Sentinel

Chapter 247 Legion
"Is this still me?"

John looked at himself in the mirror. The black fabric was well-cut and fit on his body very snugly. The waist was fitted and the chest and shoulders were highlighted, showing a strong sense of strength.The shoulders, neckline and cuffs are embroidered with exquisite silver patterns, the right arm wears a bright red flame armband, and the chest wears a metal badge with a red and white umbrella shape.

The style of this uniform is quite close to the style of the German SS. It has a chill and cold atmosphere. Of course, it is more important than the gorgeous shape. It uses a new material cultivated by the symbiosis, developed by Umbrella. , has various combat functions such as light and thin, bulletproof, optical camouflage, etc., and has not been officially promoted and applied in the military at present.

With the gradual implementation of the Mutant Registration Act, most of the young people in the college have chosen to disclose their identities and become officially registered mutants, and the government departments and Mr. Seapers have not reneged on their promises, and according to the terms of the bill, give In addition to their legal status and social welfare protection, they enjoy all the rights of citizens in this country.

Different from Iceman Bobby’s hesitation, John and a group of friends joined Umbrella. Mutants like him and Colossus Pete, who have excellent combat capabilities, were assigned to the new company to become a Security personnel have generous salaries every month, and they can even be awarded military titles for outstanding performance.

The sudden change did not make the young and impulsive Pyro feel confused. On the contrary, he was full of fighting spirit. John was not the introverted and obedient friend Bobby, nor was he like the warm-hearted Colossus Pete. He had his own ideas and ambitions.

In the original timeline, Burning John finally chose to follow Magneto instead of returning to the professor's college and continue to be an obedient baby, which is enough to show that he is different from other students.

Due to Sean's influence and interference, except for Magneto's riots in Manhattan, the mutants did not cause any disturbance in this world, and John's original idea of ​​following the strong also changed accordingly.

The former Pyro believed in the supremacy of power, but when he heard that the old strongman among the mutants had fallen at Sean's feet, he began to doubt his previous thoughts. Stryker, known as the butcher of mutants, died in Siper In the hands of Mr. Si, the professor also showed his trust in him, and Magneto was exiled after hearing that he took the Brotherhood members to migrate to a remote Africa. A series of victories shocked John.

It wasn't until he entered Umbrella that John really saw the appearance of a big man. Even Mr. Bronski, a powerful fighter who can incarnate hatred, maintained a respectful attitude towards Sean, and those knowledgeable scientists, the light The mighty superheroes and high-ranking government officials did not show any contempt for this seemingly ordinary young man.

No one is willing to be ordinary, and any young man will not have passion and ideals, but they are gradually worn away by the years.

Burning John doesn't care about any moral standpoint. In his opinion, the concept of peace between humans and mutants is outdated. He agrees more with Magneto's idea. Mutants who are at the forefront of evolution are inherently better. , and higher than the existence of ordinary people.

It's a pity that the old man Magneto suffered setbacks and failures in the hands of Sean, which made John give up his previous ideas. During the short days he spent in Umbrella, he saw the charm of power.

Those high-ranking military officials and high-ranking government officials with haughty faces have a completely different attitude towards Mr. Seapers. This kind of change cannot be achieved by pure force.

A strong man like Magneto can make human beings fearful, but he can't really make everyone bow down, but the combination of money and power can be easily achieved.

This gave John a great shock. In the hearts of the young people, there must be a figure leading them forward. This goal was very vague, maybe it was a professor, or it might be Magneto, but after Sean appeared, for him Unveil the real world standing at the top of the pyramid, and the figure in the mind suddenly becomes clear.

"I also want to be a big man like him." John looked at himself in the mirror in uniform, and said silently in his heart.

Striding out the door, figures in black uniforms lined up in the hall. This is a new company located in the northern suburbs of Long Island, and they are all members of the Umbrella Security Team. The training instructor is a former retired special forces soldier, Emil Browns base.

At the beginning, among the mutants, some people felt contempt for this small man with a strong aura, but soon they all discarded this ridiculous idea——after a certain unlucky provocateur was turned into a hated Blonsky After the blasting hammer, these young people selected from among the many mutants, their innate abilities are not enough for this kind of veterans with rich combat experience.

"Rookies, forget your previous identities. Now you are Umbrella's private army, serving our common boss, Mr. Sipers!" Bronski looked around, and the extremely oppressive momentum made everyone subconscious Avoiding it, "You young rookies who think they have superpowers and are far beyond ordinary people, please always remember the last failure! It is a shame! It is also a scar branded on your body!"

A week ago, this group of newly joined young mutants had a real combat exercise with General Ross’s Thunder Agents. The super soldiers who had been injected with human body enhancement drugs, plus well-equipped and powerful weapons with sufficient ammunition, went from head to toe. Tail crushed them and easily won the victory.

This is what Xiao En meant. He was not surprised at the result of the fiasco. Mutants are powerful, but they don't know how to cooperate and fight side by side. When they meet elite soldiers with rich tactics and full experience, they are defeated It's normal at first.

The young boss sitting behind the scenes wanted to let the group of mutants know that their abilities were not enough to deal with everything. First, he severely dispelled the vigor and pride in his heart, and then handed it over to Bronski for strict training, and finally got a The invincible mutant army.

"The average annual salary of an ordinary soldier is about [-] U.S. dollars, while the salary of an officer is [-] U.S. dollars. You rookies! Waste of material! You are paid nearly double the salary, but even a group of American soldiers do it. but!"

Bronski roared angrily. As a veteran who spent the first half of his life fighting with the army on the battlefield, he was very familiar with the process of training recruits.

In a group, these young mutants will soon forget their previous identities, they are gradually assimilated, like iron blocks in a huge furnace undergoing forging and smelting until they become real fighters, absolutely obey orders.

In the foreseeable future, these people will become Umbrella's sharp sword and strong shield to the outside world. Bronski can't help but secretly sigh in his heart, what kind of grand goal does the young boss have? In terms of power and power, he is already a big shot at the top of the country's pyramid.

According to Bronsky's observation, even though he has come to this point at a young age, he is known as a talented person with a bright future, sitting on power and wealth, but Sean has never shown satisfaction or slack, as if something is behind him As if desperately catching up, he still tried to run forward, as if the road ahead would never end.

"Could it be that the end of the world is coming?" Bronski froze for a moment, throwing this cold joke out of his mind.
