Thinking of this, Austin didn't dare to have any hesitation and immediately shot and killed the protector beside that communication soldier, then violently rushed in front of him. The moment he pulled out his gun, he fired several more shots consecutively to smash his palms to pieces.
"What do you mean by the assassin you just mentioned?"
"Ahhhhhh!" The soldier did not answer Austin's question, but kept screaming. But his screams were soon drowned out by the sound of explosions. It did not affect anyone on this battlefield.
Austin Ye had no patience to dilly-dally with him. He directly stepped on his wound. Immediately, tremendous pain enveloped the soldier's consciousness as he silently screamed.
"Is President X here? Answer me!"
"Yes, yes," the soldier nodded his head repeatedly, tears and snot running down his face. Under this pain, his face turned deathly pale, and even his lips became grayish-white.
"Where? Answer me!" Austin gritted his teeth and asked. After finding out that President X was actually in the same military base as him, Austin did not feel safe at all.
It would be fine if it was someone else, but President X was a genuine mutant with telepathic powers, which was different from Emma, the one who had lost her powers.
No one knew whether President X had discovered Austin, or if he had already surreptitiously invaded Austin's brain. Austin could suffer brain death at any time without knowing.
"I, I don't know, I really don't know." The soldier shook his head frantically and used his other hand to push Austin's foot with all his might in an attempt to get Austin's foot away from his wound.
Austin believed his words and agreed that he really didn't know, after all, President X had disappeared for so long that his whereabouts were top secret. So how could this ordinary soldier know specifically?
Rushing to fill his head with a shot, Austin immediately moved away from the battlefield, following the direction that Pietro had described to himself, running towards the place where the two had planned to gather.
Austin wasn't worried about Pietro because he was wearing a helmet that was immune to telepathy. But he was different, he had nothing, and he was the one who was in the danger zone right now. So he had to get away from here as soon as possible with Pietro's help.
At the same time, Austin's heart was also a little bit excited, because if President X was here, then it meant that his secret room would be 'unguarded'. As long as he could get out of here, then he would be able to leave this universe.
However, when Austin arrived at a location that was still a few hundred meters away from the planned meeting place, he suddenly saw a scene on the other side of the factory building that made him unable to believe it.
He saw a big hole in the outer wall of the factory. Pietro was lying powerlessly on a pile of soil outside the factory. From Austin's direction, Pietro's right leg could be seen bent at an unnatural angle - it was clearly broken by someone.

- 10 Minutes Ago-
Pietro had been waiting for Austin to make his move, and when he heard the alarm ringing, he understood that the time had come. The ringing alarm was the signal of his agreement with Austin.
With the soldiers outside being startled, Pietro went ahead and brought the explosives that he had stolen from Nick Fury's safe house to the front of the power supply units. There were four huge and incomparable generators, and around them, quite a number of soldiers were stationed to guard them.
But to Pietro, these soldiers made no difference at all. Moving quickly in the dark, after Pietro finished installing all the bombs, he immediately detonated them. The next moment, there was a loud boom, and the generators instantly exploded into countless fragments, the burst of light even lit up the sky.
The destruction of the power supply attracted everyone's attention. The soldiers immediately split into two teams, one team went to suppress the mutant prisoners who had not yet escaped, while a number of people rushed into a factory, strictly protecting something inside.
Seeing this, Pietro was naturally very curious, because, in his memory, this had always been an abandoned factory workshop, the facilities inside had long been too old to use. Forcing them would easily lead to accidents, and President X didn't have the money to change the equipment either, so he had ordered the abandonment of this workshop long ago.
But now it looked like there was something unknown going on here.
Maybe it was because this was the necessary path to the meeting place agreed upon with Austin, or perhaps it was because the smooth implementation of the plan had caused Pietro to get a little carried away.
In the past, Pietro would not be willing to stay here for a second longer, but at this moment, he actually wanted to go over and see what it was that these soldiers were trying to protect.
No sooner said than done, Pietro flashed into the factory in the blink of an eye. His super brain allowed him to quickly check the surrounding terrain and find a suitable place to hide.
Sneakily climbing onto an engineering ladder, hiding in the shadows, Pietro looked towards the one who seemed to be the highest ranking among those soldiers. He was a black man, wearing an iron armor on his upper body that looked a lot like Iron Man's. Pietro recognized him as someone who often stood with President X on TV.
At this time, he was standing in front of a white container, looking somewhat fearful yet helpless as he knocked on the door.
The sound of the knocking echoed in the empty factory. The soldiers around him were silent, no one dared to speak or even breathe loudly for fear of disturbing something.
After a while, a female voice came out from inside the container.
"Didn't I say not to disturb me recently?"
"Sorry, President X, it's important." Cold sweat appeared on the black commander's forehead, but he still bit the bullet and spoke.
At the engineering ladder above the factory, Pietro instantly covered his mouth when he heard this, as he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to help but scream out.
"Is it a border riot, or has nuclear war broken out? I've already said that none of this matters, the entire world will be subjugated when I succeed" The female voice's tone took on a slightly impatient tone.
"No, it's not that, President X. Assassins have broken into here. They destroyed the power supply and released the prisoners detained in the mutant prison. Now those prisoners are on the verge of breaking out."
There was immediate silence in the white container, and the entire factory quieted down. The black commander swallowed nervously, then continued speaking with his head down. "We speculate it is the remnant of the Avengers. We don't know how they got hold of your location, and want to assassinate you through the riots of the mutant prisoners."
Before he could finish speaking, the black commander was blasted away instantly by a beam of red energy. He smashed heavily into the wall of the factory, directly blasting a big hole.
Immediately afterward, the door of the white container blew open. A woman wearing a long red dress with a stunningly beautiful face slowly floated out with the help of a wave of Scarlet Energy.
