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

"call out!"

Controlling two daggers and wiping off the necks of two guards in a sneak attack, George came to a fork in the road.

According to what he had learned and overheard secretly during this period, the right side of the forked road was the canteen, and beyond the canteen was the room where the mutant children were kept, and the left side 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 get a car to escape.

Once you drive to a crowded urban area, the sky is high and the birds can fly.

With those mutant children attracting firepower, there probably won't be many people chasing him later.

"ah!!!"

Just as he was about to step towards the left side of the forked road, a miserable cry sounded from the depths of the right forked road. It was an immature voice, the voice of a child.

And this scream also made George lower his raised foot again.

"It has nothing to do with me. I have no relatives or friends. There is no need to take risks for people I don't know. They can escape in the end anyway."

After hesitating for a moment, he raised his foot again and prepared to step to the left.

"ah!!!"

Another scream sounded, it was another child.

There were a total of fifty mutant children in the entire experimental base, and according to what he saw in the movie, only less than twenty escaped in the end, including X-24 Little Wolf Girl.

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

"Although they are just children now, if they grow up in the future, they will be good fighting forces. If they can be recruited, they will have an extra layer of protection in this dangerous Marvel world.

Besides, wealth can be gained through risk, and for the sake of the future, it is worth taking some risks now.

If it's really too dangerous, it's not too late to run away then. "

As soon as his thoughts changed, George moved his foot that was originally going to be on the left side to the right side.

In fact, at this moment, he didn't know in his heart whether his current choice was really because of the reason he just thought of, or simply because of the lives of the more than 20 children.

People are like this sometimes. No one knows what choice they will make when the time comes.

Some people think they are selfish, but at critical moments they choose to sacrifice themselves to save others.

And some people talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but in the end they choose to be the first to escape.

George thinks he is not a good person, but he is not a bad person either. He is a normal person whose moral level is at the average level of human beings.

If he were asked to sacrifice himself to save others, he wouldn't be able to do it, but if he could risk saving others, especially a group of children, without sacrificing himself, then he thought maybe he could give it a try.

"Lady, Will, Ellie."

In the cafeteria, Gabriela looked at the three children who were shot dead for stopping the pursuers, and tears flowed from her eyes again.

After understanding that the purpose of this genetic modification research institute was not to research specific drugs to cure cancer, but to cultivate mutant killers, she and several equally kind-hearted colleagues decided to secretly escape with these poor children. .

But before the plan could be implemented, the senior management of the laboratory 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 holding cold firearms.

Just by escaping to the cafeteria, several of her colleagues had been killed for covering up the situation, and more than a dozen of the fifty children had been killed. If she wanted to actually escape later, it was estimated that more people would die.

"Lola!"

At this time, seeing X-23, the strongest among the children, after killing six people in a row, his limbs were also caught and fixed in mid-air, unable to break free. Gabriela pulled out the body of the guard next to her. with a submachine gun and said to the children behind him:

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

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

After receiving their notification, they had already driven their car to the door to pick them up.

"What about you and Laura?"

The slightly older mutant boy in the lead had a worried look on his face.

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

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

Gabriela told the boy in a gentle tone, then held a submachine gun and fired wildly at the opposite side, intending to create an opportunity for the children to escape.

Her shooting skills were not good, but this burst of random shooting also caused the guards who were controlling the little wolf girl to panic, causing one of the little wolf girl's feet to break free, and fiercely used the Adamantium alloy wolf claw on that foot. Inserted into a guard's eye, temporarily freed from restraints.

However, it was obvious that more guards had arrived on the other side of the passage.

Rikudo gritted his teeth when he saw this, and ran towards the back corridor with his unrelated brothers and sisters.

Not long after escaping from the canteen, he was stopped by four guards with firearms in the passage.

"Everyone come together!"

They were scared inside, but they still mustered up the courage and planned to fight to the death with the four guards and escape from here.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

However, before their abilities were activated, two of the guards suddenly fell to the ground with blood gushing out of their necks. The remaining two guards turned around in a hurry, but were greeted by two bullets.

"Are you all right?"

George dealt with four guards, and looked at the stunned children in front of him, and he was slightly relieved.

There were still 34 children alive in front of him, and he came in time.

"No. 757!"

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

"Aunt Gabriela and Laura are still in the cafeteria"

"I have cleared all the guards behind, you continue to escape, I will save them."

George did not hesitate, and after giving instructions, he threw away the submachine gun in his hand, replaced it with the two guns of the guards on the ground, and rushed to the cafeteria.

"So cruel?"

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

That posture frightened the besieging guards.

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

Gabriela, who was next to him, had used up all her bullets and was suppressed behind the bunker, so she could not help at all.

"It's time to show your real skills!"

At this moment, it was obviously not enough to just control the dagger to kill the enemy. He did not have the self-healing ability to be fearless of so many guns on the other side.

If he could not kill the opponent at the fastest speed, what awaited him was ruthless firepower coverage.

So George set up two submachine guns, attached all the control of magnetic force to the bullets in the magazine, and began to output crazily.

After the bullets were fired, they did not fly according to the original trajectory, but were affected by the magnetic force and turned into arcs, accurately hitting the eyebrows of all the guards.

The shooting speed of the submachine gun and the accuracy of the sniper rifle were the trump cards that really dared to come to help.
