Chapter 23: Their Actions
Looking at the treasure chest in his hand, Lu Chen's eyes were a little eager, but at this time it was not the time to open him, Lu Chen would not use it immediately even if he found advanced props.
Lu Chen, who had absorbed crystal cores in the past, had experience and knew that the upgrade would not be over in just a few operations. The space would instill some rules in the contractors, and it would take time to absorb and comprehend those things, and the contractors in the absorption stage would be much lower.
At that time, Lu Chen only absorbed two crystal nuclei and passed two weeks in a half-dead situation. This time it was something that Magneto exploded, so Lu Chen had to find a safe place to take action. Therefore, Lu Chen did not mean to open him immediately.
Not long after Lu Chen came back, the Demon-shaped Woman also came back. At this time, she didn't know that Magneto was dead, and was still thinking about ways to save Magneto.
Lu Chen did not disclose the news that Magneto was dead. Seeing her working hard there, Lu Chen still had some use for her. It was not convenient to disclose it, so she could only discover it herself. I believe that with her intelligence network, it doesn’t take much time to know, and it won’t delay Lu Chen’s arrangement.
Lu Chen has a clear plan, and even the Iron Fist chases Lu Chen, he will not be shaken. However, the contractors on the X-Men are a little confused.
Looking at the newly issued mission in the space, they all looked at each other. The most depressing thing was the bullet trio. At this time, Manniu scratched his head in trouble and asked his two teammates in confusion.
"What's going on with this mission? Does the space require us to join forces with that black robe?"
"According to the space's mission prompts, I'm afraid it's true."
"Damn it, then what's the point of our previous fight to kill life? Are you playing? What exactly is the space playing?"
Bullet and Le Lu were having a troubled conversation, and the think tank Bullet in this team was constantly thinking about why this happened.
Soon he had a rough guess, "Is this the case?" he murmured to himself.
Er, his expression was seen by his two teams. Seeing him showing such a look, how could the two people who were familiar with him not knowing that he had already understood something?
The impatient Manniu had a straightforward personality. He started asking first.
"What the hell is going on? Don't lose our appetite, just tell us."
"Don't be so anxious." Although he said this, he still told his team what he thought of.
"It seems that the contractors who came to this mission world are not only our two teams. There are other contractors who came to this world. From the beginning, the space was ready to let us compete for the hegemony, rather than to divide them into two teams and battalions normally. Although the mission in this space is intended to let our two teams cooperate, there are still differences in camps. Kill them can still obtain the Bloody Cube."
I have to say that he is still a little wise. It is good to be able to calculate that there are three parties coming, but the lack of intelligence makes him think that the third party is the contractor who has already arranged it. He thinks that the space has long planned to let the three parties compete for hegemony.
But the real situation is that the group of people who came in the end were completely indiscriminately and came to chase Lu Chen. Of course, these were not the fault of the bullet. After all, he had too little intelligence. Even if a smart person wanted to reason about something, he had to rely on intelligence. Without intelligence, even Zhuge Liang would have to be blinded even if he came.
"That is to say, our two teams are still the same as before, and we will continue our mission."
That bull has a straightforward personality and uses a strong voice to get up.
For Manniu, bullets are still very friendly. He is on the front line in every battle and saves him, the magic gunman, countless times. He explained to him patiently.
"Of course it's not that simple. Space gave a prompt to let our two teams join forces. Obviously, it wouldn't be arranged at will. The group of people who came in the end should be very strong. The strong ones made Space think that one team was fighting against our two teams to join forces."
"Now our mission is not to be done anymore, and joining forces with them is not a bad thing, but we don't need to help them. Our mission with them is probably the same as one stage, and we have to part ways in the end. Now we go back directly to meet with the X-Men."
"We all did useless work this time. We wouldn't have accepted this task if we had known it."
They wanted to fight against Lu Chen, and they used Lu Chen's prestige to establish their prestige in the team. Lu Chen was so strong that as long as they successfully stopped Lu Chen, they would have a lot of say in the team. And when they discussed at the beginning, they also gained a lot of benefits with this proposal.
But these have become meaningless with the new round of missions in the space. They have become useless against Lu Chen, and they have done useless work, and even made enemies with Lu Chen. While other contractors are busy with these things, they have become familiar with the X-Men.
They had lost the initiative, so when they just said that they were going back, the bullet's face was obviously not very good-looking, which was right. No matter who it was, it was only when the face was about to succeed and the face was good-looking.
This time they were really cheated by space. No, it would be better to be cheated by those who were Tie Fist.
Not mentioning the people who left, Lu Chen didn't have long been in the room, the Demon-shaped Woman came back. At this time, she had not found a way to rescue Magneto, nor did she know that Magneto was dead. However, Lu Chen knew that this was temporary, and soon the Demon-shaped Woman understood.
When the Demon-shaped Woman was in the room, Lu Chen was always very honest and did nothing out of order. He was clearing his suspicion. The Demon-shaped Woman didn't feel about Lu Chen's honest behavior. When he entered this world last time, Lu Chen was always very honest. She already thought that it was Lu Chen's nature.
Just four hours passed, and as Lu Chen expected, the magic-shaped woman suddenly received a call, and the message of Magneto's death came from there.
When she first heard the news, the magic-shaped woman yelled at the microphone in disbelief and asked what was going on and if it was true.
She really wanted to hear the other person telling that this was fake news. Magneto was still alive, but all this was destined when Lu Chen took action. Magneto died and could not be resurrected.
After hearing the clear answer, the magic-shaped woman hung up the phone tiredly and lay on the sofa. The Magneto's blow was too big on the magic-shaped woman.
Seeing her heartbroken appearance, Lu Chen felt a little guilty. But soon, the guilt disappeared, and now there is no time to give him guilt.
Lu Chen walked directly to the demon-shaped woman who was lying on the sofa. Although he knew what was going on to hit the demon-shaped woman, Lu Chen still asked in a hypocritical way what was going on.
"Magneto is dead, we are all finished, and the mutants are all finished."
Lu Chen's question made the demon-shaped woman raise her head, and she smiled a little crazy, but the content in the words was shocking. However, her words were not wrong. Without Magneto's words to deal with General Shrek, once General Shrek's plan was successful, the mutants would indeed not escape this disaster, and all deaths were very likely.
"Magneto is dead, how could it be? How could it be as powerful as he can die? Damn it, could it be those prison guards? I am going to kill those guards to avenge Lord Magneto."
As soon as the Demon-shaped Woman's words came out, Lu Chen and the Poisonous Snake both showed horror. Of course, Lu Chen's surprise was completely pretending to be so that the Demon-shaped Woman would not be suspicious.
The Venomous Snake's surprise was real. She secretly looked at Lu Chen and saw the surprised expression shown by Lu Chen. She already understood that all this was not that simple, and Lu Chen must have done something in it.
If the enemy did this, there was no doubt that there must be any conspiracy, but Lu Chen was her companion. The poisonous snake understood that it was Lu Chen's layout. Although she knew some clues, she also followed Lu Chen's instructions and did not reveal any flaws.
But at this moment, she felt a little bitter.
"I don't know anything about such an important thing. Sure enough, am I still an outsider to him?"
Lu Chen didn't know the bitterness in the poisonous snake's heart. At this time, Lu Chen was like a rampage mutant, and his abilities were leaked. His expression was full of murderous intent, as if he was about to go to the prison to kill the guards immediately.
However, all this was stopped by the Demon-shaped Woman. As the deputy next to Magneto, she was not so easily defeated.
In the past few minutes, she eased the atmosphere, and then shouted at Lu Chen with some anger: "Shut up, now is not the time to talk about these things."
After pausing, her voice eased a little: "Since it was the information given by that person, it is basically certain that Magneto's death has been confirmed. He will not joke about such things. Now what we should think about is what we should do."
"What should I do? Of course, I will avenge Lord Magneto and kill all the guards."
"After Magneto's death, it has been taken over by the military. We will undoubtedly go there and die now."
"Then let's wait here. We have enough time. I don't believe that those soldiers have been staying in prison and not leaving." Lu Chen used to show that he was supreme in mutants. When he spoke, he had no good impression of ordinary humans, which made people think he was a person who fought with him at a disagreement.
"We don't have time now, let me tell you the truth. Shrek has prepared a plan for extinction mutants. I came here to rescue Magneto to prevent the implementation of this plan. If Shrek succeeds, we will all die, and the prelude to this plan is almost completed."
Magneto was imprisoned very early, but the Magic Girl only came to rescue Magneto until now. Although this was due to the strict prison defense some time ago, the more reason was that the Magic Girl was unwilling to take such a big risk. She was very loyal to Magneto, which is indeed true, but she was still a little hesitant to save Magneto after giving her life.
The reason why she didn't hesitate this time was because she learned about Shrek's plan from one channel, and she was preparing to let Magneto come out in order to save her life.
"How is that possible? Are you sure this plan is true." Lu Chen was a little panicked.
"I will lie to you if I have such an important thing."
Hearing the Demon-shaped Woman's words, Lu Chen murmured backwards in disbelief, and sat on the sofa behind him, feeling a little disappointed like the Demon-shaped Woman, as if he had no backbone.
Seeing that Lu Chen and the Demon-shaped Woman were a little silent, the poisonous snake in the room could not stand such a depressing atmosphere, so he asked carefully.
"What should we do now?"
Lu Chen turned a deaf ear to her words as if she hadn't heard them, and finally the demon-shaped woman spoke.
"Since Lord Magneto has passed away, it is meaningless for us to stay here again. Now we will go back to our base first. I will also find some helpers. This time it is a disaster for all mutants, and that group of people cannot escape."
She was talking about the X-Men. Although they had different ideas from Magneto and were divided into two camps, they didn't want their fellow races to die.
Moreover, they themselves didn't want to die. At this time, the demon-shaped woman went to them and told them the truth. It was almost inevitable to cooperate now.
Of course, Lu Chen had no meaning in this regard. Lu Chen agreed, and the poisonous snake was also very obedient. Soon, Lu Chen cleaned up the room with the demon-shaped girl and left the tavern.
However, halfway through the way, they separated. Lu Chen used the excuse of having a grudge against the group of people and asked the Demon-shaped Woman to meet the X-Men alone, while Lu Chen himself stopped in a hotel in the same place.
The reason why Lu Chen couldn't get through was very simple. He was afraid of fighting with the contractors on the opposite side. At this time, Magneto had lost the power of Magneto. However, the contractors on the opposite side found many X-Men. These X-Men had a bad impression of Lu Chen.
Under such circumstances, Lu Chen could really fight with the group of contractors in the past. Although the two sides had a tendency to unite, Lu Chen and they were still in the two camps and did not merge.
The current X-Men world is like the Three Kingdoms battle for hegemony. Lu Chen and the group of contractors are weaker than Iron Fist. They can be regarded as Wu and Shu, while Iron Fist is powerful, just like Wei.
Now under the threat of Iron Fist, Lu Chen is willing to form an alliance with the opponent, but when he sees Lu Chen weak, they will not let Lu Chen go, so it is best not to meet at this time.
After the Demon-shaped Woman left, Lu Chen and the Viper lived in the room, but this time it was no longer a single room. The Viper is Lu Chen and one person. As soon as the room was separated, Lu Chen told the Viper that he had something to go out and asked her to wait in the room.
The poisonous snake was originally going to follow, but was rejected by Lu Chen. What he is doing now is not easy for the poisonous snake to watch.
Seeing Lu Chen's departure, the poisonous snake was a little depressed. She also knew that this would not work. Lu Chen took action several times. The poisonous snake could do very little. If this continues, one day, Lu Chen will abandon her. Although she knew this, the poisonous snake was still helpless. After all, her strength was too low. She could provide too little help to Lu Chen, and she would not have much time to train now. (To be continued.)
