Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 379 13. AIM-Pioneering Technology

"Swish"

A loose, thin, almost invisible smoke spread across the snow.

Merlin used this method to move towards the base at the end of the canyon. The X-Men and his agents were making final preparations for the storm. Taking advantage of this time, Merlin wanted to penetrate into the deepest part of the base and join forces with the stormers outside. Let's attack from inside and outside.

He quietly crossed the base's wall, and Merlin saw some weird machines behind the icy wall.

It's like an enlarged version of the trash can made of steel, but these machines are equipped with crawlers that can move on the snow, and each machine's shell is equipped with a large-caliber rapid-fire gun that can rotate flexibly. A fixed route, patrolling the snow between the fence and the base body, the red light spots constantly shining on the metal shell seem to be their eyes.

This thing looks like a well-made killing weapon, with a high technological content.

But what puzzled Merlin was that the exteriors of these robots were all painted yellow, which made them very conspicuous in the snow, and could be easily spotted by the naked eye at a distance of several hundred meters.

"What does this mean? Is it specially used as a target?"

Merlin circled around a chubby killing robot, shook his head, and flew towards the interior of the base.

At a distance of less than 100 meters, Merlin found at least 20 hidden firepower points in the snow. Like those patrolling robots, these firepower points were unmanned. In the middle, it constantly swings back and forth, as long as it locks on the target, it can burst out amazing firepower in an instant.

On both sides of the wall at the entrance of the bunker base, Merlin also saw several fire windows opened on the wall, and Vulcan cannons with six barrels connected in parallel were mounted on those fire windows. This kind of semi-permanent fire base, It is enough to completely block the space outside the base.

Just the layout outside the base made Merlin feel a sense of embarrassment.

The organization that captured mutants for research must be very rich, as can be seen from the high-tech defense robots that were thrown in the snow as cannon fodder.

And, this organization must be very proficient in technology, those robots may have been developed by themselves.

Merlin followed the fire windows opened on the wall and entered the interior of the base. A gust of heat came blowing in his face. Merlin looked around. Around him, some soldiers with strange weapons were patrolling.

They are also very interesting to dress up.

It was a pure yellow jumpsuit that completely covered the body from head to toe, just like the protective clothing that researchers often wear, leaving only a goggle for the eyes.

The weapons they held in their hands were also different from all the guns Merlin had seen, more like an energy launcher. At the top of the gun-like launcher, there were three separate probes. , which is a shiny energy cube.

"Looks like an energy gun used by Cree soldiers."

Merlin squinted his eyes and looked at the weapons of those soldiers. This organization can equip ordinary soldiers with such energy transmitters, which proves once again that its technological research and development capabilities must be very powerful.

Merlin manipulated the fog, and moved deeper into the base along the exhaust pipes in the base.

The scale of this bunker is beyond imagination. It should be an important stronghold of this mysterious organization. From Merlin's dark perception, he can confirm that this base is underground and extends at least 5 floors.

And in each area, there are an astonishing number of defense robots and soldiers in yellow guarding them.

Merlin walked through the base at an extremely fast speed, and he recorded the information of the base.

"The first floor is the weapon storage room, as well as the storage and repair workshop for defense robots, and several engineering laboratories."

"Second floor..."

Merlin went down the elevator shaft. In the base on the second floor, he saw some advanced biological cabins, placed row by row in the wide hall.

He came to the edge of a biological cabin, looked inside, and found that in the biological cabin, there was a ragged man lying there, seemingly unconscious.

The man had crocodile-like scales and claws on his arms, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

"Mutant!"

Merlin glanced back at nearly a hundred biological cabins in the hall, and moved his fingers:

"They locked all the mutants they captured in the second basement, so the laboratory used to study the abilities of mutants should be on the lower floor."

He also noticed a sign on the surface of these advanced-looking biochambers.

"AIM? Pioneering technology?"

Merlin looked at the initials on the sign, and frowned. He remembered what he had told Agent Dugan about the Hydra faction.

"This is the faction that broke away from Hydra after the war and developed on its own? Why are they catching mutants? And the weird energy spectrum before... Are these guys still studying the Rubik's Cube?"

"interesting..."

Merlin appeared in the black mist, and he took out a mana stone with runes engraved on it. There must be monitoring equipment in this base, and it is impossible to use traditional communicators to keep in touch with outside fighters, but fortunately, in the outside world Among those waiting, there was also a witch.

"Ororo, I found the missing mutants, they are all in the second basement."

Merlin clenched the mana stone in his hand, and whispered to the stone:

"You storm the base in 5 minutes. Pay attention to the outside of the base. There are many patrolling robots and some fixed firepower points. It is best to let the X-Men use energy projection to destroy them. I will open the door for you."

Outside the base, Storm Maiden Ororo got a message from Merlin. She put away the mana stone and said to the people around her:

"Get ready, everyone. In five minutes, we will storm the base. Agent Merlin will open the door for us."

"Hurry up and start."

Impatient with waiting, Lingdie, who even started to learn how to play Gwent cards with Elsa, plucked her hair. She threw down the cards in her hand and said with a knife:

"We've wasted too much time."

"Hey!"

Elsa stared at Lingdie dissatisfied, she said:

"You are lying, you are obviously going to lose."

"Don't be so mean, baby."

Lingdie frivolously said to Elsa:

"We're going to get down to business, follow me closely, and my sister will protect you."

"Shua, Shua"

Elsa put away the Gwent card, flicked her hands lightly, and two large-caliber silver pistols appeared in her hands. She said to Lingdie provocatively:

"It's not certain who will protect who."

"Yo, the little girl has quite a temper."

Lingdie rolled her eyes, and she said:

"So Merlin likes a little pepper like you?"

"Shut up!"

Elsa screamed:

"Don't talk nonsense, he and I are innocent."

"Understood, I understand."

Lingdie deliberately licked her lips and said in an ambiguous voice:

"Merlin and I are also very 'close' friends. I have always understood his taste very well."

"Death doesn't change!"

Beside Lingdie, a queen-like woman in gorgeous white clothes and a white cloak with dazzling golden hair snorted. She moved her fingers a little bored, and said:

"I'm going first... You guys can argue here."

After finishing speaking, she stepped forward with two long legs, and walked carelessly towards the base in front of her.

"Emma!"

The Storm girl yelled, but the woman named Emma ignored her at all, and continued to move forward on her own.

"Take action."

Beast Hank, who put on a black combat uniform, said:

"Piot, you go to assist the White Queen in attracting firepower."

"Ororo, prepare for a large-scale thunderstorm in the air to destroy those machines."

"Spirit butterfly, you and Summers are ready, once Merlin opens the door, you and I will rush into the base and smash the enemy's defense."

"Domino, you and Miss Bloodstone led the agents to support."

"The last is the angel, you stay here, observe the surroundings, and snipe any interference that may come."

Hank glanced at the people around him, and he said:

"X-Men! Go!"

"Swish"

Following Hank's order, the silent angel Allen, a mutant like a real angel, spread his wings on his back and rushed into the sky like a soaring eagle. Storm also swept the wind. Colossus, who was easily KO'd in the battle, also felt angry inside. Wearing a red vest, he stretched his shoulders and rushed towards the base.

While running, Colossus' skin changed rapidly, as if it had been coated with a layer of metal.

Emma, ​​the White Queen, who was the first to set off, was already approaching the outskirts of the base. Those patrolling defense robots found the target, but in an instant, a crazy hail of bullets poured towards the White Queen.

A sneer appeared on Emma's beautiful face. She raised her hand, and her body instantly transformed into a diamond-like crystal clear and extremely strong substance. Let the bullets that could tear the human body hit her, but Only a few sparks splashed.

Beside her, countless sparks rose from Colossus' body. The silent mutant lowered his head and slammed into the icy wall like a bull, knocking out a human-shaped gap in the wall.

"boom"

He raised his fist, and the killing robot in front of him, which was leaning towards him, was smashed into the air. Under the heavy blow, some modules inside the machine were destroyed, making this thing like a ignited firecracker, flying in the sky. The whole thing exploded.

"Swish"

The scorching red light flew out of Colossus' body, and accurately hit a weapon platform rising from under the snow. Cyclops Summers stood hundreds of meters away, like the most accurate shooter , Continuously shooting laser rays from the eyes, destroying one dangerous weapon after another.

Above the sky, Storm Girl's eyes quickly turned pure white. She raised her hands, calling for the violent thunder above the sky, just like wizards cast spells, and the process of calling the thunder would take a little time.

"boom"

A defense robot rushing towards the White Queen was pierced by a flying bullet through the infrared information collector, and then another bullet pierced through the casing. In the sparks, this expensive thing exploded on the spot.

"Great!"

After completing a precision kill, Elsa whistled happily and followed her. The mutant Domino with weird scars on her face glanced at Elsa. She took an assault rifle from her back and looked at it. Without looking, he pulled the trigger indiscriminately towards the front. After 4 consecutive shots, the four robots were blown up almost at the same time. Among them, at least two robots were hit by the bullets that bounced repeatedly in the most vulnerable positions.

Domino glanced at the dull Elsa, she shrugged and said in a hoarse voice:

"Well, it seems that I have good luck today."

"crash"

A dazzling thunder light illuminated this remote snow-capped valley at this moment, and the blue lightning like a thunder snake rushed into the ground, knocking out the chips of the defense robots that continuously rushed out from the passage under the snow. Overloaded, even the control chips of those unmanned automatic weapon platforms were wiped out by the lightning arc that lit up on the ground.

The several firepower points that fired wildly on the wall of the base were also blown up one by one by Cyclops with precise sniping.

Colossus almost rushed to the wall against the Vulcan cannon that was firing wildly. He waved his hand and grabbed the muzzle of the constantly rotating gun. With a sharp sound of metal tearing, this mutant with extremely violent fighting style , forcibly tore the dangerous weapon off the base, and even the soldier in yellow who was manipulating the weapon was also pulled out.

With a scream of fear, Colossus punched the guy on the neck. Of course, he controlled his strength and knocked the guy unconscious to the ground.

"Boom"

The closed gate of the base was also slowly opened at this moment, and Merlin was standing beside the opened gate with a sharp knife in his hand. The yellow-clothed soldiers controlled by puppetry guarded Merlin, and with the energy gun in their hands, they kept sniping at the robots and those yellow-clothed soldiers rushing out from behind.

"You guys are a little slow here."

Merlin says:

"This does not match your combat effectiveness."

"Step aside!"

Spirit Butterfly let out a scream full of fighting spirit, and Merlin turned sideways obediently, and saw Spirit Butterfly swinging the samurai sword, crimson energy wrapped around the blade, and between waving the sharp blade, two X-shaped The energy blade shot out from the blade, knocking down all the chasing machines and soldiers behind Merlin.

"Snapped"

Lingdie stretched out her hand and patted Merlin's cheek, she said:

"Good job, little man."

"Be serious, you're doing business."

Merlin coughed lightly, Lingdie giggled, and dashed into the base with a knife in hand.

"Elsa, lead the agents to clear the base and prepare for rescue."

He said something to Miss Bloodstone who rushed over, and then said to the beast Hank who rushed into the base:

"Those mutants are trapped on the second basement floor. Go and rescue them. I have to go deeper."

"I always feel that there should be some secrets in this base."
