Chapter 728 Why not take up arms?

Lorna is a wild woman, unruly and independent, which she completely inherited from Magneto.

She knows very well that the success or failure of a combat plan does not depend on the number of people, but on whether there are people who will hold back.

She understands Burton. Although his abilities are not very outstanding, the accompanying physical enhancement can also make him have more combat power than ordinary people.

But Lorna was not sure about the remaining few people's fighting ability.

For example, although Karim can control the soil, he had difficulty in using his mutant abilities before, which made Lorna feel that he might not be able to use them on the battlefield.

"You said Karim can control the soil, but can he control the cement and walls? How long will it take him to dig a passage?"

Karim looked troubled, and he hesitated: "It's not possible yet. I can only move the soil at the moment, but cement walls can't do it. It's possible to dig a tunnel, but it will take time, at least ten days, and I don't know if it will be possible."

Discovered by them."

Ten days?

Let alone ten days, the reason Burton called people over so urgently was because he was worried about an accident.

Not to mention ten days, I'm afraid that in another day or two, they will be able to ask questions, and then follow the clues and take over the farm.

Burton also had a wry smile on his face, and he said: "Gonta's ability is to release shock waves with both hands. The most powerful thing is to destroy a car, but it takes a while to accumulate power. Asko's ability is to simulate invisibility, which can make objects maintain

A period of mimetic invisibility.”

"I, Zhang, John and you will take action to rescue people. Gonta and Karim will cut off the power supply, and Asco will assist in the retreat."

Lorna decisively rearranged the plan and directly reduced the manpower for the raid.

But Burton hesitated: "Is it okay with just four people? Their defense is extraordinary."

"That's enough. No matter how many people are unable to exert their combat effectiveness, they are just a burden. His invisibility is more useful for evacuation than invasion."

They are here to save people, not to assassinate people. Once they enter, they will inevitably come into contact with mutants and enter various jurisdictions. At that time, invisibility will have no effect.

Moreover, a brief power outage will not allow them to sneak in slowly.

Burton secretly glanced at Zhang Ziyu, he was a new guy, he had never seen him before.

He knew the strength of John and Polaris Lorna, and their combat prowess was far superior to his, but he didn't know about Zhang Ziyu.

This operation is very important and there is only one chance, so it is inevitable that there will be worries in my heart.

"Okay, I'll do as you say and take action tonight."

In the end, Burton still didn't dare to offend Lorna Mao, so he easily asked Zhang Ziyu about his abilities and agreed to the matter.

Although they both belong to the mutant underground organization, the organizational structure is not as binding.

To put it bluntly, it was he who asked for help, not John and Lorna.

A battle plan was made, and the entire Marietta site also made changes, and everyone was ready to evacuate.

As long as the operation fails, they will be dispersed and relocated as quickly as possible. As for the reconstruction of the stronghold, that can only be discussed in the future.

Burton continued to monitor the situation at the control station, while Gunta and Karim went to check the conditions of the vehicles that would be used tonight, put on fake license plates, fill up the gas...everything had to be prepared.

.

"Take this, Burton prepared it for us."

Lorna handed the pistol to John and Zhang Ziyu, but she didn't take it herself.

After all, she has a special ability. As long as she has metal on her body, firing it is basically the same as a bullet.

"Lorna, are you sure this is America?"

Zhang Ziyu played with the pistol and unloaded the magazine. There were only six bullets in total. This lethality was probably not even able to kill the fish he usually caught in the lake.

"is there a problem?"

Lorna was confused for a moment and looked at Zhang Ziyu in confusion.

"A free America, with shootings every day, a country with big guns, and prison robberies, you just use this to deal with your teammates?"

Lorna couldn't help but laugh. Zhang Ziyu's summary was indeed a bit insightful. This is indeed the case for a country with guns.

"We rely on capabilities, not guns."

She explained, but Zhang Ziyu said: "The abilities of most mutants are not even comparable to a pistol."

She was stunned. Zhang Ziyu was right. It seemed that if everyone used a gun as a way to resist, it might not be a bad idea, and it could quickly form a fighting force...

"Lorna, Zhang, we are here to help fellow mutants, not for war and killing."

Honest John can't stand it any longer. What kind of devil is Zhang Ziyu? He wants all mutants to pick up guns. Are you going to start an uprising? Have another Boston tea party and let this country light up the new Stars and Stripes?

What made him even more unbearable was that this woman, Lorna, was actually moved. She was definitely moved.

As an honest person in the organization who inherited the ideas of the X-Men, he could not let the two of them chat and interrupted directly.

Lorna glanced at him, rather bored: "I'm just thinking about it, but we do need more weapons to protect ourselves, even if it's not for offense."

John had a headache: "But we have to talk about it later, and weapons also require a lot of money. The underground mutant organization does not have that much funding, and once weapons are involved, many donors may be swayed."

The funds for the underground mutant organization do exist. Although the stability is not high and the amount is not large, the sources are extremely complicated.

Some are donations from mutants, some are helped by ordinary people who stand on the mutant side, and some are remuneration from underground mutant organizations for extra money... There are various sources.

But what is relatively stable is that most of the material donations are from mutants and ordinary people who have jobs and businesses.

If a large number of firearms are involved, regardless of whether they can be obtained, if the wind changes and the signal is different, then it is very likely that some people will no longer support them.

Putting aside the matter of firearms and armed variants for the time being, Lorna and the three of them recharged their batteries and had dinner.

Finally, the news from Burton arrived. There was no change in the Tower Control Center, and the operation began.

They set off from the farm together, using three vehicles in total. John's one carried Zhang Ziyu, Lorna and Burton, a total of four people. The other two were trucks, the kind that transport containers, one large and one small, as much as possible.

If enough mutants are rescued, then they will be brought back together.

They set off from the farm and drove for more than an hour to a place about three kilometers away from the Tower Road Control Station, where they separated and headed to their respective locations.

Among them, the car belonging to Gonta and Karim first went to a power supply station five kilometers away and destroyed the power supply facilities there.

Asko went to the response location to wait, while John drove the car less than a kilometer away from the control center and hid it in the bushes.

The four people got out of the car and quickly approached the control center under the cover of darkness. About a hundred meters away, searchlights were already scanning regularly to explore the surrounding situation.

Getting closer, you can see the tall barbed wire fence and the control center inside. The patrol team of armed soldiers is clearly visible. They patrol in different positions in groups of three, and the defense is very tight.

The four people were hiding behind a bush, less than ten meters away from the barbed wire fence, hiding in the night.

Burton whispered: "When the power to the Gongta is cut off, we can break through the barbed wire fence and sneak in quickly under the cover of night to rescue them before they react."
