"Coulson, are you trying to cover up these criminals now?!"
Colonel William Stryker was shocked and angry at this moment. The appearance of Cyclops and Storm made the situation change drastically into what it is now. He immediately ordered all soldiers to point their guns at the two mutants who were as powerful as monsters, but they were stopped by the SHIELD agents led by Coulson.
In his opinion, although there have always been frictions and conflicts between the two sides, they are all internal affairs among "human beings" anyway. At this time, they should face the outside world and capture and eliminate these "terrorists" first. That's why he is so angry!
However, faced with such a tense atmosphere, Coulson had his own ideas.
"Criminals? Isn't Colonel Stryker being too extreme? These two are just here to help stop the mutants that are running wild inside..."
After loudly stating his position, he whispered into the communicator beside his ear: "Colonel Stryker, have you ever thought about the consequences of starting a war here? And I'm afraid this consequence is not something you and the forces behind you can bear."
Coulson's voice inexplicably appeared in the communication device next to his ear, and William Stryker knew at the first time that SHIELD had used technology to hack into their communication system. If it were any other time, he would definitely take advantage of the situation, but this was not the time to fall out with the other party.
Moreover, Coulson's warning and the last glance made him very fearful. He also knew that if the two mutants were angered, few people here would survive. Although he did expose the huge danger of mutants, the price was too high. Obviously, when the time came to settle accounts, so many innocent civilians had died. As a decision maker, he would definitely be pushed out as a scapegoat. Even the forces behind him would not be able to protect him and would even be implicated.
Such consequences forced him to think carefully about whether it was worth turning against him at this time.
The answer is of course not worth it!
Anyway, the fact that mutants massacred innocent students and teachers in the school is already a foregone conclusion. Now he only needs to arrest the criminals to smoothly carry out the next plan, make the people of the whole country hate mutants, and then continue to implement his bill.
So after weighing the pros and cons, he leaned to the side and whispered threateningly: "I can give SHIELD this face, but in the end, I must let me take the prisoner away, otherwise I won't be able to explain myself, and others won't have an easy life either!"
Coulson chuckled and said, "This time, we at SHIELD only want to minimize the harm caused by this incident. Whether the prisoner is dead or alive in the end is not important to us."
One promise, doing favors for both families, and smoothly resolving the current situation. There is no better deal than this.
William Stryker was relieved after hearing what this guy said. As long as SHIELD didn't fight with him, he was confident that the two dogs sent by Professor X would return empty-handed. Otherwise, there would be no need for Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters to exist. A fierce look flashed in his eyes...
"Hmph, we'll settle this later. Teams, prepare..."
"Sniper is in place!"
"The assault troops are in place!"
. . . . . .
Just when the army was about to take action, a thin figure suddenly rushed out, and with a light wave of two bone knives, the glass door of the school shattered, and the two fully armed soldiers who were ambushing outside were also beheaded!
"The target has appeared. Repeat, the target has appeared!"
William Stryker, who couldn't wait any longer, immediately gave the order: "Fire! Kill the target!"
Originally, if the target was still inside, with so many hostages, the people outside would not dare to act rashly. But who would have thought that this idiot would rush out by himself, completely seeking death!
Although William Stryker wanted to save the lives, with so many people present and a large number of civilians and reporters watching, he could only give a conservative order to shoot. If his order to keep the lives of the targets led to their escape and caused heavy casualties, he would be court-martial tomorrow!
In an instant, a large number of weapons began to fire at the skinny "monster" covered in blood at the door, but at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Storm, who wanted to take the mutant child away, used her ability to blow the gun barrel off course, causing a large number of bullets to hit empty space. The remaining bullets that happened to hit the right spot were blocked by a thick bone shield.
Although there were crackling sounds, it failed to cause any actual damage to the target; it was merely knocked back by the impact force.
"These mutants are indeed in the same group! Coulson, what do you have to say now!" William Stryker shouted in extreme anger.
Coulson didn't expect that these two people would dare to do such a thing so blatantly. Knowing he was in the wrong, he immediately kept silent and retreated with other agents. If the situation could not be controlled, they would do their best to protect civilians.
"Those who remain outside should evacuate the crowd immediately and request support. The rest of you should aim forward and fire indiscriminately. Kill them all!"
However, although the order was given, the strong wind summoned by Storm made it impossible for them to hold their guns steadily, let alone accurate shooting, as their aim was completely off target.
The scene suddenly became extremely chaotic. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cyclops rushed towards the mutant child. In fact, he was responsible for the situation developing to this point.
Professor X just asked them to bring the mutant student back before others if they had the chance, and to give up if it was impossible. After all, it would be extremely stupid to threaten the interests and safety of the entire mutant group for the life of a new mutant. A wise man like Professor X naturally knew how to make choices.
However, the incident of being almost attacked by the military before, and William Stryker's contempt and slander against mutants, all made Cyclops furious.
In addition, the other party gave the order to shoot to death without saying a word, which made him even more unacceptable.
The prejudice between them had reached its maximum at the beginning, so at Cyclops' strong request, Storm had to cooperate with him to snatch the person.
Fortunately, they still had some rationality and knew not to hurt anyone. Although they took action, it only prevented the military from attacking them, and created an opportunity for Cyclops.
While running, Scott, who had already captured the position of the military snipers, immediately shot out several red shock waves with his eyes, turning their location into ruins. However, he controlled the situation well and no one died, but some minor injuries were inevitable.
