American Comics: Multiverse of Madness.

Chapter 657 Asking for help
Opening the bathroom door, Zhang Ye walked out again.

This time his entire aura changed drastically. Although he looked very free and easy before, the gloom between his brows and the complexity within his heart were still observed by people around him.

But now, Zhang Ye has changed from his usual gloomy look to become sunny and confident. This is not an act or emotion he plays out, but his real state at the moment.

Zhang Ye's change naturally did not escape the old wolf Logan's eyes. James had been observing him since he heard the sound of Zhang Ye opening the door. Now seeing Zhang Ye's change, he nodded slightly. "It seems that you have found the answer to the question in your heart."

"Not really an answer, but overall, at least I have a plan and direction for the next step." Zhang Ye smiled and said casually.

"That's good." James didn't say much. He himself didn't want to get involved in these things. If he hadn't encountered Zhang Ye, Polaris and others one after another, he would not have ended up in this embarrassing situation now.

On the TV screen, the horrific killing continued. The mutants who were teleported here suffered heavy casualties in the massacre by the Wild Sentinels, and more fled in all directions.

People had no idea where these mutants came from, let alone who created this gigantic mechanical monster. But since so many top leaders of various countries had died here, they naturally couldn't just sit back and watch. So it didn't take long before military forces surrounded the Capitol and began to attack the Wild Sentinels.

"They can't beat that monster. No one can defeat it." Shanting looked at the screen on TV quietly and muttered to himself.

"What, do you know the origin of this thing?" Polaris Luna looked at her companion strangely and asked curiously.

"I don't know." Flashing shook his head slightly and continued, "But I can see that the technological level of this thing is definitely not comparable to this world. It won't be long before this world will be destroyed by this thing."

"Are you sure?" Hearing this, even James couldn't help but look sideways.

"It's just a guess, but look at it." He pointed at the battlefield on TV. On the screen, countless small sentinel robots flew out of the body of the wild sentinel. Although they were called "small", each of them was five meters tall, like a giant. "Is this thing something that humans can defeat?"

"What should I do? Don't tell me you want to go over and help?" Polaris was a little nervous. She had been hunted down by various high-tech weapons targeting mutants since she was a child. This made her instinctively averse to high-tech weapons. And now, this wild Sentinel who was killing everyone made her feel uncomfortable.

Shanting also swallowed her saliva. To be honest, she didn't know what to do now. The strength of this thing was truly beyond her understanding.

At this moment, Zhang Ye's voice came from behind them.

"Don't worry, this thing is not as unsolvable as you think, especially since it is now in your world."

Hearing the noise, Polaris and Shanting turned their heads at the same time and looked towards Zhang Ye's position. Even James shifted his gaze, waiting for Zhang Ye's next explanation.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Zhang Ye shrugged slightly.

"Please, I know this wild sentinel gives you a strong sense of oppression, and it feels like you have encountered a creation of the gods, but this is a technological product after all, and physics has not disappeared. No matter how powerful this ghost thing is, it has to obey the laws of matter."

As he spoke, Zhang Ye came to the TV and tapped on the screen.

"Look, this is such a big robot. How much kinetic energy do you think it consumes for each action? And how should its energy be replenished? Including the weapons on it, do you think the amount of energy it carries can support it to complete the program it has retained at this time?"

"You mean?" Polaris reacted the fastest. She understood the key point of Zhang Ye's words in an instant. As for James, he sat down directly and went to the table to choose the food he wanted to eat.

"Judging from the current state of this Wild Sentinel, it should be in combat mode, and was teleported here by some entity just when it was about to be destroyed. So it is still maintaining its originally programmed program and carrying out the next designated action. But without sufficient energy supply, it will soon stop and turn into a pile of steel again."

Zhang Ye spread his hands and said casually.

Perhaps these mutants themselves possess some special mutant abilities, so every time they encounter some problems, they will subconsciously ignore some obvious things.

For example, everyone knows that Iron Man has many powerful armors, but how many people care about how long the energy of these armors can allow Tony Stark to fight.

Besides, Zhang Ye didn't believe that the Dark Observer would allow the Wild Sentinels to destroy all civilizations on Earth. The other party's target was himself, and these things were just things they put out to attract his attention.

After explaining to the two girls, Zhang Ye also came to the table, sat opposite James, and picked up a bag of melon seeds.

"I heard about Caliban and that ship." James didn't find it strange at all when he heard Zhang Ye's words. After learning how terrifying Zhang Ye's strength was, he felt that it was outrageous that Zhang Ye didn't know these things.

After taking a sip of beer, James spoke in a deep voice. "Caliban cannot be exposed to sunlight, and it would be too conspicuous to take him away, so I left him in a safe place. Once we find a suitable seller, we will leave here together."

"You want to take advantage of the chaos to leave?" Zhang Ye raised his eyelids.

"What else?" James asked. "This country has long been unsuitable for us to live in. If Charles' illness hadn't dragged on, I would have left here long ago. It's a pity that Charles' funds and properties have all been frozen and confiscated. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen to this point."

"I'm afraid it's not as easy as you think."

"What do you mean?" James frowned.

Zhang Ye did not keep the secret, but spoke calmly. "There are probably many people who share the same idea as you, and with so many mutants wreaking havoc in Manhattan, and the whole process was broadcast live, who knows how many of them escaped, and the conflict will intensify. Do you think you can leave here as you wish?"

James remained silent. He knew that Zhang Ye was right. If they had a chance to leave here before, then after experiencing this incident, the lives of these mutants would become even more difficult.

Such a large number of mutants appeared out of nowhere. They not only killed senior officials of various countries, but also blew up the entire Capitol. Now these guys are fleeing in all directions. It is absolutely impossible for the military and relevant departments to not take action.

Judging from what Pierce said before, they have long been eyeing these outsiders from other universes, and the destruction now is the evidence to prove their title of "invaders".

From now on, anyone who is sent here from another universe will be on the wanted list, even people like Polaris and Flash who just want to live a good life are no exception.

And since the invaders who caused this series of impacts are all mutants, based on their identities, even Logan and Charles may be implicated.

"Now I know why Pierce targeted Caliban. With so many fugitives, Caliban's ability can definitely be of great use to him." James pinched his brows and took another sip of wine.

"Yes, so Caliban's current situation is not safe. If only Pierce's forces were looking for Caliban before, I guess after this incident, the whole country will start looking for Caliban."

At this point, Zhang Ye suddenly thought of something and looked up at James.

"Logan, do you know what the Essex Group behind Pierce does?"

Hearing this, James nodded slightly. "I was approached by a woman who used to be a nurse in a laboratory about transforming mutants and using their genes to breed new mutant babies. She told me about this, but I didn't want to get involved at the time. In fact, I don't want to get involved now."

"There was a riot in the Essex Group's laboratory, and many experimental subjects escaped, which are the new mutants you mentioned. I guess those children are also fleeing now." Zhang Ye opened a bag of jelly and said calmly. "If these mutants who caused the riot in Manhattan collide with those children, I'm afraid the problem will be even more serious."

James also sighed heavily at this. He knew how chaotic the current situation was, and he knew even more what consequences this disaster would cause.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these things that have nothing to do with us."

After a long silence, James finally chose to put these things behind him. He looked up at Zhang Ye and asked casually.

"Tell me about yourself. What are you going to do next? I'm afraid that your visit to me this time is not just to bring me some food."

"It's not true." Seeing that James had no intention of continuing the previous topic, Zhang Ye didn't say much. He paused for a moment and continued. "I came here specifically to seek your help."

"What do you want me to do?" James frowned.

"The situation here is a bit complicated. I can't handle it alone, so -"

Zhang Ye smiled, placed a photo on the table and pushed it in front of James.

"I need you to help me find some help in another world."
