West's Summer [Comprehensive English and American]

Falling down through the void doesn't feel good.

Since there was no protective measures when he fell into the stairwell, and even one arm was still wrapped around Yi Laizhe, West could only curl up his body as much as possible to avoid his head-down posture.At the same time, he should stay as far away as possible from the enemy who is free falling with him, so as to prevent him from falling into a disadvantage due to lack of response after falling to the ground.

There was a sharp wind whistling by my ears, and the dim yellow lights above my head gradually faded away from my sight.Just a few seconds later, in a huge impact that could almost crush the back, Mr. Hermit felt as if he had smashed through something, and before he could react, he fell hard on the hard ground again, even if he had slowed down a lot. There is less impact, but it still makes people lose their consciousness for a moment.

Looking at the big hole in the ceiling that they just knocked out, compared with the dungeon just now, the light was so bright that it was almost dazzling, so he closed his eyes reflexively.West gasped several times, unable to move his fingers, so he could only lie on the ground like this, waiting for the severe pain that swept his whole body to fade away.

Fortunately, Yi Laizhe was not much better than him.It was obvious that he fell badly too, and the man lay motionless five steps away from West, breathing so weakly that he could hardly hear him.If it hadn't been confirmed that his chest was still trembling slightly, West might have thought that this old man was just so happy to run around like a dog.

"Don't think I don't know what you're regretting."

It was after the juvenile was debating whether he should crawl over for the fatal blow or wait until he could stand up.The old enemy beside him who seemed to have fainted suddenly said this, the voice was not loud, but it was enough to complain, almost comparable to midnight terrors, and it really scared West.

"Are you still alive?!" The words came out uncontrollably.Now that both of them are lying on the ground and can't get up, and the expected battle will have to wait, Lord Hermit simply let himself go.

"At this height, even you can't fall to your death, and it's a bit difficult to fall to my death." With a cold snort, Yi Laizhe glanced at the boy's dangling wrist at an abnormal angle on his chest: " It's not honest to lose one hand... I should have broken both of your legs just now."

"Ah."

I was too lazy to quarrel with him, and expressed my contempt with only one word.West looked around the room they fell into. The lights were as bright as day, it was empty and there were no decorations, but it was an iron wall that did not match the atmosphere at all.It seems that some terrible monster is locked up, the only entrance and exit is the encrypted thick door and the human-shaped hole in the ceiling that they have just smashed together.

A little familiar.

Stretching out his intact right hand to touch the ground, he touched the dried blood as expected.West pursed his lips in disgust. Although he believed that he could remain indifferent to most of the familiar places in this base, this alone was really unbearable.

Because, it was here that he killed Adelaide by mistake, and he walked into the darkest fork in his life.

"I have a question."

Still lying on his back on the ground, Yi Laizhe's voice came intermittently from the other end, "How did you instigate α? She died in your hands, but now she is willing to betray me for you?"

When he bred this clone, he purposely preserved all the girl's memories, just to take advantage of the undisguised anger and hatred towards West.And Adelaide has indeed become the best tool in his hands as he thought, and he has not held back in the few encounters with West... But now, when he is almost able to destroy it again When you lost the hermit, you chose to stand on the opposite side of yourself? !

Yi Laizhe couldn't figure it out.

"I did cause her death, I never deny that."

Not too surprised by this.Although he couldn't believe it when he received Adelaide's teleportation, but after thinking about it carefully, West felt that it was easy to understand:

"However, Yi Laizhe. You are the one who gave her such a painful fate from the beginning to the end. Alai's hatred for you will never be less than that for me... I can use 20 years to atone for my sins, and I am willing to accept it. Her revenge and punishment. As for you, apart from using her, you will never have even the slightest regret for the mistakes you have made!"

He couldn't read Adelaide's heart, but that didn't prevent him from reading the indifference in the girl's eyes with another kind of talent bestowed by time.Before her life bloomed, she was locked in the dark underground. Compared with that merciless fate, she also had reasons to hate the executioner who imposed this fate on her.Compared with West, Yi Laizhe, who is about to fail, obviously disgusts her more.

Therefore, West did not panic, anyway, he had already given her the right to judge himself.If it is said that Adelaide really wants to accomplish some kind of revenge, he killed Yi Laizhe and let the girl take his life away, which is already the most perfect ending in the hermit's mind.

And now, he is about to take the first step towards the finish line.

"If you can't kill me this time, you won't be the only one destroyed by me."

Already beginning to regain control of his body, West lay on his back on the ground gathering his strength, while looking at the ceiling and muttering as if he still hadn't slowed down.

He didn't look at Yi Laizhe, and his voice was very soft, but Lord Hermit knew that the man would definitely be able to hear him.

"I'm looking forward to it." It seemed that the corners of his mouth were curled up, and Yi Laizhe turned his head, his eyes were as cold as ever: "But, you won't have this opportunity..."

Almost at the moment when the words landed, the man who had been lying on the ground as if he had fallen hard suddenly sprang up, completely without the weak appearance just now.At the same time, West also supported the ground with his uninjured right arm, twisted his waist and abdomen, and kicked in the direction of Yi Laizhe with a sweeping leg, with such force that he could even hear the airflow being torn apart. bang.

However, he calculated the possible recovery limit of Yi Laizhe and the best time for his old enemy to attack, but he did not expect that Yi Laizhe, who got up, did not rush to attack him at all, but swayed his body and fought hard. He threw himself against the nearest wall with all his strength.

He only kicked the air in front of him, his body leaned forward due to inertia, and almost fell down again.West was surprised to see his old enemy almost hit the wall, and kept groping for something. Although he still couldn't understand the meaning of his action, it would not be a good thing after all.

And after such a delay, Yi Laizhe also activated the safety mechanism hidden in Migri when the hermit regained his focus.Before West could react, the lights above their heads that were as bright as day suddenly turned into a flickering dark red. The only door leading to the outside world was connected with three hidden locks, and the heavy steel plate embedded in the wall also fell down at the same time. , completely sealed the entire training ground into an impenetrable fortress!

"From now on, no one can appear in front of us again, Hermit."

Turning around, his eyes fell on the young man's bewildered face.Yi Laizhe casually laughed, and casually picked up the scalpel that someone had forgotten here from the experimental table: "As the last pastime for you and me, do you want to make a bet with me?"

"What do you want to bet on?"

Flashing warning lights cast fleeting patches of shadow in the darkness.West tore off a corner of his shirt, and tightly tied his broken left wrist. There seemed to be a gleam of clarity in his blue and empty pupils, and his eyes flickered.

"I know that you destroyed all my chess pieces, and I also know that your companion is outside the base, and can turn this place into ruins at any time."

Step by step, as if stepping on the long time of 20 years.Yi Laizhe shook his head lightly, and looked at the boy with sarcasm, as if looking at a child who had never been obedient:

"I can admit my failure, West...but I will never use my failure to fulfill your victory."

"Just now, I activated the insurance mechanism of the entire base. In 10 minutes at most, this place will completely collapse and be buried under the Alps forever. As the core part of the base, this test site will be destroyed before the base is destroyed. Locked, no one can get in. Of course, no one can get out."

"So, this also means that if you can kill me in these 10 minutes, you may still have time to destroy the insurance mechanism at my hand. And if you can't... I'm sorry, Charles Xavier is going to Lost his adopted son forever."

So, this is a 20-[-] gamble.One is the leader of the reformers, and the other is the leader of the X-Men. With both of them losing their superpowers, a close hand-to-hand battle may be just right to draw an end to this [-]-year long-cherished wish.

Either only one dies, or both die, West knows very well.Yi Laizhe really didn't intend to live anymore, and under the premise of giving it a go, all that man thought about now was to drag himself into the abyss of death together.

So far, the boy has no other choice.

However, he also does not intend to let his old enemy get his wish.

"No one outside this room expects you to live anymore, Yi Laizhe. So, you can die with peace of mind."

The corner of his mouth raised in contempt, and West looked coldly at the man in front of him who was still smiling casually, and tied a knot on his unconscious left wrist.

"And I'm different from you. I still have a reason to live...Even if it's you, it's impossible to take it away a second time."

——In any case, he will be reborn in this place that once destroyed everything for him.

……

"This place is going to collapse."

All oncoming shocks were blocked in the chaos.Mystique carried the drowsy Merlin, and Adelaide protected the two of them, blocking Cyclops and Wolverine in front, and quickly fought a bloody path under the siege of reformers, retreating outside while fighting .

And just when they were about to leave the core area of ​​this secret base, all the lights in the corridor suddenly went out, replaced by flashing red lights symbolizing danger, and falling objects constantly falling from the ceiling, which is enough to illustrate this The last habitat of the cyborgs has fallen into a precarious situation.

"So," with a calm expression, it seemed that the person who was about to be buried underground was not himself.Adelaide paused, facing Ruiwen's twitching eyes, his tone was very calm: "We have to find a way to get out."

"Of course I fucking know that I need to get out quickly!!" Pulling out the steel claws from the chest of a hapless reformer in front of him, there are still opponents several times his size rushing forward.The never-so-good-tempered Wolverine feels like he's about to explode:

"Scott, have you finished grinding?! What's so good about that broken wall!!"

Because more than half of the base was buried in the mountains, the area they were in was locked up again. If they wanted to break out, they had to drill holes in the wall.What Cyclops is doing now is to find the most suitable place to zoom in, so as to avoid directly shooting through the most important load-bearing part of the base.Otherwise, within 10 to [-] minutes, as soon as he started to make a move, the four of them would be crushed to death by the collapsed building immediately.

The job sounds simple, but in fact Cyclops is under a lot more psychological pressure than usual.After all, none of them understood the structure of the base, and the only thing they could know was a kid who had just defected, so he might not understand what they were worrying about.Therefore, with three lives in his hands besides his own, Scott remained expressionless, not even responding to Logan's ridicule, and reached out his hand very seriously to draw a circle behind them in the direction of eight o'clock.

"Here, it should be able to lead to the ground."

Thinking about whether to adjust the gears step by step later, or take the whole glasses off in one step, I chose the former after hesitating for less than half a second.Cyclops turned to ask his companions for their opinions:

"If you don't object, I'll make a hole here?"

"Hurry up!!" Wolverine, who had attracted all the firepower of the enemy, was already very tired after hitting ten, and just wanted to end the battle quickly.

"let's hit."

Nodding, I still trust the captain of the X-Men's judgment, and Mystique has no objections.And Merlin was almost unconscious on her shoulder until now, and Adelaide was too young to understand what they were doing, so naturally it was impossible to object.So, after taking a deep breath, Scott pressed his glasses, first scooped up the reformed people in front of Logan, then turned his head, and the super destructive laser light instantly broke through the entire wall, almost from the central area. It directly hit the outside of the base where Qin is now!

"It seems that you are quite accurate."

After waiting for a while, I didn't find that the surrounding collapse tended to be more violent.Logan glanced at his companion who was obviously relieved, and retracted the three sharp blades between his fingers.

"Thank you." As long as Wolverine was praising himself, Scott shrugged and raised his legs to run out along the passage he blasted out.

however.

'Boom--! ! '

Pulling back the squad leader who was almost crushed under the stone slab, Logan sideways avoided the gravel that was hitting his head, and turned his head with a dark face. As expected, he saw Adelaide protecting Ruiwen and Merlin under the wings Down, dodging a wave of collapse that almost buried the entire dungeon.

Fuck?After all the calculations, is it still not in the right place?

Cyclops is all bad now.

"Hmm...you didn't destroy the load-bearing part, but directly blew up the entire force-bearing system. You are indeed quite accurate."

Stretching out her head to observe, she then had no choice but to understand what was going on. Mystique rolled her eyes towards the ceiling: "So, how long do we have now? 5 minutes? 10 minutes?"

"..." Scott almost wanted to bury himself in the ruins.

Time has become the most precious thing at this time, and there is no delay.Having no time to lament that his luck value might be negative, Cyclops only thought for a few seconds before coming up with another remedy plan, dealing with emergencies with poignant proficiency.

Although, compared to the previous one, this plan is simply too simple and crude.

"We're going straight out."

Put on your own glasses, pick any direction and prepare to roll them off.Although the ultimate result of this approach is to further accelerate the destruction of this base, it is no longer a concern.

"Kwest..."

Seeing that Scott had already begun to demolish the wall, Logan looked at the place where the boy disappeared, and his expression showed a little anxiety unconsciously.After all, his ability is suppressed now, and no one knows how he can protect himself in this kind of place that may collapse at any time.

Wolverine thinks maybe he can take a break from the team for a while and take the guys out with him.

Nodding, obviously agreeing with Logan's proposal, Cyclops was about to agree, but he didn't expect to be interrupted directly.

"West said, you must leave here immediately. Leave him alone."

Unexpectedly, Adelaide, who had been standing quietly on the side as the background board, spoke at this moment.In fact, she has been connected with West all the time, and after telling Lord Hermit the current situation, the order he gave was just this—retreat immediately and don't delay for anything.

And the reason why he made this decision was also very simple.This base is about to collapse. If Scott and the others help him, it is very likely that all the staff will be buried in the end.Instead of this, it is better to sacrifice the least, so that they can leave this endangered building in time.

As for how Cyclops would react when they heard it, and whether they would obey his orders, West was not worried at all.After all, Adelaide is also a psychic user, and the only unaffected Merlin is still not very sober—anyway, the effect is the same no matter whether he goes out voluntarily or is brained out, so why bother arguing about whether this decision should be implemented or not?

Tilting her head, the little girl felt that what her big brother said was indeed very reasonable.

...Psychic users are really getting more and more arrogant nowadays.

So, before he had time to express his objection, Cyclops and the others couldn't help but think so when they were already standing under the snow-capped Alps to breathe the fresh air.Jean and Bond, who had been waiting outside, listened with interest to their chatter and complaints, and occasionally glanced at Adelaide who stood aside and blinked innocently.Especially 007. In his impression, this little girl was West's sworn enemy not long ago. Now that she has become one of his own, he will have a better chance to take a good look at this little guy who left a deep impression on him. .

However, even though it was Adelaide who brained out the person regardless of his will, Cyclops and the others didn't want to go back.After all, in addition to the few of them working hard on the front line, Professor X is also paying attention to every movement here in New York, thousands of miles away. Since he did not stop Adelaide, it means that the professor acquiesced in the decision of adopting his son. With the risk of annihilation of the entire army, it is better to leave everything to West and let him make the end of it.

Although this is not very worthy of West.But there is no doubt that if it was just an order from the hermit, Cyclops would still weigh it in his heart, and if Charles said it, he would never have any refutation.

So, after whispering to each other for a while, Mystique put Merlin on the ground, and motioned to Qin to find some ice packs to put on Merlin who was still dizzy and seemed to have a concussion.Cyclops and Wolverine gathered together to observe outside the still-collapsing base building, perhaps because they had absolute trust in West. Although the expressions on their faces were serious, there was no sense of tension.

Only Adelaide.

Even though she was the one who conveyed the message for West, and she was the one who brought the X-Men out, the girl stood where they ran out, looking at the collapsed buildings in front of her, eyes as green as new leaves. Suddenly, there was a trace of worry.

Now, there is only time left to end it all.And a scarred West with suppressed superpowers, facing Yi Laizhe, the most lacking thing between the two people she is most familiar with is probably time.

After nearly 10 minutes, when the hermit she thought would appear soon was still nowhere to be seen, she knew her dire premonition had come true.

The author has something to say: there are about two or three chapters left, and it can be finished in about eleven.Then I can study for the postgraduate entrance examination with peace of mind.
