Chapter 175 Shot!

Kevin finally got a little more serious.

There was no water nearby, and it was true that he couldn't use his ability to control water flow.

But when he clicks on the third-level [Fighter's Dance], several streams of water will dance around him.

These water flows are very tough, and with Kevin's water manipulation skills, they can be condensed into various shapes.

So under the lens of the live broadcast room, Kevin began his own 'path of growth'.

Surrounded by water, he rushed into the crowd to prevent the soldiers from reaching the children. At first, his movements were unfamiliar and he was occasionally punched in the face by the soldiers.

But it didn’t take long for Kevin to become more skilled in his movements and better able to control the water flow on his body.

The water condensed into a sharp blade and circled around Kevin like a piece of iron. Every time it touched the enemy, it would leave a fatal wound on the enemy.

Even in order to provide a better viewing experience for the viewers in the live broadcast room, Kevin sometimes stopped to give a less obvious 'close-up'.

Kevin's rise made the audience in the live broadcast room cheer.

Sandel couldn't bear it.

After knowing that Kevin would not use his ability to kill people from afar in order to maintain his "personality" during the live broadcast, Sandel simply felt relieved and directly ordered:

"Shoot me!! Shoot those old mutants!! Especially that guy named Kevin! I don't care what method you use! Kill him!!!"

At this point, Sandel has no way out.

No matter what, the company's image has hit rock bottom, and no matter how hard we try to maintain dignity, we simply can't.

It's better to take advantage of the other party's personality for himself and take this opportunity to kill him!

This mutant named Kevin, his ability is a threat to everyone, and even because he doesn't know how to defend against his ability, Sandel's plan from the beginning was to provide fire coverage from a long distance.

Keep a distance from Kevin and strike from a distance to eliminate the target, thereby avoiding the inexplicable death of those close to him.

It was just that later, because of the involvement of the TV station and Kevin's live broadcast, he gave up using heavy weapons.

But now, Sander feels that some conventional hot weapons can be used.

For example, sniper rifles, machine guns, and artillery cannons, these weapons can be used.

If the mutant named Kevin is unwilling to use his real ability to fight back, then he will die under these weapons!

On the other hand, it doesn't matter even if he uses these abilities.

When he uses those weird and bloody abilities, the persona he carefully created in front of the public will collapse in an instant.

The audience will think that Kevin's abilities are cruel and "evil", which will reduce their favorability towards him and begin to doubt what he did before.

Sander certainly hopes that things will develop in the latter direction, which can not only solve the group's predicament, but also make Kevin lose his reputation.

But even if it is the former situation, Sander feels that it is not a loss.

It is better for Kevin, who makes the group feel troubled, to die here than for him to live and continue to cause trouble for the group.

And if we can use his body for research, maybe we can create a weapon more powerful than X24 in the end.

Sander has already begun to imagine what Kevin will look like after his death.

He seems to be sure that Kevin will die here today, either physically or socially.

…

Logan feels that his condition has never been so good.

After the injection of the drug, his body is recovering at a very fast speed. The hidden injuries in his body that could not heal themselves over the years are gradually recovering, and strength is slowly surging throughout his body.

The five senses have become sharper, and the completely degraded wild intuition has also returned briefly.

Logan once again experienced the state of his peak period.

His claws became sharp again, like a wolf rushing into a flock of sheep, and he rushed through the crowd.

The steel claws tore the enemy's limbs and penetrated the enemy's chest. Whether it was a soldier or a mercenary, their bullets could not stop Logan's footsteps.

Sprint, sprint again, until he rushed to the children and protected them across the border.

"Stop them!!"

"I'm about to catch those children-!"

"You can shoot! Repeat, you can shoot!!"

Da da da--

The conversations between the soldiers and the group's mercenaries were mixed with the sound of gunfire resounding through the forest.

Logan felt bullets piercing his body, but the wounds pierced by bullets recovered in less than a few seconds.

"Ah--!!!"

The pain and the feeling of adrenaline gathering quickly made Logan roar at the enemy.

He roared and jumped out again, slashing those who shot at him with faster speed and stronger force.

"Run!! Run!! Run faster!! You will be safe once you cross the border!!!"

As he got closer to the children, Logan heard Rector's voice.

He used his ability to set up dirt roadblocks along the way to buy time for the children to escape.

But all he did seemed to be of little use.

The people of the Alkali Group were faster. In the not particularly dense woods, they drove off-road vehicles through them and chased the children.

Except for mutants like Quicksilver, how could the speed of ordinary mutants be comparable to that of vehicles.

It was only a matter of time before the kids were caught up, but Logan was powerless.

His steel claws could not handle so many vehicles.

He could only stop one of the vehicles at most, that was all.

But Logan was not alone.

"Stay away from them!!!!"

Kevin's roar came from behind him. In the sparse woods, Kevin's feet were entangled in the water, and the whole person shuttled through the crowd as if flying.

There was a clear stream of water condensing in his hand. Under his control, each stream of water turned into a tiny projectile, which flew out with his fingers!

The projectiles were not big, but they were very powerful. They were like bullets, accurately penetrating the forehead and body of every soldier.

The enemies fell to the ground like harvested wheat. In the blink of an eye, a large area of ​​enemies around Logan was vacant.

"...You should use this ability earlier, bastard."

Seeing Kevin easily solve this group of enemies, Logan muttered in silence.

If he had known Kevin was so powerful, Logan should not have followed him out and injected the medicine of the Alkali Group.

His body seemed not to adapt to the medicine developed by Alkali. After just a few minutes of being strong, Logan felt tired.

Apparently the effect of the medicine was about to wear off.

Kevin rushed to Logan while flying. When he saw that the children had run away, he slowly exhaled and said to Logan:

"If it's about delaying time, we should have done it, right?"

"Probably..."

Logan looked around.

Kevin's "big cleanup" just now did not even spare the Alkali members who were driving.

A hole was opened in the middle of their eyebrows.

Many vehicles lost control and crashed into the trees next to them, blocking the vehicles behind them from moving forward.

In this case, whether you get off the car to chase the group of children or drive around, it is too late in time.

The Alkali Group can no longer stop the children from crossing the border.

So, they did succeed in delaying time.

"Are the professor and Caliban okay?"

After confirming that the children were safe, Kevin asked about the whereabouts of Professor X and Caliban.

"They have already hidden, and they are not the target of the Alkali Group, so there should be no problem."

Logan replied.

Alkali came too hastily, and Professor X was unable to leave with the children due to his inconvenience, so he could only let Caliban take them to find a relatively secret place to hide.

After all, Alkali's target is these children, and as long as these children are not there, they will not seriously search for the place where the children have lived.

Charles and Caliban don't have to worry about being found and captured by Alkali for the time being.

Therefore, Kevin and Logan's mission is considered completed.

If nothing unexpected happens.

The accident came more suddenly than expected. Kevin was going to take out his phone to say something to the audience in the live broadcast room, but suddenly [Heart of the Deep Sea] sensed it, and a premonition of danger came from the depths of the forest.

Almost subconsciously, Kevin turned around and moved his feet, looking like he was blocking Logan.

And the next moment he made a move, his body flew out as if he was hit by a speeding car.

Then the gunshots were heard in the woods.

Bang! !

"Kevin!!"

Kevin's body flew in the air, and Logan subconsciously caught him, but was also pushed back several steps by the huge recoil.

When he stabilized his body and looked at Kevin again, he found that Kevin's chest was already red, and blood was flowing out like a spring.

"Ahem... It's... anti-material... sniper rifle... Ahem..."

Kevin 'hardly' spat out a mouthful of blood, staring unwillingly into the depths of the woods.

But even at this time, he did not put down his phone, and even avoided the trajectory just now to prevent the high-powered sniper bullet from smashing the phone.

Obviously, Kevin is still acting now, but it's a pity that Logan didn't notice it in his anxiety.

"Kevin! Are you okay!? Damn it! Damn it!!"

Logan tore off Kevin's clothes and pressed them on Kevin as a simple gauze, trying to stop the blood from pouring out.

Kevin's injury was obviously fatal. In the wilderness where there was no hospital or emergency equipment, everyone knew what Kevin's fate would be.

Comments on the phone were pouring in like crazy, most of them asking what happened to Kevin.

But Logan didn't look at his phone, and Kevin couldn't answer, so the audience in the live broadcast room could only worry.

Just as Logan tried to give Kevin first aid, Alkali and military members in the distance surrounded him again.

They failed to catch the children, but they were able to catch Logan and get Kevin's body, so their trip was not a loss.

Seeing Kevin being hit in the chest by a sniper rifle and completely losing his ability to move, Sander finally dared to step out from behind the scenes.

Wearing a beige windbreaker, he walked in front of Kevin and Logan like an elegant old man.

"We finally meet, Kevin? That's your name, right?"

Sander put his hands in his pockets and lowered his head to ask the dying Kevin.

Kevin struggled, staring at Sander and reading his name:

"Sander Rice..."

"You know me, yes, then I don't need to introduce myself, I can get straight to the point, do you want to live? Kevin."

Sander looked at Kevin, and with Logan's help, Kevin barely stood up from the ground, sneered and asked:

"Do you want to die? Sander, how dare you stand in front of me?"

Now Sander and Kevin are very close, as long as Kevin wants, he can control the blood to pierce the other's head at any time.
