Capítulo 6: Chapter 6

At this moment, Syd's internal energy was only sufficient to fire nine more Dark Particles. If he continued to use them, he might run out of energy altogether.

Moreover, if it hadn't been his first time trying Dark Particles, concerned about missing his target, he would not have aimed at their chests but directly at their heads and hearts, which would have saved energy.

Reflecting on this, he sighed, "I still have too little energy inside me…"

He picked up the middle-aged researcher's ID card and swiped it at the metal door's card reader.

With a beep, the door automatically opened! Fortunately, there was no iris scan or similar security feature, or he would have been in trouble.

He dashed out, running toward the next metal door.

As he made his escape, the entire facility erupted into chaos.

The piercing sound of alarms echoed throughout, alerting staff and inmates alike that someone was attempting to escape.

"Quick, quick!"

"Teams ready, catch him!"

Under the orders of the facility's leadership, armed personnel sprung into action.

Footsteps echoed in the corridors, with some running towards Syd's direction and others stationed at exits, waiting to catch him.

Inmates in their cells were dumbfounded, peeking through the bars to see who was escaping.

"Who is it this time? Didn't someone just try to escape a few days ago?"

"Haven't they learned their lesson yet, idiot!"

"Ah…"

There were expressions of surprise, ridicule, and sighs.

"I wonder who is foolish enough to think about escaping…"

The freckled youth who had spoken with Syd during the day now recalled a familiar figure.

Is it him?

"No, it can't be him. That guy just tried to escape a few days ago, and his injuries haven't even healed yet."

"We'll know by tomorrow…"

"Ha ha ha, right, then we can mock that person a bit…"

As the inmates whispered among themselves, Syd was already nearing the second door.

Some pursuers caught up.

"Stop, don't move, or we'll shoot!"

"Put your hands up!"

Five armed guards with rifles approached him, their dark muzzles pointed at him.

Syd ignored them, knowing these people wouldn't easily shoot since as a test subject, he was more valuable alive.

Many experiments required him to be alive to be effective, even if they ended in death, those were valuable records.

Taking advantage of their hesitation, Syd swiped his ID card at the reader.

He also kept an eye on the guards, ready to use Rebound Shield or Spatial Transfer to dodge if they made a move to shoot.

Fortunately, they didn't choose to fire, seeming to wait for others to join them for a sure capture.

Syd kept watch while running towards the final exit.

Rapid footsteps and clamor filled the corridors.

As he approached the facility's main gate, his pace slowed down because he found dozens of armed personnel waiting for him.

They looked amused, holding their guns aimed at him.

Faced with their encirclement and seeing an unobstructed exit, Syd was puzzled and approached cautiously.

He swiped his card, but to no effect—a voice announced a verification error.

He now understood why they hadn't stopped him from getting close—they were overly confident! Seeing his actions, the amusement on the faces of the surrounding armed personnel intensified, and some even laughed out loud.

Captain Kenny stepped forward and shouted, "Don't try to resist, this is a specially made metal door, you can't open it."

He paused, then added, "Mutant freak, don't even try to use your powers. The moment you make a move, we'll turn you into a sieve!"

His tone was condescending, as if to say that having mutant powers was irrelevant against their greater numbers and firepower.

Watching the mockery on their faces, Syd mockingly smiled back and quietly said, "Goodbye."

[Spatial Transfer Experience +1]

Amidst disbelieving stares, his figure flickered and vanished from the spot.

"This is impossible!"

Captain Kenny's smile froze, and he shouted angrily.

The others were stunned, unable to believe what they had seen.

Had the fugitive just disappeared? What kind of mutant power was that?

Their faces filled with confusion.

Previously, the briefings in their earpieces hadn't mentioned such a power! As they stood incredulous, Captain Kenny grabbed a rifle and fired wildly into the empty space.

Bang, bang, bang…

After a while, confirming there was no sound of bullets hitting flesh, Captain Kenny realized, "Open the gate, the kid has gotten out!"

"He can't have gone far, hurry!"

While they scrambled, Syd was already running towards a nearby road outside the facility.

Panting~

With unhealed injuries and long periods without exercise, his heart pounded, and he began to tire.

As he ran, his eyes brightened when he spotted two researchers near some parked vehicles.

Seeing him approach, the researchers' faces changed, and they turned to run.

Before they could get far, a dark particle shot towards them.

[Dark Particle Experience +1]

In an instant, one researcher fell to the ground clutching his stomach in agony.

"Run again, and I'll aim for your head next!"

As Syd warned the other fleeing man, feeling the energy for only seven more abilities left in him, he frowned slightly.

Hearing his threat, and seeing his friend's agony, Wesley raised his hands, pleading, "Hey man, don't shoot, let's talk!"

"Where are your car keys?" Syd demanded coldly.

"Take me to where you parked, no tricks, and you don't want to end up like him, do you?" he said, nodding towards the groaning man on the ground.

"No, here." Wesley, jolted into action, quickly pulled out a car key from his pocket and pointed to a nearby vehicle.

"That's my car…"

Boom, the sound of the facility gate opening echoed in the distance.

Syd's expression changed.

He grabbed the keys and pulled the researcher toward the car.

They hadn't run far when gunfire sounded in the distance.

"Ah!"

The researcher beside him screamed.

Capítulo 7: Chapter 7

Syd's complexion drastically changed, and he released the person and instantly performed a spatial transfer, leaving his original position.

[Spatial Transfer Experience +1]

Bang, bang—the sound of bullets hitting the ground rang out, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

This was not a movie, TV drama, or patriotic resistance drama. If he were shot a few times, he would likely fall to the ground screaming in pain, completely incapacitated.

Realizing this, he couldn't afford to waste his energy, and in an instant, he blinked away several times.

[Spatial Transfer Experience +1]

Using the cover of night and the almost unnoticeable signs of spatial translocation, he successfully made it next to the car.

Just as he used the remote to open the car door and sat down, a series of bullet sounds erupted near his ear.

Bang, bang, bang, accompanied by the sound of breaking car glass.

"Fuck!"

Syd clutched his left arm, unable to suppress a cry of pain.

There was a bullet hole clearly visible on his arm, now bleeding profusely.

His face turned pale with pain, almost fainting.

He started the car and slammed on the accelerator, driving straight down the road.

At the same time, he strained every bit of remaining energy in his body to form a rebound shield at the car window.

[Rebound Shield Experience +1]

Whoosh—the sound of bullets piercing through the air! Then, an astonishing scene unfolded!

The space around him slightly rippled, and the bullets seemed to be swallowed by the space, disappearing without a trace!

At the same time, Syd felt a strange void where the metal bullets were rapidly disintegrating into nothing, and their kinetic energy absorbed by this space.

These forces converged, forming a blue energy...

At that moment, Syd had a premonition that he could reflect this energy whenever he wished!

He did not release it immediately due to the car speeding away and his lack of focus for aiming.

Now, his attention was wholly captured by the severe pain in his arm and the direction the vehicle was traveling, with no mind to spare for anything else.

The car sped unrestrictedly forward!

"Damn it!"

Captain Kenny's face darkened as he watched the black vehicle disappear into the distance.

No one had escaped the base for a long time, and it wouldn't happen on his watch.

Thinking this, his anger flared, "Chase him, we must catch that kid!"

By the time he issued the chase command, Syd was already far away.

Glancing at the navigation system turned on in the car, he headed towards the nearest city.

Sweat covered his forehead, and he looked somewhat dazed.

Were it not for his strong desire to live, the lack of other vehicles on the road, and the original owner's incredible driving skills, he would have likely crashed by now.

"Isn't that kid afraid to die?"

Watching the rapidly moving vehicle in the distance, Kenny was shocked.

Driving so fast, how dare he?

"Speed up, catch him!" he ordered.

The driving soldier sweated profusely, hastily explaining, "We can't, sir, it's too risky..."

"Damn it..." Kenny's expression shifted between anger and resignation, ultimately deciding not to push for more speed.

Catching that despicable mutant was less important than his own life.

Thus, at a preserved speed, they could only watch helplessly as the car vanished at the horizon, the gunfire having no effect.

Kenny grimaced, "I'll catch you, don't think you're safe just because you escaped the base!"

What awaited that kid would be a warrant for his arrest and their relentless pursuit!

He would be hunted down like a rat in the streets!

He didn't believe that the kid who had embarrassed him could run far or hide for long, perhaps a day or two at most before being captured!

Once caught, he was determined to teach that kid a lesson he wouldn't forget, letting him experience what true misery was!

Thinking this, a smile spread across his face.

After another stretch of pursuit near the city's slum area, they spotted a black vehicle in flames. As for the young man inside, he had already vanished without a trace.

After searching for a while longer without finding the kid, Kenny drove back to the base, while others continued the search.

No. 23 Research Base.

Inside an office.

"What did you say? You let that test subject escape?"

Sitting in a chair, a middle-aged man dressed in a black and white suit, his hair neatly slicked back, frowned.

Facing the base manager, Alessandro, Kenny forced a smile, "Sir, just give me some time, and I promise to bring back Experiment No. 37!"

Hearing his words, Alessandro's expression softened somewhat, saying, "I hope so."

After that, he lost interest in Experiment No. 37, considering it just another ordinary test subject.

He picked up a stack of freshly printed documents from his desk, casually browsing through them.

They contained some information about Experiment No. 37, including an analysis of the abilities demonstrated not long ago.

Two new abilities were highlighted.

Mutant Abilities: The target is suspected to have telepathic abilities, capable of teleporting a short distance through thought.

Can emit black energy spheres with significant destructive power, suspected of having a disintegrating effect, but the upper limits of destruction are unknown, requiring further testing...

In a short time, the research base had recorded Syd's abilities.

If not for the rebound shield's inconspicuous effect and the darkness of the night, perhaps this ability would have appeared in the documents too.

Reviewing the data, including the power of the mutant abilities and the range of telepathic movement, Alessandro felt somewhat disappointed and regretful.

"What a pity, it's just a failure after all."

He shook his head.

Experiment No. 37, purportedly bred from the genes of two major mutants, Magneto and Professor X, had only such limited powers. Honestly, he was disappointed.

Not to mention the initial capability of merely absorbing sunlight, which had been a major disappointment, leading them to almost abandon the research on him.

Even now, despite the kid's second awakening of his powers, they were still not very impressive.

A telepathic transmission that could only move a meter or two—what use was that, for passing through walls?

And the strange black energy spheres—what use were they when their effects could be replicated by firearms, and the impact on a human was about the same?

Just dispatch a few armed people, and they could easily kill such a power user!
