The Marvel Journey Begins With The X-Men

The three people landed directly on the city wall without entering the city through the city gate. They were all curious about the alien bugs.

Looking at the busy figures of the Brotherhood members on the city wall, Norton did not waste Magneto's time:

"Erik, go and do your work! You don't need to accompany me, I can just walk by myself!"

"Sorry!" Magneto apologized.

Professor X patrols along the city walls and uses his psychic abilities to detect whether there are bugs lurking around the city.

Magneto checked one by one whether the equipment on the city wall was intact.

Norton was not idle either. He simply took a look at Brotherhood's defenses.

Brotherhood's shortcomings are obvious: there is a serious shortage of manpower and poor technical strength!

Fortunately for the former, the problem of shortage of manpower can be made up for by automation technology. Therefore, the root cause of Brotherhood's problem lies in the serious lack of technical strength.

Unless we recruit people from outside, it is impossible to solve the technical shortcomings in a short time based on the Mutant Brotherhood.

But the members of the Mutant Brotherhood are all Mutants, so it is impossible to recruit ordinary people on a large scale.

Magneto has obviously discovered this problem, so he has been strengthening the education work within Brotherhood in recent years.

It's a pity that Brotherhood members are mainly adults. They have basically passed the age when learning is most efficient. No matter how hard they study, they are still at the level of a technician.

As for Mutant children, who have high learning efficiency and greater plasticity, just a few years are far from enough to become successful.

The sky is getting darker, the alien moon cannot bring much light, and the brightness at night is very low.

Coupled with the unique wind and sand of the alien planet, the visibility at night is even worse.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of energy in the city. Brotherhood has installed countless searchlights on the four walls, enough to illuminate every detail within one kilometer outside the city wall.

However, after night fell, the bugs did not appear immediately, and it was still quiet outside the city.

At the moment Norton and the other three did not continue to stay on the city wall, but sat in an idle guard tower.

Looking at the Brotherhood that was almost fully mobilized, Norton asked Magneto: "Is it like this every night here?"

"Normally, only a few teams are needed to keep vigil, but today is a special situation!" Magneto explained.

"What's the special situation? It's not because the three of us came to patrol in person, right?" Norton asked with a smile.

Magneto shook his head: "Absolutely not. They speculated that there would be an insect wave tonight, so they mobilized all personnel!"

At this time, Norton noticed a sudden change in the professor's eyes, so he asked: "Professor, have you discovered anything?"

"There are bugs coming and they are gathering outside the moat!" Professor X nodded slightly [but made no further action.

But the patrols on the city wall outside didn't seem to notice anything unusual.

Seeing this, Norton asked: "Don't you need to remind them?"

"No! Unless there is a danger of destroying the city tonight, we don't need to take action!" Magneto shook his head.

"Yeah!" Norton nodded slightly to express understanding.

The three people here are all level five Mutants. As long as they are willing to take action, any one of them can easily destroy the bugs gathered outside the city.

Just doing this will not do any good to the Mutant Brotherhood or this city.

After all, the three of them cannot stay on the alien planet for a long time, and Brotherhood will have to face this situation alone sooner or later.

The earlier you face this situation, the earlier you accumulate experience. And with the three of them watching, you don't have to worry about making mistakes due to lack of experience.

Brotherhood's guess was not wrong, there was indeed an insect infestation tonight.

It was just that they waited until the second half of the night, when hundreds of bugs outside the city gathered, before crossing the moat and attacking the city wall.

The bug that appeared tonight looks like an enlarged version of the worm, with a diameter of more than one meter and a length of about ten meters.

The body surface is made of dry and tough horny skin, with mouthparts at both ends, covered with circles of criss-crossing 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 is 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 was originally strong enough, and the Brotherhood members on the wall were not ordinary people, and they used various methods to block the rocks.

Seeing the uniform attack of the insect swarm, Norton asked the district teacher: "It seems that the intelligence of these insects is not low?"

"The consciousness of a single insect is actually very weak, but when the insect swarm gathers in large enough numbers, a collective consciousness will be generated. Once the collective consciousness of the insect swarm is generated, the wisdom is not low!" Professor X replied... …

How can the poor brains of insects resist Professor X's spiritual invasion? Their secrets are easily found by the professor.

"Bang Bang Bang" The first to launch a counterattack was the large-caliber machine cannon, but Brother Yu's patrol did not rush into the insect swarm rashly.

However, the insect's skin and muscles were unexpectedly tough, and the large-caliber machine cannons hitting its body could only leave some small wounds of about ten centimeters, and these wounds were still healing rapidly.

The harsh living environment gives these bugs a tenacious physique. Unless they are shot intensively by machine guns, they will not be fatal at all.

Even if the dense swarm of insects lacks enough space to dodge, only a few unlucky insects will be torn apart by the cannon without warning, and most of the rest will only be injured.

Moreover, these bugs also react extremely quickly. In an instant, a large amount of yellow sand gathers and turns into a layer of rock armor on their body surface.

This layer of rock armor is not enough to stop armor-piercing rounds from large-caliber machine guns.

The cannonball hit the rock armor, and countless rubbles flew instantly.

But after the rock armor was weakened, the cannonballs were no longer enough to penetrate the insect's tough skin.

Fortunately, Brotherhood seems to have been prepared and responded instantly: "Change to armor-piercing incendiary bombs!"

After the armor-piercing incendiary bomb penetrated the rock armor of the insect swarm, the thermite incendiary in the warhead 4.6 was ignited, and countless insects rolled all over the ground amid the fire.

No matter how tough the skin of these bugs is, it is only made of biological material and cannot withstand the thermite burning agent at temperatures of thousands of degrees.

The damage caused to the insect swarm by this round of attack was higher than the damage caused by the armor-piercing bullet in the first round of attack.

Brotherhood's attack was not over yet. After a round of armor-piercing incendiary bombs, dozens of incendiary rockets were fired into the insect swarm, and the insect swarm was instantly submerged in a sea of ​​fire.

Ordinary flames are not enough to kill these bugs, after all, they can still burrow into the ground.

However, he succeeded in breaking up the swarm of insects and causing them to scatter in all directions.

Subsequently, Brotherhood's patrol team took the initiative to kill the scattered bugs.

Very well prepared!" Norton commented after watching the entire battle process.
