The Dilemma of Encirclement and Suppression
Chapter 72 The Dilemma of Encirclement and Suppression
Victor drove recklessly, his foot practically welded to the accelerator, going so fast it was almost like he was taking off.
Every vehicle along the way cursed him as a madman and turned around to avoid him.
After a long drive, the two finally returned to the camp.
Meanwhile, John and his companions had just arrived safely and were getting out of the car.
Hearing the sound of a car behind them, they hurriedly turned around and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it was Logan and his group.
Victor parked the car in front of the camp, and the two got out.
John rushed over, excitedly saying, "You're all alright, that's so great!"
John was prepared for the two men to be captured, and he had even planned to gather more people to rescue them after returning to the shelter.
Seeing the two return safely, his worries vanished instantly, and he quickly checked on them to see if they were injured.
Thank you.
Lorna followed John up and thanked Logan.
After all, if it weren't for Logan and his team's rescue, she would still be being tortured by Anna and her gang.
"You're welcome."
Logan waved his hand, saying that after resting in the car, he had recovered some of his strength and was now fine except for being slightly pale.
Looking at Lorna's emerald green hair, Logan smiled and said, "Your ability reminds me of an old friend."
"Who?"
Upon hearing this, Lorna asked curiously, as she had no idea that her father was Magneto.
Logan was about to speak when he was interrupted by a shout from inside the house.
"My God, thank goodness, you're finally back!"
Caliban ran out of the cabin, his face beaming with excitement. He had been extremely worried during the time he had been waiting.
After all, those who could take them to the shelter had already left, and if they didn't come back, he didn't know where to take the professor and the children.
However, halfway there, Caliban noticed Lorna next to Logan, suddenly froze, his body trembled involuntarily, and he sniffed Lorna, his brows furrowing as he said, "This scent... it's too similar..."
"Who exactly are you talking about?"
Lorna couldn't help but speak up; the conversation between the two of them was completely baffling to her.
Magneto.
Logan smiled. "An old friend of ours."
"Magneto?"
Lorna murmured the name, then shook her head, saying, "Never heard of him. He can manipulate metal like I can?"
"Forehead……"
Logan paused for a moment, unsure how to answer, before finally shaking his head with a smile and saying, "Let the professor explain this to you later. We need to leave here quickly."
Although they had shaken off their pursuers, the riot police had a nose as sharp as a dog's and could easily pinpoint their location by following the traces they left behind.
They have to get out of here quickly.
John nodded, immediately went inside, and shouted, "Everyone, pack your things quickly, we have to leave now, hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Upon hearing his words, the group of children sprang into action, gathering their companions to begin tidying up.
Logan and Caliban also entered the cabin together and went upstairs to greet the professor.
Stepping onto the creaking wooden stairs, Caliban couldn't help but glance back at Lorna and whispered, "Is that girl really Magneto's daughter?"
"Maybe."
Logan added, "You could ask the professor; he'd definitely know."
"I think so too. My nose can't be wrong. Her scent is just too similar to Magneto's."
Caliban said with a worried expression, "That ability makes me feel uncomfortable all over."
"Don't worry, she won't hurt us."
Logan gently comforted him.
Caliban remained worried, muttering to himself, "I hope she doesn't become the next Magneto."
Soon, the two arrived at their room and began unpacking their luggage.
They didn't bring much; most of the useless items had already been thrown away at the rendezvous point. Even the professor's wheelchair was tossed into a pile of weeds.
All they had with them were some changes of clothes and cash; each person had a backpack filled with all their belongings.
dong dong dong.
Logan had just finished tidying up when a knock came at the door. When he opened it, he saw Laura standing outside.
The little girl looked up at him with a worried expression, but she was relieved when she saw that Logan was alright.
She reached out and handed it over, holding three vials of green serum in her hand.
"This is an enhancement serum that can temporarily enhance the ability of the X gene."
Laura began to explain what she was holding, adding, "It's something Carl and the others brought from the lab when they escaped. Back in the lab, those people often injected us with it, and it was indeed very effective."
Logan looked at the serum, smiled, and asked, "For us?"
He was well aware of the effects of these serums. For mutants, this stuff could suddenly unleash their full power in times of crisis, making it an absolute weapon for counterattack in a major battle.
Laura nodded. "Karl said you need these things more than we do, and hopefully you'll find them useful in a pinch."
In the current situation, these children are of little help to the battle, and the serum is of little use to them. On the contrary, Logan and his group are the ones who can make the serum effective.
"Thanks."
Logan nodded, reached out and took the serum; both he and Victor desperately needed it right now.
Laura smiled and added, "By the way, the amount injected cannot be too much, otherwise it will damage the body's functions. If you are injured, you can inject a small amount to quickly restore your body and control."
"I see."
Logan carefully put away the serum, then smiled and ruffled Laura's hair. "Have you packed everything?"
Laura turned to the side and showed off her backpack. "We can leave anytime."
boom! !
At that moment, gunshots suddenly rang out from outside.
Logan's expression hardened, and he quickly looked out the window.
At the same time, John downstairs shouted, "Oh no, it's the disciplinary squad! Those guys are catching up!"
"Fuck!"
Logan couldn't help but roar in anger, and quickly pulled Laura, who was outside the door, into the house, instructing her, "You stay here and watch over the professor, I'll go down and check."
Laura also realized the seriousness of the situation and nodded seriously.
Logan, on the other hand, quickly went downstairs with a sullen face.
He hadn't expected that the disciplinary squad members would have such a keen sense of smell, finding their location so quickly!
Downstairs, the wooden door was locked shut. John, standing guard at the window with his pistol raised, saw Logan come down and said gravely, "They're here!"
Logan leaned closer to the window and glanced outside.
At this moment, the entire wooden house was surrounded by dense armored vehicles, and red and blue police lights were flashing on the roof of the armored vehicles.
Fully armed special police officers stepped out of armored vehicles, each carrying a variety of weapons, resembling a massive counter-terrorism operation!
Logan looked serious, his fists unconsciously clenching.
With so many people, even a fly probably couldn't get out!
