Facing Death with Unwavering Spirit

Chapter 73 Facing Death with Unwavering Spirit

The area around the house was filled with armored vehicles with flashing lights and blaring sirens.

The fully armed police surrounded the entire cabin, with everyone holding guns and ready to fight. The muzzles of their guns were pointed at all the entrances and exits of the cabin, and anyone who showed their head would be riddled with bullets in an instant.

"We're surrounded by disciplinary squad members; they're trying to trap us here."

Logan leaned against the window, peeked out slightly, and glanced around before his expression instantly turned serious.

There were densely packed police officers outside, roughly estimated to be at least several hundred people!

The huge disparity in numbers made Logan frown.

Although there was a whole room full of mutants, only Logan and a few others were actually capable of fighting.

Sending children with no combat experience into a melee with this highly skilled militia would inevitably result in a crushing defeat, especially since most of their abilities are still in their early stages.

Moreover, Logan had just activated Annihilation, and his stamina had not yet fully recovered, making it impossible for him to sustain a prolonged battle.

In addition, Lorna's body is also very weak and she can't hold on for too long.

"Damn it!"

Seeing no hope of escape, Logan couldn't help but curse, a fierce glint in his eyes.

There was really no other way but to inject serum to annihilate it.

However, if annihilation is used under the noses of so many people, then the fact that he has awakened a new skill will no longer be a secret, and this news will be exposed sooner or later.

Wolverine will become a bounty hunter, a target of various black markets and even Hydra, and his life will probably not be peaceful!

"How did they discover this place?"

Victor came closer, his expression grave.

"Those damned police officers have noses like dogs! They can track us down even the slightest clue!"

Klaus gripped his pistol tightly.

hum!

Behind them, a flash of green light appeared. The group turned around and saw Lorna clenching her teeth, trying to lift a short sword from the air. The short sword trembled and hovered for a moment, but quickly seemed to lose its strength and crashed to the ground.

"Cough cough cough!"

The girl's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she began to cough violently and uncontrollably. Her delicate features were scrunched up with exhaustion, and her forehead was covered in sweat.

"Child, don't force yourself."

Logan said to Lorna, "Forcing yourself to exhaust yourself will only make your physical condition worse."

After comforting Lorna, he quickly asked John, who was standing nearby, "Doesn't your shelter have any support? We can't get out of here on our own."

John shook his head with a bitter expression. "The shelter is too far from here. Even if we make contact with the shelter now, by the time reinforcements arrive, the cabin will have already been razed to the ground."

These words plunged the people in the room into complete silence, and an atmosphere of despair quickly filled the room.

Without support, all that awaits everyone is death!

Just then, the incessant sirens outside suddenly stopped. The leader of the patrol team, holding an electronic megaphone, shouted into the cabin, "Listen up, you inside! You are surrounded! Put down your weapons, put your hands behind your heads, and surrender! Otherwise, you will die!"

Logan and the others exchanged glances, offering no response.

If they surrender, there will only be one outcome: either they will be captured and used as experimental subjects in a laboratory, or they will be handcuffed with a restraint collar and spend their lives in prison. Either outcome will be more painful than death.

"I'm giving you one minute, or we'll open fire!"

The team leader spoke again, while extending his arm to look at the watch on his wrist.

A minute passed quickly, and the team leader shouted impatiently, "One minute is up! You asked for this! Machine gunners, get ready!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the gunners operating the heavy machine guns on the rig turned their guns around and aimed them at the wooden house.

"Get down on your feet!"

Upon seeing this, Logan's eyes narrowed sharply, and he waved for everyone to lie down.

bang bang bang! ! !

As soon as he finished speaking, the machine gunner pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The heavy machine gun spat fire, and bullets poured out like a torrential rain. The powerful machine gun bullets instantly pierced through the wooden house, and the walls were riddled with holes. Debris flew everywhere, and dust was everywhere.

Sunlight streamed in through the clear bullet holes, illuminating the entire room. The wooden building trembled violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Several minutes passed, the gunfire finally stopped, and the dust gradually settled. Logan, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help but let out a long breath. He quickly turned his head to look around and bent down to check on the others. "Are you all alright?"

"fine."

John and the others all raised their heads and shook their heads.

They all managed to drop to the ground in time, so the bullets didn't hit them; they just grazed their bodies. The unlucky ones only suffered minor cuts and were otherwise unharmed.

The children in the corner were all safe and sound, but the intense gunfire still terrified them. They huddled together, trembling, and the more timid ones were so frightened that they burst into tears, but dared not cry out loud, and could only bite their arms and sob softly.

"These damned beasts, they even prey on children!"

John's face darkened, and he couldn't help but clench his fist and pound the floor hard.

With so many children here, it's impossible that the riot police didn't notice. Yet, even so, they still ordered to open fire without hesitation. They're worse than animals!

John couldn't even imagine what the consequences would have been if he hadn't dodged in time.

"I think you should know that you have nowhere to run."

The leader of the disciplinary squad outside raised the megaphone again and shouted, "And this is just the appetizer. I'm giving you one more minute. If you don't come out now, it won't just be a few shots!"

"Damn it!"

Lorna stood up angrily, biting her red lips and saying coldly, "I'm going to wipe them out!"

As she spoke, green light continuously gathered in her hands, causing some metal objects to hum and tremble, but her face gradually turned pale.

"Stop!"

Logan reached out and pulled her back, shaking his head. "If you force your power again, you'll die here!"

Lorna's body could no longer withstand any more strain. If she were to go out, she would probably die from exhaustion before the enemy was completely wiped out.

"So what do we do now?!"

Lorna looked anxious; they were at their wits' end.

Logan glanced at the crowd, then back at the group of terrified children. He took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said resolutely, "Then let me deal with them!"

"What are you going to do?"

John noticed Logan's gaze; it was a resolute look of someone ready to die.

"I have lived for two hundred years, long enough, and long enough in silence. It is time for me to do more for the younger generation."

Logan took a deep breath, a glint in his eyes, and looked at the disciplinary team outside. His voice was icy cold as he said, "It's time to show these damned beasts what true fear from the depths of their souls is!"
