"Oh no!"
Donald reacted instantly, retreating. He recognized that serum, for it was precisely what their experimental base had developed—a potion specifically designed to temporarily boost mutant abilities.
Once Wolverine injected it, his power would return to its peak before the serum wore off.
Wolverine at his peak was undeniably the most terrifying killer.
"Sniper, target Wolverine!"
However, the reply over the walkie-talkie was:
"X-23 and Subject 757 sighted. They're heading my way."
"Release X-24 to deal with them. You continue to snipe Wolverine."
Donald ordered the sniper after having his subordinates take over.
He didn't know how X-23 and Subject 757 had escaped their tight encirclement so silently, but it didn't matter. Unleashing X-24 would definitely take care of both of them.
According to experimental data, X-23 was no match for X-24, and no matter how accurate Subject 757's marksmanship was, it couldn't harm X-24. He was completely countered.
Right now, the most critical issue was Wolverine, who had recovered to his peak after injecting the serum. In just a few moments, amidst heavy encirclement and a hail of bullets, he had already killed ten of their elite subordinates.
If they didn't use the sniper rifle to restrict his movements, he and everyone else remaining might be harvested by Wolverine.
No wonder the boss was so fond of Wolverine.
"Understood!"
With a gunshot from the sniper, Wolverine was hit and knocked down. The others immediately swarmed him, suppressing him with bullets to prevent him from getting up.
On the other side, George was sprinting towards the bus with the little wolf girl.
They hadn't escaped from the tight encirclement; they had left the factory in advance, before the encirclement was complete, and hidden behind nearby obstacles.
Once the opponent's attention was fully drawn to Wolverine, they quietly rushed towards the vehicle clearly holding X-24.
As long as they could deal with X-24 beforehand, they would have won more than half of this battle.
However, what he hadn't expected was that the opponent would take them so seriously, even bringing a sniper—something that hadn't appeared in the movie.
Fortunately, just in case, he had brought the formidable little wolf girl.
If the sniper aimed at him, well, he would just hold up the little wolf girl as a shield first.
After all, with the little wolf girl's healing factor, even if she was shot by a sniper rifle, she wouldn't be killed.
Although it seemed cruel, if it truly came to that point, there was no other choice.
This was a fight for survival. If they failed, it wouldn't just be him dying, but everyone, including those thirty-odd mutant children.
The little wolf girl's body was too small to cover his entire body. He could only choose to hold her up to shield his upper body, which had more vital organs. His lower body's furiously running legs wouldn't be as easy to hit.
However, he possessed wizarding blood, giving him astonishing vitality. Even if he accidentally took a bullet, as long as it wasn't a vital spot, he wouldn't easily die.
Once he got closer, he could influence the sniper. Currently, he couldn't change the trajectory of sniper rifle bullets, but he could influence the sniper rifle itself, causing the gun to shake and preventing accurate aim.
In reality, the situation was better than he had anticipated. The sniper ultimately didn't turn the gun towards them, but continued to aim at the factory. Clearly, Wolverine had drawn enough attention for them.
However, they weren't completely ignored; the fiercely aggressive X-24 was released.
"Good timing!"
Seeing the bus's rear door open and Wolverine's clone, X-24, leap out, roaring and charging towards them, George couldn't help but inwardly rejoice.
This move by the opponent was precisely what he wanted.
At the same time, four elite soldiers also disembarked from the bus with X-24. However, they didn't come with X-24. Instead, they set up a camera, seemingly intending to record X-24's combat.
In truth, these soldiers knew how terrifying X-24 was and didn't believe X-23 and Subject 757 could win.
Recording X-24's combat video was the big boss's requirement, as this was also a live combat test for X-24, and video analysis would certainly be needed afterward.
As he got closer and closer to X-24, George grabbed the little wolf girl, then raised his hand, took out his submachine gun, and fired two shots at X-24.
He didn't immediately use the adamantium bullet because if he killed X-24 now, the sniper would instantly react, and everyone else would concentrate their attacks on him.
That would be dangerous.
Unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to use the little wolf girl as a shield.
So he needed to get as close as possible while the opponent's guard was down. Once the distance reached his ability range, then he, the sharpshooter, would have room to perform.
Bang! Bang!
Two bullets flew directly towards X-24's eyes. Bullets couldn't kill X-24, but it would take time for his eyes to heal after being injured.
Seeing George fire at him, X-24 immediately raised his arms to block.
Unfortunately, George's bullets weren't straight. Before hitting X-24's arm, they suddenly curved, ultimately striking X-24's eyes precisely.
X-24's eyeballs burst, and he immediately let out a scream and stopped.
His eyeballs could regenerate, but the pain would be no less.
"You're it, little wolf girl!"
Taking advantage of X-24's eyes not yet having recovered, George threw the little wolf girl with all his might.
"Go take out that sniper."
The little wolf girl flew over X-24's head, landed in a tactical roll, and immediately charged towards the sniper and the four soldiers by the bus without hesitation.
By this time, X-24's eyeballs had recovered. He immediately lunged at George with a claw, his speed so great that George had no time to react.
Slash!
Although George retreated in time, the submachine gun in his hand was still split in half by X-24's claw.
Immediately, the second claw came for George's neck.
"He's truly ferocious."
George gasped, then his magnetic power fully unleashed, concentrating on X-24's arm.
While he wasn't Magneto, who could easily manipulate Wolverine, whose body was filled with adamantium, the force of dozens of pounds applied to X-24's arm would definitely have a significant impact.
Indeed, due to the magnetic force, X-24's arm suddenly paused, allowing George to dodge again.
George didn't linger in battle, seizing the opportunity to get around X-24 and also charge towards the bus.
Feeling that George had toyed with him, X-24 instantly became enraged, turned around, and continued to pursue George.
George, however, refused to meet him head-on. He knew he couldn't win a direct confrontation. He simply kept using magnetism to affect X-24's limbs, cleverly dodging X-24's attacks again and again, while continuously moving closer to the bus.
There was no other way. He had only gained his abilities for too short a time. Even with the enhancement from his wizarding blood, they weren't yet fully developed.
Originally, his body's maximum magnetic control was around one hundred pounds of force, and he could only use ten pounds at first. Now, with the wizarding blood, he could use several tens of pounds.
If he were given a few more years to adapt, his fully developed strength could probably reach hundreds of pounds of force.
Hundreds of pounds, enough to lift X-24 into the air and torment him however he pleased.
Or, if he studied magic for a bit longer, a simple Stunner could easily knock him out.
In short, the future was promising, but he couldn't do that now; he could only operate this way.
