Chapter 172: Starting to Lose Martial Ethics

If only one TV station came, Sander would have dared to block the live broadcast signal, first use firepower to cover and eliminate the threat, then go back to control the reporters, and finally have a good "talk" with these reporters.

But now there are two TV stations.

The reporters brought by the two TV stations have become each other's "protectors" while competing with each other.

If Sander attacks one, the public relations team of the Alkali Group can still handle it.

But if he attacks reporters from two TV stations at the same time, or reporters from well-known TV stations, the public opinion on the Internet will crush them!

"Damn it! Why did they come here at this time?!"

Seeing that the biggest threat to the Alkali Group was about to be eliminated, the TV station that appeared in the middle made the plan impossible to continue. Sander was of course angry.

The new security director Mohawk hesitated and answered:

"Maybe... that mutant came? He posted a new video on the Internet before. Maybe it was because this video revealed the location here that these TV stations rushed here."

In fact, Kevin asked Paul to notify them, and Paul was even interviewed on a TV station's plane now.

However, they don't know this yet because they don't have a TV to watch.

Mohawk made a guess, and Sander stared at the surveillance screen for a long time without saying anything.

After a long silence, Mohawk asked:

"Now...what should we do?"

"...Retreat."

"Retreat!?"

Mohawk's eyes widened:

"Now they are surrounded..."

"I said retreat!! Don't make me repeat it for the third time!!"

Sander yelled at the new security director.

In just a few minutes, Sander had made a wise judgment.

Since there is a TV station here, it proves that the public has determined the hiding place of the new mutants.

In the live broadcast of the TV station, in full view of the public, if Sander still insists on carrying out the task assigned by the Alkali Group, then the Alkali Group will be condemned by public opinion.

After all, they are attacking a group of underage children with heavy weapons.

Whether they are mutants or not, they can be beaten on the pillar of shame by the public for doing such things.

At that time, the Alkali Group will have no room for recovery.

All enemies will use this incident as an excuse to attack them.

On the contrary, if the group of children are allowed to leave, the Alkali Group will not suffer much loss for the time being.

Indeed, their survival is evidence of the inhumane things done to the Alkali Group.

But the Alkali Group also has a public relations department. As long as the public relations department engages in a war of words online, it will take a few months for the heat to subside and not many people will pay attention to this matter.

At that time, the Alkali Group will have more options to solve the problem.

Sander's decision is very smart. If someone else comes, there may not be a better way.

This may be the best solution under the current circumstances.

But unfortunately... rational judgment cannot beat the plug-in.

Someone does not intend to continue to delay with them, and will not allow them to retreat like this.

Just when Sander was about to retreat, the missile launcher on a missile launcher in the military armed forces on standby at the rear suddenly rose up, and under the shocked eyes of everyone, it fired missiles in the direction of the distant watchtower.

Missiles flew together, with tail flames flying far away, and landed in the uninhabited valley below the watchtower under Sander's shocked and desperate eyes.

Boom——!

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky.

…

Time went back a little to three minutes before the missile was launched.

Kevin held a mobile phone in one hand and the device given by Rocket in the other hand. He connected the mobile phone with a data cable and invaded the military control console not far away.

Through the seabird surveillance bought in the market before, Kevin had already discovered the Alkali Group waiting in the distance.

At the same time, he also discovered the TV station rushing here.

The actors are already in place and the camera is already aimed. At such a critical moment, if the Alkali Group retreats and evacuates from here, wouldn't it be a pity?

So Kevin decided to "help" them a little.

"The hero is ready, it would be too rude for the villain to leave..."

Kevin muttered in his heart, and successfully invaded a missile launch platform of the military with the device in his hand.

But just as he was about to launch the missile, Logan walked towards him and said:

"We have already discussed that we will send them to the shelter in Canada..."

"But Charles suddenly remembered that you were going to use the Internet to deal with Alkali, so he asked me to come and ask you, are you going to follow us, or... continue to do your thing?"

"Before answering your question, I need to confirm, are you sure there is a shelter in Canada?"

Kevin stopped what he was doing and looked up to ask.

"This... is what Rector said, what? Do you suspect there is a problem with the shelter?"

"I don't doubt that there are problems with the asylum, but I think that if they continue to flee, there will be no results. The Alkali Group has a wide range of influence. Even if they accept Canada's asylum, what will happen?

"By then, under the pressure of the Alkali Group, it is estimated that many people will choose to hand them over in exchange for benefits. The children don't understand these problems, but I think you should understand, Logan. "

In fact, Kevin didn't know what the shelter in Canada was like.

But the best situation Kevin could think of was that a group of mutants who had fled the city would gather together to form a shelter to provide some shelter for the mutants.

But such a shelter is obviously of no use in the face of the Alkali Group and the malice of the whole world.

If we want to solve the plight of mutants, I'm afraid we have to continue Kevin's method.

Use public opinion to make everyone realize that mutants are also lives and members of this world.

Logan, who has lived for so long, knows very well what Kevin said, that Alkali will come to the door, and it is not impossible.

But he is not the leader of those children, Rector is.

And Charles also wants to go to the shelter with them, so after thinking for a while, Logan said:

"No matter what, we should go to the shelter first to take a look, and when we are sure that the situation there is really bad, we will think of other ways. "

"Although that's what I said, I'm afraid we don't have time. "

Kevin sighed.

Logan was puzzled:

"What do you mean? "

Kevin calmly pressed the button on his phone, seemingly thinking about what to say to Logan.

But at this moment——

Boom!!!

In the valley below the watchtower, there was a violent explosion. The violent vibration and sound waves shattered the glass of the cabin on the mountain.

Kevin and Logan were unable to stand due to the vibration. They subconsciously grabbed the furniture beside them. Then they heard the screams of children outside the wooden house.

The vibration lasted for a while. When the vibration subsided, Kevin and Logan rushed out of the cabin and looked outside.

After confirming that all the children and Charles Caliban were there, Logan hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong? What happened?!"

No one answered Logan's question. The children were also frightened by the sudden change and didn't recover for a long time.

Only Kevin patted Logan on the shoulder and pointed his finger at the woods in the distance and said:

"Logan, look over there."

"...What's over there? I can't see clearly now!"

Now Logan, who needs to wear reading glasses even to watch videos, is really a bit difficult for him to distinguish the people of the Alkali Group in the distance.

Kevin was speechless for a moment, and then quickly said:

"It's the Alkali Group! And this is what I'm worried about, they won't let these children go, no matter where they run to!"

"Are they crazy?! How dare they throw missiles here?!"

When he heard that it was the Alkali Group who did it, and confirmed the type of weapons detonated in the valley below, Logan was also surprisingly angry.

"Not only that... they also brought troops here."

Kevin used his five senses that far surpassed ordinary people to "see" everything in the distance, and said to everyone with a serious face.

The children's leader Rector no longer hesitated when he heard this, and he immediately said to everyone:

"We have to leave here, now, immediately! Everyone pack up and run to the border!!"

"You guys run first, I'll try to help you hold them back!"

Kevin rolled up his sleeves and said to the children seriously, while turning his phone to recording mode and putting it in his chest pocket.

At this moment, his expression was serious and resolute, like a soldier who was about to go to the battlefield to die.

This was of course just acting, in order to better perform the drama he directed.

Perhaps knowing what Kevin was going to do, Caliban actually cooperated and said:

"Your ability is to control water... But there is no water nearby, what are you going to use to stop them?"

Kevin pointed at him with his finger, and then said helplessly:

"There will be a way, believe me."

"I'll help you." Logan suddenly said, he looked at Rector: "The potion you prepared before should still be there? Give it to me, Kevin and I will help you hold them back."

The medicine Logan said is a special potion that enhances the abilities of these mutants.

As mutants born the day after tomorrow, their abilities are not too strong. It may be because they have not grown up yet and their abilities have not been trained.

But after being injected with the potion cultivated by the Alkali Group, their abilities will be instantly enhanced.

And this potion is also effective for old mutants.

Earlier, Rector took out the potion as a reward for Logan and others for sending Laura here, but Logan didn't think of using it.

But now, the Alkali Group has come to the door. If Logan doesn't help, he can only watch these children being captured and cleaned up by the Alkali.

And Kevin will die here, which is something Logan doesn't want to see.

So he chose to inject the potion now, and later face the Alkali Group and the military with Kevin.

"Things are not that bad, Logan..."

Kevin wanted to persuade him. He knew that Logan was in poor health. If he forced himself to fight, he would probably die on the battlefield.

But Logan didn't want to talk any more. He stopped Kevin from talking and said:

"Things are already bad now! Kevin, we have no other choice now."

He said, and stretched out his hand to Rector.

Rector looked at him for a long time, and finally chose to put the medicine and the syringe in Logan's hand.

Rector respected Logan's choice.
