Chapter 466

In just half a month, the total number of people on Void Island has increased again, now reaching over a thousand, and there are all kinds of ability users, useful and useless, in a wide variety.

"Su Quan... Su Quan... Can you hear me? It's Lauren! Please... please help us!"

In the darkness, a series of calls interrupted Su Quan's feigned sleep.

Lauren's plea for help?

Su Quan's lips curled up slightly as he sensed Lauren's situation.

The outlook is not optimistic.

Although their family has been out of the main storyline for some time now—well, the original main storyline was already in disarray after Su Quan's intervention.

However, as the main characters in this world's storyline, it's impossible for them to truly transcend the world and stay away from it.

After arriving in Mexico, the family initially had a relatively stable life, although life was somewhat difficult. They lived in constant fear of having their identities exposed or being arrested, but they gradually settled down.

However, this period of good fortune was short-lived. In a chaotic place like Mexico, not only wanted fugitives but also ordinary people would encounter all sorts of troubles.

Trouble was looming, and there was no escaping it. Lauren and Andy, siblings, inevitably used their powers, which exposed their Mutants identities, forcing them to once again live a life of hiding and displacement.

If that were all, Lauren wouldn't have asked Su Quan for help. The main reason was that the Trask Industries discovered their family's identities, especially the Fenris Twins' identities, and then began a vigorous manhunt for them, forcing them to flee again.

Lauren sought help at this point because they were at their wits' end; agents from the Trask Industries and the Sentinel Special Services Bureau had cornered them in a dead end.

With Lauren and Andy's abilities, they originally had a chance to break through, but some unexpected events occurred. Their father, Reed, experienced various pressures during this period, causing his suppressed mutant abilities to reappear.

Reed had no idea he was Mutants, nor did he ever think he would have mutant abilities. Coupled with the fact that he was being captured and facing a life-or-death situation, various factors caused his abilities to erupt and his energy to surge rapidly.

And then... it exploded!

You think that's all?

No, not yet, things are about to get even worse.

Because she was concerned about Reed's condition, Caitlin didn't have time to dodge when Reed self-destructed. Although Lauren sensed something was wrong and immediately created an invisible barrier, she was still a step too late.

Caitlin was blown to death. Lauren's invisible barrier only lasted a few seconds before shattering, and she and Andy were also blasted away.

Andy fainted immediately after landing, while Lauren was in slightly better condition, but she was also seriously injured.

Behind her were Andy, who had fainted on the ground, and the high wall of the dead end; in front of her were armed agents closing in.

There was an invisible barrier between her and the agents, which temporarily ensured her safety, but only temporarily!

She can't keep creating an invisible barrier forever.

With no way out in sight, the only light she could think of in despair was Su Quan!

"That's terrible!"

"Could this be considered the revenge of the universe's consciousness, or the butterfly effect of the universe's self-correction?"

After learning about Lauren's situation, Su Quan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Of course, there is no such thing as cosmic consciousness in this world, so the current fate of Lauren and her family is quite logical.

The fact that Lauren and Andy are the new generation of Fenris Twins can't be kept secret any longer. The Sentinel Special Services Bureau and the Trask Industries will definitely come looking for them; it's just a matter of time.

Reed's abilities will inevitably manifest, after all, so many years have passed, the serum's effects have long since worn off, and coupled with the mental stress caused by the series of changes, it's normal for his abilities to show.

He was completely unaware of his own abilities, and the power he had suppressed for so many years was extremely violent. Moreover, the power itself was of this type, so it was reasonable for him to self-destruct.

Needless to say, Caitlin's death was also a result of the fact that everyone was close to each other on the run, and they didn't know that Reed had the ability or that Reed would self-destruct. Wasn't it normal for them to be affected?

On the contrary, when Reed's abilities manifest in the TV series, he destroys everything he touches and has no control over it, but he is always fine when he comes into contact with Caitlin or other people.

Is it really that much of a coincidence?

Is it metaphysics?

Reed's self-destruction and Caitlin's subsequent involvement are exactly what's happening now!

On the other hand, the current outcome is a bit too realistic.

Although the family in the TV series failed to smuggle themselves into Mexico, they were all alive and well until the finale.

What about now?

Reed is dead, Caitlin is dead, and if I don't intervene, Lauren and Andy will definitely be arrested. It's like the whole family has been wiped out.

This is what they call "misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise," right?

Mexico.

A dead end.

Amidst the continuous gunfire, the invisible wall that Lauren had erected trembled slightly and finally shattered!

"Bang!"

The invisible wall shattered, and Lauren involuntarily leaned backward.

At the same time, a bullet flew straight toward Lauren.

These are specially designed braking bullets that will not cause significant harm to the body, but once hit, the person will lose the ability to move for a certain period of time.

Most of the time, the Sentinel Special Services Bureau uses this type of bullet when capturing Mutants!

Despair filled Lauren's heart. She could almost feel the bullets slowly flying toward her, but she was powerless to stop them and could only watch helplessly as they struck her.

"No!!!"

Lauren let out a mournful roar of despair and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The pain of being shot did not come as expected. Lauren, who had fallen to the ground, was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously looked up at the figure blocking her way and shouted excitedly.

"Su Quan!"

"You really came!"

Su Quan turned to look at her and said with a light laugh, "Go check on Andy's condition, leave the rest to me."

"Good."

Lauren nodded with a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to check on Andy's condition.

Su Quan turned around, and the agent who was about to charge forward with a gun instinctively stopped.

No instructions were needed; their movements were perfectly synchronized.

The name Su Quan was so famous that it was a household name for agents of their caliber; comparing him to Zhang Liao who could stop a child from crying was no exaggeration.

With the mission nearing completion, Su Quan's interference did not make the agents feel angry or resentful; instead, they secretly cursed their bad luck.

Even if they had caught Lauren and Andy, it wouldn't have mattered. Su Quan's arrival meant that no matter how far the mission progressed, even if the mission was already completed, it would still fail.

As mentioned above, if you encounter Su Quan, you won't be punished even if you abandon the mission, so...

"Abandon the mission."

"Withdraw!"

Before Su Quan could even speak, the team leader abandoned the mission. The team members didn't hesitate at all; they put away their guns, turned around, and ran away.

There was no cover, no rearguard action, none of it was needed.

If Su Quan wanted to kill them, even if they were prepared, it wouldn't matter. Rather than going through the motions, they might as well hurry up and run away.

In just over ten seconds, the previously crowded dead end was completely cleared. The agents' decisiveness left Su Quan dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"I didn't expect you to be so clever..."

Well, since they know what's good for them, Su Quan doesn't intend to go all the way and kill them all. After all, he's not a bloodthirsty person.

"How is Andy?" Su Quan turned to Lauren and asked.

Lauren was about to speak when she heard Andy groan and slowly open his eyes.

"Lauren, Su... Su Quan?" Andy's eyes widened in surprise, then he exclaimed, "You saved us?"

Su Quan nodded. "I only saved you..."

Andy's expression darkened, and Lauren's eyes began to redden.

With the crisis over, the siblings' grief naturally welled up again.

They were saved, but their parents were already dead...

Su Quan didn't comfort them. After all, they had chosen their own path. Reed didn't want to get involved with the underground organization and chose to smuggle his family to Mexico, so he naturally had to bear the consequences himself.

The two siblings grieved for a while before pulling themselves together. It wasn't that they were Coldblood or indifferent, but rather that what had happened was already done, and no amount of grief could change anything.

They're still alive, so they have to keep looking forward.

The word "growth" doesn't even have a radical. You'll find that growing up is lonely, right?

After experiencing all sorts of things, the two siblings had no choice but to grow up, even if they didn't want to.

Wiping away their tears and gritting their teeth, the siblings collected their mother's body. As for their father's body, it had already vanished with the wind and could not be found at all.

"I want to bury my mother, can... can you help us?" Lauren approached Su Quan with red eyes.

The siblings were destitute and wanted criminals; they had no choice but to Su Quan for help to bury their mother.
