[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

Although Howard couldn't see the God-calling guards, he was an old friend for many years. He immediately knew the seriousness of the matter from Kelly's expression, and restrained all the expressions of laughter: "What happened——"

Before he finished speaking, Kelly suddenly turned around and punched him directly in the cheek!Howard was taken aback, and there was no time to dodge, but Kelly's fist just brushed past his ear, and when it passed by his ear, it turned into a fist and pushed forward.A magical barrier was instantly deployed behind Howard, just in time to stop a figure that suddenly appeared behind him.Kelly had already rushed forward when she punched, almost hitting Howard's body with her whole body. She grabbed his body with the other hand and pulled him back, leading him to fly back a few steps.

Everything happened between lightning and flint, Howard's expression didn't even have time to change, Kelly had already made a move with the other party.She took a step back before she had time to see the appearance of the attacker who suddenly appeared: the attacker was dressed in black, but the exposed skin was a strange fiery red.Kelly knows him: the mutant "Red Devil", Sebastian Shaw's subordinate, has the superpower of teleportation.

Even with her extraordinary dynamic vision, she only had time to catch a glimpse, and the other party disappeared immediately.The next moment, he suddenly appeared behind the two of them, and stretched out his hand to grab Howard, but before his fingers were about to touch the two of them, an electric barrier suddenly rose from their backs.

Even though mutants usually have better physical fitness than ordinary people, he was stunned for a second by the sudden strong electric current.In just a second, Kelly had turned around sharply, one hand on Howard's shoulder and pushing him back, and the other hand popped forward in a grabbing gesture.

She seemed to be struggling to hold something, with a strenuous expression on her face.In less than two seconds, the Red Devil had recovered, turned into a cloud of red smoke and disappeared.But this time, everyone present clearly heard a slight "click".The Red Devil appeared behind Howard, but immediately fell limply to the ground and never stood up again.

"Cervical dislocation method." Kelly said coldly and let go of her hand. In front of her, where the Red Devil was originally, two or three cervical vertebrae fell from the air and landed on the ground with a rattling sound. Blood and spinal cord came from inside. flowed out.Kelly turned around and looked directly at Chris who had just rushed in from the gate: "It's too dangerous, Chris!"

"I'm an adult!" Chris protested dissatisfied, "My mother and I received Elizabeth's Patronus! Shaw went to Dad's place?!"

"Where's Peggy?!" Kelly asked immediately.

She didn't need to answer this sentence, because Peggy had already rushed in through the door.Kelly only hesitated for a moment whether to take Howard with him or not—compared with others, he is a complete scumbag, and it is very likely that he will encounter danger if he is taken there.However, just now he was attacked by the Red Devil.Kelly wasn't sure if it was because he was standing with her and the red devil came after the Patronus, or if the target was him in the first place.If Howard has become a target, it would be more dangerous to keep him here.But the moment she hesitated, Howard had already grabbed her backhand: "Take me with you! Who else knows how to control the nuclear bomb launch system?!"

Kelly was speechless for a moment.Yes, not many people know how to control that system. Since Xiao has already attacked there, she doesn't expect the operators there to survive.Only she and Bucky can guarantee to learn how to operate quickly. Hank still doesn't know if he will use that system. After all, although he is a genius, he has never been exposed to a nuclear bomb launch system.She herself is considered the main combat force, and it is impossible to leave the field for a long time; Bucky will probably not be there, and Hank is the only one after all.Even if it's for insurance, it's better to bring Howard with you than to come back to find him when the time comes.She nodded decisively, held out her other hand for Peggy and Chris to grasp, and Apparated without hesitation.

The next moment, they had already appeared in Colorado.Steve and others are stationed at the cave military base known as the most heavily guarded in the world - the Cheyenne Mountain military base that has just been built.The military base has been basically completed, but equipment debugging and material transportation are still going on, and most of the military personnel who will work here have not yet been stationed.It is precisely because of the need to transport a large amount of combat supplies and frequent personnel exchanges at this stage that the Roaring Commando was specially transferred to be on duty temporarily.

The defense here is tight, and the level of secrecy is extremely high. Kelly has only been here once, and she has not even been able to enter the base.When she reappeared with a few people, she landed at the foot of a mountain away from the base.She drew her wand, and a stag galloped away, disappearing into the distance.

"Have they landed?" Peggy asked.Kelly nodded.After a while, Elizabeth's gazelle galloped over again: "We are confronting each other at the gate of the base."

The four looked at each other, and they all clearly saw each other's palpable worries.Kelly took them to apparate again without hesitation, and when she appeared, she had landed at the gate of the base.Her placement was spot on - in front of them were Charles and Eric standing in the front, followed by other mutants, including her two underage daughters - Elizabeth and Roxie.But after a brief glance, Kelly never paid attention to the others.Her attention was completely taken away by the scene in front of her: standing in front of them were four people, three of whom were wearing helmets that could isolate telepathy, namely Sebastian Xiao, "White Queen" "Emma Foster, a mutant nicknamed "Torrent".The only one left was Bucky, who was strangled by Xiao.

"Ah, you're finally here." Xiao said unhurriedly.Kelly pushed the three of them back and took a few steps forward: "Don't hurt him. You can discuss what you want."

Charles and Eric turned to make way for her, and Kelly stepped forward.Without the cover of their bodies, she could clearly see the mess behind the four of them, with several corpses lying on the ground, but luckily none of them were people she knew.Steve and the Howling Commandos were huddled on the side of the road, several of them seemed to be wounded, and only Steve and three or four others were able to stand firmly in the front.But there was also fear in his eyes: they all knew that Sebastian Xiao's ability was to absorb energy and release energy, but no one knew how much energy he had absorbed before coming here.None of them had the confidence to knock Xiao down before he could react. As long as he suddenly released the energy equivalent to a cannonball, even Kelly couldn't guarantee that he would be able to save Bucky in time.

Xiao showed an evil smile: "My request has already been said before, but I don't mind making another exception for the only magician in the world, just count it as me thanking you for enlightening me."

"What inspiration?"

"I saw your paper, and your theory about radiation mutations is very interesting." Xiao said, "However, once the mutants are awakened, they can't resist high doses of radiation. I'm so disappointed. Over the years , I have been thinking about how to solve this problem?"

Mutants are unable to resist the radiation caused by nuclear war, which Kelly rushed to write in the second paper.After all, she was worried that Xiao would use various methods to trigger a nuclear war, so she simply warned him in advance. If he knew about this, he should understand that the idea of ​​triggering a nuclear war to destroy human beings and leaving only mutants on the earth will not work— —Doing so will only destroy humans and mutants alike.

"Later I heard that this base was established, which gave me a new way of thinking." Xiao still said with that evil and cruel smile, "It's actually very simple, since not every mutant can resist radiation like me , that's okay, they can hide in a place that is resistant to radiation, can't they? Let's say—here."

"The order for us to come here, you will intervene later." Steve asked in a deep voice, "Just to use us to attract all the mutants from Xavier School?"

"It seems that the effect is not bad, isn't it?" The White Queen answered him.Almost at the same time, Xiao grabbed Bucky's neck tightly: "Don't think about holding a wand, Cosmo. You should be very aware of my ability, as long as I release a little bit of energy, your husband's neck will no longer exist .”

Kelly calmly retracted the hand that was moving towards the wand. "Do you want us all to stay here and start a nuclear war?" she asked. "But as far as I know, it's just going to be an underground nuclear weapons control center. It's not really programmed for it."

While speaking, she ruthlessly fought back the wave of telepathy initiated by the White Queen.The White Queen exclaimed, with a trace of pain on her face.Xiao only glanced at her, and Steve immediately followed up and said, "That's right, you guys came a little early, and the nuclear weapons control system will be installed by next week. Where did you get the news? To prevent spies , The news released is all wrong, and only a small number of people know the exact time."

As soon as he answered the words, Xiao's attention immediately shifted to him, but Kelly did not relax. She fixed her eyes on the White Queen and cast Legilimency on her.Unlike telepathy, Legilimency can only be activated by looking into the other person's eyes - but is therefore completely unaffected by the helmet they wear.

The White Queen has telepathic ability and extraordinary spiritual power, and the two started a tug-of-war in her spirit.After all, it is the opponent's home court, and the White Queen has a considerable advantage. However, Kelly's mental power is stronger than hers, and she doesn't have to worry about destroying the "battlefield". She firmly holds the offensive, although she has not been able to break through the opponent's mental defense line, but was never repelled by the opponent.After only a moment of stalemate, Kelly suddenly withdrew her mental power.

In only half a minute, Steve had just finished speaking, but the White Queen was already in a cold sweat.Kelly noticed Xiao's suspicious gaze, and immediately explained calmly: "She attacked me first, but she didn't have enough strength. It's not surprising that I fought back, right? After all, if you really want to negotiate cooperation with us, you can't Put on the airs of bullying before ruling the earth."

As she expected, Xiao is not a person who attaches great importance to feelings. Even for the White Queen who followed him faithfully all the way, he didn't mean to stand up for her at all. He just warned her with a sneer, basically even There is little deterrence.But for quite some time, it was impossible for the White Queen to have the power to spy on other people's thoughts.Charles' voice immediately rang in her mind: "What are your plans?"
