Chapter 89 Alien Swarm
Chapter 89 Alien Swarm
"Toot, toot, toot toot!..."
A series of warning sounds suddenly sounded from the protective clothing.
Magneto raised his left arm, looked at the portable computer, and then had to stop testing the skateboard.
Ian also heard the warning sound from Professor X beside him, turned his head and asked, "Professor, what happened?"
"The night of the alien star is coming, we must return as soon as possible!" Professor X replied looking at the warning on the portable computer.
At this time, Magneto also flew over to join the two, and the three flew back together without hesitation.
Must return before nightfall!
Is it because of something scary at night?
Ian asked Magneto curiously, "Is this alien night scary?"
"Night is an active time for alien bugs!" Magneto replied.
He didn't really care about some bugs, he was just worried that there might be accidents in the city.
"Is this alien bug very troublesome?" Ian continued to ask. He only knew that there were bugs on the alien planet before, but he didn't know their specific strength.
"The strength of those bugs is not very strong. The key is that they are elusive underground, and their number has become more and more recently." Magneto replied.
The distance of dozens of kilometers is very short, and Ian soon saw the brightly lit city walls.
The city walls of the city were outside the protective cover, and at this time, members of the Brotherhood were already patrolling the walls in fully enclosed combat uniforms.
However, the city wall is too long, and there are only less than 1000 brothers. Even if they are all pulled up to the city wall, they still cannot stand on the tens of kilometers long city wall.
Therefore, we can only rely on the surveillance cameras all over the city wall and a small number of patrol personnel on the city wall to guard against bugs that may appear outside at any time.
Most of the remaining people are in the waiting room, ready to fight at any time to kill the bugs outside that threaten the safety of the city.
Fortunately, besides the square city wall, Ian left a circular moat at the beginning.
Although there is no water in the moat, it is enough to prevent these bugs from approaching the city wall silently.
In addition to people, there are many large-caliber machine gun turrets installed on the city wall, but there are not so many gunners operating them.
The three landed directly on the city wall and did not enter the city through the city gate. They were all curious about the alien bugs.
Looking at the busy figures of the members of the Brotherhood on the city wall, Ian did not waste Magneto's time:
"Eric, go get busy! You don't have to accompany me, I can just walk around by myself!"
"Sorry!" Magneto apologized.
Professor X patrols along the city walls and uses his psychic abilities to detect any bugs lurking around the city.
Magneto checked one by one whether the equipment on the city wall was intact.
Ian was not idle either, he briefly checked the Brotherhood's defenses.
The disadvantages of the brotherhood are obvious, there is a serious shortage of manpower, and the technical strength is also very poor!
The former is okay, the problem of lack of manpower can be made up for by automation technology, so the root cause of the brotherhood's problem lies in the serious lack of technical strength.
Unless recruited from outside, otherwise, based on the Brotherhood of Mutants, it is impossible to solve the defect of insufficient technology in a short period of time.
The members of the Variant Brotherhood are all mutants, and it is impossible to recruit ordinary people on a large scale.
Magneto has apparently noticed this problem too, so he has been strengthening the education work within the Brotherhood in recent years.
It's a pity that the members of the fraternity are mainly adults. They have basically passed the age with the highest learning efficiency. No matter how much they study, they are only at the level of a mechanic.
As for mutant children with high learning efficiency and greater plasticity, just a few years is far from enough to become useful.
At present, there are only a handful of people who have a sufficient level of knowledge in the Brotherhood, and the highest level may still be Magneto.
But Magneto alone can do very limited things, unable to take care of all aspects!
The sky gradually darkened, and the moon of the alien star could not bring much light, and the brightness at night was very low.
Coupled with the unique wind and sand of alien stars, the visibility at night is even worse.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of energy sources in the city. The Brotherhood has installed countless searchlights on the four walls of the city, enough to illuminate every detail within a kilometer outside the city walls.
However, after night fell, the bugs did not appear immediately, and the city was still quiet.
At this time, the three of Ian did not continue to stay on the city wall, but sat in an idle watchtower.
Looking at the almost fully mobilized fraternity, Ian asked Magneto, "Is it like this every night here?"
"Under normal circumstances, only a few teams are required to keep vigil. Today is a special situation!" Magneto explained.
"What special circumstances, it's not because the three of us came to inspect in person, right?" Ian asked with a smile.
Magneto shook his head: "Of course not, they speculated that there will be a bug swarm tonight, so they mobilized all the staff!"
At this time, Ian noticed a sudden change in the professor's eyes, so he asked, "Professor, did you find anything?"
"When bugs came, they gathered outside the moat!" Professor X nodded slightly, but did not move further.
It's just that the patrol team on the outer city wall didn't seem to notice anything unusual.
Seeing this, Ian asked, "Don't you need to remind them?"
"No! Unless there is a danger of breaking the city tonight, we don't need to do anything!" Magneto shook his head.
"Yeah!" Ian nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.
The three present here are all level five mutants. As long as they are willing to take action, anyone can easily wipe out the bugs gathered outside the city.
It's just that doing so won't do the Brotherhood of Mutants, or the city, any good.
After all, the three of them can't stay on Alien for a long time, and sooner or later the Brotherhood will have to face this situation alone.
Faced with this situation one day earlier, one day earlier one would accumulate experience, and with the three of them watching from the side, there was no need to worry about making mistakes due to inexperience.
The Brotherhood's speculation was not wrong, there was indeed a bug swarm tonight.
It's just that they waited until the middle of the night, when hundreds of bugs gathered outside the city, and then crossed the moat to attack the city wall.
The worms that appeared tonight looked like enlarged worms, with a diameter of more than one meter and a length of about ten meters.
The body surface is dry and tough horny skin, with mouthparts at both ends, covered with circles of criss-cross sharp teeth.
Unexpectedly, these bugs did not rush directly to the city wall, but launched an attack from a hundred meters away.
Their attack method turned out to be to spit rocks.
Moreover, the rocks they spit out are not only fast and powerful, but also very hard, and their power is not much worse than that of cannons.
This round of attacks came very suddenly, completely beyond everyone's expectations.
Fortunately, the city wall itself was strong enough, and the members of the Brotherhood on the city wall were not ordinary people, and they tried their best to block the rocks.
Seeing the uniform attacks of the swarm, Ian asked Professor X, "These worms don't seem to have low intelligence?"
"The consciousness of a single bug is actually very weak, but when the bug swarm gathers enough, it will produce a collective consciousness. Once the collective consciousness of the bug swarm is formed, the wisdom will not be low!" Professor X replied.
How can the barren brains of the worms block Professor X's mind invasion, and their secrets are easily found by the professor.
Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for monthly pass! ! !
