Luo Gen and the Others Were Stunned

Luo Gen and the Others Were Stunned

The gunfire briefly ceased.

At that moment, whether they were soldiers firing their weapons, assisting police officers, Captain George, or the spectators, all eyes turned in that direction.

The approaching youth wore a white short-sleeved shirt and brown shorts. He had short brown hair and azure eyes.

Though most of his face was concealed by a mask, his handsomeness could still faintly be seen.

"Is this the mutant fugitive?"

"He looks so young. Can he really have done all those things?"

"I was thinking the same thing. He doesn't look capable of that."

The spectators who had not watched the video and only knew bits and pieces began discussing it.

In front of the television, Professor X Charles and Magneto watched the handsome youth emerge. They vaguely felt that his features looked familiar, but they could not say why.

Although this was not the first time they had felt this way, neither gave it much thought, assuming it was merely an illusion.

Regardless of what they thought, however, the youth's identity as a mutant made them worry for him.

"Why did you come out?"

While keeping a wary eye on the Sentry Spider, Wolverine Luo Gen frowned and asked.

Otto and the other two beside him were also somewhat resentful. He knew these people were here to capture him, so why had he not run? With his Teleportation ability, he should have been able to leave. Staying behind would not only be of no help—it might even drag them down! "You should leave. I'll handle this," Su Yao said. "If you keep fighting, you'll be in danger."

Wolverine Luo Gen's brow furrowed even deeper.

"Listen, kid. Don't try to act tough. You should leave obediently and let us handle this!"

Although he was somewhat surprised that the kid had apparently used some method earlier to destroy one of the mechanical spider's legs, he still did not believe the kid could face so many fully armed people.

So at that moment, he reminded him, hoping he would leave while Luo Gen stayed behind to buy them some time.

Just then, another voice rang out.

"He's right. You should leave."

Huh? In an instant, countless gazes turned toward the source of the voice.

A burly man wearing a black hood strode quickly toward them.

"Hurry and go. I'll hold them off for you!" the burly man said solemnly.

Looking at Su Yao before him, he sighed inwardly.

His impression of the youth was still stuck at their first encounter.

In his eyes, the youth's ability might be enough to deal with a dozen or so people, but facing dozens of fully armed soldiers would be difficult.

That was why he, too, was urging him to leave.

Wolverine Luo Gen and the other two were wary at first, then relaxed.

Was he here to help? Noticing the confirming looks they cast his way, Su Yao nodded.

Although Chris had hidden his face beneath a black hood, Su Yao still recognized him from his build and voice.

At that moment, Captain George's icy voice came from afar.

"Not one of you is leaving today!"

At his command, the soldiers began firing again.

Red Light surged from Chris's body, forming an energy shield that blocked the tranquilizer darts. Then he pulled a pistol from his waist and began firing without another word.

Bang! Bang! The soldiers and the group clashed.

Unfortunately, although they were all quite powerful, they were at a disadvantage against the Sentinel Robots and the hard-to-defend-against Tranquilizer Guns.

Valentine was even struck by a tranquilizer dart and soon collapsed limply to the ground! The viewers watching the livestream began discussing it with relish.

"These mutants are all pretty strong, but facing so many soldiers head-on, they clearly aren't a match for them anymore."

"Haha... they're about to lose. Once they do, that mutant kid hiding in the back won't be able to escape either!"

Captain George and Captain Kenny watched the scene with satisfied smiles on their faces.

"This is what happens when you oppose us!" Captain George sneered. "None of you will escape today!"

As he spoke, he turned and gave a signal to someone nearby.

Receiving the signal, that soldier immediately slipped quietly out of the encirclement.

Suddenly, the sharp crack of a sniper rifle rang through the area.

Not good! Luo Gen and the others' expressions changed in unison, and they immediately turned to look toward the youth.

At that moment, countless viewers watching the livestream, as well as those at the scene, all looked over as well.

Then, they froze in shock.

The youth they thought had been hit was still standing there completely unharmed, without the slightest sign of being shot? How was that possible...

Had everyone guessed wrong? Was the bullet not fired at the youth? Until they saw the hidden Sniper fire again.

Bang! The bullet whistled through the air, closing in on its target at an astonishing speed.

At that moment, countless eyes focused on the youth.

Then, they were stunned.

The fired bullet had suddenly vanished?!

While they were confused and shocked, Su Yao, the sniper's target, sighed in relief.

Ever since he had stepped out, he had tried placing two Reflection Shields in front of himself, directly blocking the space ahead of him. When the sniper bullet came flying over, it was instantly swallowed into the void by the Reflection Shields.

The spectators were bewildered.

"Where did the bullet go?"

"Did he miss?"

As everyone wondered, Su Yao said coldly, "Take it back!"

Before the bullet frozen in the void could be broken down, Su Yao tried releasing it.

With a whoosh, the frozen sniper bullet instantly reappeared, then shot toward the distant sniper at the same speed.

"What?!"

"Ah!"

The sniper let out a scream as the bullet struck him squarely in the chest.

Blood sprayed everywhere. Clutching his chest, he fell to the ground, barely alive and seemingly on the verge of death. It was unknown whether the bullet had hit his heart.

At that moment, both the sniper and everyone else were filled with shock.

"What kind of superpower is that?"

"Reflecting bullets?"

While the spectators were confused, Captain George and Captain Kenny in the distance both changed expressions, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"Number Thirty-Seven was hiding another ability?"

After his astonishment, Captain George hurriedly ordered the soldiers, "Forget those mutants! All of you, attack that mutant fugitive!"

"Yes!"

In an instant, tranquilizer darts and bullets shot rapidly toward Su Yao.

Reflection Shield Experience +1

Reflection Shield Experience +1

One bullet and tranquilizer dart after another suddenly vanished, then suddenly reappeared.

"Ah..."

Despite being prepared, Captain George and the others were still caught off guard by the barrage of bullets and tranquilizer darts.

For a time, screams rang out continuously.

Wolverine Luo Gen and the others stood to one side, all staring in stunned disbelief.
