Further away are long-range artillery pieces targeting the area.
Suppression, silence...
It was as if everyone's heart was pounding wildly and violently just before a bomb exploded.
The children of School X gathered at the entrance to the secret passage, watching what was happening before their eyes: some were filled with despair, some huddled together and wept, and others secretly prepared for battle.
At this moment, the world they saw was shrouded in a swirling poisonous fog, and despair enveloped it.
Just then, a cold, sharp voice rang out from outside.
"Children, I know you're scared, but we only want Professor X! If you come out, we promise we won't hurt you!"
"And to the teachers at the school, I'll say it again, we will not hurt you!"
"The only thing you can do now is leave!"
"I know you can hear me. I'm giving you ten seconds. In ten seconds, there will be an indiscriminate strike here!"
"Believe me, this is a scene no one wants to see!"
Hearing the sounds outside, the teachers in the secret passage looked grim, and the younger children were even sobbing uncontrollably.
Scott looked at Emma and said calmly, "Can you control them?"
Emma raised an eyebrow slightly and shook her head.
"These purifying fumes outside have a way of suppressing the power of the mind."
该死 的
No wonder they dared to attack so rudely, showing no fear of his and Charles's control.
Emma silently berated herself.
"Damn it, I'm going to burn them alive!"
Firefighter John said irritably as he prepared to leave.
"John!"
Hank McCoy patted the firefighter on the shoulder: "Kid, I admire your courage, but rushing out now will only lead to one thing."
"Inhale the poisonous fog, lose your ability to move, and then be captured or killed!"
The firefighter banged hard on the wall with a hammer: "What should we do?"
"etc"
Hank McCoy slid his glasses down his nose.
Meanwhile, other teachers were also comforting the children.
Emma held her two children in her arms, her inner power constantly trying to control those outside.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the secret passage and came into contact with the purifying poisonous fog, his mental power inexplicably disappeared.
The people outside repeated what they had just shouted several times, and the atmosphere in the secret passage grew increasingly gloomy, like a volcano about to erupt.
"ten!"
The countdown has begun, and some people are starting to worry.
"Damn it, I need to get out of here. Getting caught is better than being killed!"
A child of about fifteen or sixteen years old, unable to bear the increasingly terrifying atmosphere, screamed and ran outside.
His friends quickly pulled him back.
"Let me go! I don't want to die!"
"I want to go out too!"
"I'd rather inhale the poisonous fumes than die!"
More and more children are running toward the secret entrance.
Under the terrifying pressure, they were so frightened that they lost their minds.
"Don't go there. No one can guarantee what will happen to us after we lose our superpowers. They won't kill us, but what if they turn us into test subjects?"
Bobby Iceman, who was usually shy and introverted, strode in.
Firefighter John looked at Bobby in surprise, a smirk playing on his lips. "What do you care about these idiots?" he said.
Bobby's words silenced the secret passage.
But as the countdown got shorter, some children started walking towards the door again.
At that moment, a warm voice rang in their minds.
"Children, quiet down."
Charles rubbed his temples to quiet the children, and he and three Logan men walked toward him.
This is not a question of whether they will go out to seek refuge, but rather a full-scale war that has already begun.
The first battle was the school war.
"three!"
The countdown continues.
The deliberately lengthened countdown was intended to create a sense of overwhelming power.
"Auroro".
Charles looked at Ororo, who had accepted the title of Stormbringer.
Ororo nodded, walked through the crowd to the front of the venue, and slowly closed his eyes.
The moment Qi Ju opened her eyes, they turned a jade-like color, and a gentle breeze swept over her body.
Rumble!
The sky was filled with unusually hot clouds, and dazzling lightning flashed within them, while the gale coalesced into an uncontrollable storm.
At that moment, it felt like the entire sky was about to collapse.
Ororo slowly raised her hands, and the storm she had created instantly transformed into a terrifying tornado.
Lightning danced wildly under the gloomy sky, and the tornado seemed to be bound to the heavens and earth, rampaging recklessly and devouring everything around it, howling in all directions under Orolo's control.
At that moment, the swirling poisonous fog and the crushing soldiers were all swept away by the Orolo Hurricane.
Upon seeing this extraordinary sight, the boys at School X cheered with joy.
In stark contrast to the excited children were the soldiers.
Watching the hurricane raging back and forth like a giant python, they were blown about by the gale, unable to even stand steadily, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
Fortunately, they were far away and ran fast, otherwise they wouldn't have been missed.
But the people around him were very unhappy.
Especially the person who shouted...
Meanwhile, the Minister of Defense, who had long since disappeared into the distance and left the X School area, looked at the images sent from the front, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, before reverting to his expressionless state.
"See? This is how those mutated monsters act recklessly because they think they possess some kind of power!"
"Sir, what do we do now?"
The soldier asked, but he glanced out of the corner of his eye at the girl sitting in the corner of the fighter jet.
The girl wore black gloves, which covered her completely, leaving only a pair of numb and dull eyes visible.
"She is our secret weapon, and now is not the time for her to show herself."
Defense Secretary Leon Cohen spoke softly, his eyes flashing as he looked at the hurricane still raging on the screen, and issued a new order.
"Next, establish a purification zone to completely surround them! Use long-range weapons to disperse them! Closely monitor the battlefield, and attack the X School personnel immediately if they appear!"
"Also, be wary of mutant attacks, and keep our people in the purification fog at all times."
"Yes, sir!"
After the soldier answered, he immediately began issuing new orders.
Defense Secretary Leon Cohen stared at the girl in the corner, his eyes flashing with hatred and disgust.
If it weren't for this girl, his daughter wouldn't just be eighteen years old; she would look like five or seven eighty-year-old women.
Mutants... - They are monsters
Perhaps noticing the Minister of Defense's gaze, the girl lowered her head.
She hurt her friend; she must be punished, she must atone, she must obey Uncle Cohen, she must follow orders...
The commands that had been issued flashed through her mind.
"Humph!"
Leon Cohen snorted and continued watching the battlefield.
After Hurricane Ororo cleared away the initial thick haze, the sky became clear and transparent.
As Oloro's thoughts drifted elsewhere, the dark clouds in the sky quickly dissipated.
