Chapter 961: Shi Cuike must die (Second update!!)

Adiya's tone was faint.

Shi Cuike's face was livid.

He considered himself to have a hundred ways to deal with mutants.

A hundred ways.

As everyone knows, inside the Alkali Lake Dam base in Canada, he didn't know how many mutants he had locked up, nor did he know how many mutants had died miserably inside.

As long as he wanted, not a single mutant could escape his palm.

This was not boasting, but fact.

Authorized by the White House.

Fully supported by the Pentagon.

And there was this X-Gene Inhibitor targeting the mutant population; let's put it this way, if it weren't for the tacit approval from Washington, he could have wiped out Professor X's mutant academy at any time.

But he couldn't.

Because Washington needed Professor X, needed a dove among the mutant population; they needed a mutant who leaned toward them.

Simply put.

The reason Professor X could become the mutant leader was not because Professor X was so formidable, but because Washington needed Professor X to be the mutant leader, needed Professor X to speak for them when they needed it.

For example, when Magneto appeared again, Professor X would need to come out to help.

Washington could ignore the fact that mutants were a scattered mess, and could even tolerate Professor X establishing a so-called mutant academy to speak for mutants, but Washington absolutely could not tolerate mutants gathering around Magneto as the hawk faction.

So...

Shi Cuike knew very well where the X-Academy was, but moving against the X-Academy required authorization from Washington; otherwise, if he acted without authorization, he would be the one to suffer.

However, because Magneto had disappeared ten years ago, and as time passed, the hardliners in Washington rose again, Shi Cuike caught this signal and therefore increased his efforts.

Except for the mutants of the X-Academy, he dared to capture any mutant.

This newly appeared Hawk Phoenix was the same.

Shi Cuike had even thought it through: after capturing Hawk Phoenix, he would immediately send him to the dam base for comprehensive research.

As a result...

He had only just begun to think, and hadn't even had time to act, yet Hawk was already going to take his life.

And he went straight for the jugular from the start, blocking the front door of his direct superior, forcing his superior to personally hand him over to this damn mutant.

William Shi Cuike was very unwilling.

But!

What could he do if he was unwilling? What could he do? Unless someone could beat this damn mutant to death or temporarily drive him away before he died, otherwise, he was a dead man today.

But was there such a person?

William Shi Cuike looked at the helicopter that had already begun to descend in altitude, and at the Quantico military base shrouded in the crimson dome, and feeling his life about to enter a countdown, his brain spun rapidly, trying to find a glimmer of survival for himself.

Just then.

Shi Cuike's eyes lit up.

"Professor X!"

"... What?"

Adiya looked at Shi Cuike, who had suddenly shouted out loud, and frowned.

Shi Cuike seemed to have grasped a glimmer of survival and said to Adiya: "Contact Professor X immediately. He is a mutant with mind control. Tell him that a mutant is holding General Ross hostage; he will definitely come out and use his mind control to restrain this damn mutant."

Even if it was just restraint, or a temporary expulsion, that would be fine.

First, resolve the crisis at hand.

Once Hawk was temporarily controlled or driven away, then General Ross and the other ten generals could safely withdraw from the Quantico base. In this way, he wouldn't need to appear and sacrifice himself to trade for the lives of the ten generals.

Perfect!

Shi Cuike was mentally agitated and shouted at Adiya: "Contact Professor X immediately, hurry!"

Adiya didn't make a sound, just looked at Shi Cuike with calm eyes and a silent expression.

Shi Cuike urged!

"Adiya..."

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"... What?"

"Can you guarantee it?"

"I dare!"

"I don't dare!"

"..."

Shi Cuike's expression stiffened.

The expression on Adiya's face carried a hint of disdain and speechlessness: "Shi Cuike, I'm different from you. I don't have such a gambling addiction as you. Do you think that if you can think of it, General Ross and the others can't? Regardless of how General Ross and the others deal with this mutant after today, that's none of your business anymore. You have only one task today: use your life to trade for the lives of a base. You are profiting."

Good guy.

This ghost was still planning to drag him along to be buried with him at the end?

How could this be allowed?

Besides, I've already tied you here; if you don't die, it's hard for me to handle things too.

If by any chance you don't die and get reinstated to your position, then I'm screwed.

So—

Let alone Shi Cuike, this ghost, asking him to contact Professor X, even if General Ross asked him to contact Professor X right now, he would stop Professor X from coming today no matter what.

At the very least, if Shi Cuike doesn't die, Professor X cannot appear.

This is what Adiya says; even if Jesus comes, it won't work.

Soon.

The helicopter landed on the open ground outside the dome.

Adiya then looked at Shi Cuike.

"Let's go, the generals are probably getting impatient."

"Bring him."

After Adiya said this, he pulled open the helicopter cabin door, hunched his waist, and trotted away from the range of the helicopter's rotor blades.

Unlike being unable to go out, Adiya and the others, carrying Shi Cuike with his hands cuffed, walked very easily into the Quantico base, which was now shrouded in the crimson barrier.

Shi Cuike was held by two sentinels, his face flushed red, struggling hard.

Like all life.

At the moment of entering the crimson barrier, Shi Cuike, who seemed to have a premonition that he had only a dead end, began to struggle hard to fight for a glimmer of survival for himself.

At this moment, Shi Cuike longed for survival more than anyone else.

But in the Quantico military base, because of the crimson barrier, the soldiers and their families trapped here, as well as General Ross and the others, preferred to survive even more.

So—

Either one dies, or a group dies.

This was a multiple-choice question that couldn't be simpler.

When General Ross walked out of the base building again with a blank expression, Hawk, who had been standing in the air above and talking to Wanda, also landed on the ground again with Wanda.

Hawk's gaze looked at Shi Cuike, who was being held by the two sentinel agents.

Shi Cuike was also looking at Hawk with eyes that were both terrified and angry.

Hawk's gaze moved down, landing on Shi Cuike's trembling legs, the corners of his mouth raised, and he gave a soft laugh: "Hello, Shi Cuike."

Hearing Hawk's cold, emotionless words, Shi Cuike instantly went over the edge.

"Damn mutant, I knew it, one day you would cause destruction to this world."

"My choice was not wrong."

"Dealing with you mutants means exterminating you all."

"I only hate myself for not being ruthless enough!"

After hearing Hawk's emotionless address, he knew that he was a dead man this time. ===== CHAPTER 963 =====
