The professor who saw the state Eric was in gave an order.
The Professor: “take the shot now and don’t forget to use this” the professor brought out new set of bullets to which the snipers looked upon with confusion.
A sniper: “sir I thought you wanted him alive but these…”
The professor: “X-1’s healing factor I beyond what you can imagine, the serum pushed it way past the limit. Even if, you blow him up as long as his brain remains intact, he’ll live at most he’ll go unconscious for a bit, now take the shot.”
The snipers hesitated no more and loaded the new bullet and took aim, *bang* gunshots were heard soon followed by *boom* two explosions that sent the distracted Eric flying with a huge hole in his torso alongside a missing arm.
