Chapter 14 - 14

Not bad, Director Fury, you've still got it."

"Motherfucker, can you stop standing there and making sarcastic remarks? I feel like that punch just now dislocated all my internal organs! Conservatively, I broke at least three ribs."

"Scars are a man's glory!"

"I have enough glory. At this point, I'd rather have less glory to torment these old bones."

Li Chengfeng walked forward, kicked Wesker's corpse aside, and then helped Nick Fury up.

Looking at Black Egg (Nick Fury), whose forehead was covered in cold sweat, Li Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh.

The former King of Agents was indeed old and no longer suitable for high-intensity frontline combat missions.

If it wasn't to uncover the secret of his memory, he probably wouldn't have had to suffer this ordeal.

At this moment, Ada Wong and Harley Quinn, who had been clearing out zombies, also rushed over.

"Don't worry about me; I'll be fine after a short rest." Nick Fury, supported by Ada Wong, sat down to the side. "Go see what Wesker was researching that made him willing to expose his whereabouts and mobilize so many new Tyrant models to buy himself time."

Li Chengfeng didn't hesitate either, kicking open the half-door that was swaying and entering the temporary house.

The moment he entered, Li Chengfeng was dazzled by various instruments.

It was actually a mobile research institute.

And on the research table in the very center, there was an object emitting a soft green light... "Holy shit, no way?"

Li Chengfeng took a few quick steps forward to confirm repeatedly.

If his eyes and brain weren't malfunctioning, then the thing in front of him was a green lantern power battery.

A biochemical fanatic researching the energy source of the Universe's space cops? Who would believe that?

Shaking his head, Li Chengfeng decided to take the lantern furnace first.

But the moment his hand touched the lantern furnace, the originally soft green light suddenly became dazzling and blinding, illuminating the previously dark research institute.

Li Chengfeng suddenly remembered that among his previous mission rewards, one of them was "Batman's Willpower."

Batman's willpower could easily control a green lantern ring!

As expected, a power ring shimmering with the same green light slowly flew out of the lantern furnace, finally stopping in front of Li Chengfeng.

"Intelligent life locked.

Li Chengfeng from Earth.

You possess a powerful will to overcome fear.

Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps."

..."Professor Fury, why did a green light suddenly appear inside? Could it be that this headless man set some trap in there?"

"Li Chengfeng can handle all of this." Nick Fury gave a wry smile, looking in another direction, "You should be more worried about our own safety right now."

Ada Wong also cast her gaze in the same direction, her thermal ray rifle held at her chest, ready to unleash a barrage of fire at any moment.

"You've made too much noise. Even if we wanted to pretend we didn't notice anything, it would be impossible."

A group of people emerged from the shadows.

At the forefront was a bald White man in a suit, but he was sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by someone behind him.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Charles Francis Xavier. You can call me Professor Charles or Professor X."

Professor X nodded to Nick Fury.

"Long time no see, Director Fury."

This inexplicable greeting, however, left Nick Fury puzzled: "Professor X? I've never heard that title. And I'm quite sure I've never seen you."

"No, you have seen me, and even twenty years ago, we had a brief collaboration due to the American Government." Professor X said calmly, then uttered the next sentence, "I was the one who erased your memories—all memories concerning me and our Mutant race."

"What!? You are the Mutants Li Chengfeng spoke of!?"

"Li Chengfeng?" Professor X frowned, pressing a finger to his temple. The next moment, he revealed an understanding expression. "So, an FBI Agent from the Republic, one of the Tao brothers' people."

"Just now... did you read our memories?" Nick Fury's single eye widened sharply. "I didn't feel a thing. Is the superpower of Mutants really that potent?"

"This is merely a talent. Aside from this, we are no different from humans."

As soon as Professor X finished speaking, the Mutants behind him began to display their abilities.

Steel claws extended.

An entire body transformed into steel.

One became a blue giant Beast.

Angel-like wings grew.

A small tornado formed in one's hand.

Each person's abilities were different.

Nick Fury, Ada Wong, and Harley Quinn watched everything before them in shock. They knew that various supernatural forces existed in the World.

But they hadn't expected there to be so many.

"So you've deliberately revealed your identities. What do you intend to do?"

After a brief moment of shock, Nick Fury quickly regained his composure.

The main reason was that he couldn't afford not to be calm; these Mutants clearly looked much more formidable than ordinary Agents.

"We are here to seek cooperation." Professor X was unusually calm. "Our kind has been targeted again."

"Targeted?"

"That's right, by an ancient and evil organization. You should be familiar with this organization; it's called 'HYDRA.' Wesker's research over the years, and his presence in Westchester County, were all funded and directed by 'HYDRA' behind the scenes."

Upon hearing the words "HYDRA," Nick Fury's heart instantly tightened. Just as he was about to ask, a rhyming oath echoed from behind him.

"In brightest day, in blackest night,

No evil shall escape my sight.

Let those who worship evil's might,

Beware my power, Green Lantern's light!"

The next moment, Wesker's temporary research institute was instantly split in two. Li Chengfeng, clad in a tight-fitting green and black combat suit, held the lantern furnace in his left hand, while green light extended from his right hand, forming a green battleship-slicing blade. The Green Lantern emblem on his chest shone brightly.

"Uh, good evening, everyone?" Li Chengfeng saw the extra group of people and didn't retract his Green Lantern transformation. He simply tidied his hair and walked to Nick Fury's side. "Wolverine, Colossus, Beast, Angel, Storm, what are you Mutants doing staying up so late to watch the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) execute a mission?"

Professor X finally lost his calm expression, because he didn't know the identity of this green-clad person in front of him.

Nor did he know what abilities he possessed.

So he activated his psychic ability again, attempting to peek into Li Chengfeng's brain.

But... this time he miscalculated.

Under the combined effect of the dionysus factor and the green lantern ring, Professor X's psychic ability was like hitting an invisible steel wall, unable to find even a single crack.

Li Chengfeng naturally knew what Professor X was doing, and he also knew that he wouldn't succeed.

"Alright, my dear Professor X, you may continue to elaborate on your purpose."
