Chapter 12: Choice, to save or not to save?

"call out!"

Controlling two daggers, George sneakily killed two guards by the neck and came to a fork in the road.

According to his understanding and the information he had overheard during this period, the cafeteria was on the right side of the fork in the road, and beyond the cafeteria was the room where the mutant children were imprisoned. On the left was the road leading outside the laboratory.

If he walked to the left at this time, with his current strength, he would most likely be able to sneak out safely and then get a car to escape.

Once you drive to a crowded area in the city, the sky is high and the birds fly freely.

With that group of mutant children attracting fire, there probably won't be many people coming to hunt him down later.

"ah!!!"

Just as he was about to step to the left of this fork in the road, a miserable cry came from deep in the right fork. It was a childish voice, the voice of a child.

The scream made George put his raised foot down again.

"Alas, it seems that I still can't be so rational and cruel after all."

After hesitating for a moment, he turned and walked to the right.

There were a total of fifty mutant children in the entire experimental base, and according to what he saw in the movie, in the end only less than twenty of them escaped, including X-23 Little Wolf Girl.

In other words, more than thirty mutant children died in this escape.

George thinks he is not a good person, but not a bad person either. He is just a normal person with an average moral level.

Reason told him that in the current situation, the safest thing to do was to let the group of children attract fire while he escaped quietly.

But humans are not machines, how can they be so rational?

If the people screaming just now were a group of adults, then he would have been cruel and ignored them, since they had no relatives or friends anyway.

But after all, they were all poor kids, and he could see them every day. Although he had never talked to them, he knew them all.

But he also thought very clearly. If he could save the person, he would save him. If he couldn't save him, he would run away. He still had to put his own life first.

"Lady, Weir, Ellie."

In the cafeteria, Gabriela looked at the three children who were shot for stopping the pursuers, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

After realizing that the purpose of this genetic modification research institute was not to research a cure for cancer but to train mutant killers, she and several equally kind-hearted colleagues decided to secretly take these poor children away.

However, before the plan was implemented, the laboratory's top management had already decided to execute these children collectively.

For this reason, they had to escape early, but even though the children had various magical abilities, they were no match for the experienced guards armed with cold guns.

Just by escaping to the cafeteria, several of her colleagues were killed for providing cover, and more than a dozen of the fifty children were also killed. If they wanted to really escape later, even more people would probably die.

"Laura!"

At this time, seeing that X-23, the strongest among the children, was also caught by his limbs and fixed in mid-air after killing six people in a row, Gabriela pulled out the submachine gun from the body of the guard next to her and said to the children behind her:

"You go to the door and Aunt Isa will take you to your destination."

Isa is the last colleague still alive. She is usually responsible for driving a large truck to transport daily necessities purchased from the city to the base.

After receiving their notification, we drove the car to the door to meet them.

"What about you and Laura?"

The mutant boy who was a little older and in the lead had a worried look on his face.

Although they have been living in the laboratory and have no common sense, they are not stupid.

"Ricotto, you are the oldest among them. I leave them all to you. Take them to the destination and wait for me there. I will definitely bring Laura to find you."

Gabriela gently instructed the boy, then fired wildly at the opposite side with a submachine gun, trying to create a chance for the children to escape.

Her shooting skills were not good, but this burst of random shooting also made the guards who were controlling the little wolf girl panic, causing one of the little wolf girl's feet to break free from the restraints. She fiercely inserted the adamantium wolf claw on that foot into the eye of a guard, temporarily breaking free from the restraints.

However, it was obvious that more guards had rushed over to the other side of the passage.

Seeing this, Rickdo gritted his teeth and ran to the back corridor with these non-blood-related brothers and sisters.

But just after escaping from the cafeteria, he was stopped by four armed guards in the corridor.

"Everyone, come together!"

Although they were terrified, they still mustered up their courage and planned to fight to the death with the four guards in order to escape.

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

However, before they could activate their abilities, two of the guards suddenly fell to the ground with blood spurting from their necks. The remaining two guards turned around hurriedly, but were greeted by two bullets.

"Are you all right?"

George dealt with the four guards and looked at the dazed children in front of him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

There were still thirty-four children alive, so he arrived in time.

"Number 757!"

When Rickdo found out that the one who saved them was the Mutant No. 757 who never spoke, he was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately said anxiously:

"Aunt Gabriela and Laura are still in the cafeteria."

"I have cleared out the guards at the back. You continue to flee and I will go rescue them."

George didn't hesitate. After giving instructions, he threw away the spent submachine gun in his hand, replaced it with the two guns of the guards on the ground, and rushed to the cafeteria.

"So brutal?"

As soon as he rushed into the cafeteria, he saw the little wolf girl riding on the neck of a guard and punching his head, drying out his brains.

That posture frightened the besieging guards.

But after all, he was too thin and was suppressed by bullets from the guards who reacted quickly. Although he could not be killed due to his self-healing ability, he was still shot down from the air and retreated repeatedly.

Gabriela, who was standing next to her, had run out of bullets and was pinned down behind a bunker, so she was of no help at all.

"Fuck!"

At this moment, it is obviously no longer possible to kill the enemy by just controlling the dagger. He does not have the self-healing ability to be fearless against so many guns of the enemy.

If he cannot kill all the enemies as quickly as possible, what awaits him is ruthless firepower.

So George set up two submachine guns, attached all his control over magnetism to the bullets in the magazines, and started firing like crazy.

After being fired, the bullets did not fly along their original trajectories, but were transformed into arcs by magnetic force and shot towards the vital positions of the guards as much as possible.

The firing speed of a submachine gun is close to the accuracy of a sniper rifle, and this is the real reason why he dared to come and help.
