Just watching the video made Alessandro shiver, feeling a deep pressure.
But as he watched, his eyes suddenly lit up. "This is..."
In the footage, the light did not cover all areas. Scattered soldiers, onlookers, and even those mutants were not covered...
What does this mean?
Alessandro felt excited.
He believed that if the boy could do it, he would definitely kill everyone, especially those mutants!
But he didn't. The light remained fixed within a certain range, not covering them. The meaning was clear!
The boy had limits, and it was already apparent!
Perhaps previous times it might have been a disguise, but this time it was definitely not!
Especially the next scene in the video further confirmed his thoughts.
The boy was floating in the air and almost got shot by a soldier's gun. If it weren't for the black liquid that appeared to help block it, he would definitely have been shot!
Afterward, his act of killing the soldier seemed like a bluff. If the soldiers had fired more shots or if those mutants had acted, the boy would definitely be dead!
"Good, good, good!"
Alessandro's smile returned.
The boy wasn't invincible after all. He was human, with human limits.
With this video, he had basically figured out the boy's real limits.
However...
This time, a hundred soldiers died, along with the loss of so many resources. Even the congressman behind him couldn't cover for him now.
Not to mention, he wanted to continue sending people to deal with the boy.
But...
Alessandro's eyes deepened.
Allowing Irina to broadcast the show was definitely the right move.
Under public pressure and his own reputation, the government had no choice but to continue sending troops and resources!
"Does that boy think he's up against me?"
"No, he's up against all of America!"
Alessandro laughed lightly.
A mere mutant wants to stand against the mighty United States?
Not to mention the numerous armed soldiers, even things like tactical nuclear missiles could teach that boy a lesson!
He's courting death!
Alessandro smiled, already envisioning the boy's ultimate fate.
The end was either capture or death, with no third possibility!
Of course, even though the government would act, his own situation wouldn't be great either.
"Heh, I'll have to offer them some benefits," Alessandro sneered.
Suddenly, an idea struck him, and his eyes lit up.
"That boy..."
He focused on Marco and asked, "Did you find any of the boy's body tissue?"
"Sir, are you going to..." Marco understood immediately.
"Use that Kevin's cells for experiments?"
As a base known for experiments, what else could it be?
"Yes," Alessandro nodded, smiling. "The boy is so powerful; his body must be special. If we obtain his tissues, we can certainly study something useful."
"And that boy has severe cancer. The fact that he's still alive suggests his body is unique..."
"If we discover something, that boy won't be able to escape."
"He will become our lab's test subject!"
Marco's eyes brightened with anticipation for that scene.
Alessandro's smile widened.
The Sentinel robots were almost fully developed. Soon...
He couldn't wait to see the boy either captured or dead in the near future.
...
While Alessandro planned at the 23rd base, Irina was troubled.
"Why does this always happen to me?"
Dressed in blue, Irina's tone was full of complaints.
The government had failed again!
How could she explain this to the viewers?
Should she tell the truth?
Irina feared that angry viewers might burn her house down.
Fortunately, her boss called her shortly after, instructing her to cover up the incident as best as possible.
Two and a half hours later...
Wolverine and his group, searching for shelter from the rain, paused and looked at the large screen in the square.
The screen showed a familiar woman—Irina.
Wearing blue shorts and a shirt, she stood on stage with a smile. "Good afternoon, viewers. I'm your old friend, Irina."
"Today, I bring you unfortunate news. Due to sudden events, the authorities have temporarily canceled the operation to capture the mutant fugitive. They will resume once they are better prepared."
Hearing her words, not only were Wolverine and his group stunned, but the viewers, who were eagerly awaiting the capture of the mutant Kevin, were also stunned and furious.
"Damn you, Irina! You trash host, you're the worst I've ever seen!"
"Deceiving us?!"
As the viewers fumed, Irina quickly explained, "Please don't misunderstand. The operation hasn't been canceled, just postponed."
"To ensure success, the authorities have requested more weapons and manpower, which takes time to organize. So, the preparation will take longer."
"So, don't worry. The operation will resume soon and will not fail!"
Hearing this, American viewers began to believe her.
At the same time, they became even more excited about the upcoming operation.
With such thorough preparation, the mutant boy would surely be captured!
Their interest was reignited, eagerly anticipating the next, more prepared operation.
On the street.
Wolverine and his group exchanged worried and puzzled glances.
Worried about the more severe capture operation, and puzzled by a vague sense of something being off.
"Let's investigate," Otto suggested.
The others nodded in agreement.
As they took action, the government was also busy covering up traces and preventing news leaks.
...
Thunder roared!
The sky was dark with heavy rain pouring down.
"In this weather, how long will it take to collect energy points?"
Syd shook his head.
After leaving the battlefield, he had planned to continue collecting energy points today and then proceed with the unlocking progress to see what would happen next.
