Chapter 426 Hope and Despair

Today's superheroes don't have any decent bases. Because there is no fund and no venue, anything they do, even some trivial actions, is likely to attract the attention of the Magneto gang.

The regime controlled by Magneto has far more dominance over the bottom society than ordinary human governments. Based on the various strange abilities of mutants, Magneto's command and management can spread to almost any corner of America. He did a real top-down vertical management.

In the vast desert of Mexico, there is a base where superheroes hide out for the last time. This is the last refuge, the last bastion of resistance for the Rebels.

From the outside, this base looks like a border fort built by ancient civilization hundreds of years ago, but it is still abandoned and has been severely corroded and weathered by wind and sand. It looks exactly the same as the scenes that can be seen everywhere in the Gobi. This arouses no one's suspicions.

But under this fortress, there is a large underground palace. This was a natural cave before, and it was remodeled and expanded by Nightcrawler, Tony and others. In the end, the underground palace became an underground community that could accommodate a thousand people.

But now the staff of this underground palace has begun to be overloaded, and the mutants and superpowers among the ordinary people oppressed by Magneto, as well as ordinary people (non-mutant superpowers) began to escape from the city controlled by Magneto. They had nowhere to go, and in the end they were all taken underground by the Nightcrawlers.

It was originally intended to build a secret base of 1,000 people for the rebels, but in the end it was forced to accommodate nearly 2,500 people. Among them are many women and children who are not considered combat effectiveness. This puts the entire base under enormous pressure to survive.

This group of aging superheroes had to shoulder the final responsibility. The body that was already old and weak was burdened with more burdens. Let their already not so straight waist become more curved.

But at certain moments, it is still beneficial to have more people, such as what Tony is doing now, the creation of the Sentinel Project! Now Tony doesn't have his steel factory, nor Jarvis, the artificial intelligence that helps him assist him.

So many things must be done manually. These last people who survived and hid in the underground palace against Magneto united together again. They burst out all their enthusiasm with themselves, because they believed in Nightcrawler and Tony.

This time will be their best chance to overthrow Magneto's rule. Almost everyone who could help started to help. People with superpowers go out to help find materials, but how can women and children help with logistics and simple matters in the base.

The entire resistance organization worked in full swing. And in a place far away from this hustle and bustle. An old man lives in a leaden room in the base. He was very, very old, and even his down hair was turning white.

This is Charles Xavier, the ex-mutant leader of the moderate faction. He is lucky. Survived the defense of New York and the various brutal siege campaigns that followed.

He was unfortunate, as an old man. He had to bid farewell to his comrades and students again and again. Those other young mutants who joined him in rebelling against Magneto for his ideals.

Mutants depend on the degree of fusion of their X gene to determine their lifespan. The Ipsilon-class mutants with the lowest degree of X gene fusion are likely to live shorter than ordinary people.

Most of the perfectly integrated alpha-level mutants like Professor X have a lifespan of one hundred and fifty to two hundred years.

Living too long is not a good thing. Especially when you are constantly looking at those younger than yourself. Those students who admired and loved you left this world one by one earlier than you. Charles, Professor X, is starting to have mental problems.

In the beginning, it was just an intermittent attack, but in the last year or two, the Nightcrawlers had to lock him in a room made entirely of lead. Every time the professor's disease flares up, he can't control his mutant ability. His mutant ability is psychic invasion.

Once he can't control himself, his mental power starts to run wild and it will burn the brains of those around him. The professor's disease is called Alzheimer's disease.

In a more simple and popular way, this disease is Alzheimer's disease. It is undoubtedly a great irony that a person with the most important and dangerous brain in the world suffers from Alzheimer's.

In order to suppress his condition, Nightcrawler and Spider-Man had to go around to find medicine for him to control him. The only one in the entire base who has a certain ability to resist Professor X's mental shock is the Nightcrawler. So the task of delivering medicine to Charles was also given to him.

He walked into Charles' room with the packaged medicine as usual: "Professor, you should take the medicine." Charles, who was sitting in the corner, did not respond to him.

Nightcrawler had to walk up to Charles and said loudly to him, "It's time for you to take your medicine!"

"I'm not deaf." Nightcrawler's sudden loud shout startled Charles, who was already very old, and he said with some thoughts: "You have been very lively in recent months? You don't have time to play chess with me now. gone?"

Charles took the pills from Nightcrawler, mixed them with cold water and swallowed them. Without this psychiatric drug, Charles knew he would be in a state of insanity. He now spends more time asleep than awake.

But he didn't dare to sleep, because every time he went to sleep, he would dream of those dead students. He was resisting sleep in his heart, but he couldn't overcome the body's functional reaction. So the genetic system in Charles' body turned on a protective device.

That is to make his memory worse and worse, and let him slowly forget the previous things. That way he won't want to resist sleep.

Nightcrawler sat down on Charles' bed and whispered: "Yes Charles. Tony found a way to deal with Magneto. We found the Sentinel plan back then. Tony has browsed the entire Sentinel plan, and he thinks it can be implemented. Yes." Nightcrawler didn't hide Professor X about this kind of thing.

"It's a weapon designed to deal with mutants. I guess you might have heard of it before."

Charles pursed his mouth and did not speak. After a while, he asked in a trembling voice: "But Tony's brain is as useless as mine now. He is not the Iron Man of the past. I doubt whether he can solve a binary two now." plus the math problem of finding the square root.”

"Hawkeye got an infinite serum, at least within six months Tony's brain can return to his thirty-year-old state." Nightcrawler helped Charles clean up the room, including tidying up the messy bed and the garbage Charles threw on the ground .

Charles noticed that Nightcrawler's hands were shaking badly now, especially when he bent and squatted down, and he had to struggle for a long time every time. Charles turned his head to look at the wall on one side, so as not to let the night crawler see his eyes: "But there will be a price. The infinite serum has been discontinued a long time ago."

"Yes, this is the infinite serum from thirty years ago. The efficacy of the medicine is not very active. It can only be guaranteed for half a year. And the price is to speed up Tony's future aging." Nightcrawler's tone was calm as if he was talking about today's The burgers tasted good as well.

Charles buried his head in the quilt and said in a sleepy tone: "Is it worth it?"

"Tony is almost ninety. And I'm seventy, Charles. For us, everything doesn't matter anymore." Nightcrawler packed up the chess table and placed it opposite Charles. Didn't I play chess with you? Let's play a game today."

Because of the barrier of the liquid that suddenly appeared in his eyes, the black and white chess pieces became extremely blurry in Charles' eyes.

………………………

The Gobi Desert in Mexico outside the base.

"Wolverine, take a good smell here. Where does the smell of those people start and end." Red Tank brought a large number of men and Wolverine to the Gobi Desert.

When facing the choice that Red Tank said before, Logan had no choice. He could only choose to agree to help Red Tank for his grandson and granddaughter. He didn't know who he was dealing with. All he knew was that someone was going to bring out the Sentinels, and Magneto was going to wipe them out.

Magneto found him and gave him two paths. Either help Magneto, or say goodbye to his grandchildren! Logan could only choose to agree.

On the Gobi Desert, he used his super sense of smell to smell the abnormal smell of the air, and pointed a direction for the red tank. The red tank waved his hand, and the men driving the armed armored vehicle immediately moved in this direction.

……………………

New York.

Magneto, who was far away in New York, watched Logan's every move through the monitor, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It seems that Magneto has not aged in the past fifty years. Perhaps it is the nourishment of power, but he has a tendency to become younger and younger.

In the newly built Magneto Building, Magneto King Eric's office, besides him, there are two other mutants accompanying him to watch the screen on the monitor.

This is a man and a woman. The male mutant is an elegant-looking middle-aged man, while the female mutant is a man with long blonde hair and sapphire blue eyes. And a woman with a hot body and a sexy dress.

"Sebastian. Do you know what the most interesting thing in this world is?" Magneto smiled at the male mutant. The male mutant shook his head gracefully.

"That is to give others a hope, and then crush it in front of their faces!" A happy smile appeared on Magneto's face. After this sentence was finished, Magneto continued to talk about business.

"Now is the era of mutants, Sebastian. I hope that the Hellfire Club will be more peaceful in the future, and don't embarrass me."

The middle-aged mutant named Sebastian nodded: "Of course, we will abide by the agreement. After all, you are our current White King."
