315 Lucien
It was already late when it crossed the Atlantic Ocean and landed in the British mainland, but Eric and his group had no time to rest. With the help of the convoy sent by the authorities in the night, they came directly to the military camp near London, where the hosts had prepared reception work, nearly a thousand people served guests from the other side of the ocean, and dozens of officers and senior bureaucrats attended the meeting.
After a lot of noise, the British gave the latest situation as concisely as possible, and also showed Eric and others a live video of London. This capital city, the largest city and the largest port in the UK with a population of 12 million, has now been in serious riots.
From the live broadcast, we can see that the originally prosperous streets are now occupied by thugs, and panicked people fled everywhere. Some young people in strange clothes chased behind, openly throwing stones into the crowd, hitting innocent people to the point of bleeding. Others waved their bats and smashed open shop windows as if no one was around, and plundering other people's property. The video only took two minutes to play. The newcomer was shocked to find dozens of police cars being pushed down and burned, and blood-covered civilians could be seen everywhere on the roadside, moaning.
"Hell, this is even more chaotic than Los Angeles in 1992 and Cincinnati in 2001. You just sit aside and watch the situation continue to deteriorate. Why not send out the National Guard?" A US lieutenant general who accompanied him asked in shock, but the other party could only smile bitterly.
"We have dispatched the volunteer army in the country, but the result is this." At the warning of British officers, the screen was converted to another picture.
From the picture, it can be seen that the sun had not set when the light armored vehicles of the local reserve forces entered the turbulent city. However, the riots had begun. Some buildings were covered by fires, and the thick smoke drifted to the sky with ashes. Many thugs were fired at the police cars nearby and threw various combustible materials at the police. From time to time, a ball of fire could be seen exploded beside the police officers who were retreating in a mess.
The armored vehicles approached the thugs, and the local army began to shoot at these criminals with rubber bullets and tear gas. According to past experience, it was not too difficult to subdue these guys, but this time was completely different from the previous experience.
Some young men who looked weird stood up and took off their clothes in the face of approaching soldiers, then twisted and gradually expanded in front of everyone's eyes, and eventually turned into a terrifying monster covered in dark hair, rushing towards the panic-like soldiers.
The local army is a ground reserve force under the British Army. The members are not full-time soldiers. They only need to participate in military training for a minimum of 19 to 27 days a year. They have no combat experience at all. Most of the weapons are small-caliber light rifles. Each person only carries a few bullets. When suddenly encountering this kind of impact, half of them collapsed at that time. Although the remaining people tried their best to resist, they could not recover. From the video, you can see the crazy werewolf pounced down and bit the opponent. Then they raised their heads proudly and howled with their bloody mouths.
While playing videos, the British explained the reinforcements from afar.
"The riots lost control from the beginning, and we tried to talk to the werewolf leader Russian. But he refused to contact us. Until now, we don't know whether this was a demonstration or a full-scale attack. The army tried its best to control the werewolf in several cities. It was very difficult to recover. Even if the ground part was restored, the underground railway and drainage system could no longer enter. It was impossible to complete such a task by ordinary people. No matter how elite soldiers were, we could only rely on your strength to complete this mission."
The top bureaucrat sent by the Prime Minister slowly spoke, his attitude was extremely sincere. Although he still maintained the usual elegant demeanor of the British, at this time anyone could see the anxious look in his eyes.
"You are so powerful, why don't you use nuclear bombs to bomb them into the sky? Haven't humans always like to do this?" said a attendee of the Brotherhood coldly. They have been facing such threats for a long time in the past.
"If you have no choice, that's the final choice!" Someone among the British senior officials responded decisively.
This confrontation was just a small episode in the meeting, which reflected the vigilance of both sides, but the mainstream opinions were still discussed how to deal with it.
Since Magneto, the leader of the largest organization, has made a decision that small and medium-sized organization leaders like Scott are willing to participate, others are not qualified to object and can only listen. And the situation is indeed not optimistic, especially when the British showed evidence that the bitten soldier turned into a werewolf several hours later, even if the unwilling guy was not willing, there was nothing else to say.
Werewolf is the enemy of all human beings, whether ordinary people, mutants or other mutants. In order for everyone to survive, they must be eradicated--the people present quickly reached an agreement on this and agreed to enter the action immediately.
"In short, this is the current situation. It has reached a time when it cannot be tolerated and can no longer wait. Calculable measures must be taken to stop the situation from deteriorating. Otherwise, the threat of werewolf will soon spread from this city to the whole of England and then to the whole world. At this critical moment, I urge you to let go of the contradictions and fight together. After all, we are all human beings and all live on the same planet."
The British head asked earnestly, everyone nodded silently, and then started the deployment.
Riding on the conference room, Eric came outside. At this time, his team members were equipped. Bronsky and Deadpool could enter the battle at any time to kill the enemy with the highest efficiency. Ivan also put on modified armor, as majestic as a real war machine. As for the fourth person, the elegant gentleman, the least you need to worry about here is him.
"Boss." Fitz jogged over in a hurry, holding a confidential mobile phone for SHIELD in his hand. "The bureau just heard a message, and a level 7 alarm was issued, and Director Fury asked to make an emergency call with you."
"He wants you to answer the phone now." Zhenma added from the side, the bumpy road made her little face pale and she looked very tired.
Eric looked at his phone but did not answer it. He knew what was going on there. As early as 1943, he had carefully analyzed the cube that had happened and laid some measures against it. Seventy years have passed, and several masters have passed away, but the seeds of power lurking in the cube still exist. Even due to long-term coexistence, gradually becoming one with its host, there is no matter about this cube that can be hidden from Eric.
He knew very well that someone used this space gem to open a door and crossed the distant star field to descend on the earth. Soon, more outsiders followed and entered, but he waited for this day.
The world has its own general trend and can offset personal efforts, but when strong external forces intervene, it has to make changes.
This time it will definitely be the most profound and lasting change.
The phone kept ringing, making waves of rapid ringtones.
"Boss?" Fitz raised the communicator in his hand and urged him in confusion. Zhenma also looked over.
Eric laughed silently, took it and threw it behind his head.
"Let's go," he said, heading towards the crowd that poured out of the conference room.
Fitz was confused and was about to catch up when Jenma grabbed him from behind.
***
One hundred and thirty feet deep in the city of London, there is the world's earliest subway system, which was used as an air defense bunker during the war. During the World War, an average of 60,000 residents entered the tunnel every night, with a maximum of more than 170,000 people. At this time, no large-scale war broke out outside, but thousands of men and women of different skin colors were still gathered. Most of them were dressed in rags and their eyes were filled with tyrannical light.
There is no sun, no moon or stars here, only dim lights shine in the spacious subway stations as small squares and narrow passages that are winding up and down. Such an ancient and long, rusty place is the habitat of werewolfs. At this time, there is no longer the howling wind and wheel-beating rails that come into the station, only countless heavy breaths are rising and falling.
From the outside world, werewolf is a legendary ancient race, and has only recently jumped into people's sight and openly demanded power.
But this is not the case. All members of this race come from the same source. The werewolf leader Russian was their common father. He came to this lonely island only a year ago. But a year later he had thousands of people.
Now the werewolf father ignored the children who were asking for instructions outside, but stayed in his room and looked coldly at the screen. The city of London was showing the riots. As superpowered reinforcements continued to arrive, the chaos on the ground was being suppressed bit by bit.
"Wearing an ugly tights, hang the rice flag on your chest, but you are not Captain America, you are his shameful imitator." Russian sneered at the people on the screen, which was a native British superhero, who had just defeated two fierce werewolfs who had transformed.
"And you are a pathetic loser, self-righteous and outstanding racial representatives, but in fact you can't even protect your own woman. You can only hide from New York to San Francisco in shame - why don't you stay and compete with that person openly - because you are a coward!" On the picture, Cyclops put on glasses again, and just used a red ray to eliminate the enemy who was climbing on the wall and trying to cross the defense line.
"And you." Russian paused for a moment, then looked at the old man who flashed contemptuously. The old man wearing a black windbreaker and covered in silver hair seemed to be unwilling to be discovered, and he was always hiding behind reinforcements and did not move forward.
"I know what you are trying to do, but unfortunately you are just a fish mixed in the water. You can never jump out of the river or see the scenery on the shore. There is always only one enemy. Even if everyone forgets you, I will not forget that you brought me here. This time I will not allow you to manipulate my destiny again." With a faint mockery, Russian looked at the last scene.
At this time, Eric was walking towards the subway entrance with his men. When he passed by the monitor, he suddenly raised his head and smiled at Rucien who was behind the long line.
With a light "bang", the remote control was thrown out of the werewolf leader's hand and penetrated the face on the screen.
Russian stood up, his light blue pupils quickly turned black, and then connected an invisible bond leading to the void. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, the novel is better, updated and faster!
