Chapter 673: First Communication, Strong Oppression

For Zhou Yi, it has been a long time since he was scolded like this. But, anyway, that was his mother, so no matter how harsh she scolded, as a son, he could only bear it. Moreover, to a certain extent, Zhou Lan was right. Sometimes even he himself feels like a scumbag.

But now is not the time to think about it, especially after being scolded for so long.

"Mom, Mom. Can you stop the meeting? Can we stop talking about whether I'm a scum for a while now. Let's talk about the kids, shall we?"

"About the child? By the way, my grandson!" Mentioning this question, Zhou Lan immediately came to his senses. "No, where is my grandson? I'm going to see him and see how he lives!"

"He's doing well, mother! I went to see him yesterday, and I gave him a name."

"You named him?" Zhou Lan immediately looked at him in surprise upon hearing this. "What did you name the child?"

"Zhou Shang! I hope he will become a noble person. Of course, his mother gave him a nickname, and she called him Shan En."

"Shawn? Zhou Shang? That's a good name. Get up, we're leaving now!"

"Where are you going?" Zhou Yi really couldn't understand Zhou Lan's change of attitude, but when he asked, Zhou Lan's answer was unusually decisive.

"Take me to see the kids, right now."

"It's not very good now, you know. It's already this time, and the child and her mother have to rest. Even if you are eager to see him, you have to wait until tomorrow."

Hearing his mother's request, Zhou Yi quickly persuaded him. And hearing what he said, Zhou Lan also looked at his watch. It was less than ten o'clock and she realized that she still had a long time to wait. But waiting for such a long time was enough to make her burn her heart.

"No, I can't wait any longer. I have to wait for ten hours, how could I wait that long!"

"Mom, waiting is a virtue. You don't want to leave a bad impression on your grandson when you meet him for the first time. I said this little guy is very smart. Since the last time I accidentally messed with him After being angry, he's still mad at me now! So I said, if you don't want him to hate you, you better wait until tomorrow to see him."

Zhou Yi found a very suitable reason to persuade her, and this reason really made Zhou Lan so quiet.

Of course, this is only on the surface. She was so restless that she couldn't fall asleep at all, so she simply sat there, waiting for tomorrow to come. And Zhou Yi was forced by her to stay by her side.

This was really an uncomfortable process for Zhou Yi, and it was as hard as sitting on pins and needles. At this time, there were also a group of guests from outside Huiyao City who felt as uncomfortable as him.

Although they were just sitting quietly at the other end of the conference table, for many people, those three women with the status of hostess were enough to cause them great psychological pressure.

After witnessing the power displayed by these three women in the Battle of New York, it is impossible for anyone to look at them with ordinary eyes. In the face of the power that can easily cover half of the city, they can only maintain an attitude of absolute awe while being amazed.

Just like a flock of sheep will never be willing to approach an elephant, even if they are herbivores, they will instinctively stay away from it under the power that can easily destroy you. Therefore, if possible, many people would not want to have too much contact with these women. Especially when these women basically don't have any principles and perseverance. But now, they have to do so.

"Respected Ms. Ada, Goddess Lilith, and the student who makes me the most proud. Thank you very much for accepting us and helping us."

It was Charles who spoke first, and he was one of the few outsiders who didn't have any respect for these women. When he was talking, he first greeted Ada and Lilith, who had never seen her face, with a smile, and then looked at Qin, his former student, with a complicated expression.

For this student with terrifying abilities, his feelings are very complicated even now. So when he saw Qin sitting across from him in such an indifferent manner, it was really difficult for him to express what kind of thoughts he had in his heart right now.

But he didn't think about more opportunities, because at this time, Ada had replaced their trio and responded first.

"This is what we should do. After all, most of the people in this city are mutants. We can't let our city lose most of its citizens because of an order issued by a government."

"Anyway, I still want to thank you." With a gentle smile on his face, Charles thanked him again. Then he continued. "Time is running out, I'm afraid we won't be able to exchange pleasantries like this. So, I have some very important things to ask, and I hope you can give me an answer, can you?"

The acquaintances glanced at each other, the women exchanged opinions, and Ada responded.

"Of course, you are an elder after all, please ask."

"Then I won't be polite." Nodding, Professor Charles asked, looking directly at the women across from him. "About the situation we are facing now, I think you ladies should have some understanding. This is a great crisis for us mutants. At the same time, it also means a crisis for your city. A terrible crisis. A little carelessness will be a tragedy for us, or for you. So, I would like to ask, do you have a suitable countermeasure for this situation?"

"Countermeasures?" Hearing these words, Lilith was the first to respond. "Of course we have countermeasures in place, so that any enemy has no countermeasures. So rest assured, Mr. Charles. This is not something you should worry about."

"Can you tell us the specific content? As the person involved, I hope to learn more useful things. After all, this is a battle of life and death, and we need to appease the emotions of many people."

"Unfortunately, this is confidential. We can't tell this kind of thing to outsiders so casually."

Ada took over the conversation and shook her head solemnly at Charles. But at this time, Charles smiled slightly and looked at Ada with deep eyes.

"Miss Ada, we are not outsiders. Strictly speaking, we are the real participants in this war. If we don't even know your arrangements, then how can you convince us to fight with you?" What about this war?"

"Professor, this is not the reason for you to probe into other people's hearts. Don't forget, I'm still here." Qin's sudden voice made the smile on Charles' face froze. And with her insertion, more people began to look nervous.

For them, Qin Grey is the most dangerous of the three women. They'll never forget her terrifying strength, rivaling Thanos'. It is precisely because of this strength that they panic even more. In any case, she who once had the personality of the Dark Phoenix is ​​a huge threat.

As for Professor Charles, from the moment Jean Grey interjected, his intentions had already been shattered. Although he has the reputation of being the most powerful psychic on earth. But in front of the Phoenix Force, his inside is still not enough to pose a threat. Therefore, he couldn't see Ada's thoughts at all. He even said that he suffered some minor injuries because of his actions.

This quickly turned his face pale, and then he forced a smile.

"Sorry, it seems that I have overreached. But please understand my feelings. After all, this is a matter related to the future of mutants. If you care about it, you will be confused. As an old man, I am really at a loss."

"Only this time, Professor Charles. We respect you and are willing to accept your request for asylum. You must know that it is not we who need you, but you who need us. It is us, this city, that provides you with a place of asylum , to provide a camp against the enemy. So, don’t make any dangerous moves.”

Ada warned that through Qin's words and Charles' performance just now, she certainly understood what the mind master had done. However, that was destined to not work. Because no one knows better than her what their strength is.

"I promise, there will be no next time." Shaking his head, Charles said with a wry smile. And then, he made another request. "However, I hope you will accept my opinion. After all, the stakes are high."

"tell me the story!"

"I hope that Mr. Rogers can join the command operations after the invasion of the sentinel robots. He was a team commander during World War II and has rich experience and experience. I think if he joins, for this war, it should be It can increase the chances of winning a lot. This can be regarded as my plea, with his leadership, my students and I will feel more at ease."

There was a deep pleading in Charles' eyes, and his pleading gaze was on Qin. In any case, they all had a teacher-student friendship, and as a mutant, Jean was also obliged to support him. This is for the future of the mutants, at this moment his thoughts are so firm.

But facing his pleading, the three women shook their heads in unison.

"Sorry, professor. We're not going to let anyone get their hands in here. Like we said, we have a plan for everything. How to protect this city, how to protect you mutants Human safety. We have all considered it very clearly. So, what you can do is very simple."

"Either, it is to cooperate with our work. To contribute to the fight against those robots. Or, it is to accept our management honestly and take refuge with those who have little fighting ability. Before that , we have made it very clear. Your power is dispensable to us. So, don’t have any superfluous thoughts. Do you understand?” (To be continued.)
