Chapter 243 Chapter 402 Chapter 403 Speed ​​of Life and Death

In the dark forest, three frightened mutant teenagers followed X-23. With the help of their night vision ability, they held each other's hands and moved forward with difficulty on the rugged mountain road.

But soon, the faint barking of dogs and the roar of vehicle engines coming closer and closer were heard from behind.

"Oh no, they're catching up..."

A mutant girl was so frightened that she screamed, but was immediately stopped by X-23, "Shut up, you'll only make them find us faster... Everyone, don't stop, keep running up the mountain, someone will come to rescue us."

"Laura, will [Wolverine] really come to save us?"

Another mutant boy asked uncertainly, "But even if he wants to come and save us, he's so far away from us. I'm afraid by the time he gets here, we'll have been killed, right?"

"Don't worry, he will come."

A look of certainty appeared on X-23's childish face. "Even though Logan...my dad usually looks like a big jerk, he will definitely find a way to save us."

The teenagers suddenly fell into silence.

Even a few people did not quite believe that such a miracle would happen.

But now, they can only place their last glimmer of hope on Wolverine.

But the good times didn't last long.

A few minutes later, before they had even climbed over the hill, more than a dozen swift hunting dogs caught up with them from behind.

These hounds seemed to have all been specially trained and knew how to work as a team.

So after catching up with X-23 and the other four, they did not attack them directly. Instead, they surrounded them first. Then, they bared their fangs and made an attacking gesture while advancing slowly from different directions, constantly compressing the space for them to move inward.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. We can handle them."

X-23 tried his best to remain calm and he and the other three people leaned against a large tree with their backs to each other to avoid being attacked from both sides.

However, due to their hasty escape, except for X-23 who had the night vision ability of a wild beast, the other three were like blind people in this pitch-black environment. They could only roughly judge the location of the hounds based on the low growls of the hounds around them.

Although they all possess powerful mutant abilities, these abilities have yet to be developed. Secondly, they are still a group of mentally immature children after all, and have never experienced the current situation before.

So except for X-23, the other three were all trembling with fear. Apart from holding their heads and screaming, they had no intention of fighting at all.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

When the four people's range of activities was compressed to a certain extent, several hunting dogs finally couldn't resist the urge to hunt and immediately attacked them.

puff-

X-23 was the first to react. Four Adamantium Wolf Claws popped out from his fists and directly pierced the heads of two hounds that flew towards his companions.

“Ahhh, don’t bite me…Laura, help!!”

In another direction, a thin mutant girl was knocked to the ground by a hound, and its sharp fangs bit her thigh. Then, it cooperated with another hound to drag her towards the woods outside.

"Roar--"

X-23 let out a wolf cub-like, yet menacing roar, then rushed forward to rescue his companion.

But as soon as she made a move, she was stopped by four hounds that suddenly rushed out.

These hounds seemed to be very afraid of the wolf claws on her hands, so they did not launch an attack rashly, but kept circling behind her, trying to launch a sneak attack from the blind spot.

Although X-23 has a powerful self-healing ability comparable to that of Wolverine, he can recover from injuries at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, apart from the six [Adamantium Wolf Claws] on her hands and feet, the bones in her body are no different from those of an ordinary person, so if her neck is bitten directly, she will still die.

Although the little wolf girl's reaction speed is much faster than that of ordinary people, there is still a big gap in her movement speed compared to that of real wild beasts.

Therefore, once the hound does not attack directly from the front, but adopts the tactics of grappling and harassment, her advantages will not be brought into play at all.

"Laura, save me..."

"Help me, I don't want to die, ah...don't bite me, it hurts!"

There were shrill screams coming from the darkness.

While X-23 was confronting the four hounds, the other three mutant teenagers had all been dragged into the darkness by the other hounds.

Although they successfully used their mutant abilities to kill several hounds in a panic, they were soon attacked by the remaining hounds who were aroused by their ferocity and had their throats and limbs bitten off.

"Ah ah ah..."

Watching his companions die one after another, unable to do anything, X-23 let out a howl of grief and anger, and then rushed towards the hounds surrounding them like a madman.

But the hounds were not prepared to confront her head-on. Instead, they used more flexible movements to continuously attack her from behind.

In just a few moves, he successfully dragged X-23 to the ground.

The other hunting dogs were like a pack of hyenas on the hunt. They took advantage of the situation and kept biting the little wolf girl's back. Some even tore off a large piece of flesh from her delicate thighs.

But with the help of its self-healing ability, the wound quickly recovered.

However, the psychological trauma caused to X-23 by such torture is far more than just physical pain.

puff-

The two hounds tried to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and bite off X-23's neck, but she rolled over on the ground and swung her wolf claws to cut off their heads.

The spurting blood splashed all over the little wolf girl's face, but she had no time to wipe it off.

While the other hounds were intimidated, she used her feet to push the ground continuously, and successfully leaned against a big tree while lying on her back, thus temporarily escaping the danger of being attacked from both sides.

But facing the hounds that were still eyeing her hungrily, she was helpless.

What’s even more terrible is that the enemy behind him has successfully caught up with him.

Beams of strong light shone from all directions towards the little wolf girl, instantly making her vision lose focus and forcing her to raise her hands to cover her eyes.

"Oh my god, look at this little guy, he really looks like a wolf cub with fangs."

Donald Pierce, the leader of the Predator Organization, parted the crowd and came to X-23 and said:
"Hey, baby, seeing you like this breaks my heart. I really don't want to dig the [Adamantium Wolf Claw] out of your body with my own hands in a place like this..."

"But if you're willing to cooperate, I can at least guarantee you a more dignified death."

Compared to other mutant teenagers, X-23 has powerful self-healing abilities and indestructible Adamantium claws implanted in his body.

Therefore, in order to truly destroy the body and avoid being caught, it must be taken back to the laboratory for professional dissection.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Predator Organization has been persistent in pursuing X-23.

Because if the news of Dr. Sandor Rice secretly cloning a mutant boy were exposed, the stock price and reputation of [Arklay Genetics] would instantly plummet to rock bottom. The organizations that had previously cooperated with it, especially [S.H.I.E.L.D.], would all turn their backs on it.

The big investors behind the scenes will make Dr. Sandor Rice suffer the consequences.

"My father will definitely come to save me, and then you will all die!!"

X-23 obviously inherited the tenacious character from Logan Howlett's DNA, so even facing the current situation, there was no fear or retreat on her face.

"dad?"

Donald Pierce was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and laughed out loud:
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect your relationship to progress so quickly... Yes, from a genetic point of view, Wolverine is indeed your biological father."

"But the problem is, that old guy has long been reduced to a useless person under the influence of the [M43 virus]. Even if he were here, it would be useless... Besides, where is he now?!"

"Don't say bad things about my dad."

An angry look appeared on X-23's tender little face, and then his thin body suddenly jumped up from the ground, waving two pairs of wolf claws and preparing to attack Donald Pierce.

But the hounds surrounding her once again blocked her charge.

If she didn't get rid of these annoying beasts, she probably wouldn't be able to perform even the most basic normal attack.

"Hey, Laura, don't be so impulsive."

Donald Pierce spread his hands with a confident look on his face. "We've put a lot of effort into dealing with you this time... These military-grade hounds are specially prepared for you."

Then he waved to the soldiers behind him and ordered, "Use tranquilizer bullets directly. The boss is still waiting for us at the foot of the mountain."

"Yes."

The two soldiers then took out special tranquilizer guns and pointed them at the little wolf girl who was angry but unable to break the situation.

"Roar..."

But at this moment, a tall figure with slightly staggering steps suddenly rushed out from the darkness behind.

Puff puff--

Logan Howlett wielded his sharp wolf claws and used his superb fighting skills to successfully kill several mercenaries in just a few breaths.

With the cover of darkness, he rushed towards the encirclement where X-23 was like a tiger descending from the mountain. "Laura, I'm here to save you!!!"

An angry roar echoed through the valley.

Seeing this, the little wolf girl couldn't help but burst into tears. Her jerk dad actually came across thousands of miles to rescue her like a superhero! !

But then she also imitated Logan, roaring and attacking the hounds in front of her.

She didn't want to sit there and wait to be rescued.

Now only blood can soothe the anger in her heart.

"WTF?!"

Donald Pierce was horrified when he saw this. He quickly pulled a few of his men to stand in front of him. While quickly retreating, he took out a walkie-talkie to call Dr. Sander Rice who was waiting for the results in the Garden of Eden.

"Boss, Wolverine has appeared. This old guy's condition is a little off. He seems much stronger than when I saw him before. We may not be able to handle him... Let's quickly release X-24 to kill this old guy!"

Soon, a reply came from the intercom, "He finally showed up...Hold on, X-24 is on the way."

After the call ended, Donald Pierce calmed down. He ordered the release of lighting drones to illuminate the entire area, and at the same time directed the mercenaries to begin besieging Logan Howlett to delay as much time as possible.

Puff puff--

After losing the cover of darkness, dense bullets rained down on Logan Howlett, but he was soon pushed out of his flesh and blood by his self-healing ability.

Logan Howlett crossed his arms to protect his face, then forced his way to X-23's side under the hail of bullets.

With a raised claw, he dismembered the two hounds that were biting the wolf girl's legs and ankles from behind. Then he used his bloodstained body to block the hounds, "Hide behind me!!"

X-23 immediately understood what he meant, and like a little wolf learning how to hunt from the wolf king, he bent his body slightly, hid behind Logan Howlett, and followed him to charge towards the enemy in front.

Da da da--

Puff puff--

Logan Howlett used his body to block all the oncoming bullets, and then when he was close to the enemy, he leaped up and pounced directly. His sharp claws penetrated the riot shield and pierced the heads of the two mercenaries behind him.

X-23 followed suit, taking the opportunity to step on his father's back and pounce on the enemy in front.

Father and daughter team up to kill!
Whoosh whoosh—

Suddenly, several anesthetic needles flew towards the two of them.

Logan Howlett, who was the first to react, directly used his body to block x-23. The strong dizziness made him feel as if the world was spinning around him, but soon under the effect of his self-healing ability, this feeling began to fade away.

however.

Just as X-23 was helping him remove the anesthetic needle from his back and preparing to start a new round of battle, Logan Howlett suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Oh no! Could it be that the recovery potion has expired?!"

Feeling the strength in his body rapidly fading like the tide, Logan Howlett suddenly remembered that Carl had said before that this magical potion that could help him restore his sense of smell and other body functions seemed to only last about a week.

Moreover, after the effect of the drug wears off, his physical condition may deteriorate seriously.

If we calculate by time, it has just been a week.

Damn it, why did it have to happen at this time?
At this moment, Logan Howlett really had the feeling of "I feel sad but I can't say it."

Especially since he had lost the blessing of his self-healing ability, there was no way he could escape from here with X-23 safely.

Frank, who came with him, sent his troops to [Garden of Eden] to deal with another group of mercenaries.

Therefore, the best way right now is to delay the enemy as much as possible while he still has the strength to fight, and then let Laura go to [Garden of Eden] to find Frank for help.

Although the mercenaries had an absolute advantage in numbers, he didn't think they could deal with Frank, the "human terminator".

"Laura, listen to my instructions later. Seize the opportunity and go to the Garden of Eden at the foot of the mountain to find Frank to help."

The little wolf girl obviously also noticed the abnormality of her father, because although her sense of smell was at a non-bug level, it was equally sensitive.

At this moment, she actually smelled a hint of decay on Logan Howlett.

But it clearly wasn't there just now...
