Kevin’s expression changed drastically; the instant he let go of the man, he used Space Transfer and left his original position.
[Space Transfer Experience +1] Bang, bang.
The sound of bullets hitting the ground rang out, making cold sweat pour down his face.
This wasn’t a movie, TV show, or some ridiculous anti-Japanese war drama; if he were hit by a few bullets, he would immediately collapse, screaming in pain, and wouldn’t be able to move at all.
Thinking this, he ignored the waste of internal energy, instantly flickering several more times.
[Space Transfer Experience +1] [Space Transfer Experience +1] [Space Transfer Experience +1] Taking advantage of the darkness, coupled with the near-instantaneous and unannounced Space Transfer, he successfully reached the car.
Just as he used the remote key to unlock the door and sit down, a string of gunshots rang out right beside his ear.
Bang, bang, bang, accompanied by the sound of the car glass shattering.
“Ugh…” Kevin clutched his left arm and couldn’t help but cry out in pain.
A bullet hole had appeared on his arm, and it was currently bleeding.
Kevin’s face turned pale, and the pain nearly made him faint.
He started the ignition, slammed the accelerator, and the car shot straight onto the road ahead.
At the same time, he squeezed out all the remaining energy in his body, forming a Reflection Shield to block the car window.
[Reflection Shield Experience +1] Whoosh, the sound of bullets tearing through the air rang out!
Next, an astonishing sight appeared!
The space rippled slightly, and the bullets seemed to be swallowed by space, vanishing without a trace!
Simultaneously, Kevin sensed an inexplicable void space.
In that space, the metal bullets were rapidly decomposing into nothingness, and the kinetic energy carried by the bullets was also absorbed by this space.
This power gathered, forming a special blue energy…
At this moment, Kevin had a premonition: it seemed he could reflect this energy back whenever he wanted!
He did not release it immediately, partly because the vehicle had already sped away, and partly because he lacked the mental focus to aim.
At the moment, his entire attention was focused on the intense pain in his arm and the direction the vehicle was heading; he had no mental capacity left to notice anything else.
The car sped forward at an unrestrained velocity!
“Bastard!” Looking at the black vehicle driving away in the distance, Captain Kenny’s expression was extremely grim.
No one had ever escaped the Base for so long—would this time be the exception under his watch?
Thinking of this, he was consumed by rage.
“Chase him!
We must catch that kid!” Just as he ordered the pursuit, Kevin had already driven a great distance away.
Glancing at the activated navigation device in the car, he drove toward the nearest City.
Cold sweat covered his forehead the entire way, and his expression was somewhat dazed.
If it weren’t for his sheer will to live, the lack of other vehicles on the road, and the original owner’s astonishing driving skills, he probably would have crashed already.
“Is that kid not afraid of death?” Looking at the vehicle speeding away in the distance, Kenny was shocked.
Driving that fast, how dare he?
“Catch up to him faster!” he roared.
The soldier driving was drenched in sweat and quickly explained, “We can’t, Officer.
If we go any faster, we’re likely to crash…” “Damn it…” Kenny’s expression was volatile, but he ultimately didn’t order them to speed up.
Compared to capturing that despicable Mutant, his own life was slightly more important.
Thus, while maintaining a safe speed, they could only watch helplessly as the car disappeared into the distance; even the bullets they fired had no effect.
Kenny looked sinister.
“I will catch you.
Don’t think you’re safe just because you ran out of the Base!” What awaited the kid next would be a warrant and their continued pursuit!
That kid would be chased like a rat scurrying across the street!
He didn’t believe that the kid who made him lose face could run far or hide for long.
In one or two days at the earliest, or a few days at the latest, that kid would definitely be caught and brought back!
When that time came, he would certainly give that kid a physical lesson, letting him experience what true misery was!
Thinking this, a smile bloomed on his face.
After chasing for another distance, near the City Slums, they spotted a black vehicle that was on fire.
The young man inside had long since vanished without a trace, and they didn’t know where he had run off to.
After searching for a while longer and failing to find the kid, Kenny drove the vehicle back to the Base, while the others continued the search.
Experiment Base Number 23.
Inside an office.
“What did you say?
You let the research subject escape?” The middle-aged man sitting in the chair, wearing a black and white suit and sporting a slicked-back hairstyle, furrowed his brow.
Looking at Alessandro, the Base Supervisor standing before him, Kenny smiled obsequiously.
“Officer, give me some time, and I promise I’ll bring back Experiment Subject Thirty-seven!” Hearing his words, Alessandro’s expression softened slightly.
“Let’s hope so.” After speaking, he stopped paying attention to the so-called Thirty-seven; after all, he was just a minor, ordinary research subject.
He picked up a stack of newly printed documents on the desk and began reading them casually.
The documents contained information about Experiment Subject Thirty-seven, including an analysis of the abilities the subject had recently displayed.
The two new abilities were highlighted.
Mutant Abilities: Target is suspected of possessing Teleportation ability, capable of instantaneous movement over a short distance based on thought.
Capable of emitting Black Energy Spheres, which are powerful and suspected to contain a decomposition effect.
The specific destructive limit is unknown and requires further testing…
In a short amount of time, the Experiment Base recorded the analysis of Kevin’s abilities.
If the Reflection Shield effect hadn’t been so subtle, coupled with the darkness at the time, perhaps even that ability would have appeared in the documents.
Scanning the approximate data analyzed above, such as the power of the Mutant abilities and the effective range of Teleportation, Alessandro couldn’t help but feel disappointed and regretful.
“What a shame.
In the end, he’s just a failure…” He shook his head.
As an infant genetically cultivated using the genes of the two great Mutants, Magneto and Professor X, Thirty-seven only possessing this much power was, frankly, disappointing to him.
Not to mention that initially, he could only absorb sunlight, which greatly disappointed them and led them to temporarily abandon research on him.
Even now, even though the kid had undergone a secondary awakening of his abilities, they were still mediocre.
What good was Teleportation that seemingly only allowed instantaneous movement of one or two meters, or a Black Energy Sphere with decent destructive power?
Teleportation could only transfer him such a short distance—was it meant for passing through walls?
As for the strange black light sphere, firearms could achieve the same effect, and the result when hitting a person was similar.
What use was it?
Sending out just a few armed individuals would be enough to eliminate this kind of ability user!
