Before Phil could leave the room.

A piercing alarm rang out inside.

His expression changed as he turned to look at the surveillance feed on the wall.

He immediately saw a tightly wrapped figure descending from the air onto the mountaintop where the base was located.

"It's him! It's him!"

The trembling middle-aged man standing nearby let out a startled cry upon seeing the familiar figure on the monitor.

Instead of being alarmed, Phil was delighted.

"You're saying the Vibranium is in his hands?"

"That's right!"

The middle-aged man nodded.

"After he injured Sabretooth, he took the Vibranium!"

Phil's eyes lit up.

"He's got some nerve. He stole the Vibranium and still dared to follow us here!"

Hearing that, the middle-aged man finally realized what had happened and looked toward Sabretooth.

A moment later, he found a soybean-sized tracker in Sabretooth's pocket.

A look of terror appeared on his face.

"I'm sorry, Doctor. It was my oversight!"

"No!!"

Phil shook his head.

"You did very well!"

With that, he pressed a button on the wall.

In an instant, the piercing alarm echoed throughout the entire base.

Soldiers carrying rifles poured out from every room in the base, all converging on the entrance.

Outside.

Xu Mo, who had landed on the mountaintop and was gradually approaching the entrance, immediately spotted the soldiers rushing out of the base.

"Have I been discovered?"

Seeing the soldiers rapidly gathering, Xu Mo immediately understood.

Since he had been discovered, he could not be bothered playing cat and mouse with them anymore.

With a thought.

The soldiers who had just rushed out the door immediately felt an irresistible force seize their guns, and the weapons flew from their hands in an instant.

Then, like soldiers standing in formation, the guns lined up neatly in the air.

Their muzzles were aimed at their former owners.

At the sight, the soldiers were scared out of their wits.

Without hesitation, they turned and ran back.

But they were clearly far too slow.

The moment they turned around, the triggers of those guns seemed to be pulled by an unseen hand.

Rat-a-tat-tat!

Dense gunfire echoed through the corridor, mixed with screams.

By the time the magazines had been emptied, nearly all of the base's armed forces had been wiped out.

Xu Mo then stepped into the base.

Four flying knives shot out from behind him and circled around his body.

The researchers, who had long since learned that the base was under attack, had all become combatants as well, each raising a gun toward the entrance.

As the sound of footsteps drew closer.

Xu Mo stepped into the laboratory.

The moment he entered, he saw through the transparent glass surrounding the lab the various Mutants being used as test subjects in the rooms beyond.

"Live Mutant experiments?"

Xu Mo frowned, a trace of coldness in his gaze as he looked at the researchers in the distance.

The moment the researchers saw Xu Mo enter, they almost simultaneously pulled their triggers.

Unfortunately, Xu Mo was no slower to react.

His Psychic Force swept over the researchers.

The instant they pulled the triggers, the muzzles of their pistols seemed to be squeezed by some invisible force and converged toward the center.

In an instant, gun explosions rang out one after another.

Screams filled the room.

At the same time, the flying knives circling Xu Mo shot toward the people lying on the ground.

In less than half a minute, the room fell silent.

This scene was clearly displayed on the surveillance monitor on the wall of Phil's office.

Doctor Phil stood there with a vacant expression.

"Magneto?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Disbelief filled his face.

Whether in height or build, the other person did not look anything like Magneto.

Besides, as far as he knew, Magneto seemed to have lost his Mutant abilities.

Ordinary people might not know much about it, but to them, Magneto being injected with the Mutant Cure was no secret.

"A devil! He must be a devil!"

At that moment, the middle-aged man still in the room collapsed to the floor with a thud and let out a miserable cry.

That cry instead snapped Doctor Phil out of his daze.

"Shut up!"

After barking at the man, he went to the back of the office, took a small suitcase from a safe in the corner, and got up to flee toward the rear of the base.

The situation was obvious. If he did not leave now, he might not get away at all.

When he reached the door, he turned and ordered Sabretooth.

"Come with me!"

With that, he left with Sabretooth.

He had gone to great lengths for the Healing Factor in Sabretooth's body, so naturally he would not abandon him.

The middle-aged man sprawled on the ground also came to his senses.

He hurriedly scrambled to his feet.

"Doctor, take me with you!"

As he spoke, he chased after them.

"Get lost!"

After a gunshot, the middle-aged man fell into a pool of blood.

At this point, not a single person could be seen near the entrance of the base.

Xu Mo, who had entered the base.

Only briefly swept his gaze around.

"Could this be one of Hydra's secret bases?"

The researchers and well-equipped soldiers inside the base led Xu Mo to this conclusion.

Without stopping.

His body flashed as he rushed deeper into the base.

After seeing everything in the base, Xu Mo realized that his earlier guess had clearly been wrong.

This was obviously a secret organization researching Mutants.

His presence had been exposed, and with the base's armed forces destroyed, the person in charge would most likely choose to flee.

He had to intercept them before they escaped.

In less than half a minute.

Xu Mo followed the passageway to a small platform at the rear of the mountain range.

On the platform, Sabretooth stood before a zip line extending toward the foot of the mountain.

In the distance, someone seemed to be hanging from the zip line and sliding downward.

Seeing Sabretooth hook himself up and prepare to leave as well, Xu Mo moved his Psychic Force.

No matter how hard Sabretooth pulled, the zip line did not move at all.

Only then did Sabretooth notice Xu Mo behind him. After letting out a roar, he tore off the hook on his body and pounced at Xu Mo.

Now that he had found their lair, Xu Mo naturally had no intention of holding back anymore.

Besides, the master of the base was escaping quickly, and he had no time to waste here.

Twofold Force!

Psychic Force Enhancement!

His right hand, clad in a metal glove, clenched into a fist and smashed toward his opponent.

Psychic Force could not act on flesh. Once it came into contact with a body, it would pass straight through.

To make it easier to enhance himself with Psychic Force and fly.

He had specially forged a suit of metal armor.

His physical strength was fifteen tons. With Twofold Force, that became thirty tons, plus sixty-one tons from Psychic Force Enhancement.

At that moment, the force behind his right fist was close to a hundred tons.

The instant he threw the punch, a tremendous sonic boom echoed across the platform.

His fist struck Sabretooth like lightning.

Sabretooth's body jerked to a halt, suspended in midair as if someone had pressed pause.

Then, like a punctured balloon, his body exploded in an instant.

Points +12000!

The system's voice rang in his mind.

But he had no time to check it. With a leap, he chased after the zip line.
