American comics started with Level 5 mutants

Chapter 12 Combat

At that moment, Su Yao felt a murderous intent.

At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder if he had been too cold-blooded, taking lives so casually.

But he quickly put that aside.

Those people definitely came with murderous intent. Besides, if he were captured and taken back, he would also face death!

Since they're going to take his life, then these people won't get away with it either!

Of course, running away might allow him to hide for a short time, but that wasn't something he was considering.

If the root cause isn't addressed, how long can we hide? We'll be found sooner or later.

Only by inflicting heavy losses on these people can we truly buy them some time.

Su Yao quickly weighed the pros and cons.

His eyes quickly hardened.

Just like I thought before, if those people want his life, then they won't get away with it either!

As for defeating them and letting them leave unharmed, he never even considered it.

Should we let them go back to recuperate, and then continue to deal with him?

Involuntarily, images of mutant behavior surfaced in Su Yao's mind.

Just as he finished thinking it over and made his decision, the ten armed men slowly approached.

A deep, resonant voice, amplified by a loudspeaker, reached Su Yao's ears.

"Mutant suspect Kevin, we know you're hiding nearby. Come out now, or we'll attack."

Captain George held a megaphone in his right hand, warning the mutant criminal named Kevin while he and his team vigilantly watched the house dozens of meters away.

Besides Su Yao and his group, the residents hiding in the nearby houses were also very nervous and afraid, fearing that the battle would affect them.

Of course, some of them are just curious and fearless.

Some people opened their windows to look out from afar, while others stood on their balconies to watch. Some even took photos with their cameras, hoping to generate some buzz and traffic.

The residents were whispering among themselves, and in one of the small houses, a middle-aged man and a little girl were talking.

"Mutants?"

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Keep your voice down, the police are arresting bad guys!"

"Oh, so Dad, who will win?"

"That's obvious. The police will definitely win. No matter how powerful mutants are, they're no match for the police. The police have more people and guns. How can the mutants possibly win?"

Not only did the father and daughter think this way, but anyone who witnessed this scene had a similar thought at this moment, believing that the mutant suspect would be arrested soon.

Moreover, this wasn't the first time they'd seen mutants captured, and they'd never seen a mutant win. At best, they'd surrender and be captured; at worst, they'd lose their lives.

Some people prayed that the mutant wouldn't resist, as they didn't want any deaths nearby. Others were excited and expectant, hoping to see the police shoot and kill the mutant criminal.

From afar, Chris watched this scene and sighed inwardly.

He thought that if he could help, he should, and try his best to let the child escape.

In his mind, he didn't think the child could win; whether he could escape was also a question.

After all, how can a mutant who only absorbs sunlight and has melee abilities fight against a fully armed person?

If you're unarmed, you might have a chance, but with firearms, any act of resistance will result in you being shot dead from a distance!

Seeing that the mutant suspect still hadn't come out, Captain George, dressed in black, frowned and continued shouting impatiently.

"The mutant suspect inside, according to our investigation, you have abused your powers, causing death. This is a serious crime, and the situation is very grave!"

"Come out and come back with us now, and we might treat you leniently..."

Listening to the nagging in his ear, Su Yao was speechless.

Go back with them? Go back to your death?

He said all those nice things, but if he weren't a mutant, hadn't experienced those terrible things, and were just an ordinary person, he might actually believe it. Now…

He believed that going back with them would save him even legal fees; they would simply vanish into thin air!

"Why aren't these people coming closer?"

Looking at the distance of several dozen meters between them, Su Yao couldn't help but frown.

If it weren't for the need to wait for them to get closer so as to conserve the energy used for spatial transfer, I wouldn't bother wasting my breath talking to these people.

After a long while, seeing that they had wasted their breath and the mutant suspect still showed no intention of coming out, not even uttering a word, the ten armed men's eyes turned cold.

"If you still don't come out, we'll have no choice but to arrest you by force. Please do not resist, or you will face the consequences..."

Captain George made a final, polite remark, also intended for the surrounding residents, indicating that they had followed the proper procedures.

If this mutant suspect still doesn't come out after being warned, then if he gets accidentally killed, it's not their fault!

This time, they have also received permission from above that if the mutant suspect puts up a stubborn resistance, there will be no big deal if they are accidentally killed.

"We are in position and the engagement is expected to begin."

"Daisy, you help pinpoint the suspect's location..." Captain George said into his headset.

Meanwhile, his team members also began their operation, with several of them wearing thermal imaging devices.

Originally, it was already very dark due to the setting sun, making it difficult to find the suspect. Now, under the thermal imaging, the mutant suspect has no chance of hiding!

They moved step by step toward the house, each of them exuding confidence.

They had received information about the mutant and had even watched videos of him demonstrating his abilities; they couldn't fathom how they could have lost.

As long as they maintain the right distance, given the mutant's weak abilities, they don't believe he'll have a chance to fight back!

They even had to worry that they might accidentally fire a few extra shots and kill the kid.

So at this moment, their faces were filled with confidence, feeling that the goddess of victory was already beckoning to them.

After getting within a dozen meters, they stopped approaching. A burly man named Brandon pulled a tear gas canister from his waist and threw it near the house without saying a word.

With this tear gas canister, they didn't believe the mutant suspect could still hide!

Everyone gripped their guns tightly, their eyes fixed on every corner of the room, ready to fire at the moment the suspect showed his face.

In the distance, Chris also began to tense up, preparing to make his move.

However, the result was somewhat unexpected!

Noticing the object being thrown at him, Su Yao didn't wait for it to trigger; he frowned and instantly teleported away from his original position.

In an instant, his figure appeared within a few meters of George and the others.
