My Stand-in is Steve

“So...this is what you call your base?”

In the damp and cold cave, Fang Mo looked at the surrounding rock masses with a bit of disgust: "I don't force you to build a manor exactly like X Academy, but in any case, your cave is too casual, right? "

 Yes, due to the temptation of unlocking the module, Fang Mo has been invited to Magneto Eric's base at this moment.

But to be honest, this place does look a bit unsatisfactory. Although Eric's base looks very spacious, it is obviously also extremely simple. It is completely built inside a cliff next to the coast. It was completely empty, and then I simply lived in it. It was similar to when my MC was pioneering wasteland.

Fang Modu wondered whether his MC meme pollution was too strong.

 Eric was so affected that he subconsciously turned into a miner, digging a hole and starting to build a house.

 “Sorry, this place is a bit shabby.”

After hearing Fang Mo's complaint, Eric here simply nodded and admitted: "But there is nothing we can do about it. I can't spend so much energy to create a comfortable living environment like Charles. After all...I am now a wanted mutant criminal in the world."

 “Mutants beg for food?”

Hearing this, Fang Mo glanced at Eric in surprise: "Uh... OK, I won't talk about you then. At least this place can protect you from wind and rain."

　　　…”

 When Eric heard this, he immediately felt an inexplicable and familiar headache.

“Actually, it’s not as bad here as you think.”

After holding it in for a long time, Eric finally spoke again: "What you see now is just the appearance. Maybe you will change your mind after I finish showing you around."

 “Please start your performance.”

Fang Mo said.

"plz follow me."

Although Eric had a bit of a headache, he didn't care too much about Fang Mo. After all, he had known how bad Fang Mo's character was decades ago, and he walked directly towards the depths of the cave at this moment.

Fang Mo saw this.

He also followed with his daughter in his arms.

Of course, there was that little loser cheems following at his feet.

 In short, after a brief visit, Fang Mo found that this cave was indeed a little better than he imagined, but of course it was just a little bit better.

It can be seen that Eric is really careful in running this place. Although the place you first entered looks no different from an ordinary cave, it is also briefly decorated with metal, and many rock walls are decorated with metal. Bright silver metal plate.

 In addition, there are some lighting equipment here.

Fang Mo saw a lot of circuits and the like as he walked along. It was obvious that this place should be electrified, or simply have a power generation device, but the surrounding area was too empty, so even if there was lighting equipment, it would be very dim.

As he went deeper, he also saw some relatively complete living facilities.

 Just like the kitchen and lounge.

It is just a rest room, but some of the holes are equipped with thick metal prison doors, which are obviously used to imprison someone.

 “Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about it.”

 While passing by here, Eric did pat his head as if he thought of something.

He waved his hand, and the metal prison door not far away suddenly opened like dough on both sides. Then there was a sound of things being dragged inside, and soon after, a person was tied to a metal stool. The middle-aged man screamed and flew out.

 “Uh ah ah ah…”

Since the man's voice was indeed a bit miserable, Fang Mo also raised his head and glanced at him.

 After observation, Fang Mo discovered that this was a typical white man with blond hair, wearing a suit, and exuding the aura of a man who was pampered and pampered all year round.

 “Let’s go, let’s continue visiting.”

 After doing this, Eric continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

The little daughter in Fang Mo's arms was quite curious. She raised her head and stared at the middle-aged man flying in the sky.

 “What’s wrong, daughter?”

Fang Mo noticed Xiao Momo's state and asked casually. Of course, he also thought about whether he shouldn't bring her here this time, but you say she is a child... This little guy is actually alive. It's been decades, so he has to be brought out to see the world.

His daughter, the majestic Dimensional Demon God, can’t grow up to be the kind of college student who only knows how to call mom every day, right?

 “Well, it’s okay.”

Just when Fang Mo was thinking about these messy things, Xiao Momo also spoke: "That's it...Mom, I think that stool is so shiny and beautiful."

　　…That’s okay.”

 Hearing that his daughter was only attracted by the stool, Fang Mo was a little speechless.

 In short, under the leadership of Eric, the group quickly reached the deepest part of the base, a huge underground cave.

 “Okay, we’re here.”

 After arriving here, Eric suddenly waved his hand.

　　The middle-aged man flying around in the air suddenly fell down.

Fang Mo also stopped when he heard this and looked around. This place should have been transformed from a natural cave. The entire ground was a sparkling underground lake, and there was a vague island in the middle of the lake. A silver metal passage leads there.

Several people are on this metal channel at the moment.

 “Welcome here, Fang Mo.”

Eric turned around with a smile, and saw that he suddenly opened his hands to both sides. As he thought, all the searchlights around him were turned on at the same time, and a strange-looking metal instrument behind him was immediately exposed. out.

"Um?"

 Seeing this, Fang Mo reacted.

If I remember correctly, this machine seems to be the secret weapon developed by Eric, which is also a key prop in the plot of X-Men 1.

 “Haha, sure enough you noticed it too.”

Seeing Fang Mo observing the instrument, Magneto immediately showed a proud smile: "Back then, I helped Charles create the X Academy's secret weapon...the brainwave amplifier, and now our Brotherhood of Mutants also has our own It’s a secret weapon.”

"you…"

Fang Mo was in low spirits and was about to speak, but in the next second, the system prompt in his mind rang again.

　　【System prompt: New module features detected, download permission can be obtained after research. 】

"Um?"

Hearing this voice, Fang Mo immediately became excited.

 “I know this!”

Fang Mo suddenly said seriously: "The super weapon on Charles's side is a mind control device... so the super weapon on your side is a genetic mutator. How about it? Am I right?"

"…What did you say?"

 Eric was suddenly startled when he heard this.

But soon, Eric smiled and shook his head: "It seems that I can't hide it from you. You have the ability to predict the future like cheating... Yes, this is indeed a genetic mutant." Mind control device, genetic mutator, and I’ll have a police dog by my side when it’s all over.”

Hearing what Eric said, Fang Mo couldn't help but raise his forehead: "The most outrageous thing is that there is an apocalypse in this world... It's broken, I have traveled to a red alert."

"What?"

However, Eric is not as good as Logan after all, and he doesn't know how to pick up the conversation at all. When he heard this, he looked confused: "Apocalypse? What is that?"

 “It’s okay, you will know later.”

Fang Mo waved his hand, then thought for a moment and added: "Uh... maybe it was in the past."

After all, the timeline of Apocalypse is very strange. It seems to be on the new timeline, but now Fang Mo is in the old timeline, so he doesn't know how to explain this to Eric.

"ha???"

This inexplicable answer only made Eric even more confused.

But since he couldn't figure it out, Eric simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, his purpose was just to find a way to persuade Fang Mo to join his side.

Think of this.

 He also shook his head directly.

"never mind."

 Eric was walking towards the machine as he spoke: "Anyway, I'll let you see it first. The test product is also ready."

 “Test subject? Wait!”

However, when Eric said this, the blond middle-aged man here suddenly reacted: "You evil mutants...how can you use me, a congressman, as your test subject? Where is my bodyguard?" Where is Henry? What did you do to him?"

 “That’s so sorry.”

However, Eric just looked at him calmly: "Henry has been dead for some time, Mr. Congressman."

"Yep, it is."

Fang Mo also happily echoed: "It's the same thing."

"...The Henry you thought was actually Mystique accompanying you." Eric glanced at Fang Mo a little strangely, but quickly turned his attention to the congressman: "She is a woman who can transform at will. The mutants have been lurking around you for a long time, it’s surprising, isn’t it?”

"this…"

The congressman's face turned pale when he heard this.

But he was a congressman after all, and he was quite good at talking. He immediately said: "If you think that killing me is a good thing for you, then you are wrong. My death will prove that my proposal is right." , we humans will gather together to clean up you mutants."

 “Hehehe…”

However, Eric just smiled when he heard this.

“I have to say, Mr. Congressman, you have a tongue as disgusting as a toad man.”

When Eric said this, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Fang Mo. Of course he had heard about the death of Toad Man from Sabre-Tooth Tiger, but now that he thought about it, it was obviously Fang Mo who did it, but there was nothing he could do about it. What did Fang Mo say? "By the way, do you fear God?"

"What?"

 The congressman here seems a little confused.

“Actually, I feel that God is like a mentor who can bring hope, and we should not be afraid of Him.” Eric continued to tell the congressman: “What you are really afraid of...is actually me.”

"I…"

 “You’re afraid of us mutants, aren’t you?”

Before the congressman could speak, Eric continued to stare at the other person and said: "I can understand you, because human beings have always been afraid of things they do not understand. This has always been the case."

 “But now, you won’t have to be afraid of this anymore.”

　　At this point, Eric suddenly turned around and walked towards the machine on the small island not far away: "You will never need to be afraid of these, my... brother."

 “You...what are you going to do...”

Although the congressman is tough-talking, he is still obviously very nervous at the moment.

However, Eric no longer paid attention to him, but walked directly into the inside of the machine. Soon the machine began to rise, and a circular metal structure surrounded him inside. Eric saw this and stretched out his hands. , pressing his hands on something like a console.

Eric's face suddenly became very ugly.

 It was as if this machine was extracting his power in some form.

As power was input into the machine, the ring at the top of the machine began to rotate rapidly, and a cold and dazzling white force field began to slowly expand outward.

  “…woo.”

 Perhaps he was frightened by this strange scene.

The little loser next to Fang Mo's feet subconsciously took a step back, and then started whimpering. He looked up at Fang Mo and made signs with his paws.

 “Hmm? What’s wrong?”

Hearing this, Fang Mo also lowered his head and glanced at the little loser.

"Woof woof! Woo!" the little loser barked twice, and then gestured to the congressman next to him with his paw: "Woof... woof... woof!"

 “You said you wanted to save him?”

Fang Mo glanced at the little loser here a little weirdly. This guy is really kind, but it seems that this is the image of a ghost, otherwise it would be impossible for everyone to say "Thank you cheems", right? ?

 “emmm…”

Fang Mo touched his chin and thought for a while.

 Finally, he asked the congressman here. "What, Congressman...what's your last name?"

 “My name is Kelly…”

"What the hell? Your name is Kelly!?" Fang Mo was immediately unhappy when he heard this. He turned to Eric and shouted: "Damn it, Yang Yongxin, please increase the power!"

　　　…”

Eric wanted to say something, but this machine was frantically draining his power. He felt as if his life was being drained. He couldn't speak at all. He could only concentrate on controlling the magnetic field. Soon this dazzling magnetic field expanded outward.

 Almost in the blink of an eye.

 Member Kelly here...or the entire underground cave is shrouded in this magnetic field.

At this moment, the system prompt finally sounded in Fang Mo's mind again.

　　【System prompt: The concept of 'Force Field Generator' has been researched, and you have obtained the download permission for a new module. 】

  【System prompt: The force field shield module has started to download. 】

  【System prompt: The force field shield module has been downloaded, do you want to load it? 】

  “…what the hell?”

 The 59 I mentioned yesterday is 23:59. The 01 is 1:01. I have already coded 3,000 words in the second chapter. Life is at stake, and I will never break my promise!
