Capítulo 280: Chapter 278 Gravity-Defying Play
The brilliant fireworks blossomed uselessly in the sky above the base. The flames and light were so striking that they captivated the gaze of people for miles around.
"They should still be inside the base. Let's go!"
"We must not let them escape!"
Low-flying reconnaissance jets and armed vehicles conducting a carpet search were like sharks that had caught the scent of blood and they accelerated toward the old base.
Only when they had quickly moved far away from the base and were hiding in the nearby bushes, did two figures emerge from the shadows of the night.
"That was a bit close. But just now..." Natasha looked toward the direction of the base with astonishment.
"Don't think too much. It must have been Kyle," Steve chuckled as he spoke.
In the face of this seemingly dangerous situation, to set off fireworks with a malicious sense of humor, it could only be Kyle himself.
Without dwelling on it, Steve and Natasha took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to continue breaking through to the outside.
"We need to get back to New York City. SHIELD's people are all over the streets hunting us. We have to find some reliable help," Steve said while running as he cast a sideways glance at Natasha.
"Don't look at me. The people I know are all with SHIELD. And, although the members of the Carl Family are somewhat reliable, judging from the way the Family Head acted just now, he doesn't seem too concerned about the situation in New York City. Until I understand his intentions, I won't ask the Family for help."
Steve curiously asked, "What kind of family power is this Carl Family created by Kyle? Project Insight could endanger the world, isn't that enough to make them take action?"
"You'll find out later. Members of the Carl Family obey only the Family Head, and if the Family Head doesn't give orders, they all act like small warlords or leaders of underground organizations," Natasha said dismissively.
The members of the Carl Family were not easy to understand for ordinary people. They dealt with evolution and longevity, and except for obeying Family Head Kyle, each of them had their own pride and personality.
Natasha had no interest in the other members except for the few she knew.
Steve nodded helplessly and said, "Well, we'll have to rely on me then. But I've only known him for how many days?"
He paused and then suddenly seemed to remember something and his eyes slightly brightening.
Yes.
Steve remembered there was a retired African-American military pilot in the military rehabilitation area. He used to be a professional US Air Force pilot. "I know someone. He should be reliable! Let's go find him!"
Natasha nodded casually. "Wait a minute, how many days have you known him?"
"Seven days."
"..."
After the 'non-combat personnel' had evacuated, the night battle in the old base began.
No, it should be called a slaughter.
*Buzz...*
Enemy small fighter jets arrived first, their engines buzzing as they crossed the base's electric fence and rapidly headed for the rooftop of the building.
Raina was preparing to take action when Kyle lightly pushed Lorna forward and said, "No need to be hesitant, use your abilities to the fullest! Show me your true power!"
Lorna was caught off guard and was pushed to the front. She looked at the small fighter aircraft approaching head-on and lifted her hands, her lips pursed with determination. "Okay."
In fact, she had not fully displayed her abilities since a few years ago, when she had unleashed her powers to escape from a Hydra laboratory.
Until now, this very moment.
Lorna took a deep breath, her gem-like eyes filled with determination. Her hair fluttered without any wind, and her palms, activated with her powers, emitted a green light and misty effects.
*Gravitational Attraction!*
In just an instant.
The small fighter jet, flying at less than thirty meters high, was suddenly subjected to an abnormal gravitational force. The nose of the aircraft couldn't help but dip down a bit, and it was about to crash into the rooftop of the building.
Kyle raised his gaze, and the small fighter jet enlarged continuously in his pupils. He couldn't help but speed up his instructions, "Don't stop, give it more power."
Lorna's face turned slightly pale, and her hands rotated. The green light and misty effects danced in the air.
Control of the magnetic field!
It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and it was as if the pressure that was already thousands of pounds had multiplied tenfold!
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. The enemy aircraft came to a halt about ten meters in front of the building as if it had stuttered like a delay in a cartoon for half a second. Then it plummeted almost as if in freefall.
The aircraft crashed heavily onto the grass in front of the building, turning into a scorching fireball. The explosion sent flames soaring more than ten meters high, blowing Lorna's emerald hair wildly.
Her exquisitely cold face, illuminated by the flames, was handsome and full of dominance. Even women would be mesmerized by it.
But it only lasted for less than a second, and Lorna was struggling to maintain her composure.
Her pale face flushed, and she clenched her fists, looking at Kyle with excitement and pride. "How was that? Not bad, right?"
Just by using her abilities to pull down a fighter jet, even though it was flying at a low altitude, it was enough to shock ordinary people.
"Not bad," Kyle said with a faint smile.
The adrenaline-pumped Lorna suddenly felt as if she had been doused with cold water and pouted dissatisfiedly.
Kyle shook his head inwardly.
The phrase "not bad" was already a perfectly objective evaluation in relation to her abilities.
When gravitational attraction and magnetic control were combined, it was almost an invincible realm. Pulling down a flying fighter jet was just the beginning of mastering these abilities.
Kyle's ears twitched as his extraordinary senses detected danger approaching. He pondered, "Don't believe me? Let me show you what true power application is!"
As he spoke, the three of them floated in mid-air and flew into the sky, escaping from the rooftop where they were.
The next moment.
The building below suffered a fierce bombardment, and in the destructive explosion, it collapsed thunderously into ruins.
Twenty meters in the air, the three of them floated as if they were in a spacecraft, suspended in mid-air by the traction of various forces.
"Why am I flying... How did you do this?" Lorna exclaimed, her bright eyes looking at Kyle, but Raina just chuckled, covering her mouth.
"Take a closer look. Isn't this the power you possess?" Kyle smiled wryly.
With his reminder, Lorna finally noticed the familiar green light and mist lingering between Kyle's fingers.
There were gravitational forces coming from all directions, up, down, left, and right, causing them to leave the ground, remain suspended, and achieve the effect of flight.
"This is gravitational attraction... and you can use it like this?" Lorna was shocked, even forgetting to question why Kyle had her ability.
The enemy soldiers who had arrived inside the base fired rockets into the air once again, and the shells, trailing flames, and smoke, flew toward the three of them.
"Not only can I use it like this, but I can do this as well," Kyle said, crossing his two fingers in a sword shape and lightly tapping the approaching shells from a distance.
Gravitational distortions and disruptions occurred, and the air solidified like mud. The rocket shells' speed continuously slowed down, coming to a halt about half a meter in front of his fingertips.
This half-meter was an insurmountable gap!
