Chapter 618 Crazy Person!

"What did you say!?"

Deep in the underground fortress, a roar instantly broke the silence.

In the central control room, William Stryker widened his eyes and looked at the soldier who was reporting intelligence to him in disbelief.

Although Stryker had experienced a lot of things in his life, he should be able to control his expression no matter what situation he encountered. However, at this moment, when he heard the soldier's report, even after a few seconds, he still couldn't calm down.

"Meteorite!?"

Stryker couldn't help but take two steps forward, his face twisted together.

It seemed that this look couldn't express his mood, so he repeated his question again.

"Meteorite, are you sure?!"

"Yes, yes sir."

The soldier was also desperate, and he didn't want to believe it was true, but the facts were in front of him, even he had to bite the bullet and report.

"According to the intelligence received by the search and rescue team at Yasroth Port, after our aircraft carrier fleet lost contact, they immediately dispatched sentry robots to investigate the situation.

But before they arrived at the designated location, the huge waves caused by the meteorite impact overturned their ships. It is reported that many people saw the trajectory of the meteorite falling, and the meteorite even carried extremely strong radiation, causing many equipment to fail."

After a pause, the soldier's voice weakened.

"By the time our people arrived at the designated location, there was nothing left there, but according to the investigation and comparison, it can be calculated that the time of the meteorite impact and the time when the aircraft carrier fleet lost contact was less than ten minutes apart.

Dr. Essex judged that the attack on the aircraft carrier fleet was closely related to the meteorite. The white light that appeared before they lost contact was most likely produced when the meteorite approached or hit."

"How could there be a meteorite!?"

Stryker still couldn't believe this result. He turned his head suddenly and looked at the big screen in the control room.

"Didn't our monitoring equipment give early warnings? What are those satellites and the space agency doing?! There was no reaction to such a big event as the meteorite falling?"

"The space agency responded that it was probably because the radiation from the meteorite affected the satellite's judgment, and the speed of the meteorite was very fast, faster than the meteorites we had observed before, so..."

"All excuses." Stryker cursed inwardly. That was an aircraft carrier fleet, and it was the most sophisticated team. Even if it was in the hands of the military, it was the ace of aces.

But such an ace army was not defeated by the Atlanteans when carrying out the military mission to destroy Atlantis. Instead, it was wiped out by the inexplicable meteorite before the battle began.

Stryker had never heard of such a weird thing in his life.

"Didn't they go to the sea to salvage? Such a huge aircraft carrier fleet, even if it was destroyed by a meteorite, it is impossible that nothing was left."

"Originally they had this idea, but the sea is the territory of Atlantis, the search and rescue team does not have strong combat capabilities, and the number of sentinel robots is not large, so they did not act rashly." The soldier said in a deep voice.

"Waste! All waste!"

Stryker cursed coldly, then picked up the water cup and drank a sip of water to suppress the anger in his heart.

"The eradication of those mutants has reached a critical period, and this kind of thing happened at this time. It's simply a shame."

Speaking of this, Stryker suddenly thought of something, and he asked in confusion.

"By the way, is it possible that this meteorite is the masterpiece of those mutants? After all, those freaks have too many superpowers. If one is born who can summon meteorites, it is not impossible to do it."

Hearing this, the soldier immediately replied.

"Sir, Dr. Essex has already thought about the speculation you mentioned, but he thinks the possibility of mutants having such power is too low.

Even if there is such a thing in the world, the brain wave amplifier will at least give an early warning and determine the location of the mutant, just like when Apocalypse was resurrected."

Hearing this, Stryker calmed down a little.

He used to be in charge of the affairs of the brain wave amplifier. Although Stryker has always disliked Charles Xavier, the old cripple, he has to admit that the guy's brain is really very useful.

Since Charles was deceived to Congress, Stryker has teamed up with other senior officials and secretly used a mutant named "Leech" to suppress Charles' telepathy. Then they began to torture Charles inhumanely.

In the end, under the influence of technology and the abilities of other mutant experimental subjects, Charles was completely brainwashed and became a crucial chess piece in the Sentinel Project.

For so many years, Charles has been under the control of the military. He was locked in a brain wave amplifier, which was converted into a secret military fortress to prevent the mutants from trying to save or kill Charles.

It can be said that with Charles in charge, almost the entire earth is firmly in the hands of Stryker and others.

Even if Magneto awakened Apocalypse, he was under Charles' observation, which enabled Stryker and others to make full preparations in advance and wipe him out with unstoppable force before Apocalypse recovered to its heyday.

After Magneto was killed, there was no longer any Level 4 mutant on Earth at this time. The remaining forces had no possibility of resistance except hiding in the cave and waiting for the judgment of the Sentinel robots.

And if a mutant with the ability to summon meteorites really appeared in this world, then the opponent's ability must be more than Level 4, and it is even possible to reach the same Level 5 level as Apocalypse.

Facing this level of mutants, Charles could not fail to detect it, so this conjecture should be over-concerned.

Stryker drank the water in the cup, knocked the cup heavily on the table, sighed, and turned his head to ask again.

"Could it be that Atlantis is behind this? Those underwater guys have some mysterious power, and the aircraft carrier fleet is targeting them. The underwater people are very likely to be the cause."

"I don't think it's possible, sir." The soldier shook his head slightly and said. "If those underwater people really have the ability to create such terrible destructive power, then why didn't they use it when Namor died in battle?

We have suspected whether Atlantis is a magical civilization, but in fact, according to the testimony of the wizards we hunted before and the dissection of the Atlanteans, the possibility of the Atlanteans mastering such a powerful power is too low."

"So what you mean is..."

Strike turned around again and looked at the soldier.

"Our aircraft carrier fleet was destroyed because of this coincidence that shouldn't exist?"

The soldier nodded honestly. "Sir, this is not without precedent in history. In ancient China, there was a man named Liu Xiu."

But before he could finish, Stryker interrupted him. "Don't tell me these meaningless things. China has detained some mutants so far. Haven't they said when they will extradite those criminals?"

Hearing this, the soldier shook his head helplessly. "A considerable number of those mutants are Chinese. Since the embassy was evacuated, they have clearly rejected our extradition policy."

Hearing this, Stryker clenched his fist tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

The soldier was ruthless and spoke slowly.

"Sir, do we want to..."

He didn't continue the rest of the words, but Stryker already understood what he meant.

Shaking his head slightly, Stryker turned to look at the soldier and said in a deep voice. "It's meaningless. Now is not the time to deal with them. By the way, how are the actions of other teams?"

"Most of the organized resistance forces have been broken, and some gatherings of evil wizards have also been destroyed. Only some remnants are still escaping. Our people are tracking their traces."

"Very good." Stryker nodded.

Finally, there was some good news, which gradually relieved his heart.

Originally, in his and other senior executives' plans, this war should not take so long.

With the sentinel robots they originally made from mutant test subjects, plus Charles and Cyclops who were deceived, in the eyes of Stryker and most people, they should be able to easily solve the mutant population.

But the fact is that this special operation against mutants has been going on for decades. Mutant resistance organizations around the world are extremely tenacious. Even though the sentinel robots are very destructive, the results of each operation are minimal.

It was not until this time that Stryker realized that they had underestimated mutants before.

When Professor X and Magneto were in a hostile state, the mutant population fell apart, which really gave people a sense of being able to be manipulated at will.

But when Charles was controlled by them and Magneto took the power alone, humans really saw how terrifying the true power of the united mutants was.

Of course, if they could unite earlier, the ending might be different, but as more and more mutants were besieged, the army of sentinel robots gradually formed combat effectiveness.

Even though Magneto turned the tide and took advantage of several small encounters, it did not play a key role in the situation of the entire battlefield.

Now that Magneto is dead, his body will be transformed into one of the most powerful sentinel robots. At that time, the remaining mutants will completely become lambs to be slaughtered.

Thinking of this, Stryker sneered.

"Continue to send people to Atlantis. We don't want to destroy it, but we can't let them meddle in other people's business. When the sentinel robots in the arsenal are produced, I will let the world know -

Who is the master!"
