All Worlds Madhouse

Chapter 185 The last cup of tea

In the post-war Earth, in order to allow humans to utilize natural resources more evenly, nearly 300 urban areas were almost evenly distributed on each continent. However, there are still two places that are absolute "barren areas."

The first is the continent of Antarctica.

Second, it’s this area between the Atlas Mountains and the Atlantic coast

The area where Whitewater Prison is located is called "no man's land" because there is still some water there anyway. If you throw a person there, if he can dig grass roots and chew tree bark, he can still survive. If you are lucky, you can dig a bamboo rat nest and probably have a meat plant.

Yes, the ‘no man’s land’ is just empty of people, while the so-called ‘deserted land’ is nothing. There is no vegetation, no water, no living things, just yellow sand all over the sky and wind strong enough to kill a person!

Due to the extremely close distance between the earth and the sun, the daytime temperature here can reach 60 degrees.

Some people may not know what 60 degrees is. From a medical point of view, proteins begin to denature when they exceed 65 degrees. In other words, when they are cooked, that is to say, if you go to this station in broad daylight, then you will Started to slowly move towards a plate of grilled pork ribs.

Also, the average annual rainfall here is only about ten millimeters. So, what is the concept of this rainfall? To put it bluntly, it didn’t rain.

In addition, there are no roads or gas stations in this place, so you can't drive very far, and you have to risk getting stuck in quicksand. If you want to get to a place, you can only rely on airdrops.

In short, this place is the kind of place that absolutely no one can go to.

However, somewhere in this deserted area, 300 meters underground, lies one of the most secretive military bases in the world.

No one knows how big this place is, because the employees here are strictly divided into their respective areas of action. Anyone who crosses the line will be immediately arrested for investigation.

No one knows where they are. Every entry and exit is done under hypnosis mode. When you close your eyes, you are still in a certain city. When you open your eyes, you are already here.

What's more, no one knows what they are doing here. Anyway, when you get here, you only need to do what you are asked to do. Maybe your job is to compare some numbers with no meaning every day, or maybe you just check the cables of an entire house every day, just That's all, don't ask what these things are for, no one will tell you if you ask, because they don't know either. After everyone gets here, they will complete the three-month work, and then you will see it again When you close it and open it, you are back in your original city. In addition to the extra salary you want in your pocket, you may even feel that you are just dreaming.

This mysterious place has been running perfectly in this mode for decades, and it will continue to run.

There is no name, no address, no purpose of operation or no one knows this.

However, it is such a place where nothing is known, but it is the core that maintains the operation of the entire mutant society.

One day at noon, it was 57 degrees and sunny.

Over the desert, a huge aircraft flies above the clouds.

On the plane, Magneto and Ziliang were sitting opposite each other, Ziliang was smoking a cigarette, and Magneto was drinking tea.

"So, you've been searching here for decades and still haven't found it?" Ziliang asked.

Magneto nodded: "Yes, the world after the war is much more complicated than the previous human society. After all, there are fewer people and there are fewer clues to find. If it weren't for you and your compass, I might have been there all my life. Charles can’t be found.”

Ziliang closed the black note: "Haha, it's really hard to imagine that you would wishfully believe that Charles is not dead just because of a dream that you can't even remember."

Magneto shook the teacup in his hand.

"Yes, although it is wishful thinking, my consciousness tells me that that information was brought to me by Charles, and he needs my help."

In fact, originally, after the promulgation of Law X, even Magneto felt that Professor X was dead.

At that time, mutants had begun to rule the world, and Magneto, a force that had always supported the independence of mutants, suddenly lost his goal.

At that time, he also wanted to retire and return home to live out the rest of his life.

However, one day, when he was drowsy at home and wanted to sleep, he seemed to hear a voice appear in his head.

It was a very brief signal, just one simple word: "help me"

There was no reason, and it was hard to tell whose voice it was. In fact, it was like a confused dream that was half asleep and half awake.

But at that moment, Magneto woke up.

Inexplicably, he felt that someone needed his help. It was an old friend who had been with him all his life, and an enemy who had been fighting for his whole life.

Yes, that's Charles.

Just when the whole world was gradually moving towards a better place, Charles entered his own mind, leaving a signal of unknown meaning and disappeared from sight.

Magneto is undoubtedly a powerful person. His power is not only reflected in his powers, but also in his wisdom. Therefore, just because of these few words in the hazy words, he vaguely guessed the world. There seems to be a huge conspiracy behind it.

So he began to dig into the world. Gradually, this nearly centenarian man came into contact with the dark side of the world.

As people get older, their temperaments will always change. Those who were arrogant and crazy when they were young will also become quiet and kind neighbors when they get old. People whose hands are covered with blood may only yearn for drinking tea and growing flowers when they grow old.

Mutants finally conquered mankind, and Magneto's dream became a reality.

However, in the mist of tea, his heart has never been stable. This society is good, but it seems that this beauty is not the same as what he pursues.

So that day, Magneto sat on his old sofa, slowly and silently, watching the sun gradually disappear at the edge of the field.

With that last cup of tea, he seemed to understand something.

It doesn't seem to matter what the world looks like. You will eventually grow old, die, and be forgotten forever, but the alternation of the world will never stop.

Compared to where the world will go, whether humans will be in power or mutants will rule, these suddenly seem to be unimportant.

What's important is that at this moment, an old friend can sit across from him, drink tea with him, quarrel, even if he is holding back his anger and curse a few words.

That day, Magneto used a walking stick and left his old house.

Soon after, the X-Men reunited
