Quicksilver and Caesar still had a private running competition, with no referee and no witnesses, so only the two parties themselves knew who won and who lost.
The two of them went out at noon and came back at dusk.
Caesar was still as carefree as ever, as if nothing could interest him. Quicksilver, on the other hand, had a gloomy face, his silver hair was sticking up high as if it had been waxed, and the new shoes he had put on before going out were worn out by running.
No one mentioned Caesar and Quicksilver, and Charles and the others were tactful and didn't ask, as if they had collectively forgotten that there was a competition. Although they also wanted to know who would win the title of "The Fastest in the World" in the end.
Many years later, when Quicksilver was drunk, he said: "If you want to compete with someone in a race, you must add a restriction - no flying. Can you understand the feeling of others flying in the sky while you are facing the sunset and running on the ground like a dog?"
No matter what, Quicksilver agreed to help Charles and others go to the underground prison in the Five Star Building to rescue Eric.
The other side. Cairo, Egypt.
In the ancient town located in the golden desert, a woman dressed in local clothes was walking hurriedly among the pedestrians. She was wearing a veil covering most of her face, with only a pair of beautiful eyes exposed. If Caesar saw her, he would definitely recognize her as Mora, one of his former partners.
Mora glanced around and, based on the intelligence, came to a well-hidden, dilapidated residence behind a busy city.
After sneaking in here, Mora saw that there were people guarding the place, so he immediately moved closer to the wall. When he got closer, he used a set of clean and neat fighting skills, knocking the Egyptian man unconscious and throwing him to the ground.
Taking off the veil that affected her breathing, Mora began searching the residence and soon found a staircase leading to the basement.
It is called a basement, but in fact, it is not the bottom even after going down twenty meters. The steps become more primitive as you go down, and the walls on both sides seem to be the remains of a collapsed huge building.
"There may have been more great and famous pyramids in Egypt in the past, but some have long since collapsed and disappeared for unknown reasons."
Maura suddenly remembered something a colleague had mentioned, which she had thought was a fallacy until now.
The further down they went, the less light there was. Mora felt uneasy and continued walking down ten meters. Suddenly, the view in front of him became clear and a faint glow of fire appeared below.
"Great Almighty God, please grant us light. We are your loyal slaves..."
At the same time, the voices of dozens of people chanting in Egyptian came into his ears.
Mora was frightened, so she hid herself and crawled down to hide behind a broken pillar.
She looked around secretly and found herself in the ruins of a collapsed altar hall. A group of Egyptians lit torches everywhere and surrounded a small pyramid sculpture, worshiping and repeating the words on it.
The small pyramid is engraved with lines and runes, and it actually exudes a mysterious atmosphere.
"No way, could that rumor be true..."
Mora watched in confusion and took out the camera he carried with him to record the altar ruins, small pyramids, and the Egyptian worship ceremonies.
Since mutants appeared on the world stage a few years ago, researchers and intelligence agencies of major countries around the world have been investing more and more in research on mutants.
Then, someone was surprised to find that mutants were not born in recent years, but a mutant was born in ancient Egypt tens of thousands of years ago.
En Sabah Nur. The world's first mutant, it is said that he has the ability to transfer consciousness to other bodies, thereby extending his life indefinitely, and depriving other mutants of their innate abilities, constantly improving himself on the path to omnipotence.
The Bible even describes it as a revelation that can grant powers to others. It ordered four extremely powerful horsemen to almost rule the world.
"It's a lie, right? Legends are all lies, right?"
Mora comforted himself, but at this moment, the small pyramid suddenly lit up with strange light. This scene, which seemed like a miracle, made the Egyptians who were worshipping there scream with excitement.
Under the gaze of Mora and a group of Egyptians, the light of the small pyramid became brighter and brighter, and the underground ruins began to shake violently.
Mora ignored the fear in his heart and turned to rush to the exit behind him, using his hands and feet to escape upwards. The Egyptians who were still in the ruins not only did not escape, but cheered loudly in the shaking earthquake.
Nearly a hundred meters underground in the pyramid ruins, a man in strange clothes and with dark blue skin was lying on the altar. As if he heard the singing and cheering coming from above, he suddenly opened his eyes filled with white light, and the amazing energy that revived in his body leaked out, lifting the tremendous ruins that were pressing on him up inch by inch.
The entire Egyptian region was shaking at this moment.
Caesar, who was thousands of miles away, stopped, frowned, and looked towards the horizon as if he had noticed something.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Azazo who was following beside asked in surprise.
"No, nothing."
Caesar shook his head slightly and looked up at the American Five-Star Building in front of him. Charles and others had already entered the building to start the rescue operation. With the help of Quicksilver, it would be completed in five minutes without any accidents.
But why did he have a strange feeling
"Azazo, you stay here and wait for them. I have to go somewhere and will come back to meet you later."
Caesar acted decisively. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, his body flashed and disappeared, leaving behind a ball of strong wind.
Azazo was left with a bewildered look on his face. He looked up at the sky on his left, where a stream of white air was breaking through the clouds and disappearing at a high speed at the end of the blue sky.
Beyond the atmosphere, Caesar arrived at the near-space universe, looking down at the vast territory of the earth. Arriving here, releasing the constraints of Superman's five senses, he could roughly perceive what was happening around the world.
The complex and intensive sounds of natural and biological communication are like streams that converge into rivers and oceans.
Only about three seconds.
Caesar seemed to have sensed something and locked onto the African plate where Egypt was located. His fist rubbed against the atmosphere in front of him, generating light and heat, and he dived towards that area at high speed like a rocket.
In Cairo, at the steps of the pyramid ruins.
Mora was still desperately trying to escape upwards, but the ruins began to collapse again due to the violent earthquake. Debris and dust kept rolling down from top to bottom. When she saw that the underground exit, which was still ten meters away, was shrinking and submerged, her pretty face finally showed despair.
"Am I going to die?"
Mora's beautiful eyes dimmed as she watched the wall collapse. At the last moment of death, a low voice suddenly rang in her ears, "You are not going to die so soon."
'Boom boom boom...'
The things that were collapsing seemed to be stopped by a force.
Maura opened her eyes wide and saw a pair of big hands raised from behind her, just enough to hold up the boulder and the wall. Looking back, Caesar was looking at her helplessly.
Chapter 547 Apocalypse Revival
The ruins of the underground buildings shook violently in the earthquake, rocks rumbled down, sand and dust rolled, and it seemed that the ancient pyramid ruins that had not yet been discovered were completely buried.
"Maura, why do you always appear in dangerous places? Last time in the Hellfire Club, too."
Caesar held the collapsed boulders with his hands, looked at the pale Mora, and said unhappily: "If I had come a step later, you would have been minced meat."
"Aren't you still here?" Maura was still in shock, but the moment she saw Caesar, her soaring heart rate suddenly stabilized.
Because as long as Caesar appears, everything will no longer be a problem and all crises will be solved. This is the charm of his existence.
Caesar looked at the collapsed exit that was only the size of his face, and said quickly: "Hold me tight, close your eyes, I will take you out of here."
Maura nodded, closed her beautiful eyes, hugged Caesar tightly with both hands, and completely retracted her body into Caesar's broad arms.
Caesar protected her with one hand, clenched his right hand into a fist, then accelerated and flew towards the upper exit which was still shrinking and buried.
