Scarlet Witch was still desperately using her magic to sustain the lives of the three people, but she soon felt something was amiss. The condition of the three had stabilized; they no longer needed her magic to reverse what was happening to them.
And when Logan opened his eyes first, Wanda confirmed the fact. At the same time, she realized that Zhou Yi had completed this difficult task.
"Where is this? Damn it, my head!" As soon as he opened his eyes, Logan couldn't help but clutch his head and curse. For the world his body was in, he had only been asleep for a while. But for his soul, he had traveled alone in a deserted world for centuries. This huge time conflict caused his entire brain to twitch.
As Logan complained, Quicksilver also woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but shout at his sister.
"Quick, Wanda. Help, water, give me water!" He was so thirsty, as if he were a traveler who had traveled in the desert for several weeks.
Wanda, who felt sorry for her brother, quickly used her magical powers to condense a huge water sphere in mid-air. The moment he saw the water sphere, Quicksilver plunged his entire head into it.
Gurgling sounds came from his abdomen, and he drank the huge water sphere into his stomach like a whale sucking water. It wasn't until his belly bulged like a ball that he pulled his head out and sat on the ground, clutching his stomach. An expression of finally being saved appeared on his face.
Looking at his strange performance, Wanda couldn't help but ask.
"Peter, do you know how much water you drank? A whole two liters! What happened to you?"
Quicksilver's face showed a look of utter disbelief. He clutched his stomach uncomfortably and answered, his face pale.
"I don't know either. I just remember running and running. Damn it, I think I ran around the Earth two hundred times, and I couldn't stop. Now, just thinking about running makes me feel awful. I feel like I've walked all the roads I'll ever walk in my life!"
Wanda's eyes narrowed. She almost understood what Quicksilver had gone through. Indeed, for Quicksilver, distance was no longer an obstacle, but there were limits. His ability was temporal manipulation, which allowed him to do in one second what others could do in an hour or even a day. But that didn't mean he could make the entire world's length the distance of two steps. The Earth's circumference was there, and even Quicksilver had to walk it properly.
And running around the Earth two hundred times was enough for Quicksilver to exhaust everything he could consume in his body, whether it was energy or water. That was also why his body looked the way it did. His flesh had long been consumed, leaving only an empty shell. If it weren't for Wanda's magic, no treatment in the world could save him.
Thinking about this, Wanda felt a wave of fear.
At this moment, the wind suddenly picked up. A black figure appeared before them with the sound of the wind. It was Zhou Yi, who had just returned.
He looked at the few people who had woken up and then asked Wanda.
"How long was I gone?"
"Just fifteen minutes. Did you go to the other space?" Wanda was sharp enough to detect the question in Zhou Yi's words, but she didn't delve further. Instead, she said solemnly, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou. Thank you for saving my brother!"
"It was nothing. Logan! How are you?" Zhou Yi replied dismissively and turned to ask Logan. As a friend, he had to worry about Logan's condition. What had happened to him was far more terrifying than what happened to Quicksilver.
Logan twisted his neck, still not quite used to it. But he still answered.
"I should be fine! But it really was only fifteen minutes? It felt like a thousand years. Damn time, it's making my head spin. Right, mate, who's the little girl you've got there?"
"Erisa Otis. She's the one who turned you into that." As Zhou Yi finished speaking, Quicksilver flashed away, putting a great distance between himself and the others. Logan also extended his claws, becoming nervously alert.
"It's this little thing, are you sure she's harmless?"
"Don't worry, she's fine. For now, she's just an ordinary person." Zhou Yi put down the girl in his arms and said, "We don't have time to waste. But someone has to watch her; she's dangerous. I think you know that, so who wants to do it?"
Logan and Quicksilver exchanged glances, clearly neither of them wanted to take on this task. However, Wanda made the decision for Quicksilver.
"Let Peter watch her. He's not really suited to be with us right now."
"Why me? I think Mystique is a better fit for this. She could totally turn into a nun!" Quicksilver retorted, but he quickly realized Mystique wasn't present. "Damn it, where is she?"
"She left on her own when she woke up. You know, she followed Erik for many years, she's already a hardened warrior." Wanda shrugged. "Compared to her, Peter, you still have a long way to go, so just watch this girl. This job suits you better."
Quicksilver looked around, but there was no one else here besides him. So he could only nod his head in resignation.
"Alright, alright. I'll do it, but Wanda, be careful!" Saying this, he looked very sincere. Just like Wanda's feelings for him, he also cared deeply for his sister. The affection between them was completely incomparable to their feelings for Magneto.
Wanda waved her hand, signaling Quicksilver to relax. Then she walked to Zhou Yi's side and said to him, "Let's go. I'm sure you don't want my crazy father to do anything first, right?"
Zhou Yi heard this and put his arm around Wanda's waist, while turning his head to look at Logan.
Wolverine said to him firmly,
"I don't want a man holding me. You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."
Zhou Yi didn't say anything more. Since Logan said so, he would let him act as backup. Having arranged everything, Zhou Yi charged towards the deepest part of the base with Wanda. Magneto had already gone ahead. At the same time, another long-scheming conspirator was there. He didn't know what he would encounter there, maybe a trap, maybe even greater danger. But no matter what, he had to move forward.
And in the deepest part of the base, Magneto's situation was very precarious at this moment.
In front of him, Stryker, guarded by two women with Asian faces, looked at him with a mocking gaze, and said in a strange, effeminate voice,
"How do you feel, Mr. Magneto? Don't you even know who I am? It's a pity. You painstakingly led an army of Mutants here, just to destroy my plan and take my life. Now I'm standing in front of you, but you don't even have the strength to control yourself."
"Impossible?" Magneto's voice became a little ethereal. Just as Stryker had said, he was beginning to gradually lose control of his body. It felt as if someone was taking his mind. But this was impossible. He was still wearing the only helmet in the world that could shield against all mental intrusions. No one could take his mind under these circumstances. Not even Charles in his prime could do it.
"Why is it impossible? Do you know how much preparation I've made to restrain you Mutants?" Stryker turned to the side, allowing Magneto to clearly see Charles and Jason behind him. "Number 147, Master Illusion Jason. My son. The secretions extracted from his cerebral cortex are the most magical hallucinogenic elements in the world. The potions made from it can make everyone lose their minds and only follow commands. You've been hit, haven't you?"
Magneto was somewhat incredulous; he had protected himself well. Stryker shouldn't have had the chance to inject this drug into him. But the reality was that he did feel the loss of his mind, and it was only a matter of time before he was controlled.
So, although it was difficult, he still asked, "When? You couldn't have had a chance."
"Unwilling, are we?" Stryker laughed delightedly; for him, nothing was more wonderful than seeing the symbol of Mutants struggling in front of him. "You Mutants only know how to play with your superpowers, but you don't know that in front of human technology, you are just a little more advanced than apes. You really think the human world is so easy for you to overthrow? You think 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' is really hard science fiction that holds up? Too ridiculous! For you, I have countless methods, and this is just the most peculiar one."
"Do you feel that the air here is a little different from the outside? Is it exceptionally fresh? That's right, just as you thought. I diluted all the concoction into the air filtration device. This was originally prepared to control Charles, but I didn't expect you to barge in like a headless fly. You know, all the air here carries the most terrifying hallucinatory aura. Mr. Magneto, I think you haven't evolved to the point of existing without oxygen yet!"
"You think mind control can really be solved with just a helmet? You should really go see a psychiatrist; I mean, let him hypnotize you. Let you see the current hypnosis methods. Really, just do it with your hands." Stryker said as he walked forward and kicked Magneto to the ground. Magneto, who had lost control, was no different from an old man at this moment.
"So I said, your fusty brain is still stuck half a century ago, and you just barged in so openly. I'm not that group of Soviets with their heads full of vodka. At least you have to use your brain to deal with me."
Magneto curled up, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time. The last time was in Germany during the Nazi era. But he still didn't understand one thing.
"Why are you alright?"
Stryker chuckled, a look of vengeful satisfaction on his face.
"I have you all to thank for that. My entire life was tormented by Jason. But at this final moment, I discovered I'm actually resistant to this thing. What an incredible twist of fate!"
