Chapter 13:
This close, even in the dim light, both sides could clearly see each other's faces.
Syd Castell's face was filled with coldness, while the confidence on George and his team's faces vanished, replaced by shock and astonishment.
What happened, how did the mutant suspect appear so close? Not just them, Chris, who was watching from a distance and about to intervene, was also stunned.
His face, covered with a scruffy beard, was full of confusion, not understanding what had happened.
Instantaneous movement? The kid had moved instantly in front of them?
"Does he have that ability?" Chris exclaimed in surprise.
He suddenly realized that he might have underestimated the kid.
Not only was he surprised, but the watching residents and passersby also covered their mouths in shock.
At that moment.
"Not good, there's been a mistake in the intelligence!" Captain George quickly realized and was about to raise his gun to shoot.
Unfortunately, before he could shoot, Syd flickered again to their side, then raised his right hand and pointed at them.
Dark ripples emanated from his finger, shooting towards them at a rapid pace.
"Ah..."
"Captain, save me..."
"Oh God..."
They saw egg-sized black particles, three in a row, pass through three armed personnel who couldn't dodge in time!
[Black Particle Experience +1]
Whether it was their black vests or clothes, nothing could stop it; they were instantly devoured and perforated! In an instant, they collapsed to the ground, clutching the pierced areas.
Having a portion of their flesh and internal organs devoured by the black particles, even these tough men couldn't endure and began to wail in pain.
Unless treated within a few minutes, they were certain to die! Compared to the previous finger-sized black particles, now, if the black particles hit an internal organ, death was almost certain! Using the faint light to look at the black particles shot out, both Chris and the watching residents were stunned.
But while they were stunned, George and his team did not hesitate. They immediately scattered, and Captain George anxiously shouted, "Andy, Michael, Henry!"
Seeing them bleeding profusely on the ground in dire straits, he yelled angrily, "Vicious kid!" "Vicious, huh..."

Syd dodged the incoming bullets with another space transfer, calmly saying, "I'm just returning what you were planning to do to me."
Seeing him dodge again, George temporarily stopped his team from shooting again.
"Do you know what you're doing, attacking government personnel like this, what awaits you is..."
"Captain, stop talking, kill this brat, avenge Andy!"
"You're doomed, you disgusting freak, wait for the army to hunt you down!"
While Syd kept an eye on their movements, he was about to retort when a long-lost alert sounded in his ear.
[In a corner you cannot see, a hidden hunter has taken aim at you, seemingly ready to strike you down, you...]
[Space Transfer Experience +1]
Without a second thought, Syd teleported away from his original position.
Thud! A bullet deeply penetrated the ground.
"Sniper, are there others?" Syd's heart chilled, and he looked around cautiously, teleporting again to be safe.
After checking the face of the one who had been speaking, and seeing him surprised that Syd had managed to dodge, Syd didn't dare stay longer, not knowing when the hidden sniper might strike again.
On his way, he stretched out his hand towards the one who seemed to be the captain.
[Black Particle Experience +1]
However, to his surprise, the black particles were dodged by the captain with a side-step.
Clearly, black particles, just like bullets, could be dodged if one was prepared in advance. Even laser eyes could be dodged, and his black particles were even slower, making it normal to be dodged.
"My energy is running low..." he frowned.
After practicing with the black particles, because it was dark, he hadn't recovered much energy, and the level two black particles were consuming a lot of energy. Now he was barely
holding on.
With a sniper still around, he wasn't sure he could take these people down with the remaining energy. A misstep could cost him his life, and he wasn't about to risk it.
He shot three more black particles at George and his men, then teleported away without
looking back.

Screams of agony followed from behind.
Thud, thud, bullets hit where he had been standing, including pistol and sniper rifle bullets.
Syd didn't bother with those, feeling the energy for four more space transfers within him, he used three in quick succession, moving dozens of meters away to where they couldn't see him.

Syd gasped for air, dragging his weakened body towards a dark alley.
As he ran, he quickly reviewed the course of the battle and shook his head.
"The energy inside me is still too low. It's a good thing there were only about a dozen of them. If there had been a hundred, even if they just stood there and let me kill them, I
probably couldn't finish them off, right?"
Without his powers, anyone could easily defeat him given his current battered state! In the end, it all came down to having too little energy. If he had more energy, he could have easily taken down these ten people, even the sniper behind them! With that thought, his desire to enhance his strength grew even stronger.
"Just give me a little time..."
This thought echoed in his mind as he disappeared into the shadows of the dark alley.
In the distance, George and his men did not pursue, and were currently dealing with the
aftermath.
"Andy, Michael... wake up!"
The remaining five people constantly called out to the injured lying on the ground.
Unfortunately, no matter how much they shouted, the responses from those pale-faced, blood-soaked teammates were very weak, some even fainting from shock.
Seeing the dire state of his teammates, a murderous intent flashed in Captain George's eyes,
"That damn mutant freak!"
"You wait, next time..."
Next time, there would definitely be more people rounding up that mutant freak, and he would surely be part of that manhunt! Captain George's face showed a determined look.
At the same time, he also felt somewhat incredulous.
"Why... why was the intelligence wrong?"
The other four survivors, also full of doubt, shared Captain George's question. They simply couldn't believe what they had just witnessed.
They were incredulous on this side, while many watching residents and Chris in the distance
were stunned.
