บท 25: Chapter 25
"Haha, is it starting?"
As the preview ads played, numerous viewers were invigorated.
"Last time that video host couldn't release the sequel, but this time we can finally see it!"
"Yeah, I can finally see the scene where that mutant is caught, it's been keeping me up at night."
"Everyone, take a guess at when the mutant will be caught, I bet twenty minutes~"
"I think it won't take long, maybe about ten minutes."
From the preview ads they saw, they could tell that this time was of great magnitude, which gave them confidence.
Not a single person thought they would lose; they all felt it was only a matter of time before the young mutant was captured!
As people eagerly awaited the capture scene to play, some mutant viewers also began to worry.
"I hope he can get away!"
They prayed in their hearts, hoping their fellow mutant could successfully escape.
At this moment, both Professor X and Magneto noticed the live broadcast.
Professor X's face showed concern.
Magneto's expression darkened, his disdain for ordinary humans intensifying.
No matter what they thought, they had little hope for the young man's safety now.
No one knew better than they did about the government's power; with such thorough preparations, it seemed the young man could not escape.
Professor X sighed, already considering if he could use his connections to get the young man out.
Meanwhile, Magneto contemplated whether to plan another terrorist attack to teach the ordinary humans a lesson.
As countless people paid attention to this broadcast, Kenny and his team surrounded the target's location.
Thirty fully armed soldiers disembarked from an armored vehicle, with some police cars following for escort.
As they were about a hundred meters from the target, the soldiers prepared while chatting casually.
"Hey, Raylan, do you think we'll catch the target this time?"
A handsome soldier hesitantly asked the person next to him.
Raylan glanced at him and smiled confidently.
"Don't worry, we know the target well and have already planned the operation. There's no escape for the target!"
Before coming, they had watched many videos of the mutant fighting and understood his capabilities well. The think tank had also arranged a comprehensive battle plan. How could they lose?
Hearing this, the asking soldier also showed a confident expression.
Yes, it's just teleportation and shooting black energy waves, what's so difficult about that!
As some soldiers chatted, Captains George and Kenny also conversed in the distance.
Captain George suddenly said, "Has Number 37's strength increased?"
Kenny understood his concern and shook his head, smiling, "Just as the commander said, hiding two abilities and part of his strength is already the limit for that kid; he has nothing left to hide."
"We've already figured out Number 37's strength. With such preparation, he can't escape."
"That makes sense," Captain George said, relaxing.
Kenny continued, "Don't say that we even brought seven Sentinel robots."
He glanced at a few safes nearby, his face confident.
Speaking of the Sentinel robots, Captain George looked at the boxes containing the spider-type Sentinel robots with some doubt, "Why didn't we bring the giant Sentinels, but these spider-type models?"
In his words, there was a hint of dissatisfaction.
Captain Kenny glanced at him speechlessly, "You know, giant Sentinel robots cost a fortune?"
"Getting approval for these few was already enough."
"For capturing Number 37, we don't need those Sentinels; these robots are enough to catch him."
Hearing this, Captain George nodded, "I see."
"Right, for Number 37, these seven Sentinel robots are enough."
At that moment, the beautiful Irina, standing not far away, perked up.
"Oh, Sentinel robots?"
"I heard they're still under research; you've already produced some finished products?"
Irina giggled, "Just right, let the audience see the Sentinel robots this time; maybe the ratings will go up!"
Kenny and the others said nothing, tacitly approving her filming.
The video uploaded online previously had indeed made a significant impact. This successful capture would tell everyone that mutants are not so scary and not unbeatable.
It was about teaching confidence!
That was the main reason they allowed Irina to follow and film.
As they arranged the combat site, this operation also attracted much attention from passers-by, who followed curiously and warily at a distance, even using binoculars to watch.
A distance away, Chris, who had once saved Syd, was hurrying to the scene.
"Kid, you have to hold on!"
Since seeing the preview earlier, he knew the child was in danger.
Although he had seen the child's abilities before and knew they were somewhat effective, facing such a military encirclement, what use were those abilities? How could he possibly escape?
So, he was rushing there, hoping to help the child escape if possible.
As he headed there, Captain George and the others began their action.
Bright lights shone on the bar, making the street as bright as day.
Inside the bar.
Logan and others, who were chatting, also noticed the crowd's panic.
"Run!"
"The police have surrounded the place!"
"Oh my, I don't want to be involved!"
The crowd screamed in panic, rushing towards the exits.
"What's happening?" Valentine looked puzzled.
"I'll go check." Logan said gravely.
Trusting his healing factor, he strode towards the bar's entrance.
Valentine and Otto exchanged glances, not understanding what was happening, and followed him.
Before following, Otto didn't forget to turn and shout at Syd, "Hey, keep up, let's go see together."
Watching them leave, Syd's eyes slightly darkened.
Unlike Logan and the others, he quickly guessed the reason.
"It must be those people who have come!"
He thought about whether to use spatial teleportation to try and escape.
A few seconds later, he decided to observe the situation from a distance before considering running.
He followed Logan and the others from afar.
Just as he approached the entrance, his expression changed slightly when he saw the bright lights surrounding the area, shining from distant vehicle roofs.
He saw several police cars and at least dozens of fully armed soldiers, already considering how to safely escape.
As he planned his route, Logan and the others saw the outside arrangement and all changed their expressions.
What was happening?
Such a large force?
Beyond their surprise, they also felt a bit guilty, fearing these people were after them.
As they pondered individually, Captain George and the others made their move.
