A mist rich in water vapor rose. In this cold morning, if an ordinary person stood here, they may be directly frozen, but now everyone here is not an ordinary person. The cold cannot erode their bodies, but after seeing the figure in the mist, the beast's eyes bloomed with a glimmer of brilliance.
Listening to the voice, he is still a teenager, but he can already use his ability to this extent, which is really surprising. He took a step back and spread out his hands, indicating that he had no malicious intentions.
"Santals, step back!"
Saber leaned on the hilt, reached out and touched the blood stains on the corner of his mouth, whispered, and then said without looking back.
"Everyone, come with me, let's finish things here as soon as possible … I'm going back to see the old man."
No one else had a chance to refuse, but considering Saber's actions just now, it is understandable. Everyone has emotions. Even an honest elder like Professor Charles had a fierce quarrel with the leader of SHIELD yesterday.
Nick Fury finally promised to put an end to this vicious incident against Mutant children, but he also said calmly that SHIELD has used a lot of resources to monitor the country and even most of the world. In addition, there are always some "unique" people in power in Congress. In this country that advocates freedom, he can only say that he will do his best.
Charles was not satisfied with this result, but considering that SHIELD's attitude was sincere enough, and his character was not the kind of person who would pester others, he suspended this oppressive request.
But after coming to the assembly hall and seeing the children who had just finished breakfast, Professor Charles once again felt the rising anger in his heart.
These children … all of them had traces of long-term blood extraction or evil human experiments on their arms, and their bodies were weak and thin. The oldest of these children was only the same age as Santals standing next to Saber, 16 years old … and the youngest was less than 10 years old.
Looking at their anxious eyes, the kind of eyes that looked like panicked little beasts made the mentors of Xavier Academy feel heavy pressure. However, after seeing Saber walk into the hall and sit silently in the corner, they seemed to have found their backbone and ran behind Saber.
Although cruel, ferocious, and fierce, Saber has proved with practical actions that he has the ability to protect them, and he will do so. Compared to a group of strangers who are kind but unknown, they are instinctively willing to believe in Saber, even if Saber is wrapped in an indescribable obscurity and coldness at this time.
"Children …"
Professor Charles did not speak. He was sitting in a wheelchair, but his gentle voice penetrated into the hearts of every child. Coupled with his kind expression, for these children with weak wills, he only needed to comfort them with a little mental suggestion to easily calm their high-strung spirits.
"Don't worry. The dark times of the past are over. You can trust us. We are here to take you away from here and start a new life."
These children had never seen such a method before. Perhaps when they first heard the voice in their hearts, they were startled. However, after realizing that Professor Charles really had no intention of harming them, the bold ones began to look at these strange outsiders curiously.
"Saber."
Professor Charles' voice rang in Saber's mind. Saber nodded silently and sat up from the chair next to him. Catherine held his arm worriedly, patting him on the shoulder and smiling at her. When he turned his head, the expression on his face had turned cold.
"That's enough, you little bastards!"
Saber waved his hand impatiently. "Follow Professor Charles back to New York. You don't have to endure the cold and lonely darkness anymore, and you don't have to worry about being dragged away in the middle of the night for experiments. You are free now, and you can choose your own life."
He glanced at the children in front of him. Some of the older children had keenly sensed the change in the situation. They wanted to speak, but they were stopped by Saber's gaze. The tall young man who rescued them from the cage looked at each of them, including Santos' sister.
The girl was as tall as Santos and stood out from the crowd. She also had Asian features and a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to be able to speak. She was supported by her brother and looked at Seiber with a pale face. Her eyes were filled with gratitude.
Seiber muttered to himself for a moment before tapping his Adamantium Alloy Blade on the ground. The sound of metal clashing against metal could be heard as he spoke loudly.
"But all of you better remember this! You were captured and taken away from your parents because you were too weak. You didn't have the power to protect yourself and your loved ones. "
"I hope you can remember this lesson. I know that there were more than 50 children here three years ago, and now there are less than 23 left. What they taught you with their lives, I hope it can be engraved in your bones, and you won't forget it until you die!"
Saber coughed a few times, and he clenched his fists.
"Don't be weak! In this cruel and cold world, the weak can only wait to be slaughtered. Touch the wounds on your body, does it hurt? "
The children nodded in unison. Some of them were so emotional that they even clenched their fists. Seiber closed his eyes.
"Then don't forget this feeling … I will avenge you and Stryker! But in the future, you will have to walk on your own! "
His voice jumped in the hall, like the trace left by a sharp blade drawn from its scabbard across steel. Under the gaze of several mutant mentors with complicated expressions, Saber finally waved his hand.
"Get out of here, little brats … Don't die before we meet again!"
After that, he left with Catherine. Santos wanted to follow, but after glancing at his sister, he finally lowered his head and stayed with the group of children.
Professor Xavier looked at Saber's departing figure, and after a long time, he sighed.
"Go, Jean, help these poor children pack their things. Hank, start the plane, we are ready to leave here … Ororo, push me to see those cages, see where our compatriots are suffering …"
"Yes!"
The group dispersed to do their own things. Ororo, with silver-white hair and slightly black skin, pushed Professor Xavier, led by a big child, to the prison hall that had been destroyed by Saber. On the way, Ororo was silent. As the mentor who trained her, Professor Xavier felt this silence.
"Ororo, my disciple, what are you thinking about?"
Storm paused and continued to push the professor forward. She said in her heart.
"Mentor, what Saber said to those children … Will it affect their beliefs? Now it seems that Catherine's strange personality was influenced by Saber, I'm worried … "
When Professor Charles heard this, a hint of sadness flashed across his eyes. Ororo and Jean were considered the best disciples he had personally nurtured, but …
"Ororo, do you know what the three things that support a civilization are?"
The professor's wheelchair slowly left Ororo's control. He closed his eyes slightly, allowing the wheelchair to float and slowly move forward. When the big child who was leading the way saw this, his mouth opened wide in surprise. Then, the professor took his hand, as if he was pulling the professor and his wheelchair forward.
This novel experience made the child a little excited. He looked at Professor Xavier with admiration and quickly pulled him forward. After turning a corner, the two figures disappeared in front of Ororo, who was still standing in the same place.
However, Storm stopped and turned her head to look behind her with a complicated expression. The answer to the mentor's question was still rolling in her mind.
"Wisdom, strength, and will. The first two can be cultivated, but the latter is engraved in the bones of a race. It is a will that is passed down from generation to generation, like the backbone of a civilization. Unfortunately, we don't have it. The mutants have wisdom and strength, but we don't have this kind of will. I used to think that it was because we were too fond of killing and had shed all the blood of the inheritance, but today … I realized that people like Saber are too rare."
"Those words may be crude and not very civilized … but this is the inheritance, Ororo … This is what they learned through pain and the death of their companions. Do you see the light in their eyes? That is the light of a person who has killed before. Saber used his method to train them. He only taught them one thing. "
The professor and the child's figures had long disappeared, but his voice still rang in Ororo's mind, even louder and louder.
"How to protect yourself … This is something that the Xavier Academy for Gifted Youths neglected. It seems that we will have to increase the actual combat classes."
Ten minutes later, Professor Xavier walked out of the darkness with a heavy face, pushed by the child. His face was extremely ugly. As an existence with powerful psychic power, Xavier could feel the cold smell of blood just by stepping into the ruins of the prison hall. It was a kind of entrenched death, and there was a kind of residual despair in the place.
Saber was telling the truth. At least 20 mutant children had died there. They were the most talented ones who were likely to become the next generation of mutants in the future.
"Stryker … damn it!"
After the Cuban Missile Crisis, Professor Xavier rarely had such an emotional moment. He looked at Ororo, who was waiting at the edge of the passage, and he closed his eyes slightly.
"After we leave … destroy this place, Ororo, completely destroy it!"
Twenty minutes later, the huge black flying bird aircraft slowly rose into the air. Under the skillful control of Hank, they soon reached a position of thousands of meters in the sky and hovered.
The cabin door opened a gap, and Ororo, who was wearing a black windbreaker, stepped out of the cabin. She did not fall, as if she was stepping on air. The bone-chilling wind wrapped around her like the most docile pet.
Saber looked out of the porthole. Ororo took a deep breath and raised her hands. This black beauty's posture was like the charlatans in Saber's memory. She muttered to herself. Five seconds later, Saber's eyes suddenly narrowed. Around the plane, the originally clear blue sky suddenly became cloudy. It was like magic.
It was even scarier than the dark clouds that Saber saw during the craziest storm in Gotham. The light in the sky seemed to be covered at this moment.
Under Saber's unblinking gaze, the first blue lightning appeared in the dark clouds and flashed away. However, this was just the beginning. More and more lightning appeared around Ororo. The wind howled, and thunder rolled. Ororo's eyes had already turned pale white under the surging power. She looked abnormally terrifying, as cold as a god in the sky.
The connected blue lightning circled around Ororo's arms like two spears made of lightning. The moment she raised the lightning in her left hand, a dazzling bolt of lightning connected to Ororo's hand from the sky. The other children who saw this scene screamed in fright, but Saber saw it …
The lightning bolts that Ororo hurled at the ground were like the divine punishment of legends. They turned into thousands of blue arcs of light in the air. With Seiber's eyesight, he could clearly see that after this round of lightning strikes, the entire dam base had been completely torn apart. The power of the lightning bolts was truly terrifying.
In the next moment, Ororo tossed out the lightning bolt in his other hand. Thousands of lightning bolts flashed in the air, and Seiber looked at the ground again. The dam base was gone, and there was only a scorched crater where it had once stood. The molten iron that had been struck by the lightning bolts came into contact with the cold lake water, and steam rose into the air.
The destruction that Ororo brought about also came to an end. She stepped on air and stepped through the window. When she saw Saber looking at her, she snorted coldly and arrogantly turned her face to the side. She then walked through the cabin door and sat in her chair. However, she was soon surrounded by children who adored her. She seemed to like children very much. The coldness on her face disappeared, replaced by a smile that came from the bottom of her heart.
This woman who was like a god of thunder ten seconds ago … was actually only twenty-two years old.
Beast Hank's loud voice soon rang out through the cabin's broadcast.
"Sit tight, everyone. We're … going home!"
