Chapter 618 Crazy person!
"What did you say!?"
Deep in the underground fortress, a roar instantly broke the original silence.
In the centralized control room, William Stryker's eyes widened and he looked at the soldier in front of him who was reporting intelligence to him with disbelief.
Although Stryker has experienced a lot in his life, it stands to reason that he should be able to control his expression no matter what situation he encounters. However, at this moment, when he heard the soldier's report, even after a few seconds, he Still can't calm down my heart.
"Meteorite!?"
Stryker couldn't help but took two steps forward, his face twisted together ferociously.
As if this appearance could not express his mood, he repeated his question again.
"Meteorite, are you sure?!"
"Yes, yes sir."
The soldier was also desperate, and he didn't want to believe that this was true, but the facts were in front of him, and even he had no choice but to bite the bullet and report it.
“According to the intelligence received by the search and rescue team at Yasilot Port, after our aircraft carrier fleet lost contact, they immediately dispatched sentinel robots to investigate the situation.
But before they reached the designated location, the huge waves caused by the meteorite impact overturned their ship. It is reported that many people saw the trajectory of the meteorite, and even the meteorite contained extremely strong radiation. This caused many devices to malfunction. "
There was a pause, and the soldier's voice weakened.
"By the time our people arrived at the designated location, there was nothing left there. However, based on investigation and comparison, it can be calculated that the difference between the time of the meteorite impact and the time when the aircraft carrier fleet lost contact was less than ten minutes.
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 caused by the approach or impact of the meteorite. "
"How could there be a meteorite!?"
Stryker still couldn't believe the result. He turned his head sharply and looked at the big screen in the main control room.
"Didn't our monitoring equipment provide early warning? What do those satellites and space agencies do?! There is no response at all to such a big event like a meteorite falling?"
"The space agency responded that it is most likely because the radiation carried by the meteorite affected the satellite's judgment, and the meteorite was very fast, faster than the meteorites we have observed in the past, so..."
"It's all excuses." Stryker cursed secretly. It was an aircraft carrier fleet, and it was the most sophisticated team. Even if it was placed in the hands of the military, it would be the ace among aces.
But such an ace division was not defeated by the Atlanteans when they were on a military mission to destroy Atlantis. Instead, they were wiped out by an inexplicable meteorite before they even started fighting. .
Stryker had never heard of such a weird thing in his life.
"Didn't they go to sea to salvage? It is absolutely impossible for such a huge aircraft carrier fleet to leave nothing behind even if it is destroyed by meteorites."
"Originally they had this idea, but under the sea is the territory of Atlantis. The search and rescue team does not have strong combat capabilities, and there are not many sentinel robots, so they did not act rashly." The soldier said solemnly. said.
"Trash! They're all trash!"
Stryker cursed coldly, then picked up the water glass and drank some water to suppress the anger in his heart.
"The eradication of those mutants has reached a critical stage. It is a shame that something like this happened at this time."
Speaking of this, Stryker suddenly thought of something, and he asked doubtfully.
"By the way, is it possible that this meteorite is the work of those mutants? After all, those freaks have too many superpowers. If someone is born who can summon meteorites, it is not impossible."
Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately replied.
"Sir, the speculation you mentioned has been conceived by Dr. Essex, but he believes that the possibility of mutants being able to possess such power is too low.
Even if we take a step back and say that there really is such a being in the world, then the brainwave amplifier will at least give an early warning and determine the mutant's location, just like when Apocalypse resurrected. "
After hearing this, Stryker calmed down a little.
He used to be personally responsible for the brainwave amplifier. Although Stryker had always disliked the old cripple Charles Xavier, he had to admit that that guy's brain was really useful.
Since deceiving Charles into Congress, Stryker teamed up with other senior officials to secretly suppress Charles' telepathy with a mutant named 'Leech', and 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 vital pawn of the Sentinel Project.
For so many years, Charles has been under the control of the military. He was sealed in a brainwave amplifier, and it was transformed into a secret military fortress to prevent 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, it was under Charles' observation, which allowed Stryker and the others to make full preparations in advance and destroy Apocalypse with unstoppable force before it returned to its heyday. .
After Magneto was killed, there was no longer any Level 4 mutant on the earth at this time. The remaining forces had no resistance except huddled in caves, waiting for the sentry robots to judge. possibility.
And if a mutant with a summoned meteorite really appears in this world, then the opponent's ability will definitely exceed the fourth level, and may even reach the same fifth level as Apocalypse.
Faced with this level of mutants, it was impossible for Charles to fail to detect them, so he probably was overly worried about this conjecture.
Stryker drank up the water in the cup, knocked the cup heavily on the table, sighed, and turned around to ask again.
"Is it possible that it's Atlantis's method? Those underwater guys have some mysterious powers, and the aircraft carrier fleet is targeting them this time. Those underwater people are very suspicious."
"I think it's unlikely, sir." The soldier shook his head slightly and said. "If those undersea people were really capable of creating such horrific destructive power, then why didn't they use it when Namor died in the battle.
We have doubted whether Atlantis was a magical civilization, but in fact, based on the testimonies of the wizards we hunted before and the dissection of Atlantean bodies, the Atlanteans possessed The possibility of such a powerful force is simply too low. "
"So what you mean is"
Stryker turned around again and looked at the soldier.
"Our aircraft carrier fleet was destroyed because of this coincidence that should not exist?"
The soldier nodded honestly. "Sir, this matter has no 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 is still detaining some mutants. Have they not 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."
Upon hearing this, Stryker clenched his fists tightly and veins popped out on the back of his hands.
The soldier felt cruel and spoke slowly.
"Sir, do we want it?"
He didn't continue what he said, 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 makes no sense. 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 defeated, and some gatherings of cult wizards have also been destroyed. Only a few defeated soldiers are still absconding, and our people are tracking their traces."
"Very good." Stryker nodded.
Finally there was some good news, which gradually made him feel relieved.
Originally, according to his and other high-level plans, this war should not have taken such a long time.
Relying on the sentry robots they originally created from mutant experimental subjects, plus the deceived Charles and Cyclops, in the eyes of Stryker and most people, they should be able to defeat the mutant population in a devastating manner.
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 full of destructive power, the results obtained from each operation are minimal. .
It was only then that Stryker discovered that they had underestimated mutants before.
When Professor
But when Charles was controlled by them and Magneto took over the power, mankind truly saw how terrifying the true power of the united mutants was.
Of course, if they could unite earlier, the outcome might be different, but with more and more mutants being rounded up, the Sentinel robot army gradually formed a fighting force.
Although Magneto turned the tide and took advantage of several small encounters, this did not play a key role in the overall battlefield situation.
Now, Magneto is dead, and his body will be transformed into one of the most powerful sentinel robots. At that time, the remaining mutants will be completely reduced to lambs to be slaughtered.
Thinking of this, Stryker sneered.
"Continue to send people to Atlantis. I don't want to destroy it, but I can't let them meddle in their own business. When the production of the sentry robots in the arsenal is completed, I will let the whole world know——
Who is the master! "
