Chapter 596: The Shadow of Nuclear War
Outside the screen, Eric Lensherr frowned. Although he had foreseen this result from the answer he just answered, seeing Darwin's sacrifice with his own eyes still made him feel uncomfortable.
The situation of mutants is already very bad, and they should unite. Darwin Aman is brave and full of responsibility. It is really a pity that such a person died in the civil war of mutants.
Logan Howlett crossed his arms at this time: "How can a group of children with no fighting experience be able to fight against experienced and elite fighters? I have to say, in the video, you and Charles tried to win by recruiting this group of innocent children War is such a stupid idea, luckily I didn’t join you.”
Eric Lensherr glanced at him coldly, "Listen, Logan, every mutant must experience the baptism of blood and fire sooner or later, otherwise the only thing waiting for them is death, or just like you, They were reduced to a vicious dog with a chain around their neck and controlled by others. They are indeed children, but only by experiencing these pains can they grow. This is how I came through step by step!"
A vicious dog with a chain around its neck?
Logan Howlett snorted coldly, tugged on the soldier tag engraved with the word Wolverine on his neck, and said through gritted teeth: "That's enough, I will wash away all this shame, and I will never procrastinate like you." madness!"
During their argument, the light screen video continued. Time came to the next day. Eric Lensherr and Charles Xavier arrived belatedly and saw the ruins of the base, as well as Raven. , Hank and several other lost and painful children.
After learning what happened and Darwin Aman's sacrifice, Charles Xavier sighed and planned to send them away. He blamed himself a little. Maybe he regretted his original choice. He should not have recruited these children and put them through a painful life. Torture, but these children are unwilling to leave. They are either homeless or angry and want to avenge the sacrifice of Darwin Aman.
Seeing that Charles Xavier was hesitant, Eric Lensherr said: "We will avenge Darwin!"
Charles pulled him aside, frowned and told him his concerns. These were children who had not grown up, but Eric Lensher said: "No, they have grown up."
That's right, after experiencing this pain and blow, Raven, Hank and others seemed to have experienced a transformation, like fledglings that had just grown their feathers and jumped from a high place, even if their heads were broken and bloody. , but also experienced the feeling of flying. This is the step that a young bird must go through to become an eagle!
Compared to the sentimental Charles Xavier, Eric Lensherr was obviously much more iron-blooded and decisive. He emphasized that Sebastian Shaw had already created his own mutant army and showed his power at this time. If they want revenge, they must also build their own power.
Charles Xavier was convinced, but he felt that these children still needed to be trained, no, not just Raven and others, but also himself and Eric Lensherr.
Alex, Raven and others had no objections to receiving training, but Hank raised a question. The CIA leader who took them in was killed and the base was destroyed. They had to find a suitable place to conduct training. train.
Charles Xavier said that this was not a problem at all, and then he took them to his luxurious manor. Looking at this vast, magnificent and luxurious manor, except for Raven, everyone else was naturally attracted by it. After being calmed down, Eric Lensheer complained: "Charles, to be honest, I really don't know how you survived...the difficult environment."
Eric Lensherr in the video always thought that Charles Xavier also experienced the same miserable childhood as himself, because most mutants are like this, and there are many who are disgusted, feared and even abandoned by their parents after birth. , Ruiwen is an example.
Only now do I know that Charles Xavier is a different kind of person. I think about the humble and all-out efforts I made when I was a child in the concentration camp to fill my stomach and survive, and Charles lived in this luxurious mansion like a castle. In the days when we had plenty of food and clothing, of course I felt a little unbalanced. We all were poor children. Why did your style of painting completely change?
Eric Lensherr, who was outside the screen, saw this and shook his head: "On the one hand, people's character is innate, and some traits and dispositions are deep in the bones. But on the other hand, it is also affected by the environment in which they grow up. Charles's Naiveness and weakness are obviously related to his wealthy life. We had nothing from the beginning, but he was different."
Logan Howlett raised his eyebrows, feeling that what this guy said made sense, "Maybe, but to be honest, between you and Charles, I think he is more pleasing to the eye."
Eric Lensheer glanced at him and thought that this stubborn guy looked tough, but deep down he was also weak. His toughness and animality were all to protect the weakness deep inside.
Attention returned to the video. Just when Charles Xavier brought a group of mutant companions to his mansion to train them, the international situation was also turbulent. Sebastian Shaw found senior Soviet officials and forced him to promote the Soviet Union in Cuba deployed nuclear weapons to stimulate the already tense situation between the United States and the Soviet Union in an attempt to provoke a nuclear war.
Obviously, in the mutant world, some major historical events and backgrounds are very similar to the Avengers, Batman, and Superman's Earth, but they are also very similar in many places. The Cuban Missile Crisis was caused by the increasingly severe strategic situation between the United States and the Soviet Union in other worlds, which perfectly fits the so-called one hand cannot clap. The imminent nuclear war is the responsibility of both sides. The constant pressure and nuclear blackmail of the United States on the Soviet Union are also one of the important reasons for the Cuban crisis.
But in the mutant world, this earth-shaking crisis was fueled by the ambitious leader of the mutants, and even dominated the occurrence of all this. Sebastian Shaw placed pawns on both the United States and the Soviet Union, provoking each other back and forth, just like a behind-the-scenes manipulator.
In other worlds, the Cuban crisis was finally a false alarm, but in this world, if there is no interference from other external forces, a nuclear war sweeping the world may really be the future!
Sebastian Shaw and the mutant army around him have demonstrated unparalleled power. The audience outside the screen now understands one thing: the only ones who can effectively stop him and stop this conspiracy are Charles Xavier and Eric Lansherr, a group of mutants who stand on the side of justice and peace.
