Chapter 106 Heat Vision Saves the Day, Shocking Everyone
In the lush green forest, several figures moved nimbly through the trees.
John was the leader, and he looked unwell, extremely tired, with fresh bruises on his face.
Several people from the shelter followed closely behind him.
Everyone ran away in a tense panic, their eyes warily scanning their surroundings, worried that the special police or patrol teams might appear at any moment.
Suddenly, John stopped and squatted down in front of him.
"Shhh."
He blew a light breath and raised his hand to signal the people behind him to stop.
There are people ahead.
John pointed to a large tree not far ahead.
A fully armed special police squad was seen sweeping around, their rifles shoveling through haystacks where people might be hiding, looking up at the bushes overhead, their eyes fixed on the depths of the forest, checking for any unusual activity.
"Damn it!"
Suddenly, someone in the group started cursing, his eyes coldly fixed on the sweeping SWAT team officers. "When are these guys going to stop chasing us? Are they really going to wipe us out?"
"Shh!"
John frantically blew on his mouth to signal him to shut up, then looked in the direction of the SWAT team.
Fortunately, the other party did not hear any sound and did not notice them.
John's expression turned grave as he watched them search.
More than seven hours have passed since the farm was attacked yesterday.
The police patrol somehow found out about the mutants on the farm. Dozens of police cars surrounded the farm gates, and hundreds of armed special police officers stormed into the farm.
Upon discovering this, John and his team immediately organized a defense.
However, the disparity in numbers and weaponry was simply too great.
Even if they called all the mutants with offensive capabilities to the battlefield, the firepower of the picket line was so terrifying that they had no chance to show themselves.
After holding out for two hours, almost all the mutants were exhausted, and the farm was doomed to fall.
But at that time, McCain couldn't be contacted, and Logan and the others were still on their way back.
Moreover, John understood that Logan and his team were on a mission that was very far from the shelter, and they would not be able to return in a short time.
Even if they manage to get back, there are only a few of them, and they are no match for the hundreds of special police officers in the patrol team.
In order to reduce casualties, John had no choice but to abandon the shelter and lead everyone to escape the farm and temporarily hide in the mountains.
However, this time the patrol team was clearly not going to let it go.
They were relentlessly pursued like dogs chasing meat, forcing them to break up and flee in small groups.
John is currently leading a small group of people from the shelter, and his mission is to travel to a nearby secluded cave to meet up with Charles and the others.
"Walk."
John noticed that the SWAT officers in the distance hadn't noticed the commotion, so he waved to the people behind him and whispered, "Keep quiet and be careful."
After saying that, he crouched down and carefully moved to the side.
He needed to bypass the disciplinary squad and lead these people out of the encirclement.
Click!
Suddenly, a crisp sound came from behind.
John was startled and turned around sharply. He saw a young mutant walking while holding onto a tree branch, but he accidentally broke the branch!
John was startled and looked sharply in the direction of the disciplinary team.
Meanwhile, the riot police noticed the commotion and instinctively raised their guns to aim at the rioters.
John almost made eye contact with the captain of the disciplinary squad.
next second!
"Where are they? Shoot!"
The squad leader pointed at John's location and roared.
Bang bang bang! !
Intense gunfire erupted instantly, bullets whistling past, snapping branches and scattering grass fragments as John and the others stood in the bushes.
"Damn it!"
John cursed angrily and hurriedly lay down in front of a mound of earth. Bullets almost grazed his scalp, and the sound of bullets flying overhead continued.
He pulled out his pistol and fired back, shouting to the other mutants, "Run!"
The other mutants were lying on the ground, clutching their heads in panic.
Urged on by John, they hurriedly crouched down and fled quickly behind a small mound of earth.
The bullets grazed their backs, and the dirt kicked up by the bullets splattered on them, leaving them covered in dust and dirt.
To cover their retreat, John had to raise his pistol and exchange fire with the SWAT team.
But how could his pistol possibly compete with so many rifles?
The SWAT team's rifle firepower remained formidable, pinning the mutants who tried to escape to the bottom of the embankment. They dared not move rashly, bullets whizzing past their heads, the whistling sound sending shivers down everyone's spines.
At this moment, the special police officers walked up slowly while firing their guns to suppress the crowd.
Hearing the approaching gunfire, John, hiding behind a mound of earth, frowned and pulled a dagger from a holster on his trouser leg, ready to fight.
Among those present, he was the only one with any fighting ability, and only he could attract the attention of these special police officers, allowing these mutants to escape.
"Once they get close, I'll engage them in melee combat. You all take the opportunity to escape!"
John spoke in a low voice to the mutants around him.
Only in close combat will the SWAT officers hesitate to fire for fear of accidentally injuring their teammates, and this will also draw the attention of all the SWAT officers immediately, giving the mutants a chance to escape.
The people next to him were already terrified and cowering with their heads in their hands. Most of these people had little fighting ability and were just working in the fields in the shelter. Their mutant abilities were very useless, and their fighting ability was almost zero. Apart from some accumulated abilities, they were no different from ordinary people.
As the gunfire grew closer, John took two deep breaths, preparing to rush out, when suddenly the gunfire stopped completely.
The sound of a body falling to the ground followed, and the woods fell silent once more.
John was startled and cautiously stuck his head out to check.
All the special police officers in the patrol team were lying dead on the ground, each with a huge hole in their chest, and blood was flowing everywhere.
Behind them, Lorna was walking slowly, a short sword bobbing in the air in her hand.
"Lorna!"
John's eyes lit up with joy, and he stood up to greet her.
Lorna nodded, walked to the front of the group, and asked, "Is everyone alright?"
The mutants shook their heads.
They had taken cover when the gunshots rang out, and nothing happened to them.
Lorna looked at the corpses on the ground and urged, "Alright, we need to get going. We heard gunshots, and those guys will be here soon."
After saying that, he quickly led everyone away. After traveling through the mountains, they arrived at a cave.
A cold, damp wind blew from the huge cave. It was very deep, and apart from a few places near the entrance where sunlight could reach, nothing could be seen inside.
Just then, the sound of footsteps came from inside.
Immediately afterwards, Charles emerged from the shadows, with Laura supporting him beside him.
Inside the cave, quite a few mutants had already arrived, each armed and ready to fight at any moment.
It can be said that almost all the living forces in the shelter are here.
"How's it going outside?"
Upon seeing Lorna and the others, Charles anxiously inquired about their whereabouts.
When the decision was made to evacuate, he was taken here by Laura and was unaware of the situation outside.
Lorna shook her head. "The situation isn't good. Those guys are still searching the mountains. It looks like they're determined to catch us. They won't be leaving anytime soon."
Before she fled, she checked the picket line's movements; this time, their raid on McCain's Sanctuary was a massive undertaking.
Hundreds of special police officers conducted a large-scale search of the mountains, seemingly determined to catch them no matter what. They chased after them relentlessly, almost like madmen.
Those who frequently go on missions and fights are alright, but other ordinary mutants, especially some children, are in a bad situation; they simply cannot withstand such an escape.
For example, right now, after arriving at the cave, apart from John and Lorna, the other mutants who were with them also sat down casually against the rock wall, panting heavily. This escape had been a real physical challenge for them.
"Damn it, McCain and Logan aren't here. They must have found out too. This is the perfect opportunity for them to capture us. They won't leave easily until they catch us."
Charles spoke with a somber expression.
With Logan and McCain gone, the picket line had far fewer people to watch out for. Charles believed their goal was to capture everyone in the shelter, or at least kill them all!
Those guys are the type to not act until they see results, and Charles knew this wouldn't end so easily; they might have to continue their escape.
"Fortunately, the farm is located in the mountains and forests. If it were on the plains, we would have nowhere to hide."
John said with relief.
Their farm was nestled against the mountains, and the special police officers in the patrol team didn't have enough manpower to completely surround and blockade it, which gave them the opportunity to escape.
boom!
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a buzzing sound came from outside.
"Damn it, the riot police are here!"
Sonia, who was responsible for keeping out the wind outside, ran in and shouted in a panic.
In an instant, Charles and the others looked serious.
John drew his pistol, while Lorna held the dagger at her fingertips, glancing warily outside.
The other mutants were also immediately panicked, nervously staring at the cave entrance.
"You all stay hidden in the cave and don't go out. Lorna and I will go check it out first."
John waved to the others, signaling them to be quiet, while he and Lorna carefully walked out of the cave.
As soon as they stepped outside, they saw layers of special police surrounding the cave entrance, all pointing their guns at it. In addition, there was the loud engine noise of a helicopter propeller in the air.
"Damn it, how did we find this place so quickly!"
Lorna, her face grim, followed John and hid behind a boulder, watching the commotion outside, not daring to make a move for the moment.
They are now surrounded by enemies, with very few combat personnel, and Logan's reinforcements cannot arrive so quickly.
For a moment, Lorna didn't know what to do.
"Let everyone prepare to face the enemy."
John's eyes were dark as he gritted his teeth and spoke.
Now, their only option is to resist; otherwise, if they are caught, it will be a fate worse than death!
"Mutants, give up your escape! Lay down your resistance and come back with us now. No one will die!"
The leader of the disciplinary team opened his mouth through a megaphone, and his voice echoed through the cave.
"Damn it!"
Lorna's eyes narrowed, and a surge of green energy rippled at her fingertips. In an instant, a short sword flew out, slicing through the air with a whooshing sound, and hurtled towards the team leader.
However, the team leader was clearly no pushover. When he saw the flying sword hurtling towards him, his pupils contracted sharply, and he turned his head sharply to the side.
The splatter grazed his cheek, leaving a wound, before hitting one of the leader's men behind him.
The subordinate's head was pierced directly by the flying sword, blood gushing out, his eyes filled with disbelief, before he fell heavily to the ground.
After finishing off one person, the short sword flew back to Lorna's palm with a whoosh, still covered in warm blood.
"Next time, you'd better do it just as fast."
Lorna rubbed the short sword against the wall next to her, wiping away the blood.
"Oh shit!"
The team leader flew into a rage, reached up and touched the wound on his cheek, feeling the bright red blood.
He glanced back at his fallen men, his face ashen. "Damn it, beat them! Catch these damned bastards!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the special police officers pulled the trigger.
bang bang bang! ! !
Intense gunfire echoed through the cave, bullets raining down like a downpour.
The mutants inside the cave were not to be outdone, and they took cover behind rocks and fired back.
The cacophony of gunfire echoed through the empty cave, like the roar of a giant beast.
Lorna and John hid behind a large rock, bullets whizzing past their ears.
Amidst the intense gunfire, occasional cries of pain could be heard, indicating that people had been hit, including SWAT officers and mutants.
Watching this unfold, Lorna gritted her teeth, spread her arms, and instantly, a verdant light appeared, her eyes flashing with green light.
A green light suddenly shot out of the cave, directly enveloping all the special police officers.
She planned to disarm all those guys; once she controlled their weapons, she could easily turn the tide of the battle!
But as the green light swept across, Lorna couldn't help but be stunned.
She couldn't detect the slightest trace of metal!
Those SWAT officers seemed to know their capabilities; they replaced all their weapons with special non-metallic products, and even their bullets were made of special plastic!
Moreover, they didn't have any metal parts on their clothes, the daggers were made of high-hardness plastic, and the zippers on their clothes were specially made!
Lorna's expression suddenly darkened, and with no other choice, she could only control the short sword to fly out.
With the two sides locked in a stalemate, the mutants used the advantageous terrain inside the cave to launch a counterattack, giving the guards absolutely no chance to break in.
Seeing that there was no immediate danger, Charles couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, not long after, several soldiers outside suddenly carried a huge cannon and placed it in the direction of the cave entrance.
As the cannon was positioned, one of the soldiers pressed a button in his hand without hesitation.
hum! ! !
In an instant, an invisible sound wave shot out, and a terrifying force swept through the entire cave. The rocks seemed unable to withstand such sound waves, and were shaken and trembled continuously. The surrounding trees also shook constantly, and leaves fell one after another.
The sound waves swept over Lorna, and in an instant, a tearing pain shot through her brain, as if her entire head was being hacked and cleaved by knives and axes, as if countless silver needles were hitting her scalp.
"ah!!!"
The extreme pain caused Lorna to scream uncontrollably, collapsing to the ground in agony and struggling desperately.
Around him, John and the others were also in unbearable pain, clutching their heads and gritting their teeth.
The sound waves lasted for a long time, and everyone was writhing on the ground in pain, clutching their heads. Wails of agony rose and fell, and some people fainted from the unbearable pain.
Seeing this, the team leader waved his hand with great satisfaction, "Alright."
A SWAT officer stopped the sonic weapon.
The team leader said with satisfaction, "Go, put collars on them."
Meanwhile, deep inside the cave, Charles, who had not encountered the sonic attack, managed to walk out with Laura's help.
As soon as they came out, they saw the disciplinary team putting collars on Lorna and the others.
The leader of the disciplinary squad also saw Charles and squinted, saying, "Charles Sivir, so you really are here. That's quite a surprise."
Clearly, the team leader knew the professor's identity.
"Release them."
Charles glanced at the groaning mutants on the ground, but didn't lock his eyes. Instead, he focused his attention back on the leader.
However, his little action was immediately noticed by the team leader, who pointed his pistol at Charles and said, "Professor, don't even think about using your mutant abilities. Don't accidentally lose control and end up harming these children instead of killing us."
Upon hearing this, the professor frowned, but a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, and he dared not make any further rash moves.
Seeing that the professor had given up resistance, the team leader smiled, took out a restraint collar and tossed it to him, "Put it on."
Looking at the restraint collar, Laura narrowed her eyes dangerously, revealing a long-unseen fierce glint in them, and two small steel claws slowly emerged from between her fingers.
"Don't be nervous, kid. It'll be your turn to wear it soon."
The team leader didn't take Laura seriously at all, looking at her little steel claws with a sneer.
"Cough cough cough."
Just then, a coughing sound came from the side.
Lorna lay weakly on the ground, struggling to lift her head to look at Laura, and with her last bit of strength said, "Lura, quick, take the professor away."
After she finished speaking, her eyes dimmed instantly.
In fact, she also understood that even if Laura had the ability to take the professor away, where could they go?
The cave has only one entrance, and that entrance is heavily guarded...
"run?"
The team leader chuckled and pointed his pistol at Lorna. "Professor, don't get any funny ideas. If you don't wear it, you can say goodbye to this girl!"
"Don't!"
Charles hurriedly tried to stop them, knowing these guys were capable of anything.
Then, looking at the collar on the ground, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll wear it!"
He helped Laura up, bent down to pick up the collar from the ground, looked at the restraining collar, struggled to raise it above his head, and was about to put it on.
Boom!
Just then, a loud bang suddenly rang out, and the air inside the cave instantly became incredibly hot.
Immediately afterwards, two blazing beams of light swept out, like two frenzied red dragons sweeping across the cave, the red light constantly echoing at the cave entrance.
boom!
The leader of the group felt a sharp pain all over his body. Just as he was about to look down, his entire body exploded, blood mist flew everywhere, blood splattered out, and his limbs kept breaking apart, as if he had swallowed a bomb.
The explosion didn't end there; his remains were continuously bombarded by the howling red dragon, leaving a large, charred crater in the ground.
"Heat vision?!"
Charles recognized the ability, and his whole being instantly invigorated. "You're back!"
