Moreover, he had seen people with similar abilities whose effects far surpassed that of the kid; in comparison, the kid’s ability could only be described as surprisingly weak.
He had simply been lucky enough to awaken two new abilities, especially Teleportation, which had caught them off guard.
Otherwise, if they had known the information beforehand, the kid wouldn’t have even made it out of the Base!
Thinking of this, he shook his head again.
A look of disdain appeared on Alessandro’s face as he murmured, “He can’t compare to Charles and Magneto, and he can’t even compare to Number One and Number Five.
He really is trash.” As he spoke, the expression on his face turned into one of wonder, as if he were thinking of some perfect Creation.
Thinking about those two test subjects, even now, he couldn’t help but be amazed.
Beside him, Captain Kenny couldn’t help but show a look of wonder and a hint of fear on his face.
Super-speed Self-healing, Energy Blasts…
Body Metallicization, Strength Enhancement, Five-sense Enhancement, Pulse Interference…
those two guys are monsters among Mutants!
Thinking of the abilities those two Mutants possessed, he couldn’t help but sigh, “Compared to those two, that kid is indeed much weaker, not worth mentioning.” “Those two are the ones who truly count as Mutants; that kid doesn’t even deserve the title of Mutant…” And in a sense, the numbers also represented a ranking of strength.
This also showed the kid’s weakness; being able to escape from him could only be considered the kid’s good luck.
“Alright.” Alessandro interrupted his continued lamenting and said coldly, “the kid may be unimportant, but we can’t just let him run away like this.” “After all, he’s a test subject.
It’s a bit of a pity to let him escape like this, and it would make the Base lose face.
If it causes some destructive impact on society, that would also be very bad.” “Catch him as soon as possible.
If you really can’t catch him, you can send more people.” “Yes.” Captain Kenny nodded.
While they were talking, inside the Twenty-Three Experimental Base, both ordinary prisoners and Mutant prisoners began to whisper among themselves.
“Did you hear what those prison guards said?
Oh my god!” “Did someone really escape?” For a moment, only envy and jealousy remained on the faces of many prisoners, especially the freckled youth, whose expression was currently dazed.
He couldn’t believe that the person he had recently warned not to run or struggle had actually succeeded in escaping?!
His mood was complex, filled with both resentment and envy.
In a nearby cell, several Black men who had been mocking him earlier were now stunned.
Hearing the name of the person who escaped, they had looks of disbelief on their faces.
How could he have actually escaped?!
“Dave, you said before that if that person escaped, you would…” “Don’t say it, I’m already about to break down.
Why wasn’t it me who got out!” While they were feeling resentful, envious, and jealous, someone began to speak with cold sarcasm.
“Hmph, I don’t think that guy will get very far.
He’ll be caught and brought back to join us soon!” “Right!” “Exactly.
I bet that kid will be back tomor…” While they were making bets, Kevin was currently turning left and right, running towards the corner of a residential yard.
“Huff, huff…” A pale face and heavy breathing were mixed with the sound of his heavy footsteps.
The sky was dim, and heavy rain was pouring down overhead, making him feel even weaker as he was drenched.
Scanning the surroundings cautiously and ensuring he hadn’t been discovered, he found a spot that wouldn’t be easily noticed but could be reached by moonlight and sat down.
Feeling his somewhat numb left arm and the dried-up energy in his body, he looked up at the moon obscured by dark clouds and couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.
It really was a case of misfortunes never coming singly.
Was he really going to fail here?
In a daze, he developed a high fever, and in his slumber, he heard a burst of footsteps approaching from a distance.
Have the searchers arrived?
He tried hard to open his eyes, but he failed, and in his muddled state, he completely blacked out.
When he woke up again, it was already morning.
[Light Energy +1] [Light Energy +1] Feeling the stuffiness on his body, Kevin was somewhat stunned and confused.
“Where am I?” He looked around the room he was in with confusion.
The environment was messy, and the air was mixed with the smell of sweat.
Lifting the blanket and seeing his wounds already bandaged and treated, Kevin looked surprised.
Just as a guess formed in his mind, the owner of the house seemed to hear the movement and knocked before entering.
As the light was turned on, he saw the appearance of the newcomer.
He looked very burly and strong, with a face full of stubble.
He looked somewhat weathered yet handsome, appearing to be a middle-aged man.
“Who are you?” Kevin asked in confusion.
“Did you save me?” He quickly checked his body and found no other abnormalities.
The documents hidden in his pocket were also there, allowing him to breathe a slight sigh of relief.
The burly middle-aged man nodded.
Looking at him lying on the bed, Chris said in a deep voice, “Kid, who are you, and why are you being pursued?” What?
Caught off guard by this question, Kevin’s eyes flickered, not knowing how to answer.
“You’re a Mutant, aren’t you?” “Uh…” An odd look couldn’t help but appear on Kevin’s face.
As if knowing what he wanted to ask, Chris explained, “Those searchers yesterday said a Mutant criminal had escaped nearby…” He didn’t finish his sentence, but both Kevin and he knew what it meant.
After a moment of silence, Kevin asked in confusion, “Then why did you save me?” “Knowing I’m a Mutant, yet…” He was very clear about the situation here.
It was already good if ordinary people didn’t reject Mutants; in severe cases, even if they just went to a hospital, as long as their Mutant identity was discovered, they could be reported and taken away.
The burly middle-aged man said solemnly, “Because I am also a Mutant.” He held out both hands, and a red light began to emanate from them.
A look of surprise appeared in Kevin’s eyes.
In his surprise, he didn’t notice that the burly middle-aged man’s gaze towards him was very deep.
The reason he helped this child was naturally not as simple as he said; it wasn’t just because of the other’s status as a Mutant.
What he didn’t tell the boy was that while he was helping him clean up earlier, he had accidentally seen that stack of data reports in his pocket.
Naturally, he knew the boy’s identity.
A child who actually possesses the genes of Magneto and Charles?
In that case, this kid can also be considered Magneto’s child?
As a Mutant, he was naturally very familiar with those two.
He had even once been a member of Magneto’s Brotherhood of Mutants, only leaving because of certain matters.
He was pondering whether he should tell Magneto about this.
If Magneto found out he had a child, what kind of expression would he have?
It’s just that this youth’s Mutant ability is a bit weak, and his body is also…
