'boom!'
The car smashed into the phone booth and exploded into a fireball, with glass fragments scattered everywhere.
These robots invading New York are not just one, there are many more of the same kind, they keep falling on the streets of New York like meteors, their eyes emitting scorching laser rays, wreaking havoc on buildings and cars on the road.
In just a few minutes, the central city area of New York was reduced to ruins, with fire and smoke everywhere, like the terrifying prospect of the end of the world.
"My God, what kind of monsters are those..." The cafeteria owner opened his mouth wide.
"A generation of sentinels."
Caesar whispered to himself, knowing without thinking that this was Magneto's doing.
The first generation of Sentinels already possessed some amazing attributes, such as supersonic flight, superhuman strength, combat sharing, laser rays and other abilities, but they are still unable to perfectly replicate the abilities of mutants.
The most important thing is that the first generation Sentinel is made of metal and is just a younger brother in front of Magneto.
The real threat is the second-generation improved Sentinel, which is no longer made of metal and can improve itself by constantly replicating and collecting mutants. A second-generation Sentinel can be said to be a weakened Apocalypse.
"Teacher, do you want to go over?" Qin looked at the TV and turned to ask Caesar.
"Need not."
Caesar shook his head. In his opinion, this should be Magneto's personal behavior and has nothing to do with Apocalypse.
The Sentinels were created by the superpower government specifically to eliminate mutants. Now that they are threatened by the Sentinels, they are shooting themselves in the foot.
At the moment, Magneto did not attack ordinary people, but only destroyed city blocks, which was considered as mercy.
Just as Caesar was thinking this, he saw in the live news footage that the soles of the feet of the Sentinels that were wreaking havoc in the New York city had flames from their tails like rockets. They gathered together and flew away in the same direction, leaving behind a devastated ruin.
"They ran away. Where did they go?" Qin tilted her neck in confusion.
"Where else can we go? That direction is Washington..."
The corner of Caesar's mouth twitched slightly. He was just thinking about that guy Magneto. When did he become so principled? But the next second he took the Sentinels and ran to Washington - Washington, but there is the White House, the center of government power.
You're addicted to assassinating presidents, right
Chapter 564: Battle in front of the White House
Above the sky.
Nearly twenty sentinels were at an altitude of three thousand meters. The rising golden sunlight fell on them, and the outer shells reflected a faint metallic luster. Like migratory birds, they were arranged in a triangular formation, flying at supersonic speeds close to the city of Washington, leaving white smoke trails behind them.
On the spacious back of the leading Sentinel, Eric Magneto was sitting cross-legged. He was wearing a special helmet made for him by Apocalypse and a complete combat uniform, with a gray cloak fluttering majestically on his shoulders.
"Coming… "
Magneto narrowed his eyes dangerously and looked down ahead. He could see a city sitting on the earth with countless skyscrapers rising from the ground like steel mountains and towering into the clouds.
"Washington, I'm back again."
Magneto sneered, and at this moment, a sharp buzzing sound came from his ears.
Three modernized Hawk fighters were flying at high speed towards the Sentinels. When Magneto looked over, several airborne missiles had already been aimed and fired at the Sentinels.
"You really haven't learned your lesson!"
Magneto muttered to himself, without making any movement. He just waved his hand lightly at the missiles. The airborne missiles immediately stopped moving forward, turned around in mid-air, and shot at the Hawk fighter.
The pilots flying the Eagle fighters had never anticipated this situation. Two pilots reacted in time, either maneuvering their fighters to dive down or pull up, narrowly avoiding the returning missiles.
The other one was not so lucky. It was hit by two missiles and failed to avoid them in time. The plane was destroyed on the spot and the wreckage turned into a blazing fireball and fell down.
"Number three!"
The surviving pilots cried out in unison, and then looked towards the Sentinels again, but saw Magneto sitting on the Sentinels. The pilots seemed to have seen the god of death, their faces turned extremely pale, and they immediately reported back to the ground command center:
"This is Air Force Falcon One. Falcon Three has been destroyed by missiles. The wanted criminal Magneto is on one of the Sentinels! I repeat, Magneto is with the Sentinels. I request to retreat to the base!"
"Got it, you can retreat to the base first!"
Upon hearing the order from the ground command center, the two Eagle fighters turned around and returned at high altitude without any hesitation.
Magneto's ability is to control magnetic fields. Even if everyone in the world knows this information, it is still a nightmare to deal with him outside. After all, the weapons and ammunition popular among modern humans, from guns and bullets to rockets and missiles, are basically made of metal materials. They are not as effective as a small water gun against Magneto.
"Want to run?"
Seeing the two Hawk fighters retreating, Magneto smiled coldly, and under the control of his magnetic field, four Sentinels immediately flew out of the team and chased after the Hawk fighters at an ever-increasing speed.
Ten seconds later, the two Hawk fighters were surrounded and destroyed by the Sentinels, and fell into the field below with billowing black smoke.
The Sentinels continued to fly forward in a domineering manner, passing through the sky above Washington, and under the astonished gazes of countless people, they entered the bustling city center. They were even captured by many cameras and broadcast live on advertising screens.
Magneto led the sentinel team and soon arrived above the White House. At this time, military forces had already been stationed in the White House. Special forces cars were parked on the nearby streets. Fully armed soldiers surrounded the White House, and helicopters patrolled back and forth at low altitude.
Inside the White House.
The current president, as well as a group of generals and congressmen, were staying in the closed third floor hall with trepidation. Scientist Trask looked up as if he had noticed something, and the others followed him and looked through the window of the third floor hall. They could see Magneto floating in the air, and a team of sentinels descending from the sky.
"Trask. Those robots outside, are they what you call sentinel machines created to eliminate mutants?"
The current president looked at Trask and said in a deep voice: "But now, those Sentinels are in the hands of mutants, destroying our cities, killing our soldiers, and threatening our lives."
Trask lowered his head, speechless.
"Let me ask you, can our army handle those sentinels?" the current president asked solemnly.
"According to the combat properties of the sentinels, to destroy one sentinel, at least fifty armed firepower are required. And with more than a dozen sentinels..." Trask hesitated, and finally sighed, "With the current combat power, we cannot fight back."
When the people in the conference hall heard this conclusion, their faces turned pale.
"So, now we're just going to stay in there and wait to die?" The current president's face turned livid and he clenched his fists.
The helicopters that were patrolling at low altitude near the White House uncontrollably gave up the airspace when Magneto approached due to the amazing magnetic field repulsion.
"coming!"
The armed soldiers guarding in front of the White House all raised their special firearms and aimed at Magneto who was looking forward to the descent.
"Oh? Non-metallic material?"
Magneto looked at the soldiers and the guns in their hands thoughtfully, then suddenly pressed his hands upwards, and the armed soldiers fell down like wheat.
"Even the human body has trace amounts of metal inside! Unless you replace your bodies with plastic!"
Magneto had a blank expression on his face, and his boots stepped on the ground. If it were the old him, he would not be able to do this. But with the amplification granted by Apocalypse, the magnetic field control could manipulate all the metals in this area at will.
