Chapter 323
"We have one of our safe houses out front where we can take a break."
Clarice said to Roddy.
"You guys?" Roddy looked at her, "Do many people know about this safe house?"
"Well, most of the mutants living in Liberty City know about this safe house, but don't worry, no one will reveal its location."
"In fact, most people don't know the specific location of the safe house, they only know a general area."
"But once we get to this area, we'll get a kind of guidance."
Clarice said.
Some kind of guidance?
Just when Rody was curious about what the guidance was, suddenly his eyes looked in a certain direction.
There, a very special spiritual power was emitting, covering a large area.
Is this the guidance Clarisse mentioned?
Because Rody's own psychic power was too powerful, he directly blocked this external psychic power, but Rody also sensed the opponent's position.
Clarisse, on the other hand, received the other party's guidance, turned the steering wheel, rushed out of the road, and drove deep into the dense forest.
After the car drove for a while, the vision suddenly opened up.
It is a clearing in the forest.
There is a lake about six to seven hundred meters in diameter with rippling blue water. It is a good place for fishing parties!
Clarisse parked the car by the lake.
Then he asked Roddy to get out of the car.
"Follow me."
she said.
Then walked towards the lake.
At this time, the space in front of me suddenly distorted, and then all the lakes, small docks, etc. disappeared!
What appeared instead was a somewhat dilapidated building.
The building is four stories high and looks like an unfinished building.
There is a barbed wire fence outside and there are special people standing guard.
"Clarice, you're here too."
The woman standing guard knew Clarice, smiled and said hello to her, then looked at Roddy and asked, "Is this your friend?"
Clarice nodded and said with a smile: "Introduction, this is my good friend Angel, and this is Roddy."
Rody nodded towards the purple-haired female Angel in front of him.
"It's rare for new compatriots to join. Welcome to the Liberty City safe house!"
Angel welcomed Roddy's arrival.
"Very few new mutants come here?"
Roddy asked.
Angel nodded and said: "Liberty City is actually not very suitable for us to live in, but there are always some compatriots who were born here. They are reluctant to leave here, so they would rather take a little more risk and continue to stay here."
"So we built a safe house here to provide shelter for our fellow citizens who were in trouble."
"Of course, if you are a compatriot who is passing by here, you can come and take a rest."
Rody nodded, almost understanding the nature of this place.
"By the way, Ororo and the others are here too."
Angel suddenly said to Clarisse.
"The X-Men are coming?!"
Clarisse asked, her eyes widening in surprise.
X-Men?
Rody also had a look of interest in his eyes.
"Well, they also heard about the latest plan of the Sentinel Task Force, so they all came over and planned to escort some weaker mutants out of Liberty City."
Angel said.
The reputation of the X-Men has not been as good in recent years, but it is only the same as six years ago.
Actually;
The X-Men still often come out to help some of their compatriots in the inner circle of mutants.
For example, like this time, they came here specially to escort the mutants living in Liberty City to leave safely.
After all, most mutants are actually harmless.
Their abilities may only bring some convenience to life, but they cannot protect themselves.
Not to mention;
This time they may encounter the Sentinel Task Force, in which case they will need the protection of their X-Men even more!
"Clarice, didn't you want to join the X-Men before?" Angel said, "This time Ororo is coming with all the X-Men. If you want to join them, you can follow them this time. They left together."
Going with the X-Men?
Clarice hesitated when she heard this.
Mainly because she has already found her next place to settle.
It's all been planned before.
But now the sudden appearance of the X-Men has caused some surprises in Clarice's plan. She doesn't know if she should go with the X-Men?
good!
She used to really want to join the X-Men, but to be honest, she no longer thinks so in the past six months.
Now, she still wants to live well.
An extra year of life is a year.
And if she joins the X-Men, all her previous plans will be overturned.
"Wait! What am I thinking! The X-Men may not be willing to take me in!"
Clarisse reacted suddenly.
She seemed to subconsciously think that the X-Men would definitely accept her, but in fact, no new members had joined the X-Men for several years.
Most of the current members are actually the old members from six years ago.
For newcomers...it seems like there are only two or three.
.....or.
PS: The third update is here! ! !
Let’s do three updates today, and we should be able to resume four updates tomorrow! .
Chapter 223: Task Force Sentinel is an alternative version of S.H.I.E.L.D.? The X-Men targeted by Roddy! 【First update】
"Clarice, do you want to join the X-Men?"
Coming in from the entrance, Roddy noticed that Clarice had always been a little distracted, and he guessed that it had something to do with the X-Men that Angel mentioned before.
"Well, my dream before was to join the X-Men."
Clarisse nodded and said.
Roddy keenly captured a key word - before!
That is to say;
Now Clarice's dream is no longer to join the X-Men?
"Are the X-Men still recruiting new people now?"
Roddy did not ask Clarice why she changed her dream. After all, people change. Maybe it was because she grew up and her mind gradually matured that Clarice changed her original idea.
Who knows!
"We are still recruiting, but since the mutant school closed, we don't know where to find the X-Men. I heard that they have a new headquarters in the United States, but few people know where it is."
Clarice said, "I have asked about this for a while before, but in fact I have never met any member of the X-Men. Angel is very familiar with the captain of the X-Men, Ororo, but Angel I don’t know where the X-Men are now.”
It seems like the X-Men haven't been doing well over the years!
They no longer dare to reveal the location of their base camp in the mutant circle.
Unlike when Charles was still alive, he could announce it safely and boldly. Even many senior officials in the United States knew the location of the mutant school.
But so what?
With Charles around, the top leaders of the United States at that time did not dare to take any blatant action against the mutant school.
It is only a lunatic like Colonel Stryker who would desperately target the mutant school and Professor X!
But if Professor
After all, at that time, the United States had no way to deal with mutants.
At that time, there was no Sentinel task force, and there was no device that could suppress the abilities of mutants. At that time, when facing mutants, even American officials had to be cautious and cautious!
I am afraid that if one of them does something bad, I will be killed by a group.
..857.
Entering the safe house, Roddy and the others also encountered many mutants who looked lonely.
Most of these mutants were carrying large and small bags. They had obviously rushed here from their own residences in a hurry, or some had simply lived in the safe house, but were planning to move away now.
After all, Liberty City is becoming increasingly unsafe.
Although the location of the safe house is not in Liberty City, but in a remote place dozens of kilometers away from Liberty City.
But who knows whether those members of the Sentinel Task Force will conduct a blanket search of the surrounding areas?
after all;
In the past two years, the Sentinel Task Force's search for mutants has become increasingly intensive.
In the past, we only took action after receiving reports.
But now they have begun to actively patrol the surrounding areas, looking for traces of mutants.
Moreover, the Sentinel Task Force is becoming more and more powerful. At the beginning, the Sentinel Task Force was just like its name, it was really just a group.
But as officials invested more and more resources later, more people joined the Sentinel Task Force.
And when the mutant suppression device was developed, it became even more out of control!
The Sentinel Task Force has grown from a small organization with only 20 to 30 people six years ago to today, and has become a behemoth with more than hundreds of thousands of members!
to be honest;
This reminded Roddy of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Sentinel Task Force is the S.H.I.E.L.D. of this world.
The only difference is that SHIELD's purpose is to maintain world peace.
You don’t care whether they did it or not, and how they were infiltrated by Hydra, but at least their purpose is this!
Most agents join S.H.I.E.L.D. for this concept.
Regardless of whether they later abandoned their original intention, at least the original concept was correct.
The same cannot be said for Task Force Sentinel.
They do nothing else.
There is only one thing to do from beginning to end!
That's for mutants.
