Heroes landed

It seems everyone who jumped was a long-suffering Spider-Man, especially the older ones. Professor X's wheelchair didn't have Parachute: What If...? it did, would he have jumped too? The free-falling Green Arrow Duck wondered.

Regardless of whether Professor X is enjoying himself and becoming the Little Bug's Mind Stone, or whether he is in dire straits.

The Mecha he built all had flight capabilities, so there was nothing to worry about. Green Arrow Duck turned to ask how the Mutants planned to land, and whether he should lend a hand.

Storm and Jean Grey's mutant abilities should allow them to fly. But can they take others with them? This is a fall from tens of thousands of feet, which is quite different from normal low-altitude movement.

Judging from the Mutants' actions while they were also in freefall, they showed no intention of meeting up in the air.

Storm, activating her mutant powers, had her hair flowing and her eyes completely white. She harnessed the wind, transforming her simple descent into gliding.

Jean Grey used her telekinesis on herself. For some reason, Green Arrow Duck felt that she was struggling to use her powers, not at all like Mutants had mastered the Phoenix Force. But it was more than enough to slow down her fall.

However, upon reaching the minimum altitude for a normal Parachute to deploy, Cyclops pressed a switch on his goggles. Headfirst, he unleashed Optic Blast nearly as thick as a person towards the ground.

Using the shockwave's reaction force, he greatly slowed his descent. Finally, with a somersault, he landed in a cool, heroic manner amidst the dust kicked up by the Optic Blast. The visual effects were off the charts.

The most hardcore of all is Wolverine. He crashed into the ground like a meteorite, creating a Spider -like crater in the asphalt.

But within a minute or two, he reached out and grabbed the edge of the crater, crawling out. His mangled body quickly healed, and his twisting neck made cracking sounds, indicating that his dislocated joints were being violently reset.

It's important to understand that even the five Mecha built by Henry would activate their gravity systems at different heights to provide buoyancy and slow down their descent, depending on the individual's adaptability.

Cassandra of the Eagle Armor Mech and Alexei of the Ursa Major Mecha are still considered human, so they slowed down at a higher altitude.

The remaining two Eternals and one Kryptonian could have avoided slowing down. However, while their physical bodies could withstand the impact, their Mecha couldn't withstand the sturdiness of a crash. Therefore, Green Arrow Duck, Bonnie, and Bullhead activated the Gravity System at a certain altitude.

In other words, of everyone present, only Wolverine experienced a freefall to the ground, and he was the first to crash to the ground. Unfortunately, Cyclops's shockwave landing was so powerful that it attracted the attention of most of the living people present.

Storm and Jean Grey didn't land rashly like the others. This was because Cyclops had chosen a spot right in the middle of the U.S. military soldiers' line of fire on the Zombies horde. Standing there, if the U.S. military didn't stop firing, everyone would just be a target.

Fortunately, the large amount of dust raised when the group landed obscured the already poor visibility in the darkness. Considering the limited ammunition and difficulty in resupply, the U.S. military soldiers stopped firing instead of blindly firing into the dust.

The first to make a move was, as always, the team leader, Cyclops. He skillfully used his Optic Blast, not only to attack approaching Zombies, but also to use the recoil of the shockwaves to push himself away from his original position and move to a new one.

In the past, Cyclops was like a stationary turret, relying entirely on his running and jumping for movement. But now, he's propelled by the powerful Optic Blast, moving with incredible speed and an almost uncanny presence.

As Storm swept over the horde of Zombies, accompanied by a barrage of lightning, her destructive range was astonishing. With the intervention of two core members of the X-Men, most of these mindless, instinct-driven Monster were instantly wiped out.

Unlike the firearms used by the U.S. military, neither Cyclops nor Storm need to deliberately aim at the Zombies ' weak points, such as their heads or spines: a single shot is enough to kill these bio- Monster, rendering them unable to get up and cause trouble again.

Wolverine had also jumped down, was somewhat frustrated. Aside from being similarly obscured by the smoke and dust, he found that his claws had no targets to attack at close range.

The reconnaissance capabilities of the Mecha remained clear. When the ordinary imagery was insufficient, other reconnaissance functions were switched in turn, and the results were compared interactively to still depict the scene and the enemy's image.

Furthermore, the five Mecha exchange information and provide additional location data. In a short period of time, the scene and surrounding environment are recorded in great detail.

What surprised Green Arrow Duck the most was that the Zombies, when scanned by infrared light, were not as lifeless as corpses; their entire bodies changed temperature with the environment.

The Zombies's brainstem and spine are just as active as when they were alive, or even more so, maintaining these organs at a higher level than normal.

The temperature is even higher than human body temperature. Therefore, the location of the Zombies is clearly visible under infrared detection.

No wonder these places are considered weak points. Once damaged, these Monster will revert to their corpse state.

This also saved Green Arrow Duck the trouble of explaining. He told everyone on the internal channel, "Aim at the parts that show high heat under infrared light and destroy them. That should be their weak point."

After being swept away by Cyclops and Storm, only a few scattered Zombies remained.

The Mecha systems worked together, marking their respective targets. Without even using their main weapons, except for the Eagle Armor, the other Mecha used the Railgun on their arms to take down the remaining Zombies one by one.

The once threatening horde of Zombies was wiped out in no time.

When the smoke and dust settled, under the dim streetlights, the U.S. military soldiers could only see a group of strangely dressed people and a group of animal-shaped dolls and metal puppets.

Although they were still unsure of the situation, the soldiers cautiously moved their guns away from the group of people ahead, whose allegiance was unknown. However, no one let their guard down.

Cyclops stepped forward first, raising his hands to indicate he posed no threat. "Don't worry, soldiers. We are the X-Men, here to provide backup. Where is your superior?"

Ultimately, it's just a name, a shadow. The moment the name X-Men was mentioned, the U.S. military soldiers visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere immediately eased considerably.

A female officer, also dressed in camouflage, stepped forward to shake hands with Cyclops. "Thank you for your support, X-Men. I am Army Lieutenant Colonel Kathleen Lieutenant Colonel Spaar, Commander of Special Disaster Operations in Raccoon City."

After the greeting, the Army Lieutenant Colonel also showed suspicion. "Those strange animal puppets and machines, are they also X-Men?"

Cyclops slightly embarrassed. "No, they're just assistants."
