Chapter 11 Military influence
With Logan, he traveled through the secret passage below Xavier Manor. When they reached the exit, it was already a long distance from Xavier Manor. General Stryker might have guessed that there was a secret passage in the Mutant School, but he never expected that the exit of the passage would be in such a strange place.
An abandoned sewer pipe, and it seems to be a private one. It is estimated that even the urban planning department in New York City cannot find the construction record of this pipe. In this case, the possibility of this secret exit being exposed is extremely slim.
"What should I do now?" Looking at a group of children who were mostly wearing pajamas and even holding dolls, Logan scratched his head and asked. This was the thing he was most not good at dealing with. As a lone wolf, taking good care of himself was the limit he could do.
"Let me solve it!" After patting Logan's shoulder, Zhou Yi looked at the group of young people. Pete was still holding two twin little girls in his arms. Little Naughty was isolated on the side, and beside her was the young man named Bobby. Although none of these children spoke, Zhou Yi saw panic and fear from their eyes.
"Don't worry too much, kids. It's like a nightmare and will pass soon." He spoke to comfort the kids. But the effect was not obvious, especially those who saw the gun soldiers shooting at them.
"Sir, what should we do next?" The question was Little Naughty. She is one of the few calmer students here. Of course, this may have something to do with her once wandering life.
"Don't worry, you can stay at my house temporarily. After I and the teachers have solved this matter, we will take you back to school. Don't worry, it won't take too long."
Seeing the little naughty turn around and leave to comfort the younger students. Zhou Yi thought about it and called someone. Soon, the phone was connected and a woman's voice came from it.
"Hello, Yi. Why do you have time to call me?"
"Sorry, Pepe. I need your help in some things!" Zhou Yi contacted no one else, but Tony's secretary at Stark Company.
"Oh my God, this is really rare. Is there anything you can't solve, and I need the help of a working guy?" the secretary asked in confusion. With her relationship with Tony, she could fully understand Zhou Yi's connections. It is precisely because of this that she can't understand why such people need their own help.
"It's very urgent. I need to find some people who are not so conspicuous in the official position. Pepe, I can only think of you now. For Tony's sake, please help me." He clearly understood the ambiguous relationship between the secretary and Tony, but he knew very well what method to convince her.
"Okay, okay. Tell me, how do you need me to help you. You must know that my abilities are limited." Pepe's voice was helpless, but as smart as Zhou Yi clearly heard the joy in her words. Being able to be recognized by Tony's most representative person in his circle of friends is a very important thing for her.
"I know Tony has handed you some of the members training work in his hands. I need you to put a guise on the way to mobilize some Stark's transportation to this location. I have a group of kids here to need help!"
Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Pepe was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "Child? Yi, what are you doing? Why are you using a guise? Is there anything that cannot be put on the surface?"
"This is a group of mutant children from Xavier School. They have just been attacked!" After saying this, Zhou Yi paused for a moment, but finally chose to make the statement clear. "They were attacked by the military. I need you to help me transfer them to my manor, where they will be cautious and dare not act rashly."
"Hey, the military is attacking a group of children?" Pepe's incredible voice came from the phone. Obviously, Zhou Yi's news shocked her and felt anger. As a woman, her care and sympathy for children are almost the same instinctively. This is why Zhou Yi found her help. Zhou Yi knows many people who can do this, but only Pepe Potts can help him from this standpoint.
"I have contacted the company's personnel department. They will arrange several large buses to the location you mentioned in half an hour. In addition, I have arranged several private doctors, and they will go to your place with the car. Do you need me to say hello to Tony?" After Pepe's voice disappeared for a while, he brought the best news.
Upon hearing the news, Zhou Yi smiled. For him, the rest of the matter was very easy to solve. With Stark, a giant standing in front, Stryk would never dare to act rashly. As long as the rest rescues Professor Charles, everything will be back on track.
"Don't tell Tony anymore, if there is this guise, I can easily solve the rest. In addition, Pepe, I have to say that you are a very capable woman. I finally understand why Tony cares about you so much. If it weren't for Tony being an old friend of mine for so many years, I really wouldn't mind being a competitor."
"Give me aside, Yi. I don't want to be the prize for your duel with Tony." Pepe heard the joke in Zhou Yi's words and responded with a joke. "But Yi. If you encounter any trouble, contact us immediately. Whether it is me or Tony, they will stand on your side."
"Thank you, Pepe. I have something to do, let's talk next time." After a moment of silence, Zhou Yi hung up the phone. In this matter, he really didn't want to get his friends involved, especially when Tony was just Tony.
Seeing Zhou Yi hung up the phone, Logan came up and asked, "Is the matter solved?"
"It will be solved soon. Stark's car will come soon, and the soldiers have no right to stop them, so you just need to wait, and the children will be completely safe soon."
"I don't understand these messy things, but now you have the final say!" Logan shrugged. He believed that Zhou Yi had the ability to solve this problem, so he would not ask about anything more. This is his long-standing life experience.
Zhou Yi nodded and called again. This time he contacted his little assistant.
"Master, is there anything wrong?" Serana's voice came from the phone, and there was also the sound of TV. Obviously, this little vampire who was very energetic at night was watching the TV series in the midnight show again.
"Serana, I'll take a bunch of kids back. You contact the housekeeping company and the restaurant to prepare some household items and food."
"Okay, master. But how much do we need to prepare?" Although Zhou Yi's order was strange, Miss Vampire still agreed unconditionally.
"Is the quantity? You can prepare about 200 copies!" After looking at the groups of children around him, Zhou Yi smiled a little bitterly. He finally understood how difficult it is for Professor Charles.
"Okay, sir!" Serana was obviously shocked by the number reported by Zhou Yi, but she responded immediately. "It may take some time, I will get it done as soon as possible."
"Please, my dear. Also, this is a group of mutant children who have just been attacked by the military. Maybe they need some other help, and all of them will be left to you."
"I understand, master. I will arrange it properly." Serana responded clearly. After being an assistant for so long, her ability has been improved to a very good level. She can properly solve some things as long as she arranges them.
This also has something to do with her own efforts. She has always been working hard to make herself an indispensable part of Zhou Yi's life. As of now, she has done very successfully.
"Goodbye, my dear. We will go back soon." After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi contacted Ororo who was rushing back. He didn't want Ororo and Qin to fall into the trap.
"Yi, what's wrong?"
Ororo seemed a little surprised about Zhou Yi's contact because they had just contacted her not long ago. So this gave her a bad premonition.
"Striker attacked the school." Zhou Yi did not hide anything and directly told the worst news.
"Damn it! How are the children? No accidents happened!" Ororo immediately asked afterwards. The safety of the children had become the most important thing for her.
"Don't worry, the kids are all good, they are with me." Soothing Ororo's mood, Zhou Yi continued. "Strick and the others should still be in school now, so you'd better not go back to school."
"I understand, but what do you do? Stryker will definitely not let these children go." Despite hearing the news about the children, Ororo was still a little worried.
She knew that since Stryker could attack the school at this time, it meant that he no longer cared about the rules on the surface. As one of the senior military personnel, there were too many things he could do when he did not play according to the rules. This made her worry about the safety of the children.
"Don't be afraid, I will take these children away with Stark's identity. The military people dare not touch Stark. It should be noted that you, after all, Stryker represents the strength of the military, and I am worried that you will be blocked from the military."
Zhou Yi can't count how many things the US military has done without moral integrity. So he had to remind him.
"Don't worry about us, we are not a good persimmon." Ororo replied coldly, obviously she was completely angry at the military's actions.
"Okay, be careful. I will take the kids to wait for you at my house. As long as Charles is saved, everything will be fine."
"I understand! Be careful!" Ororo hung up the communication, and she still needed to tell Qin and Hank the news.
