Chapter 282: Raid on the Base

~9 min read 1,748 words

The plane slowly landed next to the dam. Ye Nan took Logan and Nightcrawler and got off the plane together.

"Are we really going to do this? That guy named Magneto is very dangerous." Nightcrawler whispered in Ye Nan's ear, a hint of fear in his voice.

"That guy Magneto likes to act according to his own will and absolutely cannot be judged by common sense." Wolverine Logan also said in a low voice.

"Any power, any pressure, is useless to him. He always acts without regard for the consequences."

"It is precisely because of this that I cooperate with those X-Men." Ye Nan smiled gently, looking back at the plane that followed Ye Nan's plane and landed.

After cooperating with Magneto, Ye Nan contacted the X-Men and said that he wanted to cooperate.

The X-Men, who only had four mutants—Jean Grey, Rogue, Iceman, and Pyro—agreed to Ye Nan's proposal not long after.

"Their cooperation with us can help us contain Magneto."

"I suppose you also know that Magneto and Professor X have always been at odds. Their philosophies and attitudes toward life make it impossible for them to get along."

"So I use the X-Men to contain Magneto, giving Magneto some concerns."

"Can they contain Magneto?" Nightcrawler heard Ye Nan's words, but instead of being relieved, he said worriedly: "Magneto's power is too terrifying. Can those children of the X-Men contain them?"

"They definitely can, because Jean Grey is there." Ye Nan said with a firm expression.

Jean Grey looks very ordinary on the surface, and her abilities are not very powerful, but as the strongest mutant in the X-Men movie series and the only Level 5 mutant, once she awakens, even Magneto will be afraid.

And this is why Ye Nan didn't kill Jean Grey after defeating her last time, but let her go instead. Ye Nan knew very well that Jean Grey couldn't die. Once she died, her huge evil personality would appear, and at the same time, she would awaken as the Dark Phoenix. That would be the real trouble.

"Jean Grey?" Wolverine Logan's heart moved when he heard this, and there was a strange feeling in his heart.

When his memory was sealed by Professor X, he spent an unforgettable time with Jean Grey. Although he never met Jean Grey again later, now that they met, there was a strange relationship between him and Jean Grey.

Ye Nan turned his head and saw Wolverine's expression, and immediately smiled, "Old Wolf, are you moved by Jean Grey?"

"This..." Logan's old face flushed, not knowing how to answer.

If it were before, he would naturally admit it. After all, falling in love wasn't a difficult thing. But having recovered his memory, he knew how old he was, so naturally, he didn't have the heart to have a romance.

"You are neither old in heart nor body. You can completely snatch Jean Grey from that sickly guy Cyclops. I'm optimistic about you." Ye Nan joked.

To be honest, Cyclops could be considered mighty, but compared to Wolverine, he was far behind.

"I... we'll talk about it later." Logan said sheepishly, avoiding Ye Nan's gaze.

"Actually shy." Ye Nan shook his head and led everyone into the dam.

Inside the dam, there was a cement passage extending downward, six meters wide. After walking in, there was a metal door about three meters high, blocking the passage tightly.

"Stryker, I've come as agreed." Ye Nan stood at the gate and shouted...

Creak!

The gate slowly opened, and a sharp sound came. One could tell at a glance that this gate had been used for a long time, so much so that the edge of the gate made this kind of sound.

"Welcome, honored guest." General Stryker stood in front of the gate, "Eh, it's Wolverine. I didn't expect you to come home."

"Stryker." Seeing General Stryker, the anger in Wolverine's heart immediately burned fiercely.

"Don't be angry." Ye Nan stepped forward and blocked Logan, "General Stryker, he is my man now, so restrain yourself."

"You actually defected to Mr. Ye Nan." General Stryker looked at Logan in surprise, then smiled, "But it doesn't matter. Anyway, you are not unique. Come, let me introduce you. This is Deathstrike."

Stryker pointed to a woman in black behind him, "Deathstrike has the same recovery ability as you, and also has claws made of adamantium metal. She is so similar to you."

As if to verify General Stryker's words, Deathstrike extended her claws.

Her claws were exposed from her fingertips, five on each hand, more in number than Logan's, but much thinner than Logan's bone claws.

"I once thought you were unique, so I felt sorry after you disappeared. But you are not unique. Deathstrike is the same as you. You are like twin brother and sister."

"Is that so?" Logan crossed Ye Nan's body and looked at Deathstrike. An inexplicable anger surged in his heart. He extended his bone claws and was about to make a move.

"Don't be angry." Ye Nan said gently, "Did you forget what you promised me?"

"Didn't forget." Logan retracted his bone claws and closed his eyes, not looking at Deathstrike.

Seeing Logan retract his anger, Ye Nan also breathed a sigh of relief. He originally didn't intend to bring Logan, because he knew very well the harm Stryker had caused Logan. Bringing him over would inevitably affect Logan's emotions. With Logan's personality, he would likely kill wantonly and destroy his plan.

But Deathstrike couldn't be ignored either. Deathstrike, who had been poured with adamantium metal, had a body that was powerful to an incredible degree. Attacking her could at most cause some superficial wounds, and with Deathstrike's recovery ability, she didn't take superficial wounds to heart at all.

But ignoring Deathstrike wouldn't work either. Deathstrike was Stryker's capable assistant. If she entangled him, it would delay many things.

So Ye Nan brought Logan over with the purpose of letting Logan fight Deathstrike. Whether he would kill Deathstrike like in the movie didn't matter.

"General Stryker, I've already come. Why don't you invite me in to sit?"

The base was almost entirely buried under the dam. The electricity generated by the dam's hydraulic resources was one of the reasons why this base could operate for so many years.

Ye Nan wanted to enter this base, control the core hub inside, and control the entire base through programs. After controlling the base, he could easily turn Dr. Stryker and the others into turtles in a jar.

"Do you think I still need to?" A hint of an evil smile suddenly appeared on Stryker's face, "You've been tricked. Come, close the room and kill them all."

General Stryker turned and left, and the soldiers behind him raised their guns and aimed at Ye Nan and the others.

"I originally thought we could chat for a few more sentences. I didn't expect you to be so impatient." After Ye Nan finished speaking, the smile on his face completely converged, "Nightcrawler, you go and control the flood discharge device. Wolverine, leave this to you. I'll go find Professor X."...

Ye Nan gave the order, and his whole body turned into a ball of fire, rushing over. Everyone who blocked him on the way was burned to ashes.

For Ye Nan, these people couldn't be a reason for him to stop. In his eyes, these soldiers were like flies, and there was no need to waste a single bit of his time for them. Of course, the soldiers who blocked his path and were eroded into ashes by energy didn't count.

Just as Ye Nan and the others were fighting with Stryker's men, Professor X was also facing a critical choice.

"Welcome, Professor." A mechanical voice sounded throughout the hall. Professor X pushed his wheelchair and walked to Cerebro.

"Please don't leave me, okay?" A blonde girl in white clothes followed behind Professor X, shrinking back, as if very afraid.

Professor X turned his head and stared at the girl, a feeling of pity arising in his heart, and he couldn't help but say: "You can follow me in."

When Professor X said this, the illusion suddenly returned to its original state. Where were there any little girls? And this was not the X-School.

This was in a room at the bottom of the dam, where a large amount of energy was constantly gathering here.

"The energy has gathered. We can prepare to start."

A soldier said gently, slowly retreating, and turned to leave.

After the soldier, the huge power of illusion enveloped the entire room.

"It's time to find our friends." The blonde girl walked behind Professor X and whispered in his ear.

"Everyone... everywhere... all mutants... find them all."

Hearing the little girl speak, Professor X mechanically picked up the helmet, "Okay."

As Professor X put on the helmet, his mental power mixed with the energy here through the helmet and spread out.

The world of the mind slowly turned red, and the special mental fluctuations of each mutant appeared in Professor X's perception.

"Did you find the mutants? All the mutants."

"Wait a moment, there are too many people, I'm still looking." Professor X shook his head, his mental power continued to expand, trying hard to search for mutants globally.

"Concentrate your mind, I'll help you." The little girl stood by Professor X's body, her palm placed on Professor X's head, and her mental power drilled into his mind.

"Find all the mutants and kill them." Stryker led three soldiers and walked in.

As soon as he arrived, he walked to Jason's ear and whispered, "It's over, everything is over. Soon, you will also be liberated. Work hard, Mom is waiting for you in heaven."

"You three, guard here. No one is allowed to enter, including me. Remember, kill anyone who comes." Stryker closed the door and gave the order to the three soldiers beside him.

However, just as his voice fell, a red light came from the corner.

"What is this." Stryker looked intently, only to see the light coming from the corner getting brighter and brighter, as if it were a sun that had just risen, dazzling and piercing.

Suddenly, a sun rushed over from the corner. Before they could react, it hit the gate. The three soldiers were rendered by the terrifying energy and turned into a ball of ashes in the blink of an eye.

"General Stryker, we meet again." ===== CHAPTER 283 =====
