Chapter 156 The Locals Are So Impolite

The location chosen by the skill tree is generally the closest to the mission target.

At least the closest to the mission related people.

This is the conclusion Kevin came to before.

However, because the only example is the Guardians of the Galaxy, Kevin is not sure whether his guess is correct.

But now, this inference is basically correct. The skill tree will indeed put Kevin in the closest place to the mission target related people.

This time is almost the same, but Kevin took the initiative to stay away from the target.

If the fully armed convoy Kevin saw just now is indeed the temporary residence of Wolverine and Professor X, then even if Kevin rushes there now, it is probably too late.

He may not find anything, and he can't see Wolverine.

At this stage, the X-Men are almost wiped out, Magneto and his mutants are nowhere to be found, Jean Grey is even dead, and no one knows where the Phoenix Force on her body has gone.

To find the Phoenix Force, Kevin probably has to go to Wolverine and Professor X.

At least they knew where Jean Grey was buried, and perhaps Jean Grey's remains still had some Phoenix power.

Therefore, even though it was a little late to go there now, Kevin had to follow the previous route to find these two important figures in the X-Men world.

He ran leisurely when he came, and he tried his best to hurry back when he returned.

At a speed of one thousand kilometers per hour, Kevin returned to his original position in just over ten minutes, and followed the tire marks of the vehicles on the ground to track the direction of the convoy.

After some time of searching, Kevin soon sensed the existence of the "water source".

Or rather, the existence of blood.

Looking up and looking forward, an abandoned water tower workshop built on the wilderness appeared in front of Kevin.

Inside the workshop, Kevin saw the armed convoy he had seen on the road before.

The vehicles were parked in the open space in the workshop, and not far from the vehicles, there were several armed personnel who were picking up the broken limbs and debris.

They were wearing black bulletproof suits and helmets, just like SWAT.

But at this moment, they were doing what the scavengers were doing.

They were armed personnel from Alkali Genetics.

They were cleaning up the wreckage here, which meant that they had already had a conflict with Wolverine.

Kevin was late after all, but it didn't matter. Even if he couldn't find Wolverine, he still had people from Alkali.

Looking at the Alkali employees who were cleaning up the scene, Kevin walked up and asked with a smile:

"Do you want to help?"

"?!"

The armed personnel from Alkali didn't expect anyone to dare to approach them in this situation.

They raised their guns and pointed them at Kevin:

"Who are you?! Put your hands up!"

"You locals are so rude, is this how you welcome guests?"

Looking at the gun pointed at him, Kevin frowned slightly:

"And I don't like you pointing guns at me."

"Put your hands up!! Otherwise we will shoot!"

Several armed members of Alkali Company were relatively restrained. Even if they knew Kevin was wrong, they did not shoot immediately, but only pointed their guns at Kevin.

But if they didn't shoot, Kevin had no reason to trouble them.

So under the muzzles of several guns, Kevin took a step forward, still smiling:

"If you have the guts, just shoot?"

Da Da Da——!

Just as Kevin finished speaking, an Alkali employee who was closer to him pulled the trigger at him.

The bullet flew out of the muzzle with flames and hit Kevin's body.

But Kevin didn't move at all.

Kevin's level 4 physique had allowed him to ignore the threat of bullets.

Now that he has upgraded to level 5 fighter body, he is almost immune to most physical attacks in the world. A mere bullet may not even penetrate Kevin's eyelids.

Under the horrified gaze of the Alkali employees, the bullet that hit Kevin fell to the ground, and Kevin's smile became even brighter:

"You were the first to attack, so I'll fight back a little now, you should have no objection, right?"

"It's a mutant... mutant! Go--!"

Bang!

Someone shouted loudly, wanting everyone to attack Kevin together.

But just as the words came out, his head exploded like a bursting watermelon.

Blood splattered, and the headless body fell to the ground with a bang.

The bloody curtain made everyone fall into silence, including Kevin who caused all this.

He actually just wanted to try to see if he could do what Newman did, and blow up the enemy's head from a distance.

Having never experimented before, Kevin is of course going to give it a try now that he is in a place where he can freely experiment with his abilities.

But I didn't expect that the actual operation would be so bloody. What I saw on the screen was really different from what I saw in reality.

Let's be more careful in the operation later.

Kevin thought.

Just control the blood in their heads and stir their brains into brains. There is no need to really blow their heads open. That would be too disgusting and not something a decent person would do.

Besides, Newman chose to blow up other people's heads because she was not so careful in handling blood. Kevin was different from her, so there was no reason for him to become a "head-exploding man".

Selectively ignoring this bloody and unpleasant scene, Kevin continued to move forward and smiled at Alkali's employees:

"Sorry, there was a little accident just now. I promise that the scene will not be so bloody next time, so... shall we continue?"

Kevin's smile was very kind and sunny.

But this sunny smile, in the eyes of the people on the opposite side, was like a devil.

Terrifying.

...

A few minutes before Kevin came here, in the factory of the water tower.

A man in a windbreaker with a mechanical arm on his right hand is "interrogating" another mutant who has lived with Wolverine Logan for a long time.

Caliban.

This is a mutant with albinism and fear of sunlight. His ability is to sense and track other mutants. He used to work for Alkali Corporation.

Until later, for some unknown reason, he quit the company and stayed with Wolverine Logan and Professor X.

But these are not important.

Donald Pierce took the chair and sat in front of Caliban.

He put the mechanical arm on the back of the chair and looked at Caliban, who was wrapped in a cloak to avoid being sunburned.

"… I won't say more. Since you have worked for us before, now do us a favor again and use your ability to help us find the little girl who ran away."

Donald got straight to the point.

The runaway girl, X23, is one of the more successful products of Alkali Corporation.

They originally wanted to train X23 as a weapon, but who knew that there was a traitor in the company, and a nurse who treated these experimental subjects as her own children let them run away.

As a result, the Alkali Group is now looking for people everywhere.

Before this, the Alkali Group needed a lot of intelligence and a little bit of luck to find people.

But now with Caliban, they don’t have to work so hard to find people.

Caliban’s cloak was taken off, he raised his head, stared at Donald, and answered decisively:

"I won’t help you."

"Well, I guessed you would say that, but I think people’s nature will not change."

Donald turned his head and looked at the curtain above his head that blocked the sunlight.

While playing with the dagger, he said:

"You are afraid of sunlight, right? Just like the legendary vampires, I think when you were a child, your mother should have told you to "be careful of the light."

Caliban looked at Donald with horror in his eyes.

He seemed to realize what Donald was going to do.

Sure enough, Donald turned around and smiled at Caliban:

"Be careful of the light."

After saying this, Donald was about to use a dagger to cut the rope connected to the blackout curtain above his head.

But at this moment——

Da Da Da——!

The sound of gunfire from outside interrupted Donald's action, and also made Caliban's heart, which was hanging in his throat, relax a little.

Donald frowned and looked at the two security guards behind Caliban, and said:

"Go out and see what's happening outside."

"Okay..."

The security guard was about to answer, but the screams from outside interrupted the conversation again.

"Ahhh——!!"

"It's a mutant! At least level 4——Ahhh!!"

The screams outside continued one after another, and Donald felt something was wrong. He subconsciously picked up the pistol and pointed the gun outside with the two security guards who stayed with him.

As the screams and gunshots outside gradually disappeared and returned to calm, they were also extremely nervous and vigilant, staring at the direction of the door.

Bang! !

The closed door of the warehouse was kicked away in an extremely violent way.

In the afternoon sun, a figure wearing a sun hat walked in from outside with his back to the sun.

He was the only one who came in, no one else, even the security personnel arranged by Donald outside were nowhere to be seen.

And this means that all the people left outside were killed.

No one survived.

"Actually, I just wanted to be polite."

The man who walked into the warehouse suddenly said:

"I just wanted to ask for directions, but you locals are really too rude and actually shot at me, so I was forced to defend myself."

This is what the mutant who entered the warehouse said.

As he was talking, he finally walked out of the shadows and came to Donald.

This was a mutant that Donald didn't know. At that moment, Donald recalled the list of all the mutants that were threatening on the company's list.

But whether it was the X-Men or Magneto's Brotherhood, he didn't find a mutant that matched the image of the man in front of him.

But there is no doubt that he was able to walk here unscathed, without even a drop of blood on his body, proving that he was a Level 4 mutant like Magneto.

At least a Level 3 mutant with special abilities specifically targeting humans.

"You... who are you?"

The indifference that he showed in front of Caliban just now disappeared. Donald's mechanical arm in his right hand tightly grasped the pistol and stared at the newcomer very nervously.

The handsome man in the baseball cap smiled kindly at Donald and said:

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is...are those people outside your men?"

"Yes..."

"Very good, bye."

The man in the baseball cap had no intention of chatting with Donald.

After knowing that Donald was the leader here, he gently raised his hand and waved at Donald.

This action made Donald and the remaining two security members alert, and they even wanted to pull the trigger immediately.

But then they found that their fingers no longer obeyed their commands, their eyes were blurred, and their bodies collapsed to the ground without any warning.

Blood flowed from their nostrils, ears and eyes, and their bodies on the ground twitched constantly, and they lost their voices soon.

Donald never figured out what the man in the baseball cap did to him until his death.

What kind of ability did he have?
