Chapter 435: First Meeting! Visiting the Academy!
"It's said to be a concentration camp, but it's actually just a simple tent. We are like prisoners, we are required to stay in the tent and not go anywhere."
Alex put his fingers into his hair and adjusted his hairstyle, then walked to the desk, looked at the newspaper on the table, and continued: "Later, a commander named Stryker found us and took us Arranged into a special department."
"To put it simply, it was like a mutant version of a special forces team. Just like that, I stayed in Vietnam for several years and participated in dozens of battles, large and small.
It wasn't until later that Stryker told us that he was going to take us out of that unfortunate place. At first I thought he was going to let us go home, but he actually said it wasn't time yet and planned to inject us with anesthetic and send us there. Go to a private institution. "
"Then what?" Hank asked.
"Then we started fighting." Alex picked up the newspaper, browsed the contents, and said:
"At that time, Mystique imitated an officer and took the lead in attacking Stryker. Although it was unexpected, we knew that this was probably the only chance to escape from there. Then, we worked together to knock down all the soldiers in the tent. , before anyone else could react, he boarded the plane to the United States."
"But unfortunately, as soon as the plane landed, we were surrounded by the troops who had been notified, and then we were imprisoned in the mutant research base on Three Mile Island."
"Have you never thought of coercing the pilot of the plane and asking him to make an emergency landing elsewhere?" Hank was a little puzzled. After all, this was a good escape opportunity.
"It's useless. I tried it. There is a positioning device on the plane."
Alex raised the newspaper in his hand and asked curiously: "Where did this Jere company come from? Why are the newspapers full of articles praising it?"
"The founder of this company is a guy named Jervis. His superhero, Homelander, once saved the president during the White House incident. Currently, this superhero is as popular as some Hollywood superstars. .
Moreover, Jervis started his career in newspapers. It is said that he holds shares in several large news groups such as the New York Times and the Washington Post. It is no exaggeration to say that with this guy's influence, he can even manipulate the presidential election. . "
Of course, Hank's words are a bit exaggerated, but they are not without basis. After all, Xia Shang holds the right to speak in one hand and a powerful fighting force like the people of the motherland in the other. Even the US government does not dare to break up with him easily.
"I have been following him for a long time. To be honest, the process of his fortune is very strange. In less than a year, he has transformed from the owner of an ordinary newspaper to a giant in the American newspaper industry. I suspect he may have used superpowers, such as mental manipulation or something like that.”
Hank glanced at Charles in the wheelchair and continued: "The professor once said that if the superpowers of mutants are not controlled, it will be a disaster for the entire world."
Hank frowned and his tone was a little heavy.
"They're here."
Suddenly, Charles, who was looking out the window, raised his hand and tapped his temple, then turned the direction of his wheelchair and said to Hank: "Push me to the lobby on the first floor. We have to meet Mr. Jervis."

At this time, a black car slowly parked in front of the college.
Rather than being called a college, it is actually more like a Baroque-style manor. There are two stone pillars made of masonry at the door. The top is conical, a bit like a lighthouse, and between the two stone pillars is an arched door. There is an oak door, and on the edge of the door, there is a clearly written and neatly wiped bronze plaque with one line of words written on it, [Weizer Academy for Geniuses]
"It's such a big manor. The owner of this family must be very rich." The card king in a windbreaker opened the car door and couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the magnificent building in front of him.
Then, he walked to the back of the car and lifted the trunk lid.
Deadpool, whose mouth was wrapped with tape, was seen lying in the trunk, looking at Gambit with extremely resentful eyes.
"Don't look at me with that look. It's too damn penetrating. Who made you talk non-stop on the plane? There's no other way to put tape on your mouth." Gambit King shrugged, and then tore it off Remove the tape on Deadpool's mouth.
Sure enough, in the next second, countless trash talk spewed out of Deadpool's mouth, and in an instant he greeted all the eighteen generations of Gambler's ancestors.
"Just wait for me. If I don't pee in your cup from now on, I'll be considered kind-hearted."
"Don't worry, I will only drink canned drinks from now on."
Gambit picked up Deadpool, whose hands and feet were not yet fully developed, and put him into the stroller that was folded aside, then opened the frame of the stroller and placed it on the ground.
"Quiet, I don't want to hear you talking trash."
Xia Shang took out the key, stepped out of the car, and looked at the building in front of him calmly.
Then, he pushed open the tan wooden door and walked inside. On both sides of the brick road, there were two huge lawns. You could see several mutants walking on them, and at the end of the road was the main building of the manor. It is also a Baroque-style building, and there are two auxiliary buildings connected to both sides of the main building. The overall shape is like an open book page.
The door to the main building was open. Hank and Alex stood on either side of Charles, looking at the approaching Xia Shang and his party with smiles on their faces.
"Welcome to Weizel Genius Academy. Do you need me to show you around?"
Hank stepped forward and took the initiative to say hello to Xia Shang.
"Of course, I hope our sudden visit this time won't cause you any trouble." Xia Shang smiled and nodded, then looked at Charles who was sitting in a wheelchair.
Unlike Charles during the bald period, the current Charles still has hair, and his hair is not short. However, perhaps because he has just come out of a decadent state, at this time, Charles' hair looks a bit messy, and he still has a beard.
"Nice to meet you, Professor Charles." Xia Shang walked up to Charles, smiled, and extended his right hand.
"Start parsing."
At the same time, Xia Shang gave instructions to the panel without hesitation, because he came here mainly to see Charles' current ability level.
After all, the current Charles still has his hair, and his potential may not have been fully stimulated. Just like Magneto, these two guys are getting stronger as they get older. Unless they are strengthened by Apocalypse, it will be difficult for them to do so at their current age. Unlock the full potential of your capabilities.
"Me too, welcome to Weizer Academy for Geniuses, Mr. Jervis." (End of Chapter)
