21 Before the war 1

The president's speech was about Cuba. The Soviet Union has now sent a cruiser with nuclear missiles and is heading towards Cuba.

Nowadays, the United States and the Soviet Union are the two giants in the world. Therefore, if these two giants fight now, they will directly trigger a nuclear war.

Once a nuclear war is initiated, the world will be devastated, and Shaw's plan will be considered successful, using nuclear radiation to speed up the progress of mutants.

In fact, if a nuclear war really breaks out, the number of mutants who will die will not be much less than that of humans.

In the face of this destructive world-ending weapon, in addition to Shaw, who can absorb energy, there is the Red Devil, who can teleport to any place.

Except for Magneto, who can control metal and prevent nuclear missiles from falling, the other mutants are basically in trouble.

They too will die; all are equal before this weapon.

But Shaw probably wouldn't care about it. In addition to having a fondness for mutants, he also believes that the strong will survive and the weak will die.

In the original movies, he killed Darwin without any trace of malice. If Darwin can adapt, it proves that he has the ability to survive; if he cannot adapt, he will die.

This is quite contradictory.

But regardless of what happened to Shaw, why did the Soviet cruiser head towards the Cuban line? Who was behind this? Everyone watching TV here knows it well.

According to the speed of the cruiser, tomorrow this cruiser will It will be close to the Cuban line. Once it enters, the United States will launch nuclear missiles.

If the mutants want to stop this, they must rush to the vicinity of Cuba tomorrow to prevent the Soviet ships from continuing to approach.

"So, everyone, get ready; there should be a big battle tomorrow."

Charles said this with a solemn expression when he saw it.

They can't let a nuclear war break out, and humans today don't understand mutants and don't know how to deal with them, so they can only use mutants to deal with mutants.

The CIA wants to set up a mutant team just for this; tomorrow will be the time for them to play their role.

Wendy's eyes were fixed on the TV screen in front of her. She was going to face Shaw and his team tomorrow.

She was also quite nervous, although she knew that even if she did nothing, Shaw would be killed by Charles and Eric in the end. What she really cared about was whether he could steal part of the submarine's materials without being noticed.

Wendy can now control some not-too-heavy metal objects with just a glance without making any making any gestures.

Building the portal does not require much material; when the time comes, Wendy can get some inconspicuous metal from the submarine and attach it to her body to achieve her goal.

In fact, if she told Charles the truth, they would probably help Wendy, but she was more afraid that they would want to transfer mutants to her world after learning about it.

Charles might not, but Eric will definitely do this, so she cannot tell the truth yet.

Now she feels like a child doing bad things without telling her parents, although she is indeed a child now. Her tension was beginning to spike.

After confirming the time for departure tomorrow, everyone who had already trained dispersed and prepared to take a good rest.

Wendy was originally going to go back to the room to rest, but when she saw Eric, who left first, she couldn't help but stop in place.

Charles and Eric had a disagreement in advance about whether to kill Shaw or not.

When she passed by Charles' room yesterday, she heard the two of them arguing. This was because the two had different ideas and parted ways on a bad note.

Wendy has always been very obedient; this obedience does not mean being well-behaved or anything like that, but rather obeying the plot.

She follows the plot of the first battle of the X-Men from beginning to end.

After all, as long as she does nothing, she can get what she wants perfectly, so why go through the trouble of changing the plot and making things complicated for herself?

If there were no Martha or Larry in the MCU, she would have been prepared to live an ordinary life without caring about the plot. Her body was not a product of that universe anyway; Thanos's snap probably would not be able to affect her.

But because of Larry and Martha, Wendy's thoughts changed, and she began to take the initiative to train her abilities.

Now, her thoughts began to change again because of her relationship with Charles and others. She wanted to save Charles's relationship with Eric.

Whether it was Charles or Eric, she had a very good impression of them.

Charles was like her spiritual mentor, and Eric was like Wendy's brother. The two of them treat Wendy well; she is not blind to that fact.

Whether she lives an ordinary life or is out for revenge, regardless of her goals, One undisputable fact that would not change about her is that she would repay those who treated her well.

Wendy once thought that helping them deal with Shaw was a way of repaying them, but dealing with Shaw also had her own selfish purpose and could not be considered to be repayment.

Now that she wanted to prevent them from parting ways here, whether it was reversing the future or the apocalypse, it would not be difficult for the two of them to join hands to fight against the enemy.

So now all Wendy has to do is have a heart-to-heart with Eric.

"Eric."

On the balcony of the hall, Wendy found Eric, who was looking outside and lost in thought.

"Wendy?" Eric turned around when he heard someone calling him, "Is there something wrong?"

Coming to Eric's side, Wendy didn't know how to speak for a moment.

She organized her words a little and then said, "I heard the quarrel between you and Charles yesterday. It was about the Shaw thing, right?"

Eric said nothing after listening to Wendy's words and just looked at Wendy, and after a while he said slowly, "So, do you want to stand by Charles's side and persuade me not to kill Shaw?"

"No. That's not the case."

Wendy shook her head repeatedly. In this matter, Wendy would not side with Charles.

If someone kills a relative, that person must use his or her own life to repay.

She knows that Charles does not want Eric to become the next Shaw, and she wants Eric to understand that violence does not have to be used to solve everything.

But in not killing Shaw, Charles did indeed make a mistake.

Even if he had the ability of telepathy, he would never be able to understand how truly painful it must be to experience such a thing; the sadness transmitted by telepathy would never make that happen.

For Charles, who grew up in a privileged family, sometimes his thoughts were a little too naïve, reality would not be a perfect utopia, and hatred would not be easily resolved.

"I will not help Charles stop you from killing Shaw. I know that Shaw killed your relatives; this hatred cannot be given up."

Thinking of this, Wendy thought of the sniper who killed Martha, and she became a little excited as she spoke.

Seeing Wendy's excitement, Eric suddenly laughed. He touched Wendy's head and said, "Wendy, I'm very grateful for you standing with me. Now that I think about it, you don't have any relatives now. Are you willing to accept me as your caretaker?"

"Huh?"

Wendy, who originally wanted to continue talking, was blindsided by Eric's words.

What is this? She came here to persuade him as a friend, but he actually wanted to become her dad.

In terms of age, it is no problem to be Wendy's adoptive father, but Larry is still at home waiting for her to return. It is impossible for her to recognize another father here.

"You don't have to agree immediately; that's all I'm asking."

Seeing that Wendy did not agree immediately, Eric knew that he had spoken too soon, so he did not continue to force it.

Eric stopped talking, and Wendy was visibly relieved.

She rearranged her words, stopped mentioning what had just happened, and continued: "So, what I wanted to say is that no matter what happens between the two of you, don't leave, okay? I don't want to see you leave."

Looking at Wendy with deep eyes, Eric was a little surprised that his thoughts were seen through by a child.

But seeing Wendy's seriousness, Eric smiled and did not answer immediately; he just nodded lightly.
