The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 279 Cell
After only a dozen seconds, the base, which was originally very lively, suddenly became quiet. Apart from the occasional snoring and the sound of equipment, there were only the chirping of insects and birds.

Yang Le crawled out of the ground and walked up to a soldier, picked him up and slapped him a few times. The soldier groaned a few times and showed signs of waking up, but after inhaling the sleeping spores in the air again, he fainted again.

Yang Le nodded in satisfaction. As long as the flowers continued to spray sleeping spores, these people would not wake up even if it was the end of the world. Similarly, just a few harsh alarms would certainly not wake these people up.

"Scott, this is Harpy," Yang Le called over the comms channel. "I've already taken care of this. Please wait for me at the edge of the barrier."

"Roger that," Scott replied.

Yang Le returned to the edge of the barrier and passed through it without hesitation. Sure enough, the alarm sounded immediately when he passed through it.

The sudden alarm startled Scott and others outside, especially when they saw Yang Le walking out of the barrier, they thought the matter was exposed.

"How about it? Are you ready for a strong attack?" The King of Cards held a pair of playing cards in his hands, looking eager to try, not showing any sign of being scared at all.

Yang Le was frowning. This wasn't a game that couldn't be broadcast. Why did it look like the negotiations had failed and they were preparing for an offensive?

But you know what, Yang Le and his team are indeed going to rescue the hostages. They are indeed a special forces team, and they are indeed going to attack the building. It really has a bit of a Rainbow Six feel to it.

"Don't worry, I have already dealt with everyone inside." Yang Le waved his hand, signaling everyone not to be nervous.

When the King of Cards heard what Yang Le said, he immediately became excited and said, "Awesome, brother! You took care of them all by yourself?"

"Nature is just helping me," Yang Le explained. "I used hypnotic spores to trap everyone inside. To prevent them from waking up, the chamber is still filled with visible spores. Even an elephant would be trapped in seconds."

Nature is wonderful. Not only does it have many creatures with strange abilities, but they also have relationships of mutual growth and mutual restraint with each other.

Yang Le spread out his palm, and several black fruits lay quietly on it.

"This fruit can prevent you from being knocked unconscious by the spores. Remember to hold it in your mouth and don't swallow it."

Without suspecting anything, several people took a fruit from Yang Le's hand and put it in their mouths. However, their expressions changed immediately after they put it in their mouths.

"It's so spicy!" Qin covered her mouth and forced herself not to spit out the fruit. Tears flowed from her eyes almost at the same time, and she looked tearful with a kind of broken beauty.

"Damn it!" The King of Cards was so angry that he grimaced and even the playing cards in his hand were crumpled. Scott gasped and it took him a long time to recover.

"Stand at the door and go in for a meal." Scott didn't know if it was because it was spicy or because it was inconvenient to shout, but his speech was slurred.

Although this fruit was cultivated by Yang Le, he himself did not know it would be so powerful. Seeing the X-Men's huge reaction, Yang Le, who was originally curious about the taste of the fruit, immediately gave up the idea of ​​going back to taste it.

He waved his hand, motioning for them to follow him, and then he was the first to cross the barrier. Scott and his companions hurried to follow. As soon as they passed the barrier, they inhaled the rich sleeping spores in the air and immediately felt dizzy, but were soon stimulated by the fruit in their mouths and woke up.

There was no conversation along the way. Led by Yang Le, the group quickly passed through the barrier and arrived at the gate of the base. Although there was no one guarding it, the gate was still tightly closed.

Yang Le stepped aside; the rest of his job was no longer his. Scott, behind him, immediately understood and stepped forward, pressing his right hand against the right side of his custom sunglasses. A crimson laser beam instantly shot out from his eyes. With a sizzling sound and a burning smell, like a hot knife cutting through butter, the metal door was quickly sliced ​​open, creating an archway wide enough for two people to pass side by side.

Along the way, Yang Le and his companions did not encounter any obstacles. There were fainted soldiers and white coats everywhere.

"Whoosh!" the King whistled. "This is the easiest mission I've ever been on."

"Me too," Qin said with a smile. "If only it could be this easy every time."

Although they did not encounter any battle, Yang Le and his companions had other troubles, that is, they were lost. Without anyone to pick them up, they could only search room by room. This was not good news. After all, the longer the time wasted, the greater the risk.

"Let's wake someone up," Scott suggested. "With Jean's abilities, we don't have to worry about not getting the correct information."

"I thought I wouldn't have to take action this time." Qin smiled and lifted her hair.

The King of Cards immediately picked up a sleeping man in a white coat, took the fruit handed to him by Yang Le, and stuffed it into the man's mouth without saying a word, then slapped him a few times.

"Uh..." The man in the white coat groaned and was about to wake up in a trance. When Qin saw him wake up, she immediately used mental control and consciousness reading.

"Great!" Jean exclaimed. "Raven's fine. She's been locked up with the other mutants."

Everyone was very happy to hear the news. After all, they were compatriots who had been together for a long time, but they also did not forget their business.

"They're all locked up in a prison jutting out from the base." Qin gritted her teeth, clearly having witnessed something unpleasant. "These damn guys torture them every day."

The King of Cards sneered and casually stepped on the leg of an experimenter. The severe pain should have woken him up, but the sleeping spores that were constantly inhaled into his mouth and nose stopped him.

"Let's go and rescue them quickly." Scott frowned when he saw the King of Cards' behavior, but didn't say much.

"This way." Qin stopped reading and motioned everyone to follow her.

The King of Cards knocked the fruit out of the man in the white coat's mouth with one punch. The latter fell into a coma again, and then followed Yang Le and others to run towards the base.

It didn't take much time before everyone, led by Jean, arrived at the place in the base where the mutants were imprisoned. Just like outside, everyone here had fainted.

Scott and his companions also saw their companion Mystique lying in one of the cells. The cells here are all single rooms, probably because they are afraid that the mutants will unite and escape. The cells are not made of fences, but a special transparent material that looks like some kind of resin and is extremely tough.

In front of each cell was a post with information about the cell owner, but it only recorded their abilities and numbers. Yang Le took a quick look and didn't find any interesting abilities.

Except for the last cell, this cell is different from the others. It is not made of that special transparent material, but instead uses an airtight thick metal wall. It is obvious that it is imprisoning important characters.
