"This! This is too terrifying!"
In the distance, Stryker and General Ross, who had already driven into the outer perimeter of the Base, looked through the car window and saw this terrifying scene, and they were utterly bewildered.
Before this, they had planned to take over the entire Mutant School, not only to collect all Mutant blood for exchange at the Company for necessary items but also to conscript all Mutants, with the useful ones joining the army and the others used for experiments.
But now, the two realized that the Mutant School, besides the two monstrous Mutants, Charles and Eric, actually had an even more terrifying Jean Grey at its helm. William Stryker and General Ross asked themselves, if they had known this beforehand, how would they have dared to covet the Mutant School? It was pitiful that the two had no idea that Jean Grey's terror was only manifesting now; before this, Jean Grey could indeed be said to be a powerless little girl. Under Charles's gentle education, the students of the Mutant School had very little combat capability.
Otherwise, even if Charles had taken all the X-Men, the Mutant School would not have suffered such heavy losses in this encounter, and Jean Grey would not have gone dark!
"Speaking of which… the Company is the most mysterious, isn't it?"
Stryker reluctantly tore his gaze away from the darkened Jean Grey, who was slowly rising into the air. Through the car window, he saw that the environment around the Base was completely unaffected by the battle, and his heart grew even colder.
He looked at the Mutant School, reduced to ruins by the battle's aftershocks, with the entire school pressed several meters underground by the Impact of the explosion.
Then he looked at the surroundings of the Base, which remained unchanged from before the battle began.
And he remembered how the previous Impact had inexplicably vanished when it reached the outer perimeter of the Base.
The chill in Stryker's heart intensified.
"The Company is indeed too deeply hidden!"
"Perhaps the Company is the strongest force!"
General Ross, beside him, also felt a chill in his heart.
Although the Base was slightly further from the battle's epicenter compared to the Mutant School, the distance was limited.
Yet, the Base remained completely unaffected by this sudden war, which highlighted the depth of its secrets! As a military general, especially an air force general, General Ross was well aware of the power of the army's missiles.
But compared to the series of explosions on the battlefield just now, their air force's missiles were like a small witch meeting a great one.
The power of Tomahawk cruise missiles couldn't even hold a candle to those alien energy bombs.
One could say that the combined series of explosions was so immense that no one would find it unbelievable if it were described as the detonation of a massive yield nuclear bomb.
However, despite such explosions, a close-range series of them, the strong individual, the trump card of the Mutant School who had ascended into the air, didn't suffer a single scratch!
What chilled General Ross even more was that the Base, which was also completely unaffected, had countless branch Bases established by the Company all over the World.
If all of the Company's branch Bases could similarly ignore such terrifying explosions, then how terrifying was the Company? The US being number one might truly just be a joke!
"Perhaps… we could join the Company."
After a moment of thought, General Ross looked at Stryker and asked softly.
"Hmm?" Stryker was stunned by the remark.
"Perhaps… it really is possible."
Stryker thought it over carefully. Although he and General Ross had lost all their direct subordinates, they both held legitimate general ranks. With this as leverage, perhaps the Company might just need them.
