In the lush mountain forest, several figures moved swiftly through it.
The leader was John. His face was obviously not very good at this time. He looked very tired and had some fresh bruises on his face.
Behind him, there were several people from the shelter following closely.
Everyone ran away nervously, looking around with vigilant eyes, worried that the picket special police might appear at any time.
Suddenly, John stopped and squatted in front.
"Shhh."
He blew lightly and raised his hand to signal the people behind him to stop.
"There's someone in front."
John pointed to a big tree not far ahead.
I saw a heavily armed SWAT team sweeping around, with rifles in their hands pulling at the surrounding haystacks where people might be hiding. They looked up at the trees above their heads and stared deep into the forest to see if there was any unusual movement.
"Damn it!"
Suddenly someone in the team cursed and looked at the sweeping picket special police with cold eyes, "How long will these guys chase us? Are they really going to drive us all away?"
"Shh!"
John blew in a panic to signal him to shut up, and then looked in the direction of the group of special police officers.
Fortunately, the other party didn't hear any sound and didn't notice them.
Watching their search, John looked solemn.
More than seven hours have passed since the farm was attacked yesterday.
The picket team didn't know how they learned about the mutants on the farm. Dozens of police cars surrounded the farm gate, and hundreds of picket team SWAT officers rushed into the farm in full gear.
After John and others found out, they immediately organized a defense.
But the gap in numbers and weapons is too great.
Even if they called all mutants with offensive capabilities to fight on the battlefield, the firepower of the pickets was so terrifying that they had no chance to show up.
After holding on for two hours, almost all the mutants' physical strength was exhausted, and the fall of the farm was a foregone conclusion.
But it happened that Maika couldn't be contacted at that time, and Logan and the others were still on their way back.
And John understood that the mission location of Logan's group was very far away from the shelter, and they would not be able to get back in a short time.
Even if they rush back, there are only a few of them, and they are no match for the hundreds of picket special police officers.
In order to reduce casualties, John had no choice but to voluntarily abandon the shelter, escape from the farm with everyone, and temporarily hide in the mountains.
But this time the pickets obviously refused to give up.
They were entangled one by one like dogs chasing meat, and they were forced to break up into pieces and escape.
Now John is leading a small group of people in the shelter, and his current mission is to meet Charles and the others in a nearby hidden cave.
"Walk."
John looked at the SWAT officers in the distance and did not notice the movement here, so he waved to the people behind him and whispered: "Keep quiet and be careful."
After saying that, he walked away cautiously to the side.
He had to bypass the pickets and lead these people out of the encirclement.
Click!
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound behind him.
John was startled and turned around to look around. He saw a young mutant walking on the branch next to him, but he accidentally broke the branch!
John looked startled and looked sharply in the direction of the pickets.
The members of the picket team also noticed the movement here and subconsciously raised their guns and aimed at them.
John almost looked at the captain of the picket team.
The next second!
"Where are they? Shoot!"
The squad leader pointed at Dan where John was and yelled.
Bang bang bang! !
Fierce gunshots were heard instantly, and bullets whizzed past, breaking the branches and leaves of the grass where John and others were, and causing pieces of grass to fly.
"Damn it!"
John cursed angrily and hurriedly lay down in front of a mound. The bullet almost passed by his scalp, and the sound of bullets flying above his head kept coming.
He pulled out his pistol and fought back, shouting at the other mutants, "Go!"
The other mutants were lying on the ground, holding their heads in panic.
Under John's urging, everyone hurriedly hid behind a small mound of soil and fled quickly.
The bullets almost passed by their backs, and the soil kicked up by the bullets sprinkled on them, and they were all beaten into disgrace.
In order to cover their retreat, John had to raise his pistol and shoot at the picket SWAT police.
But how can his pistol be a match for so many rifles?
The rifle firepower of the special police was still very strong. The mutants who wanted to escape were suppressed at the bottom of the slope. They did not dare to move randomly. The bullets almost grazed their heads. The sound of whizzing bullets scared everyone. trembling.
At this time, the special police officers walked up while shooting to suppress the situation.
Listening to the approaching gunshots, John, who was hiding behind the mound, frowned and took out a dagger from the weapon holster on his trouser leg to prepare to meet the enemy.
Among the people present, he was the only one with a certain fighting ability, and only he could attract the attention of these special police officers and allow these mutants to escape.
"When they get close later, I will fight with them in close combat. You take the opportunity and leave as soon as possible!"
John spoke in a low voice to the mutants around him.
Only in close combat, those special police officers would worry about bullets accidentally injuring their teammates and would not fire. They could also attract the attention of all special police officers immediately, and these mutants would have a chance to escape.
Several people next to him were already cowering in fear. Most of these people had little fighting ability. They only worked in the fields in the shelter. Their mutant abilities were useless and their fighting ability was almost zero. Except for some accumulated abilities. , no different from ordinary people.
Listening to the gunshots that were getting closer and closer, John took two deep breaths and was about to rush out when suddenly all the gunfire stopped.
The sound of a human body falling to the ground was heard, and the woods returned to silence again.
John was stunned and carefully stretched his head out to check.
All the special policemen on the picket team fell to the ground and died. There was a huge blood hole in each person's chest, and blood flowed all over the floor.
Behind them, Lorna was walking slowly, with a short sword dancing in the air in her palm.
"Lorna!"
John's eyes were filled with joy, and he stood up to greet her.
Lorna nodded, walked to everyone and asked, "Is everything okay?"
The mutants shook their heads.
They hid just now when the gunfire rang out, and nothing happened.
Lorna looked at the corpse on the ground and urged: "Okay, we have to leave quickly. There are gunshots, and those guys will be here soon."
After saying that, he quickly led everyone away. After traveling all the way, several people came to a cave.
Waves of cold wind blew out of the huge cave, which was very deep. Except for some places at the entrance that could be illuminated by the sun, nothing could be seen inside.
At this time, a burst of footsteps came from it.
Immediately afterwards, Charles' figure appeared from the shadows, with Laura supporting him beside him.
In the cave, many mutants have already arrived, each with weapons in hand, ready to fight at any time.
It can be said that basically all the active forces in the shelter are here.
"How's it going outside?"
After Charles saw Lorna and the others, he asked anxiously.
When he decided to evacuate, he was led by Laura to hide here, and he didn't know the situation outside.
Lorna shook her head, "The situation is not good. Those guys are still searching the mountain. It seems they are determined to catch us. Will they leave soon?"
She checked the movements of the pickets before fleeing. This time they laid a heavy blow on the Maika Sanctuary.
Hundreds of picket teams and special police officers searched the mountain on a large scale. There was a sense that they would not stop until they were caught. They chased them all the way, just like crazy.
Those of them who often go on missions to fight are okay, but other ordinary mutants, especially some children, are in trouble. They can't stand such an escape.
Just like now, after arriving in the cave, except for John and Lorna, the other mutants following them sat down casually against the rock wall, panting out of breath. The escape this way was really difficult for them. Physical challenge.
"Damn it, Maika and Logan are not here. They must also know the news. For them, now is the perfect opportunity to capture us. They will not leave easily before they capture us."
Charles spoke with gloomy eyes.
Without Logan and Micah, these pickets have a lot less to watch out for. Charles believes that their goal is to catch everyone in the shelter, and even if they can't, they will kill them all!
Those guys are the masters who don't let go of the eagle before they see the rabbit. Charles knows that this matter will not end so easily, and they may have to continue to escape.
"Fortunately, the farm is in the mountains and forests. If it were on the plains, we wouldn't have anywhere to hide."
John said happily. Their farm was backed by mountains and forests, and the special police on the picket team did not have that much manpower to complete a complete siege and blockade, which gave them a chance to escape.
Bang!
However, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a buzzing sound from outside.
"Damn it, the pickets are coming!"
Sonia, who was responsible for protecting the outside from the wind, ran in and shouted in panic.
For a moment, Charles and others looked solemn.
John took out his pistol, and Lorna held the dagger at her fingertips, looking outside warily.
The rest of the mutants suddenly panicked and looked nervously outside the cave entrance.
"You guys hide in the cave and don't go out. Lorna and I will go take a look first."
John waved his hands to everyone to signal them to be silent, and he and Lorna carefully walked out of the cave entrance.
As soon as they went out, they saw the SWAT police surrounding them, all of them pointing their guns at the entrance of the cave. In addition, there was the loud sound of helicopter propellers in the air.
"Damn it, how did you find this so quickly!"
Lorna had a sullen face and followed John to hide behind a boulder, watching the movement outside and not daring to act rashly for a moment.
Now being besieged on all sides, their combat personnel are very few, and Logan and his support forces cannot arrive so quickly.
For a moment, Lorna didn't know what to do.
"Let everyone prepare to meet the enemy."
John's eyes were gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and spoke.
Now, the only way they have left is to resist, otherwise once they are caught, life will be worse than death!
"Mutants, give up your escape. Now put down your resistance and go back with us. No one will die!"
The leader of the picket team held up a loudspeaker and spoke, and his voice echoed in the cave.
"Damn it!"
Lorna's eyes sank, and a green energy rippled at her fingertips. The dagger flew out instantly, cutting through the air with bursts of wind, and flew towards the leader.
However, the team leader was obviously not a loser. When he saw the flying sword coming at a high speed, his pupils shrank and he turned his head sharply.
The splash cut his cheek, leaving a wound and hitting one of the men behind the leader.
The man's head was directly penetrated by the flying sword, blood spurted out, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he fell heavily to the ground.
After finishing one person, the dagger flew back to Lorna's hand with a whizz, with warm blood still attached to the sword.
"Next time, you'd better get more so quickly."
Lorna controlled the dagger and rubbed it against the wall next to her, rubbing away the bloodshot threads.
"Oh shit!"
The team leader was furious. He reached out and touched the wound on his cheek and felt the bright red blood.
He looked back at his fallen men, his face as gloomy as water, "Damn it, hit me, grab these damn things!"
As soon as his voice fell, the special police officer on the picket team immediately pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang! ! !
Fierce gunshots echoed in the cave, and bullets rained down like rain.
The mutants in the cave were not to be outdone. They hid behind rocks and fired back.
The noisy gunshots rippled melodiously in the empty cave, as if a giant beast was roaring.
Lorna and John hid behind a large rock, the bullets flying almost close to their ears.
Listening to the fierce gunfire, there were also bursts of wailing from time to time. This was because someone had been hit, including special police officers and mutants.
Looking at this scene, Lorna gritted her teeth and opened her hands. In an instant, emerald green light appeared, and green light flashed in her eyes.
The green light rushed out of the cave, directly covering all the special police officers.
She plans to disarm all those guys. As long as she can control their firearms, she can easily turn defeat into victory!
But as the green light swept across, Lorna couldn't help but be stunned.
She didn't sense any trace of metal!
Those special police officers seemed to know their abilities. All weapons were replaced with special non-metallic products, and even the bullets were made of special plastic!
Moreover, there is no metal at all on them, the daggers are made of high-hardness plastic, and the zippers on the top and bottom of their clothes are all specially made!
Lorna's expression suddenly sank, and in desperation, she could only control the dagger to fly out.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and the mutants relied on the favorable terrain in the cave to fight back. The pickets had no chance to rush in.
After seeing that there was no danger in a short period of time, Charles couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
However, not long after, a few soldiers outside suddenly carried a huge cannon and placed it in the direction of the cave entrance.
As the muzzle was placed, one of the soldiers pressed a button in his hand without hesitation.
Buzz! ! !
In an instant, invisible sound waves shot out fiercely, and a terrifying force swept through the entire cave. The rocks seemed to be unable to withstand such sound waves, and were shaken to the point of trembling. The surrounding trees were also shaking, and leaves fell one after another.
The sound waves swept through Lorna's body, and for a moment, the pain of brain tearing was felt. It was as if the whole head was chopped with a knife and an axe, and it was as painful as countless silver needles hitting the scalp of the brain.
"ah!!!"
The extreme pain made Lorna scream uncontrollably, and she fell to the ground struggling in pain.
Around him, John and the others were also in agony, clutching their heads and gnashing their teeth.
The sound waves lasted for a long time, and everyone covered their heads and rolled in pain on the ground, wailing one after another, and some people fainted because they couldn't bear the pain.
After seeing this scene, the team leader waved his hand with great satisfaction, "Okay."
A SWAT officer stopped the sonic weapon.
The team leader said with satisfaction: "Go and put collars on them."
At the same time, deep inside the cave, Charles, who did not encounter the sonic attack, walked out with difficulty with the help of Laura.
As soon as I came out, I saw the pickets putting collars on Lorna and others.
The leader of the picket team also saw Charles, squinted his eyes and said: "Charles Sivier, it turns out you are really here. It really surprises me."
It was obvious that the leader knew the professor's identity.
"Let them go."
Charles looked at the wailing mutants on the ground without locking his eyes. He returned his gaze to the leader and quietly focused his attention.
However, his little move was instantly noticed by the team leader, who raised his pistol and pointed it at Charles, "Professor, don't think about using mutant abilities, don't accidentally lose control, and instead of killing us, you will harm all these children. "
When the professor heard this, his brows knitted together, but a little worry flashed in his eyes, and he did not dare to act rashly.
Seeing the professor put down his resistance, the team leader smiled, took out a restraining collar and threw it on, "Put it on him."
Looking at the restraining collar, Laura narrowed her eyes dangerously. The fierce light in her eyes that had not been seen for a long time was revealed, and two small steel claws slowly came out from between her fingers.
"Kid, don't be nervous, it will be your turn to wear it later."
The team leader didn't take Laura seriously at all, and looked at Laura's small steel claws with a sneer on his face.
"Cough cough cough."
At this time, there was a cough from the side.
Lorna lay weakly on the ground, struggled to look up at Laura, and used her last bit of strength to say: "Laura, quickly, take the professor away."
After saying that, her eyes dimmed instantly.
In fact, she also understood that even if Laura had the ability to run with the professor, where could she run?
There is only one entrance and exit to the cave, and this entrance is heavily guarded...
"run?"
The leader chuckled and pointed the pistol at Lorna, "Professor, don't be too petty. If you don't wear it anymore, then say goodbye to this girl!"
"Don't!"
Charles hurriedly stopped him. He knew these guys could do anything.
Then he looked at the collar on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll wear it!"
He supported Laura, bent down to pick up the collar on the ground, looked at the restraining collar, struggled to lift it above his head, and was about to put it on.
Boom!
At this moment, a shout of invitation suddenly came, and the air in the cave instantly became extremely hot.
Immediately afterwards, two blazing beams of light swept out, like two manic red dragons sweeping across the cave. The red light continued to echo at the entrance of the cave.
Bang!
The leader felt a sharp pain in his body. Just when he was about to look down, his whole body exploded instantly, blood mist flew away, blood spurted out, and his limbs continued to shatter, as if he had swallowed an explosive.
And it was not over even after the explosion. His remains were continuously bombarded by the roaring red dragon, leaving a large charred pit on the ground.
"Heat vision?!"
Charles recognized this ability, and his whole body was instantly cheered, "He's back!"
