarily be installed here.
"Burton"
There was a man guarding the room at the entrance to the cellar, holding an AK in his hand, and stepped forward to greet Burton.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Burton nodded, and then continued walking towards the corridor with Zhang Ziyu and the others. The corridor extended deeper, a bit like a corridor inside a floor.
The corridor extends left and right, and each branch is a space, a bedroom or a common room.
Zhang Ziyu's mental power was swept away, and the entire structure was already clear in his mind. It was about six to seven hundred square meters in size, but the number of people was not right. It was less than half the capacity. The luggage was packed in bags.
, only a few were released for use, and they looked ready to run away.
We arrived at a relatively spacious common room, with several computer monitors placed at the front and a whiteboard on the left.
"I'm afraid John's incident this time will cause trouble for you."
As soon as everyone arrived, Burton already made a solemn request to John.
Seeing his demeanor, John looked even more solemn and asked, "What's the situation like at that control center?"
"A control center that is ostensibly managed by an agency affiliated with the Sentinel Secret Service, but is actually managed by a laboratory. The armed force is twice as strong as that of an ordinary control center. The information currently obtained is that there are nearly fifty armed forces
Personnel protection.”
John's face became serious. Even though the armed men did not have mutant abilities, they all had weapons in their hands.
A well-trained armed team is enough to capture most human mutants, and now there are more than fifty, and it is also a well-defended control center. You can imagine the difficulty.
If the X-Men or the Brotherhood of Mutants were still there, then naturally there would be no need to fear this level of defense.
But they have all disappeared, and not for a day or two, but for several years without any news.
Today's mutants, even the powerful Polaris Lorna, may not be able to deal with an armed squad of fifty people.
The magnetic control range is limited and the strength is limited, and if the enemy does not use metal bullets, it is even more dangerous.
"If there is anything else going on, let's tell it together."
Burton nodded and said: "The control center is under round-the-clock surveillance. The cameras have almost no blind spots. It is easy to be discovered if you get close. The only thing we can use is at night. I will find a way to cut off their power supply, so that we can use them as backup
Before the power is turned on, rescue people or break down the defense."
He had a plan, but he didn't have enough manpower and powerful mutants to hold the battle, so he had to find John.
Burton himself is just an ordinary mutant, with gills on his armpits, the ability to breathe underwater, and four to five times more strength than ordinary people.
However, he cannot be invulnerable. On the contrary, John's mutant super body is even more powerful. Normal bullets cannot harm him and his strength is strong enough.
"Gonta and Asko will cut off the power. Karim, Eli, I, and you will go to rescue those mutants. The truck will be placed here to pick up the mutants. We will leave as soon as the people arrive."
Burton pointed to the location of a small forest about one kilometer southeast of Tower Road Control Point on the map.
The power outage, raid, and response were all arranged. Burton was indeed serious about this operation.
But John frowned slightly, still thinking about the feasibility of the plan.
"What are their mutant powers?"
Lorna suddenly looked at the man and woman behind Burton, Asco and Gonta, and her tone was very direct.
