Tea at the Police Station / It's My Turn to Perform

The era of Skynet's rule was still within the realm of civilization, and weapons like the Skyfire Greatsword (pseudo) that could unleash Honkai energy were simply their nemesis.

However, compared to Kevin's advantage of having a weapon that could counter him, the battle between Logan and Colossus has reached a stalemate.

While these two can easily defeat the T-800, brute force is completely useless against the T-1000 and TX, which are made of liquid metal.

Worse still, the Liquid Terminator are not only equipped with powerful particle cannons, but they also have replicas of Logan's Adamantium claws!

As time went on, Kevin noticed that Storm's control of lightning and Iceman's frost abilities had a diminishing effect on the Terminators.

Not only is the antidote weakening the X-Gene, but this Terminator has also linked its data with the Sentinel Robot and is evolving at an astonishing rate!

Kevin was secretly alarmed, which strengthened his desire to finish the battle quickly.

"Let's put him at the center and lend a hand!"

Steve noticed the specific purpose of Kevin's weapon, immediately took the round shield, and bravely withstood the Heavy Machine Gun fire, yelling at Colossus and Logan who were fighting alone nearby.

Logan, a veteran of both World War I and World War II, naturally understood the urgency of forming a team. He and Colossus, who was also struggling, immediately moved towards Kevin's location.

As the concentration of the antidote continues to increase, the effects are particularly noticeable on ranged damage dealers like Iceman and Storm.

Now, even Logan and others with their amazing healing abilities are finding that the healing speed of their wounds is slowing down.

Although the number of Terminators in front of us has been reduced to about 20, their resistance to various superpowers has been greatly increased, and their attack patterns have been roughly figured out.

The moment the team regrouped, Colossus was responsible for tanking damage and pushing forward, Logan was responsible for flanking and harassing, Steve needed to provide support from both the front and rear, and Kevin was naturally the main damage dealer.

With the combined efforts of the four, the number of Terminators was drastically reduced, and one by one, the robots pinned to the ground were pierced by Kevin's Great Sword.

Under their frantic advance, the remaining Terminators gathered before a ring-shaped, gear-like object, seemingly preparing for a desperate last stand.

Just then, Iceman, Storm, and Shadowcat, who were resting in the Ruins, heard a rustling sound amidst the billowing dust.

Immediately, nearly a hundred spider-like mechanical insects with eight pairs of abdominal legs crawled out from all sides and, after closing in, launched themselves directly at the chests of the three men!

"Ah..."

The piercing scream of a woman caused the four men who had charged into the enemy ranks to change their expressions and prepare to retreat.

Unexpectedly, a TX walked out from inside, his tone icy.

"To see the people on the plane, go to Three Mile Island and exchange them for an X-Gene sample of the same grade. Five days..."

Then, the TX Terminator pressed his hand against the massive gear-shaped metal door. With a surge of powerful energy, a rift resembling a spatial tunnel formed in the center of the gear.

The assault team, worried about the three men behind them, could only watch helplessly as the Terminators calmly withdrew.

However, as more people passed through, cracks began to appear on the gear-shaped metal door.

The moment the last four Terminators stepped into the dark rift, the strange teleportation device exploded, blasting the transport vehicle and passengers into the sky.

In an instant, the air in front of everyone suddenly collapsed and then exploded, sending a huge mushroom cloud into the air.

"Cough cough..."

Colossus, now back in his normal human form, struggled out of the three-foot-thick layer of mud. After regaining his normal human form, he coughed violently.

With his skin torn and flesh ripped open, Logan shook his dazed head and crawled out from under Colossus, his muscles writhing as he squeezed out the metal sheet, the wounds tangling and healing.

Kevin and Steve, who hid behind the two to avoid the shockwave of the explosion, were unharmed despite the ringing in their ears, thanks to their quick thinking.

"Thank goodness you're all alright."

Iceman, Storm, and Shadowcat, all unharmed, came to check on the situation and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that everyone was alive.

"We heard screams, what just happened?"

Colossus pulled Logan up and asked Storm and the others with concern.

The Shadowcat, its face flushed red, pulled a spider-shaped mechanical insect from its pocket.

Well, the fear of these multi-legged insects is just instinct.

With Iceman smoothing things over, Logan, though not looking too pleased, ultimately managed to suppress the urge to demand answers.

The mechanical parasites in Biohazard Crisis can control human minds!

Kevin noticed the distinctive red crystal on top of the mechanical bug and frowned slightly.

He then looked around and found that the slope, which had been somewhat undulating before, had now turned into a large pit seven or eight meters deep.

Scattered on the surface of the steaming soil were metal fragments from the former gear-shaped giant gate.

The commander picked up one of them, but the charred thing had long since lost its original function.

Sure enough, this Terminator that traveled from another era not only possessed the ability to evolve on its own, but also carried some groundbreaking technological products.

Based on the Terminators' statements before they left, this attack seemed more like a scheme to collect the X-Gene and experiment on the Second-generation Sentinel Robot.

It seems that in these three months, not only has Judgment Day arrived, but at this rate, even without nuclear weapons, if they complete the evolution of the Second-generation Sentinel Robot, they can still stir up a bloodbath!

Chapter 252, Section 266: The Police Station Invites You for Tea

"The professor and his team have been kidnapped. What's the plan? Should we notify S.H.I.E.L.D.."

At this moment, Steve noticed the somber atmosphere and went over to inquire.

However, Wolverine and the others shook their heads in unison. The situation among mutants was very delicate, and with Magneto's escalation and Professor X's disappearance, it was difficult for the X-Men to trust the human side.

After all, the scattered weapons from before all bore traces of the military to some extent.

Moreover, Skynet Project was a military-led project, and anyone with a brain could see that these robots were heavily involved with the other side.

"We've decided to go back to the Mutant School first, then head to Three Mile Island!"

Doctor Beast, who was currently considered the spiritual leader, dusted himself off and solemnly announced to Kevin and Steve.

"A wise choice..." Kevin nodded slightly. Going to Three Mile Island now would probably play right into their hands. Not only would they fail to get rid of Professor X and his group, but they themselves would also get caught up in the mess.

Since they need to exchange X-Gene samples from mutants, obtaining samples from Mutant School would provide leverage. Furthermore, if they could persuade Magneto, the nemesis of metallic life forms...

With subsequent actions, they will have a great chance to turn the tide.

"Don't worry, we'll help cover things up here..."

"You need to act quickly, before the military decides to take full-scale action against mutants..."

Kevin clearly anticipated everyone's concerns, and after discussing it with Steve, they decided to stay behind to take responsibility for the fierce battle, and then head to Three Mile Island to reunite with them.

Firstly, it can relax the sensitive nerves of mutants; secondly, even if they, as members of a government organization, went, Magneto might not give them face.

On the contrary, Wolverine and others, who were in dire straits, were able to gain the sympathy and help of the Brotherhood of Mutants.

After all, this isn't the first time Professor X and Magneto have had a love-hate relationship.

"Okay! We'll wait at Three Mile Island!"

Logan nodded slightly, then punched Kevin and Steve on the shoulders. The other X-Men members then each showed their goodwill to the two in their own way.

They are pacifists among mutants and prefer to coexist peacefully with the human race.

If Kevin and his companion were to be present on the upcoming trip to Three Mile Island, Magneto and the radical faction within the Brotherhood would be somewhat restrained, preventing a complete break with humanity.

"We've got the situation in mind here, and we've already made progress on the weapon to counter them."

Kevin once again reassured the flustered mutants and watched them leave.

"Natalia's call went through..."

Steve pulled out his heavy, old-fashioned machine and tossed it to Kevin. Then he leaned against a tree stump, frowning as he pondered how to break the deadlock.

After the brief communication, Kevin's doubts remained unresolved.

"There are still no results from the survey of attendees at the first expo?"

Seeing Kevin's somewhat unpleasant expression, Steve took the initiative to go over and ask him what was wrong.

"Tony's detector was a success, detecting traces of nanobots infesting more than a dozen people..."

"But just ten minutes ago, nearly half of the parasites appeared to have died at the hands of the mutants..."

Kevin's face darkened, and he grew increasingly wary of the Red Queen.

Artificial Intelligence in its pure form is not scary, but those that have learned to be cunning are a real problem.

"Sentinel Robot... or Terminators?"

This Captain America, seemingly foolish but actually wise, immediately noticed the shadows left behind at the scene of the parasites' deaths.

He had already witnessed the Sentinel Robot replicating mutant abilities. The mastermind behind this, who could make good use of these pawns and smear mutants, was basically none other than the Red Queen.

Once conflict is stirred up between mutants and humans, these mechanical creatures, who are single-mindedly focused on exterminating humanity, will naturally be able to take advantage of the chaos.

"What about Stryker?"

Thinking of this, Steve couldn't help but mention the key figure in the military's [Skynet Project].

The commander's expression shifted between light and dark, then, under Steve's puzzled gaze, he gave a slight, wry smile.

"It's been tested... General Stryker is a pure human, not a parasite..."

Steve understood, and his expression was equally unpleasant; he certainly knew the consequences.

Currently, within the YoRHa Unit, 2B is dead, Scanner Unit 21's stance is unclear, and A2, who plays a crucial role, has fled with Sarah, the Mother of New Humans...

With the conflict between mutants and humans escalating, and the Brotherhood of Steel growing in power, they're likely preoccupied with their own survival...

Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D.. has been thoroughly infiltrated by Hydra, leaving leaks everywhere, and is already struggling to protect Kevin and others who destroyed Cyberdyne Systems.

Now that Natalia's investigation has revealed that another group of people who participated in the first exposition have mysteriously died, even if Nick is well-intentioned, he'll probably have to be cautious...

What's more troublesome is that after going around in circles, it turned out that Stryker was innocent, and ultimately they failed to find any weakness in the military...

So, regarding Skynet Project and Judgment Day... who can prove it's all true? Just based on the accounts of the four Avengers?

Where are the traces of the crime scene?

Steve pointed to the now charred Ruins of the manor and the corpses of several Terminators at his feet, only to be surprised to find that the liquid metal was actually decomposing on its own.

"It's no use. We've lost the chance to bring these ghosts hiding behind the scenes to the forefront."

Kevin shook his head helplessly; he dared not overestimate the military's integrity.

Given that even Raccoon City is at risk of a nuclear leak, it's quite normal for this small estate to use an accident like a gas explosion as an excuse.

Moreover, it's still very difficult to say whether the military has colluded with Skynet.

Moreover, the military has staked almost everything on Skynet Project; they can't afford to lose.

As long as they haven't seen the coffin, even if this group vaguely senses the danger of Skynet, they will still harbor wishful thinking, pretend to be blind and deaf, and stubbornly persist in their course of action.

Isn't Raccoon City, which became a victim, a perfect example?

In addition, the escalating conflict between mutants and humans effectively fueled hatred and drew attention to Three Mile Island from all sides.

Compared to the "fictitious" Terminator, the current army of mutants is more likely to become a target for the military to use to establish its authority.

Kevin even suspects that the current turmoil at Trask Industries is inextricably linked to the military, and that the data from Project Sentinel has indirectly fallen into their hands.

In this way, the products of Skynet Project and Project Sentinel can legitimately be used in the process of eliminating mutants.

Afterwards, the remains of the mutants will serve as proof of the military leaders' foresight, and become their bloodstained achievements, tools for consolidating their power, and tools for securing military funding.

It's estimated that until a nuclear warhead hits them on the head, these idiots will still think they have the situation under control.

It was precisely because there was no conclusive evidence to halt Skynet Project that Kevin had to remain in Los Angeles in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Just as Kevin and Steve were at their wits' end, the commander's phone lit up.

"Would you like to have afternoon tea with me?"

The deep voice of Raccoon City Mayor Michael Warren came from the other end of the phone.

Kevin looked at the belatedly arriving armed helicopter in the distance and couldn't help but smile.

"I'll treat you; the police station has a nice view..."
