Chapter 26

Captain George, holding a megaphone, declared righteously, "Mutant fugitive Kevin, we know you're inside. Come out, we've surrounded the place. You can't escape!"

George sneered as he spoke, mocking the poor choice of the bar by the fugitive, which provided an environment perfect for their operation.

As he shouted, Irina directed the camera crew to start filming.

The scene was broadcast live, instantly capturing the attention of countless viewers.

Immediately, the audience brimmed with anticipation, eager to see the mutant fugitive battle the police and army, only to be defeated and captured.

Watching mutants felt uneasy, sharing a sense of doom.

Logan, prepared for combat as he stepped out of the bar, furrowed his brows, realizing they were not the target.

Wait...

If not them, then who? Kevin?

An image flashed through Logan's mind.

Otto and his companion had their suspicions, hesitating whether to leave.

Although they were mutants too, they had no personal connection to Kevin and saw no reason to risk so much.

After all, they were facing dozens of fully armed soldiers, and they doubted anyone could defeat them.

As they hesitated and Syd was about to use spatial teleportation to retreat, his expression suddenly changed.

Seeing that George's calls were unanswered, he signaled a few soldiers to open several boxes.

As the boxes opened, seven basin-sized black spiders stood up and quickly scurried towards the bar at an astonishing speed!

"Target locked!"

A cold mechanical voice announced.

They paused briefly, then with incredible accuracy, rushed towards Syd's direction!

Syd, ready to teleport, changed his expression slightly.

"Have they locked onto me?"

He quickly realized.

"These damned things, Sentinel robots?"

He recognized them as Sentinel robots, though he was unfamiliar with this specific model.

If it were the infamous Phantom Sentinels from the "Reversal of the Future," he would know the model.

Clearly, these spider-type Sentinels, like the Phantom Sentinels, also had the ability to identify and lock onto mutants.

"Trouble..."

He knew that without dealing with these Sentinel robots, even using spatial teleportation might lead them straight to him later.

"Why must they provoke me!"

Syd's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Since these people were so persistent, they should be prepared to face death!

The next second, facing the Sentinel spiders approaching within fifteen meters, he pointed his finger.

"Black Particles!"

[Black Particle Experience +1]

The black particles shot out like bullets, swiftly heading towards the Sentinel robots.

Sensing something, the Sentinel spiders' red eyes flickered, and they dodged slightly.

Although they moved quickly, some of their legs were still swept away, causing them to topple to the ground, unstable.

"What's this?"

Logan and others were confused and immediately turned to look towards the bar entrance.

The area around the bar was nearly empty by now; they moved closer and saw a familiar figure.

"Is that Kevin?"

Although Otto and his companion had anticipated this, they were still surprised to have their guess confirmed.

What had this young man done to warrant such an aggressive response from these people?

They were now even more inclined to leave the area.

Logan, however, reacted differently.

"Trouble!"

Logan spat out his cigar.

While he verbally expressed annoyance, seemingly uninterested in intervening, his actions spoke otherwise. His eyes gleamed with a bloody light, and he raised his hands, unleashing his adamantium claws.

He charged towards the Sentinel robots.

The Sentinels, having hidden after the black particle attack, now had their red lights flicker.

They had detected these three mutants earlier but had not targeted them since they were not their primary objective. However, they hadn't expected them to interfere now.

Clearly, this hindered their mission!

Soon, their programming issued a command to eliminate these three.

In an instant, three black Sentinel spiders encircled Logan.

With a swish, Logan's claw struck at a leaping Sentinel spider.

To his surprise, the creature was unexpectedly sturdy; even his adamantium claws only left deep marks, giving a sensation of resistance.

How had that youngster easily dismembered a spider's leg?

Logan's eyes showed his puzzlement.

Seeing Logan surrounded by Sentinel robots, Otto and his companion, who were about to leave, reluctantly joined the fray.

Otto's figure blurred, sprinting at the speed of sound towards one of the Sentinels and punched it.

With a bang, the Sentinel spider was sent flying, but he also howled in pain, clutching his swollen right hand.

"Shit, what kind of tough stuff is this!"

On the other side, Valentine burst out with white-blue electricity, striking a Sentinel spider attacking Logan with a bolt of lightning.

As they battled the Sentinel robots, Captain George and the spectators of the live broadcast also noticed the sudden appearance of these three mutants.

"Target has engaged, all units be aware!"

George first alerted the others, then picked up the megaphone to warn Logan and the others.

"Those three mutants, stop immediately, hands up and put your heads on your heads..."

After several warnings, seeing they were not heeding and the Sentinel robots might even be defeated, Captain George ordered, "Use tranquilizer guns on them."

Soldiers took out specialized tranquilizer guns and began firing at the distant trio.

The three were quickly at a disadvantage, risking being hit and then collapsing, unable to move.

As they fell into a difficult position, the audience began commenting.

"These three are impressive!"

"Such speed, and another one can emit lightning, the Sentinel robots are losing, these mutants are amazing!"

"The big guy with claws is also formidable, he took down a Sentinel robot with one swipe!"

After their praise, they began to predict their defeat.

"But now they're going to lose, haha..."

"Yes, look how frantic they are; I told you, no mutant can defeat so many soldiers, just as expected..."

Just as Logan and the others felt somewhat desperate, and the audience enjoyed the scene, a figure appeared in the camera's view, exposed to everyone's sight.
