Chapter 30 Charles Returns
Just as Stryker and Lucien were plotting, a plane flew back to New York from the Soviet Union.
Then a car started to speed over, and at the fastest speed, it appeared at the CIA secret base that was almost in ruins.
"Jesus Christ, what happened here?"
Charles looked at the broken walls and ruins on the ground, and the bloodstains that could be seen everywhere even though they had been cleaned up, and he was completely confused.
Eric beside him also held his forehead with his hand, looking very confused.
What happened?
They just went to the Soviet Union for a few days, but when they turned back, the base was ruined?
In fact, when they were operating in the Soviet Union, Mora had received news from the CIA headquarters that something had happened to the base here.
It was invaded by Xiao.
As a result, this is called an accident?
This is a disaster, okay!
"Mutants, how are the mutants here?"
Charles immediately asked a CIA agent stationed here with a nervous look.
"We didn't find their bodies." The agent replied.
This can be said to be both good news and bad news.
The good news is that the absence of corpses proves that they are not dead. The bad news is that those mutants are likely to have been captured by Black Emperor Xiao, and this is something Charles does not want to see.
"Charles, the situation may not be that bad. Rapids and Red Devil are dead. It was Rorschach who killed them."
Eric pondered for a while, but spoke to Charles.
"That's right, Rorschach!"
Charles was also refreshed.
If Rorschach was there, things would not be so bad, right?
That's right.
Eric and Charles naturally did not know the details of what happened at that time, but they had investigated Black Emperor for so long, so they naturally knew the abilities of Red Devil and Rapids.
Not to mention, Charles and Eric had fought with Xiao on the cruise ship.
He had witnessed the power of Rapids with his own eyes.
If there was anyone among the mutants who could kill these two, it would be Rorschach.
According to the intelligence provided by the CIA, there were only three people who invaded the base: Black Emperor, Rapids and Red Devil!
This gave Charles hope.
Black Emperor wouldn't capture all the mutants by himself, right?
After a brief exchange with Eric, the two agreed that the mutants had probably escaped.
"New York is so big, where will they escape to?" Eric still felt a little headache.
Those people came from all over the world, and the time they spent together was not very long, so it was difficult to make any effective speculation and analysis.
"If I were Raven... Eric, I might know where they are hiding." Charles gradually grasped something.
Xavier Manor, her own home!
That was the only place Raven could go!
The two looked at each other, and there was no more nonsense. They quickly got into the car, leaving behind a trail of dust.
More than forty minutes later.
The figures of Charles and Eric appeared at the door of Xavier Manor.
"Charles, are you sure they are inside?"
Eric's hand pushing the door stopped in mid-air, and he turned his head to look at Charles beside him.
"Yes, they are inside!"
Charles smiled, he had already used his ability to sense that everyone was there!
Everyone is here, not one less!
Huh!
Eric let out a long sigh of relief, and his tense face suddenly relaxed.
"Charles, you never told me that you actually lived in such an outrageous place."
Eric teased Charles, and without hesitation, he pushed the door open.
"Well... you never asked about this either."
Charles replied casually, and walked into the hall quickly with Eric.
Familiar faces such as Mystique Raven, Hank the Beast, Darwin, Angel, Siren, etc. all turned their heads.
They came into the eyes of Charles and Eric.
Of course, Rorschach, who they trusted the most, was also indispensable.
"Charles!"
"Charles!"
"Charles, Eric, you are back!"
The atmosphere in the hall exploded after a slight pause, and all the young people came to greet them with surprise and joy.
Charles and Eric are finally here!
The hearts that everyone had been worried about for the past few days finally settled down and became more at ease.
"I feel relieved to see that you are all safe and sound."
Charles looked at the young faces and showed a look of relief.
Although Eric on the side was a little serious, the muscles on his face were also very relaxed.
"You all did a good job, very good!"
He also expressed his appreciation for the young people very rarely.
No matter how these people did it, it was really not easy for everyone to escape successfully when the entire base was destroyed.
"We didn't do anything, it was all Rorschach." The Siren couldn't help but interrupted and said.
"Yes, it was Rorschach who led us out." The Ravager immediately added.
They obviously did nothing, but they were praised by Eric so much, and the Ravager felt a little unworthy.
"No, you didn't get knocked down in that desperate situation, you didn't compromise, you came here with your own efforts, you all impressed me, I am proud of you."
Charles glanced at everyone at the scene and said to everyone very seriously.
"Charles, everyone in the base... was killed."
Mystique Raven raised her head, and her tone suddenly became much heavier.
The atmosphere at the scene, which was originally very light, also became heavy.
"OK!" Eric nodded, "Tell us what happened in the base."
Mystique Raven, Beast Hank, Darwin and others told Charles and Eric what happened at that time in great detail.
As bystanders, the two couldn't help but feel a sense of fear when they heard it.
What happened at that time was really too thrilling.
And Raven and the people involved, although the incident had passed for three or four days, when they recalled it again, their faces still couldn't help but pale.
"Luckily, Rorschach is here, otherwise I can't imagine what the result would be." The Siren sighed sincerely.
"Yes, thanks to Rorschach." Hank echoed.
"Rorschach, you performed very well, even far beyond my expectations!"
Charles also gave Rorschach a look of approval.
In the incident that night, Rorschach can be said to be the one who turned the tide, and his contribution cannot be erased in any way.
Charles and Eric were very fortunate that Rorschach did not follow them to the Soviet Union at that time, but stayed in the base.
Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
