Mutant

The Electric Shock Gun in Mark's hand had been modified to increase its current to 100 milliamps. Anyone hit by it would suffer instant cardiac arrest and die on the spot.

Its power was incomparable to the original Electric Shock Gun, which had only 3 milliamps of current.

"Ah?"

Rosalie had already fallen into despair, but when she saw Mark dart out and instantly kill five people, she was so shocked that she stood there dumbfounded. "Mark, h-how did you do that?"

From her perspective, Mark's movements had been unbelievably fast, and every shot had hit its target. This was simply not something an ordinary person could do!

"Mm..."

As Mark changed magazines, he recalled the state he had been in just now.

At that time, he had felt everything around him slow down, as if he had entered the legendary Bullet Time.

But when he tried again now, he could no longer enter that state.

"Maybe once my Super Brain continues leveling up, I'll be able to enter that state whenever I want?"

Mark guessed inwardly.

"Ms. Payne! Mark! Are you two all right?"

Just then, Faith's anxious voice came through Rosalie and Mark's earpieces.

"We... we're fine now. Mark took care of all five of them just now."

As Rosalie replied, her gaze at Mark was still somewhat unfocused.

Although she had gradually grown accustomed to Mark's usual displays of genius, she was still thoroughly shocked this time.

"What? How is that possible?"

Faith and the other bodyguards were clearly stunned by Rosalie's words as well.

They could not believe that a five-year-old child like Mark had taken care of five vicious gangsters.

But this was not the time to question it, so they could only suppress their doubts for the moment.

At that moment, Mark saw a bubble suddenly appear out of thin air behind Rosalie.

The bubble burst instantly, revealing a strange figure inside.

The figure wore a red T-shirt. The exposed parts of his arms and face had no skin; instead, they were covered in layer upon layer of fish scales!

His pupils contracted at once, and he hurriedly warned her, "Mom, watch out..."

But it was already too late!

The strange man behind Rosalie extended a palm covered in scales and struck the back of her neck hard.

"Urgh..."

Rosalie's eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground. Her lady's pistol rolled off to one side as well.

"Mom!"

Mark was horrified, and a surge of fury rose in his heart.

After all these years together, he had been moved by the maternal love Rosalie had shown him and had come to regard her as his real mother.

Seeing her hurt now, Mark's anger instantly flooded his mind.

He entered that state again, feeling everything around him slow down.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Mark raised the Electric Shock Gun he had just reloaded and rapidly pulled the trigger at the strange man in front of him.

The strange man flickered from side to side, trying to dodge the Electric Shock Gun's shots.

But in Mark's eyes, the man's movements were as slow as a crawling turtle.

He quickly adjusted the muzzle, ensuring that every electric round struck the man.

"Bzzzt, bzzzt, bzzzt..."

The strange man's body trembled violently as sparks of electricity burst from him.

If he had been any ordinary person, his heart would have stopped by now, and he would have fallen dead.

But the strange man endured the electric current's damage and charged in front of Mark, slapping the Electric Shock Gun from his hand!

Then he grabbed Mark by the throat and lifted him up.

"You damn little brat, that hurt like hell!"

His tone was icy as he opened a mouth full of fish-like teeth, his face utterly savage. "If that gentleman didn't want you alive, I'd have torn you to pieces today!"

Mark's face turned bright red. He desperately pried at the man's hand with both hands, but it was as futile as trying to shake a tree with an ant.

Only now did he truly realize that, with only Super Brain unlocked, he was still far too weak when faced with danger.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

When Mark's vision began to darken and he was on the verge of suffocating, the strange man finally put him down.

"Pop!"

Then the strange man spat out a bubble.

The bubble swelled larger and larger, quickly enveloping both him and Mark. Their figures vanished from the spot out of thin air.

Mark finally understood how the man had suddenly appeared behind Rosalie, and he also learned his identity—a Mutant!

"Damn it! Why did a Mutant show up and attack me?"

Mark felt incredibly unlucky to have encountered a Mutant.

Because of the information gap, Mark still believed that the Blackfire Gang was targeting the entire film crew. He did not know that their real target was actually him, much less that a Mutant was involved.

After all, Mutants were rare. There might not even be twenty thousand in the entire Federation.

Mark's chances of encountering a Mutant were lower than winning the lottery jackpot.

"Kid, behave yourself, or I'll snap your neck right now!"

The Mutant hoisted Mark over his shoulder and swaggered toward the exit of the amusement park.

The people around them could not see them at all, completely ignoring the two of them.

Fortunately, Mark noticed that the drone above him had been following him the entire time. That put him somewhat at ease, since he knew the man's ability could not block the signal from the tracking device.

The Mutant did not stop until they reached a van outside the amusement park.

The bubble around their bodies burst, revealing the two of them.

"Riiip..."

The Mutant took out restraints and bound Mark's hands and feet. Then he tore off a piece of tape, sealed Mark's mouth with it, and threw him onto the back seat of the van.

Whether the Mutant thought Mark was too young to threaten him, or whether becoming a Mutant had shrunk his brain as well, he did not take the satchel from Mark's waist.

The drone hovering over Mark's head recorded the entire process of his kidnapping by the Mutant, as well as the van's information.

Following the emergency protocol Mark had set, Alice sent the video to every nearby police station!

I hope the New York police are useful enough to save me quickly!

However, Mark had never been the type to place all his hopes on others.

Mark forcefully rolled over and reached his bound hands toward the satchel at his waist.

Inside the satchel was a second Electric Shock Gun modified by Mark.

This Electric Shock Gun was even more powerful. Its voltage had been increased to one million volts, and its current had been boosted to 500 milliamps.

Mark had originally intended to use this Electric Shock Gun against Mutants, bio-engineered humans, or aliens. He had not expected it to come in handy this time.

Judging from the Mutant's earlier performance, his physical abilities were stronger than those of an ordinary person, but only to a limited extent.

The first Electric Shock Gun had already caused him some damage. The second was far more powerful than the first, so it might just be able to kill him in one strike!
