Chapter 1200: 1200
"But that alternate personality of hers isn't very easy to talk to," Old Charlie said .
"That's because she's been locked up for so long . Professor X has imprisoned her in a mental cage a long time ago because she's too dangerous . In theory, she can actually combine with Jean's main personality to produce a new personality, the White Phoenix," replied Sheyan .
"Why do I feel like we're playing with fire here?" remarked Old Charlie with a forced smile .
Sheyan laughed . "It'll be fine . We can talk to Jean about it first . If she doesn't agree, we'll turn to Jasper Whitlock Hale instead . He'll do anything for Alice Cullen, and we've fortunately left a pretty good first impression on her . Give me some time, I'll think about how to talk to Jean . "

Night gradually arrived . Sheyan inhaled a deep breath . In eight hours, the smooth ride they had so far would end . The enemy parties would be freed . Party Ace still had no idea what the opponents' mission objective was, but since Party Ace had chosen Salvation while the others had chosen the opposite path, their objective should either be slaughter or destruction .
Party Ace actually had some basic guesses of their own about the contestants on the other side . They were currently facing an immense pressure . Not only did they have to fight against the apocalypse, they also had to confront the forces established by other legendary figures as well as all the other contestants in this world .
Therefore, the difficulty rating of the mission received by the contestants on the other side must be lower than theirs, but it would not be significantly lower . . . . Otherwise, it would not match the high difficulty rating of this world .
"Could it be?!" Sheyan suddenly had an epiphany .
"Maybe there's a limit to the number of people who can complete the mission on the opposite side! For example, only the ten people who raked in the highest amount of achievement points in this mission would complete their mission, while those outside the top ten would fail and face penalties like a deduction in attribute points! Maybe the bottom three contestants would even be killed! Or, maybe killing other contestants would allow one to directly inherit their achievement points?"
"Yes, that makes sense . This way, although all the other contestant parties share the same objective, they'll never be able to cooperate with each other in good faith!"
Sheyan did not stop walking while he was immersed in his thoughts . He soon came to a bar next to a residential building .
Although they've only been in this base for a short period of time, everyone here had extraordinary abilities, so they had managed to turn this temporary base into a pretty solid fortress . Furthermore, it also contained a lot of facilities, despite not being a very large base .
Besides the bar, there was also a supermarket that was as large as a Wal-Mart . Professor X personally scanned all the goods transported into the supermarket for the sake of safety . The people living in the base could take anything they needed from the supermarket for free .
The one in charge of the supermarket must also shoulder the responsibility of procuring a large number of daily necessities . When the time came, they would not be able to obtain supplies for a month or more . He had to make sure everyone had enough supplies to survive through the apocalypse .
He must also take into account the needs of the vampires . The vampires only needed one kind of food, and that was blood . Even the "vegetarian" vampires like the Cullens needed to consume artificial blood or animal blood .
Such a large-scale purchase of grain, oil and food supplies had naturally attracted the attention of the government, but it was a really critical time right now and since they were not firearm transactions, the government chose to ignore them .
It was precisely because the base was so well built that they could prevent the people living inside from going out, as that may cause unwanted accidents . Fortunately, there were not many people in the base, and all of them knew it was no time to cause trouble, so that had greatly reduced the workload of Professor X .
Sheyan pushed open the door of the bar . A few gazes immediately shifted in his direction . News of his strength and achievements had been spread by some of the blood slaves . It was common for people anywhere to worship the strong . He instantly attracted some seductive glances .
Sheyan flashed a polite smile and looked around . He found the Cyclops, Scott Summers, exchanging whispers with Jean in a corner (they were lovers) . Sheyan went straight towards them .
Jean did not have a good impression of Sheyan . She rolled her eyes and ignored him . But Scott Summers was friendly enough . He thought Sheyan was only here for a drink, so he invited Sheyan to sit with them .
Sheyan accepted the invitation . After a moment of silence, he asked, "Do you two believe now that I'm from the future?"
Scott Summers nodded . Although Jean had a very bad impression of Sheyan, she would not go against her conscience . She nodded after a short hesitation .
"I'm glad that's settled . Now, I have a few words that I'd like to say to the both of you . Alone . "
