Chapter 34 Farewell

When all the preparatory work is done, the next thing will be a matter of course. m()

As expected by Shen Yi, Professor X's announcement did not arouse everyone's attention and trust at first, but the intrusion incident that happened four hours later shocked the world very quickly.

Can't help being shocked.

Trees that can move, machines that can deform, resurrection of the dead, rebirth of the undead, angels descending, toys into soldiers, everything makes the world feel scared.

At the same time, all the disasters on the earth have stopped, as if it has entered the moment of returning to the light, Professor X's predictions have been confirmed one by one, and the world is also panicked.

The number of mutants rushing to the academy has suddenly increased. Whether they believe it or not, this place has become everyone's only hope, and the mission has officially started.

This is also one of the important reasons why Shen Yi asked Chu Sheng and the others to rob the world.

Prophecy is only incidental, space stability is only incidental, mission is fundamental.

With snatching, there is a formal mission;

With official missions, you can increase the favorability of all mutants and reduce the cost of bringing them out.

Just like the Second Airborne Battalion back then.

Of course, it is not an easy task to increase the goodwill of everyone like this, if not for the collapse of the world, Shen Yi would not be able to do it easily.

Even if the world collapses, he still needs time to improve further.

Good thing they have 72 hours.

During this period of time, what Shen Yirou had to do was very simple - try to eliminate the various invading troops created by Lao Meng, the gardener, and the staff as much as possible.

Lao Meng and others who were invited to invade performed a big villain. Various monsters took turns to invade New York, invade the academy, and invade everything that could be invaded, except for the forces of the Broken Blade team that the task required them to invade.

Under the deliberate instruction of Lao Meng and the others, a large number of undead and various demons and ghosts were produced, and then swept the whole city like a tide, spreading towards the Mutant Academy.

Naturally, it is impossible for the government to sit idly by, but how can ordinary people deal with adventurers of the fourth level of difficulty?

Even if they use nuclear bombs,

It is impossible to pose a threat to adventurers.

Wen Rou and Shen Yi really played the role of saviors. They killed and wiped out to their heart's content, and the powerful strength they displayed shocked all the mutants.

People may follow those who are kind to them, but those who are more willing to follow are the strong.

The former is just emotion, education, and morality, while the latter is nature, an instinctive pursuit of powerful power.

Favorability is not only reflected by kindness, common values, worship of the strength of the strong, etc. are sometimes more than the former - the most typical example is that chasing stars can chase even parents.

Therefore, when the two are combined, the favorability of Wen Wen, Shen Yi and others will increase rapidly.

Three days is enough for Wenrou Shen Yi to create his own reputation among the vast majority of mutants who have heard the news. This reputation may not be as full as the Second Airborne Battalion back then, but it is enough for them to use it. Recruit the mutants you need at a low enough price.

Of course, there are still many mutants who don't trust Shen Yi's gentleness.

But what does it matter?

There are many mutants in this world, but the funds of the Broken Blade team are limited after all.

Just those who choose to trust them is enough for them to delete and keep busy.

The Mutant Academy became the gathering center for all mutants. A large number of elite employees of Norman Corporation were assigned here to use their spare time to record, test, and rate the abilities of all mutants.

As for Shen Yi and the others, they will choose the one that is most useful to them, and when they leave, they will decide who to take away based on their strength and price ratio.

This is also the last madness in this world. Tens of thousands of mutants gathered here from all over the world in three days, just like a unique job fair in heaven, the selected ones will get the last ticket to escape from the doomsday world .

Serena and Shen Yi are in charge of the recruitment work, and they will divide all mutants into three categories. One is fighting, one is supporting, and the other is mixed, that is, those who can both fight and support, and then make files and record them according to their level.

"Name." There was a small desk in the courtyard of the college, and Serena was sitting behind the desk and seriously filling out the forms for the registered mutants.

"I...Isolt...Hammerton, I'm from Manhattan, I heard Professor X's announcement that the end of the world...is coming, right...you are here to save us..." In front of Linna, a thin middle-aged man with a wide-brimmed hat said nervously.

"Ability." Serena ignored him. Everyone who came to report would chatter about the end of the world. Usually they are thrown out directly by Shen Yi.

No matter who comes, no matter what ability he has, no matter how many levels he has.

"Dig... dig a hole," the man stammered.

"Dig a hole?" Serena looked up in surprise. .

"Yes... yes." Nervousness made him stutter even more: "I... I don't know... why... I just... know how to dig holes, very fast... Don't believe me, look!"

He rushed over, pawed his hands on the ground, and started pawing. In the blink of an eye, he had dug a big hole in the yard, and the ground was shaking, and the man had come out from the other side. Shen Yi noticed that he was not He was digging a hole, but no matter what touched his hand, he would easily pick it off.

A group of queuing people laughed one after another, and someone whispered: "So it's a gopher."

Serena shook her head regretfully, and Shen Yi suddenly lowered her head: "This is not bad."

"But this ability is useless." Serena was surprised.

"No, it's useful. Let him go to mine, he can replace several workers, and the price is cheaper than them."

Serena rolled her eyes, and hurriedly wrote a few lines on the file: "Congratulations, you passed the initial review, and then it's up to you. Trust and gratitude, this is the basis for you to leave, remember this point."

"Thank you so much!" The man bowed to Serena again and again, it seemed that he really believed that the end was coming.

"Next."

A burly man came up: "My name is Tiger, a level 3 mutant. My ability is an iron fist. I can smash a car with one punch. I am much stronger than that gopher."

"Really?" Shen Yi came over and looked at the muscles in his arms: "It's not bad."

"of course……"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yi punched him in the face, and the big man rolled his eyes and passed out.

Shen Yi shook his head: "It's useless."

Even a punch with one-tenth of his strength can't hold up, so forget it.

Naturally, someone nearby dragged the big man out.

"Next." The indifferent voice continued.

A little girl came up and said crisply: "I can sense the movement underground."

"Only underground?" Serena asked.

"Yes... yes..." the little girl said shyly, "but the distance is very far, and I can remember what I have sensed, and I can tell what animals are moving underground, even if I have never seen them before. , I can remember seeing them once, I often play with them, and I even named them."

She held an earthworm in her hand: "It's called Trish..."

Low laughter sounded again from the crowd.

"You passed." Shen Yi nodded this time without waiting for Serena to speak.

The little girl who can sense underground activity and tell what kind of creature it is means she can spot lurkers, and if the watchtower is breached, she's the best active watchtower.

"You are very useful, but remember not to name those guys anymore." Shen Yi laughed.

The little girl stuck out her tongue and ran away happily.

Someone came up again, it was a little boy: "My name is Jeremy, and my ability is to reduce the power consumption of all equipment... I can save hundreds of dollars in electricity bills for my family every month... My mother never Turn off the TV."

No one laughed at the little boy this time.

People have already seen that the Mutants who tend to be force-oriented may be the ones Shen Yi pays the least attention to.

Sure enough, Shen Yi's eyes suddenly widened: "What did you say? Is it to save electricity?"

"No... it's the consumption of all the equipment, I mean... if your car wants to save some fuel, I can help, don't know if it's useful?"

"That is to reduce energy consumption? This is simply fantastic, you were hired directly!" Shen Yi said excitedly, and then turned around and ordered: "Arrange him the best room and the best treatment!"

Reduce energy consumption!

This ability is too important!

Shen Yi has already decided that no matter how much the little boy likes him, he will be taken down no matter how much he spends, so he is not stingy with his enthusiasm. This is a good way to increase his goodwill, especially for this kind of little boy .

Children need to feel valued!

In this world of mutants, the real valuables are those useless pieces that were once looked down upon!

Of course, it doesn't mean that all mutants on the force side are rejected.

A mutant can make the fired bullets or shells more powerful, and he is suitable for operating a turret.

A mutant can absorb and create a powerful electric current, the strength of the current depends on the strength of the absorption, he is one of the few mutants that can effectively damage the Zerg.

A mutant can create a small cave-in, which is useless but can confuse the Zerg.

The real surprises are those auxiliary mutants, ultra-distance detection, danger perception, repairing machinery, etc., Shen Yi found six mutants with Jerry's activation ability alone, although they didn't have Jerry Rui is so powerful, but the combined repair ability is not weak.

The recruitment went on for three days, and about 24,000 mutants signed up. In the end, there were 12,000 mutants left, of which about 9,000 were support types, about 1,000 were combat types, and two Qian is a combat auxiliary type.

The money Shen Yi brought to poach people this time was one million, even if a mutant had one hundred points, he would not be able to hire twelve thousand.

Mutants are stronger than soldiers, and have lower trust in Shen Yi than soldiers. It is completely impossible to have 100 points. In order to retain these talents as much as possible, the method Shen Yi chose is to divide these people into two categories.

One is permanent recruitment, which belongs to oneself like calling soldiers.

One type is temporary recruitment, which cannot be taken away from the bloody city, just like point recruitment.

Combat types are basically included in temporary recruitment, and some with particularly strong abilities and high trust in themselves are permanently recruited.

In this way, he can basically eat the 12,000 people.

Heaven's recruitment work is still going on, but it has gradually come to an end.

Those who believe in them and are willing to come have already come, and those who do not believe or are unwilling to come will not come again.

Time passed quietly in the busy, and it was the third day in a blink of an eye.

Shen Yi did not preside over the recruitment work today.

He sat on the railing of the roof above the Mutant Academy, quietly looking at the distant sky.

Perhaps because of the stability of the space, the sky is still clear, but Shen Yi vaguely felt a wind of energy blowing here through the boundless sky.

The world is getting smaller.

If you take the Pioneer at this time, you may find that the universe is shrinking...

There was an hour left before the invasion would be over.

At that time, everything will return to nothingness.

Just then, Little Jerry came over.

"The professor wants to see you," he said.

"Really." Shen Yi glanced at the bloody coat of arms, and found Professor X's recruitment candidate screen.

Favorability is 150, 200,000 points are required for permanent ownership, 20,000 points are required for employment recruitment, 10,000 points are required for equal recruitment, and 4,000 points are required for non-attributed temporary recruitment.

But at the bottom, there is another line of prompts: Refuse to follow!

In other words, although Professor X has a good impression of him, he has already made a decision to refuse to follow.

Shen Yi sighed: "I'll go right away."

He turned and walked towards the professor's room.

The professor is already waiting for him.

Seeing Shen Yi approaching, Professor X beckoned him to sit down.

"Professor, I suggest you think again." Shen Yi said seriously: "Maybe some of the words I said before were not pleasant, and here I would like to express my sincerest apologies to you. You are an elder I respect very much. If you Well, I still hope..."

"Remember what we said when we first met?" the professor said suddenly.

Shen Yi froze for a moment, then shook his head.

Even if he has an extraordinary memory, it is impossible to remember what the professor said to him more than ten years ago.

"Mind labyrinth." The professor said slowly.

Only then did Shen Yi remember that the first time he met Professor X, the professor used the ability of the mind maze on him, and that was when he saw the girl in white again.

"At that time, I told you... the maze of the mind is a manifestation of a person's true mind. I have seen your performance, and I am sure that you are not a superstitious person who abuses force."

"Yes, Professor, thank you for your evaluation of me."

"But when you think it is necessary to use force, you will never hesitate. You are a man of strong will, and I have rarely seen someone with such strong will... If something stands in your way one day Go ahead and you will kick it away without hesitation. It may not be your purpose to break the peace agreement, but if breaking the peace agreement will help you achieve your goals, you will do it. Yes, this That's what I see, and that's what worries me."

Memories from the past floated up like flowing water, and Shen Yi remembered that this was exactly what Professor X had said to him back then.

Shen Yi was stunned.

It took him a while before he said, "I didn't break the peace agreement."

"Then who are those intruders?"

Shen Yi was dumbfounded.

Professor X seems to have no intention of pursuing it.

He just continued in a calm tone: "We are not the same way after all. Thank you for letting me know the truth of this world, but since I existed, peace has been my goal. In order to survive, go to another battlefield to kill , that's not what I want."

"I understand, professor, I'm sorry for deceiving you." Shen Yi bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Shen Yi felt very sorry for Professor X's reluctance to follow him.

This is a great old man, even if it is only because of his feelings, it is enough for Shen Yi to work hard to save him.

But it was his own utilitarianism that spoiled it all.

After all, not everything in the world is measured by interests.

Compared with the world of bloody city where all the talk and intrigues are frequent, at that moment Shen Yi suddenly felt that the world here is more real...

"I'm old and don't want to leave this world, but some people don't deserve to die."

Shen Yi was astonished.

The door was pushed open, and a group of plot characters such as Wolverine, Phantom Cat, Rascal, Storm, Iceman, Kurt Wagner, and even Magneto appeared at the door.

If you look at their options at this time, you will find that there is actually a line below each of them: refuse to follow.

But the same refusal to follow is different for different people.

Magneto is the big SS of this world, with his arrogant personality, he is naturally unwilling to serve others.

The other mutants followed Professor X's decision.

Professor X's voice sounded: "Since this world exists, it is necessary to leave some people behind to prove its existence. Jerry and you have a very good relationship, and he is willing to go with you. You can choose among them." alone."

Shen Yi looked at Wolverine, who raised his chin arrogantly.

Shen Yi smiled and shook his head, then looked at Xiaonian, the little girl lowered her head, as if unwilling to meet his gaze.

He looked at Bobby the Iceman, who shook his head slightly.

Their eyes fell on Phantom Cat and Kurt Wagner, their eyes flickered, and they all turned away.

Finally, Shen Yi stopped his gaze on Storm Girl.

He said: "I hope you can choose to follow me. Your abilities will come in handy on the interstellar battlefield... Don't let their deaths become meaningless."

Storm's face was pale.

She looked at Professor X, who nodded slightly.

Storm Girl's body trembled, and she finally knelt down on one knee in front of Shen Yi: "Willing to follow you, master!"

On the storm girl's candidate list, refusing to follow has turned into following to the death.

The change of this reminder also made the recruitment price of Storm Girl drop directly and significantly.

But Shen Yi didn't feel any joy about it.

Without another word, he walked out of the house.

In the room, Professor X looked at the distant sky.

Cracks appeared in the blue sky like glass, getting bigger and bigger...

In the setting sun, a group of mutants looked towards the sun, and the light became less dazzling.

They are waiting, welcoming, the final destruction of this world.

Standing on a high place in the distance, Shen Yi looked at the professor in the room under the setting sun. The light elongated his figure, making him appear taller and more sacred.

They are a group of true warriors, bravely facing the coming of death.

Compared to them, Shen Yi felt that the adventurers were simply a group of wretched and dirty creatures!

Youyou sighed, calmed down, Shen Yi said: "It's almost time, Gentle, you take them away first!"

"Aren't you going?"

Shen Yi shook his head: "I still have some things to deal with."

As he said that, he also sat down, looked up at the sunset, and waited for the moment of destruction to come.

PS: Finally caught up.

I got up early in the morning and started to work on the circuit. I couldn’t find an electrician to do it myself, but I, who was electric blind, did it by myself. Wow Kaka, I’m too great-in fact, it’s just to change the fuse again, but this time even the fuse The sockets were all changed, so I bought the wrong one once, and ran again, and it took two hours to get it done.

I finally decided that I still don't believe what the downstairs said was a circuit problem, or it was fine before, and he said that copper wire can also be used, but it burned?

Well, in fact, that buddy is also blind, who knows that he sells chaos.

Let’s look at tonight’s details, please don’t have any accidents, it’s too expensive to sleep in the bathroom without air conditioning, 148 a night... Did I say something more?

Cough cough, it's really just a pure massage!

Well, finally, today is just this update, I have something to go out in the afternoon, and I will continue to work hard tomorrow.
