Alessandro's Shock

Alessandro's Shock

Thinking of Sunshine Pervades, Su Yao could not help shaking his head.

After sensing the remaining energy in his body, he knew it was impossible to use it.

After fighting for so long, setting aside the energy spent on Space Teleportation, just killing those dozen or so people had left him with little energy.

After all, the energy in his body was only enough to use his abilities a little over forty times.

Not to mention that it was nighttime, making Sunshine Pervades even harder to cast. Before he could even use it, he might be drained into a dried corpse.

Even if he did cast it, he would not be able to take all those people out at once.

Apparently to guard against his Black Particle, those people had all spread out. Sunshine Pervades had a limited range, so it was impossible to wipe them out in one go.

If he exhausted all the energy in his body, he would become a lamb waiting for slaughter.

"If only I had enough Light Energy, or Sunshine Pervades were Level 2!"

Su Yao sighed inwardly.

After sensing the energy he had left and noticing that Luo Gen and the others had already gone, he also decided to leave.

Before leaving, he sent two Black Particles at the Sentry Spiders nearby, completely destroying them so they could not track him.

After estimating the remaining Light Energy in his body, he fired another Black Particle at someone. A scream immediately rang out.

Before the furious Captain George and the others could do anything, Su Yao's figure blurred and vanished from where he stood, appearing ten meters away.

After flashing several more times, he disappeared completely from everyone's sight.

George and Kenny both wore gloomy expressions. After hesitating for a while, they chose not to order a pursuit.

"Fuck!" Captain Kenny gritted his teeth.

That brat had escaped again! If that brat had not hidden more abilities, how could he possibly have gotten away this time? Even Kenny could not help feeling astonished when he thought of those hidden abilities.

"Damn it, does that brat have this many abilities?" he cursed.

Captain George beside him felt much the same. He could not understand why that brat was so different, possessing so many Mutant Abilities...

"I think that brat should be at his limit this time!" George forced out a strained smile.

Captain Kenny hesitated at his words, but could only nod and sigh. "We failed again. Let's think about how to explain this to Officer Alessandro. Sigh."

Captain George's expression was rather ugly.

They could not really be blamed, could they? That kid's strength had changed again! Just then, they heard Yi Li Na comforting the viewers nearby.

"Dear viewers, it seems our capture operation has failed this time, but do not be discouraged. That mutant fugitive will not get away."

"After all, he is only one person. How can he stand against the authorities?"

"It will not be long before he is caught!"

Yi Li Na wore a sweet smile as she did her best to soothe the audience watching the livestream.

The viewers, who had become somewhat afraid of mutants after that night, relaxed slightly.

That was right. That mutant was powerful, but how could he possibly compare to the government? The military simply had not been deployed to surround and eliminate him, or he would have been caught long ago! As many people thought this, their expressions gradually relaxed.

Listening to Yi Li Na comfort the viewers, Captain George and Captain Kenny felt even worse.

What had been meant as a proper operation to capture a mutant and show everyone that mutants were not so frightening had turned into this? Was this not openly telling everyone that mutants were terrifying? That they could not defeat mutants? Fortunately, Yi Li Na's final words restored some of their dignity, and they also felt she had a point.

After all, how could one person escape their pursuit? Even if they could not catch him now, he would be caught sooner or later! Some mutants watching the livestream had been happy that their fellow mutant escaped, but their hearts sank upon hearing this.

Professor X and Magneto each had different thoughts.

Professor X wondered whether he could find that child and hide him away to avoid the limelight for now, while Magneto was considering going to meet him and teaching ordinary humans a lesson in the process!...

After escaping that area, Su Yao relaxed slightly.

"I'll let you go this time!"

Thinking of those two leaders, a dark glint flashed in his eyes.

Then, sensing the nearly depleted Light Energy in his body, helplessness appeared on his face.

The Light Energy in his body was still insufficient. Otherwise, he could have completely dealt with those people.

"Making them suffer such heavy losses this time should buy me some time to develop..."

Anticipation filled Su Yao's eyes. He could not wait for daybreak so he could continue training his abilities and try to raise Sunshine Pervades to Level 2, or Black Particle and his other abilities to Level 3! If he encountered those people again then, he would not even need to run. He could easily kill them! Just as he was filled with anticipation, Su Yao paused slightly, thinking of Luo Gen and the others who had escaped earlier.

"Where did they escape to?"

After thinking for a long while, he decided to head in the direction of Chris's home and take a look.

Nearly forty minutes later, he heard someone calling from nearby.

"Hey, Kevin, over here!"

Otto shouted from afar.

Su Yao focused his eyes and saw a man waving at him in the distance. Luo Gen and the others were there too.

Dragging his exhausted body along, Su Yao quickly ran over.

"Follow me!"

Otto and the others led him farther and farther from the main streets, bringing him near a sewer manhole.

Otto opened the cover and climbed down first, followed by Luo Gen and the others.

Su Yao hesitated briefly, then put the cover back in place and slowly climbed down after them.

After descending only a short distance, he was surprised to find a hidden space below.

In the dark, damp environment, a simple shelter had been built nearby.

Otto glanced at Valentine and said, "He and I built this before. It was originally meant to give us somewhere to stay when we were running away..."

He paused, then smiled helplessly. "But now it is more or less the same. It happens to come in handy."

After introducing the place, everyone, including Otto, stared at Su Yao with astonishment in their eyes.

"Who exactly are you?" Valentine, who had recovered some sensation, could not help asking.

Wolverine Luo Gen looked amazed.

Otto and Chris beside him wore much the same expressions, looking at him strangely.

Su Yao did not know how to answer.

At that moment, Wolverine Luo Gen said speechlessly, "Kid, you really do have a lot of abilities."

"You said you could only teleport instantly?"

He looked at Su Yao with a strange gaze.

Su Yao felt a little embarrassed and barely explained, "I never said I could only teleport instantly. I just said I could teleport instantly..."

Although he explained himself, Luo Gen and the others still looked at him as if he were a monster.

Especially Luo Gen, Otto, and Valentine.

They had already found him mysterious when he described Luo Gen's past in such detail. After the battle not long ago, they found the young man before them unfathomably mysterious.

They were all curious about his identity, origins, and abilities.

At that moment, Chris, who had remained silent all this time, spoke up. "This is what you meant by hiding a few abilities?"

"Since we met until now, you have displayed roughly six abilities. Does that mean you possess at least six abilities?"

"What?"

Luo Gen and the other two, who had thought they already understood the young man well, were left dumbfounded.

Six? Not only had he shown more than what they had seen before, he had even hidden other abilities? As their expressions changed, they felt increasingly shocked.

Who exactly was this young man? Why did he know so many secrets? As a mutant, why did he have so many Mutant Abilities?! At that moment, a string of questions emerged in their hearts.

Su Yao did not know how to answer, so he could only give the same vague answer he had given Chris before.

He said, "As a mutant, you have to be cautious, so I hid a few abilities."

"And that is only a few?" Chris's face was full of question marks. "You brat..."

Suddenly, he asked, "Kid, you have not hidden anything else, have you?"

"What level mutant are you exactly?"

"Level 3 or Level 4?"

He was not the only one with that question. At that moment, even Wolverine Luo Gen could not help wondering the same thing.

As for Level 5, it had never even crossed their minds.

Su Yao coughed a few times. He still did not know how to answer that question.

He changed the subject. "How long are you planning to stay here?"

As he spoke, he swept his gaze over the terrible surroundings.

Otto said, "We can only go out after things settle down outside. It should take a few days. It is too dangerous to go out now."

Luo Gen and the others nodded.

Su Yao glanced at them and suddenly said, "I may leave here tomorrow."

What? "Are you crazy?" Otto said in shock. "Aren't you afraid of getting caught if you go out like that?"

"Listen, kid..." Wolverine Luo Gen could not help himself either and wanted to persuade him.

However, before he could finish, Su Yao said, "There is no point in me staying here. Even if I do not leave, those people will find this place soon enough."

"Besides, they are after me. You are not very involved. Me leaving is good for you too."

Of course, the most important reason was that it was too dark here. Almost no sunlight could reach this place. How could he increase his strength without sunlight? If he really stayed here and his strength barely improved, that would truly be courting death! After trying to persuade him a little, they saw that his mind was made up and could only look at him with complicated expressions.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the next day.

As he absorbed the small amount of sunlight shining through the manhole openings, the energy in Su Yao's body began to recover.

More than ten minutes later...

After nodding to Luo Gen and the others, Su Yao's figure blurred and vanished from the sewer.

Watching his figure disappear, worry faintly appeared in their eyes.

After what happened yesterday, the hunt for Kevin would definitely become stricter. They did not know whether he could avoid it...

In a secluded alley, Su Yao's figure suddenly appeared.

After quickly scanning the surroundings and confirming that no one else was there, he hurried away.

While searching for a new hiding place, he saw just how extensive those people's reach was.

Along the streets, people stood watch at regular intervals, seemingly searching for suspicious individuals.

Su Yao frowned and could only rely on Space Teleportation to move around.

It took him more than half an hour to find a place that was both hidden and reached by sunlight.

After the energy in his body fully recovered, he heard a long-awaited prompt.

Light Energy +1

While gathering Light Energy, Su Yao tested a few things.

Reflection Shield Experience +1

In the blink of an eye, two invisible Reflection Shields appeared around him.

When Su Yao tried to summon a third Reflection Shield, he could not help frowning.

"Failed?"

He had a feeling that the third Reflection Shield might only appear once Reflection Shield reached Level 3.

"I originally wanted to deploy several more Reflection Shields and protect myself from all sides. Looks like I was thinking too much."

After testing Reflection Shield, he turned his attention to his other abilities.

Before long, his gaze settled on Sunshine Pervades.

Ability: Sunshine Pervades (23/100) Level 1

"I'll first raise Sunshine Pervades to Level 2, then raise Black Particle to Level 3. By then, Sunshine Pervades' range and Black Particle's firing range should both improve!"

The next second, radiant light appeared around him, accompanied by prompt sounds.

While Su Yao worked hard to improve his strength, inside Twenty-Three Base, after dealing with the injured, George and Kenny, who had not slept all night, nervously knocked on the office door of the base's person in charge, Alessandro.

"Come in."

Alessandro's deep voice sounded.

Captain George and Captain Kenny nervously walked in. The moment they entered, their hearts jolted as the gaze of Alessandro, the person in charge, made them uneasy.

Alessandro sat in his chair wearing a black-and-white suit, his slicked-back hair neatly combed. His face was dark, and he stared sharply at the two men who had entered.

"You failed again?" he asked darkly.

Captain George and Captain Kenny took a deep breath and nodded unwillingly.

"You two really are useless. You brought so many people and still could not catch a mere Number Thirty-Seven!"

"Do you know how many people have called me during this time?"

"You two useless fools!"

Alessandro slapped the desk in anger. As he berated them, he hurled a glass of water at them.

With a bang, the glass struck George, causing him considerable pain, but he did not dare make a sound.

Seeing that his superior's anger had subsided somewhat, Captain Kenny hurriedly explained.

"Sir, that Number Thirty-Seven is very abnormal!"

Hm? Alessandro signaled for him to continue.

Captain Kenny hurriedly gave a brief account of the battle, including how Number Thirty-Seven's strength had improved and how he had even displayed two more Mutant Abilities!

"What did you say?" Shock appeared on Alessandro's face.
