Chapter 263 X-Men Set Out
I heard Charles say that there is an Alpha-level mind manipulator in this base.

Carl was curious.

He knew that this base belonged to Colonel William Stryker, but in the original time and space, there were no Alpha-class mind manipulators under Stryker's command.

Who is this mind manipulator then?
Carl decided to find the answer himself. He used telepathy and his mental waves spread in all directions at the speed of light.

Soon he found the mind manipulator that Charles mentioned.

"Emma the White Queen?"

Carl thought to himself, it seemed that Stryker had captured Emma in yesterday's battle.

At this time, Charles, who was sitting in a wheelchair, invaded the perspective of military soldiers through mind control and discovered some new information.

"I saw Stryker directing his men to transfer mutants near the dam."

“Many children were also seen being held in the back of military transport trucks.”

"Wait, the White Queen Emma, the witch Selene, and the red devil Azazel of the Brotherhood of Mutants are all by Stryker's side."

Hearing this, Hank McCoy looked at Magneto Eric and asked, "Did you know that members of the Brotherhood were captured?"

Eric said nonchalantly, "Of course I don't know. Although Emma approached me a month ago and wanted me to go back and continue to lead the Brotherhood, I rejected her."

"I don't want to waste any more time fighting against humans."

Alex and Scott, the two brothers, were eager to try and said, "Professor, let's just take action. Stryker is using mutant children for experiments, we must stop him."

Raven said expressionlessly, "Why rush? Stryker was able to capture Emma and the others, so he must have some hidden strength."

"If you act rashly without getting the intelligence, and fall into the enemy's trap, can you afford it?"

Night Walker replied: "I can sneak into the base to steal intelligence, do you want me to..."

"No!" Charles stopped him, "There must be a reason why Stryker was able to capture Azazel. The enemy may have some way to restrain the teleportation ability."

"We can't do it easily."

As he said that, Charles looked at Karl, who had been silent, and said, “Mr. Karl, can you help stop Emma and the others!”

Carl was just here to watch the fun, but after thinking about it, he realized that the White Queen and the witch were pretty, so he said:
"Okay, I'll take care of Emma, the witch, and Azazel."

Hearing that Karl was willing to help, Charles, who felt that this time was safe, said with joy in his eyes:
"Very good, I will assign everyone's combat objectives."

"Scott and Alex, the two of you will attack head-on. The main purpose is to attract the enemy's attention."

"Riven, you disguise yourself and infiltrate the enemy. Take action at any time depending on the situation."

"Hank and Ororo, you guys make a feint attack on the flanks to reduce the pressure of the frontal attack and disrupt the enemy's formation."

"Kurt, you have the heaviest responsibility. When the frontal assault begins, you must start saving people immediately."

"As for Eric and I, we will hide behind the scenes and see how Stryker handles it. We will act accordingly."

After listening to Charles' assignment, everyone understood their tasks.

Carl left a sentence, "I'll attack first, you guys do whatever you want." Then he disappeared instantly.

A blink of an eye.

Kal appeared over the storage dam west of Lake Alkali.

The martial law soldiers on the wave-breaking wall at the top of the dam were the first to discover the unknown enemy above the dam.

They immediately reported the news to their superiors using military radio.

Inside the dam, deep inside the base.

After hearing the report from his men, Stryker calmly sent out the trio of Emma, the witch, and Azazel, who had just been captured yesterday.

Anyway, these three people were just captured yesterday, so there would be no pain if they died. Naturally, they would be sent out as cannon fodder to spy on the enemy's details.

Although his men reported that they only saw one enemy, mutants have various abilities and Stryker will not underestimate anyone.

If others dare to show up alone, it is either because they have absolute confidence or they have accomplices or hidden tricks.

Stryker ordered: "Tell everyone to be alert and keep a close eye on the experimental subjects on the transport truck!"

"Understood, sir!"

Back outside, the soldiers stationed outside the dam, after receiving the order to fire at will, pointed their guns at the enemy in the air.

He started firing wildly at Carl, "Bang, bang, bang!"

Carl simply ignored the torrent of bullets coming from below and focused on Emma, the witch, and Azazel who had just teleported in front of him.

Using close-range telepathic detection, Carl determined that all three of them were controlled by Stryker's son, the Master of Illusions.

Carl had no interest in fighting them, so he directly invaded the spiritual world of the three and released the Illusion Master from his control.

After the three regained consciousness, they shook their heads and realized that they were being controlled.

Emma, the leader of the trio, transforms herself into diamond form to avoid having her mind controlled again.

At the same time, she looked at Karl warily and asked, “Who are you? Charles’ student?”

Carl was unhappy when he heard this.

"Although I look young, that doesn't mean I'm Charles' student, right?"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter who I am. Now you have two choices."

"First, you all stand still and watch a good show of mutants fighting human soldiers."

"Second, you attack me, and then I control you, and you watch a good show with me."

"Which one do you choose?"

Emma in diamond form had already begun to quietly invade Carl's mind while he was speaking.

Carl discovered that she was not honest, so he gave Emma a mental shock as punishment.

"Ah!" Emma screamed, covering her forehead in pain, and was almost knocked unconscious by the sudden mental shock.

Seeing this, the red devil Azazel grabbed Emma and the witch's hands and tried to run away.

But Carl directly used his space control ability to forcibly block this space.

Azazel tried to activate his ability, but found no response. His heart sank and he shook his head slightly and gave Emma a look.

The witch Selene wears a black nun robe and a red headscarf, with a mysterious plum blossom pattern on her forehead.

"You blocked the space around you? How did you do it?" asked the witch Selene in surprise.

Karl said calmly: “It’s very simple, if you want to do it, you can do it.”

Emma and the other two knew that they probably wouldn't be able to escape for a while.

The strength of this mysterious man is unfathomable, and without 100% certainty, there is no need for them to leave immediately.

So, Emma and the other two followed Carl and stood 500 meters above the dam to observe the situation below.

"Shhhhhh!"

Scott and Alex began their assault from the front, firing shock waves and laser beams at the main entrance of the base.

"Boom boom boom"

Two light armored vehicles that had just slowly driven out of the main gate of the base were directly blown up and turned into two fireballs.

"Ask for support, please support!"

"Two intruders were found at the main exit of the base, with the ability to launch shock waves and laser-like beams."

There were also five transport trucks, three armored vehicles and a military jeep near the base exit.

The transport convoy was brought to a complete halt by the sudden attack.

A major officer sitting in a military jeep reported the situation to his superiors while commanding his men to fight back against the invaders.

"Boom boom boom boom."

The battle became intense as soon as it began.

On top of the light armored vehicle, a soldier mounted a light machine gun and aimed it at the invader and pulled the trigger.

Countless 7.62mm bullets formed a metal torrent, sweeping towards the invaders.

"Da da da da da da!"

The two brothers Alex and Scott worked in perfect harmony and took cover under the lush trees in the woods near the exit of the base.

It only took them two minutes to eliminate all the resistance in the convoy.

However, the soldiers outside the base heard the loud noise at the base entrance and, under the order to capture them alive issued by their superiors, began to encircle the two invaders.

At the same time, more light armored vehicles and troop transport trucks drove out of the base exit one after another.

At this time, it was the turn of Hank and Ororo, who were responsible for the flanks and the periphery, to take action.

Ororo, who was fighting with the X-Men for the first time, looked a little nervous. He stretched out his hand and used his ability to create a tornado that was half a meter in size.

Soon, the tornado grew rapidly, from half a meter to 200 meters high, and quickly approached the main gate of the base.

The tornado's wind force was so terrifying that all the tall trees along the way were uprooted and mud and rocks were swept into the air.

"Crash-"

The trees within a radius of twenty kilometers were swaying wildly in the strong wind, and more and more branches and green leaves were blown into the sky, filling Hank's vision.

"Tsk tsk. Your ability looks quite powerful."

Beast Hank McCoy's face was a little moved, this newcomer was really strong enough to create such a big scene easily.

The violent tornado also swept military armored vehicles and troop carrier trucks that had just left the base into the sky.

"Ah~"

Many soldiers who were blown into the sky by the tornado screamed in fear. In the face of death, no one could remain calm.

At the same time, Kurt Nightcrawler was also teleporting to rescue all the mutant children on the troop transport truck.

"Guys, can you please slow down a little? I can't save her anymore!"

Nightcrawler's voice suddenly came from the radio micro-earphones of all X-Men members.

Ororo felt a little embarrassed as he controlled the tornado to gradually shrink.

Hank has transformed into beast form, holding a submachine gun and ready at all times.

At this time, Charles' voice appeared in the radio headset.

"Attention, Stryker has appeared at the main entrance of the base, everyone be alert!"

Alex and Scott, who were in charge of the front, saw it clearly.

Wearing a colonel's uniform and with a gloomy face, Stryker walked out of the main gate of the base.

Following behind him were the Master of Illusion, Logan, Death, Pietro, and two young strangers.

Alex said in a serious tone, "Shit! I saw Pietro. He's behind Stryker. He's probably mind-controlled."

Charles immediately said: "It seems that Stryker has found a way to control multiple mutants. Everyone be careful."

At this moment, Scott suddenly discovered that Pietro behind Stryker was gone.

"Watch out, Pietro!" he shouted.

But Alex didn't react in time, or rather, he couldn't react even if he was reminded.

Quicksilver Pietro from the mutant universe has extremely exaggerated abilities.

Once Pietro activates his ability, in his eyes, everything in the world runs at a speed fifty times slower.

Therefore, Scott could only watch as a blue shadow appeared and Alex's head was chopped off by a knife.

"Do not--"

Watching his brother's head rolling to the ground and dying in front of him, Scott roared in horror.

At the same time, Scott gritted his teeth and said, "Pietro! I'm going to kill you!"

He stared at Pietro who had returned to Stryker's back and reached out to take off his red quartz sunglasses.

He fired two laser beams at maximum power at Pietro.

But Stryker just waved his hand, and behind him came a strange man in a gray shirt and jeans.

He took a step forward and created a pale white shield to block the laser beam fired by Scott.

Scott's face turned very ugly when he saw that the enemy actually blocked his attack.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that Pietro behind Stryker was gone again.

He quickly looked around vigilantly.

After a few seconds, there was no trace of Pietro.

Just as Scott was feeling puzzled, many exclamations suddenly came from the radio headset.

Charles: "Watch out! No--Eric!"

"Ahh. Ouch."

"What's wrong with you?"

After screaming several times, Scott was horrified to find that no one responded to him in the radio headset.

"Hello? Professor? Hank? Raven? Where are they?"

Could it be that the rest of the X-Men were killed by Pietro?
Thinking of this terrible speculation, Scott's face became extremely desperate.

At this time, Logan and the Death Girl on the opposite side stretched out their sharp wolf claws made of adamantium and pounced on him.

All his companions including his brother were dead, and he could not fight the enemy alone. Unless he surrendered and survived, he might as well commit suicide.

He didn't want to be Stryker's lackey, and he didn't want to have his mind controlled like Logan and Pietro.

So, Scott, frustrated, gave up resistance and prepared to commit suicide with a grenade at his waist.

Suddenly, Scott found Charles's faint voice in his mind.

"Wake up! Wake up! This is an illusion, it's fake!"

"Fake?" Scott opened his eyes suddenly, and when he looked again, he found that his brother Alex was still alive and well.

And standing next to me.

But his brother Alex also closed his eyes, as if he was also caught up in the enemy's illusion.

Scott shook Alex's shoulders hard, trying to wake him up.

While firing laser beams at Logan and Death Girl who were rushing towards him.

"boom!"

The extremely destructive laser beam blasted Logan and Death Girl more than 20 meters away.

"Cough cough."

The dead woman coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, and soon stood up again as if nothing had happened.
