THE EXIT
Just as Kevin reached the second door and swiped the access card, the people giving chase finally caught up to him.
"Stop! Don't move or we'll shoot!"
"Put your hands above your head!"
Five armed men approached him step by step, with their guns pointed right at him.
Kevin ignored them. He had gone through the entire ordeal before and knew that these people would not shoot easily; he was more valuable alive than dead.
There is no use experimenting on a dead body. At least if he dies during an experiment, he can still provide some useful data.
As they slowly stepped closer, Kevin walked backwards through the door that had already been opened.
His eyes followed every minute movement of the guards, looking for any signs of aggression; he was ready to use Rebound Shield or Spatial Shift at a moment's notice.
Fortunately, they did not shoot and instead communicated his location to the rest of the teams. Waiting for others to cover all the exits, surround the mutant from all sides and finally catch the turtle in the jar.
Kevin paid close attention while running towards the last gate.
Rapid footsteps sounded from every direction, echoing loudly through the corridors.
When he reached the exit gate, his steps came to a halt. Kevin couldn't help but feel uneasy as he glanced at the unguarded gate at the end of the corridor.
Several footsteps approached from behind him. When he turned, he saw that there were dozens of armed men pointing their weapons at him.
Some of them, looking at him with amusement as they recognised him from his previous escape attempt.
Kevin tried swiping the access card at the door, but an error message sounded out.
"UNAUTHORISED ACCESS ATTEMPT!"
"BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION REQUIRED!"
Kevin was cornered. Behind him was a solid metal door. In front of him were a dozen armed men. He was truly stuck between a rock and a hard place, trapped like a turtle in a glass jar.
He finally knew why the guards didn't stop him from approaching the exit.
Looking at his futile actions, the faces of the dozens of surrounding armed men became even more playful, and some even couldn't help laughing.
Captain Kenneth "Kenny" Mitchell walked forwards with his hands behind his back and sighed once getting a close look at his face, "Why is it you again?"
"..."
"There's nowhere for you to run, boy. It's best that you stop resisting now."
He paused a few feet away from him and said, "Don't even think of using your abilities! If you even think of resisting..." he smiled and pointed towards the dozen men behind him, "...my men here will turn you into a sieve."
With a look of annoyance, he glanced at the boy. He had already captured him once and didn't feel like spending any more energy on this useless mutant. Kenny almost wanted the boy to do something stupid so he could get rid of the boy once and for all.
Kevin looked around, trying to remember as many faces as possible, and then a smile graced his lips, "I'd like to see you try."

Amid the unbelievable expressions of the group, his figure flickered and disappeared.
"This is impossible!"
Kenny's smile froze on his face. None of the people around could believe what their eyes were seeing.
The mutant disappeared?!
What kind of mutant ability is this?
They had received prior information about the mutant's ability, which involved light instead of teleportation. Unless...
Captain Kenny smiled a little, pulled out his weapon from the holster, and fired at the seemingly empty space in front of him.
Bang bang bang...
He expected cries of pain and spluttering of blood on the floor, thinking that #37 had simply turned invisible. But he was disappointed once again. His face changed slightly and turned red. "Open the door! That rat must have teleported outside!"
"He couldn't have gone too far!"

Kevin had already made a run towards the parking lot after making quick work of the two guards outside the door.
"Huhu..." Kevin panted as he ran as fast as he could.
The injuries may not have completely healed, and he had never exercised in his brief life. His heart was pounding like a drum, and his lungs burned like hell.
His eyes lit up when he saw two researchers talking not too far away.
Seeing him running towards him, the expressions on the two researchers' faces changed fast; they spun around to run.
But before they could take a few steps, a ray of black particles shot towards them.

Before they knew it, one researcher fell to the ground, clutching his leg.
"I will aim the next one at your head if you try to move."
Kevin warned the other person who was about to leave his friend and run. Feeling that there was only enough energy left in his body to use his ability seven more times, a frown came over Kevin's face.
Looking at the gaping hole in his friend's stomach, the researcher raised his hands and said, "Hey man, I'm just an intern. I know nothing."
"Your car keys, now!"
"Here! Take it, man, here's my wallet, here's my phone, take whatever you want..."
"Shut the fuck up or I'll blow your brains out!" Kevin said, pointing his fingers at the man's head.
The poor intern glanced at the finger gun and felt a little ridiculous, but then he looked at his companion crying' on the ground and swallowed the dry lump forming in his throat.
Kevin quickly snatched the car key from the man. "Which one is yours?"
"That one... the black Camry... well, it's really my brother's, but he doesn't really use it anymore... you see... he got promoted...and the company..."
Kevin couldn't help but wonder if the man had gone crazy. How was he still talking? Some people really love the sound of their own voice, don't they?
The sound of the large metal door opening came from the base and sounds of gunshots rang out.
"Ah"
The windbag researcher beside him screamed and fell to the ground.
Kevin's face changed wildly. He ducked and instantly shifted in space, leaving his original position.

Bang Bang, the sound of bullets hitting the ground where he had been a few instances ago, made him break out in a cold sweat.
This is not a movie, a TV show or a Broadway show. If he gets shot, he will probably fall to the ground and start wailing and not continue running like a video game protagonist.
Kevin, aware he wasn't Rambo reborn, decided to stop conserving energy and flashed a few more times.
