“You can’t breach it yet?”
Outside the main control room of the base, Stryker felt dizzy looking at the control room door that was still intact after several blasts.
In order to ensure the safety of the main control room, he had deliberately added a small amount of Adamantium alloy into the door. Unexpectedly, it ended up trapping himself.
When he glanced at the surveillance cameras, he suddenly saw his most proud work, Wolverine, appearing in the floodgate. Even he couldn’t hold back and let him in to the base.
It was only after meeting him in person that Stryker realized that it wasn’t actually Wolverine, but it was too late.
Mystique transformed into him and sneaked into the main control room, locking the main control door behind her.
“Colonel, we wouldn’t be able to breach it with only this much. We need to use at least ten times.”
The captain responsible for directing the door blast explained.
“But if we get more powerful explosive, the dam might collapse.”
Stryker frowned. If there was a problem with the dam and the lake water rushed into the base, all of them would die.
“Abandon this place, go to the Cerebro, and start the mutant extermination plan.”
“But Colonel, the Cerebro has just been installed and has not been tested yet. If there is any problem…”
Stryker interrupted the captain with his hand.
“It’s too late. Since Mystique is here, Magneto might not be far away.”
He knew Magneto’s abilities all too well, and it was precisely because of his understanding that he knew how terrifying Magneto could be. His men couldn’t delay him for long.
Sure enough, before he and his men had left the main control room door, he heard the news over the intercom that all the guards on the gate had been wiped out.
“Stop them at all costs!”
Helpless, he could only issue suicidal orders to the remaining guards.
The longer they could hold on, the more likely it is that his plan would be completed.
Led by Magneto, Hawking and the others swept through the guards and reached the control room with little resistance.
Even without Phoenix to find the base or the stealth plane, Magneto and Mystique might’ve still been able to crush the entire base.
The troops at Stryker’s base posed no threat to Magneto at all, and Lady Deathstrike who was guarding him was also defeated by Magneto.
“Have you found Charles?”
Magneto used his power to rip the metal door of the main control room off of its hinges and then turned to Mystique, who was controlling the computer.
Mystique pressed a few buttons and the three-dimensional projection of the base immediately popped up, with a marker on a room deep within the base.
“Most of the power in the base is now being sent to this room. We should find Cerebro there.”
“Can you shut it down from here?”
Storm asked.
Mystique shook her head:
“It has an independent switchboards.”
At this moment, Hawking saw Wolverine turn around and silently leave the main control room.
He knew that Wolverine saw Stryker on the surveillance camera preparing to evacuate the base, so Wolverine wanted to confront Stryker and figure out his past.
Back then, Wolverine was hit between the eyebrows by an Adamantium bullet from Stryker. He lost more than a hundred years of memory and had been living in a hazy state until now.
Wolverine wanted all his memories back.
“Piotr, you go and catch Stryker with Logan. Maybe we will need him later.”
Hawking gave an order to Colossus. Colossus glanced at Storm and saw Storm nodded. Colossus then left the main control room.
Why did he let Colossus help Wolverine?
Because Colossus and Wolverine would just be defeated instantly by Magneto. They would be better off capturing Stryker, so he wouldn’t cause further problems.
Lady Deathstrike would be an obstacle for Wolverine alone, since she had the same Adamantium bones and self-healing ability.
In the movie, Deathstrike had better combat skills than Wolverine, and was only defeated by Wolverine’s experience. She died while an Adamantium solution was injected into her.
Who knows, maybe this time Wolverine would be the one getting injected with fresh Adamantium.
Even Captain America had become Captain Britain, so it is better to be safer on some things and not blindly believe in the plot.
In the past two days together, he had quite a good impression of Wolverine. If he died here, he would have one less friend to talk to in the future.
As for why Storm agreed?
One is that she trusts Hawking’s wisdom, and the other is that since she already knows that Magneto may betray them. They might yet need Stryker to open the door.
“I forced the schematics of Cerebro out of Stryker in the prison. I know how to turn it off.
“Mystique and I will go rescue Charles, while you go capture Stryker and deal with the soldiers in the base. “
Magneto suggested.
Storm narrowed her eyes:
“No, I think it’s better if we go together.”
“Oh well.”
Magneto and Mystique looked at each other with an inexplicable look in their eyes.
They didn’t expect Storm to be so alert.
But it wasn’t time to quarrel, at least until the crisis is resolved.
“Load Goku template!”
Hawking silently loaded the protagonist template.
From now on, Magneto may betray them at any time, so he must ensure his own strength and safety.
“You remind me of a mutant called Psylocke.”
Magneto raised his eyebrows when he saw Hawking with his hair standing up, his clothes changing, and a stick on his back.
Psylocke was a very powerful mutant who can use energy to strengthen her body and transform into various weapons to fight. He feels that Hawking and Psylocke belonged to the same category of mutant.
“Is she good at fighting? If she can fight, I’ll be sure to spar with her when she has time!”
Influenced by the Goku template, Hawking’s eyes lit up.
Magneto smiled:
“She’s quite good at fighting, but it’s a pity that she doesn’t belong to my brotherhood. She works as the subordinate of the black market mutant businessman Caliban.”
“I know you are also very powerful. Do you have time to spar?”
Hawking stared at Magneto, his strong battle-lust overflowing.
Magneto is powerful. That’s why the Goku template made him eager to fight Magneto.
Fortunately, he still had his own reason to suppress him.
“With me? There might be a chance.”
Magneto was stunned for a moment, before smiling.
Everyone walked through the base, and after getting rid of several waves of soldiers, they soon arrived near the Cerebro.
“Careful!”
Suddenly, two red laser beam fired right at them.
It was Cyclops, controlled by Stryker with cerebrospinal fluid.
