He could only have Alice continue monitoring the Trask Group to see if she could find any clues.

The following afternoon, Lawrence, sitting in the president's office at the Trask Group, received an experimental report related to the Extremis virus.

After conducting experiments, they discovered that the stolen research data was indeed authentic.

However, the Extremis virus can at most slightly enhance the physical fitness of ordinary people, but it will not significantly improve the abilities of mutants.

However, the Extremis virus has extremely severe side effects, especially for mutants whose emotions are already unstable. It almost inevitably leads to their mental breakdown, turning them into bloodthirsty monsters.

Eliminating the side effects of the Extremis virus would require a massive investment of funds and time, and success is not guaranteed.

"boom!"

After reading the lab report, Lawrence slammed his hand on the table in anger: "Damn Killian, is this the Extremis virus he boasted about? It has such a huge flaw, and he didn't even tell me!"

If Killian hadn't piqued Lawrence's interest with his earlier boasts about the Extremis virus in his letter, he wouldn't have wasted N-5, this successful mutant clone.

"Destroy all data related to the Extremis virus! There's no need to keep anything that's worthless, and there's no need to continue paying attention to Future Pharmaceuticals."

Lawrence finally gave the order to the head of the laboratory.

Mark was unaware that the Trask Group had completely lost interest in the Extremis virus.

He had instructed the two security teams at Future Medicine Company to be on high alert for retaliation from the Trask Group.

Mark was only slightly relieved after three days when he saw that things were going smoothly at the company.

He had the damaged laboratory repaired, and Killian and Maya returned to work there.

"Mark, there have been unusual personnel changes at the Trask Group!"

Around midnight that night, Mark heard a sudden reminder from Alice.

Mark opened his eyes, sat up in bed, and looked at the large screen on the opposite wall.

At this moment, on the big screen, a group of six people left the Trask Group building and got into a Jeep.

The leader was a young man with a buzz cut, wearing a leather jacket and exposing his arms.

The five men behind him were dressed in camouflage and were all armed.

It seems rather unusual for the Trask Group to send out such a team late at night.

Mark instructed Alice to monitor the movements of these people throughout the entire process.

The van stopped after entering Fair Street, a suburb of Los Angeles.

The six people got off the bus and walked straight toward a slightly dilapidated house not far away.

At this moment, the young man in the lead was still walking empty-handed, but the five people behind him had already gripped their guns and were ready for battle.

"Alice, look over there and see who lives in that house."

Mark gave the order to Alice.

Alice immediately hacked into the nearby network, retrieved surveillance footage from the surrounding streets, and quickly provided Mark with the information he needed.

The house was inhabited by one man and two women. The man was a young man named Ian Knight, who was also the owner of the house.

Several months ago, two women of unknown identity suddenly appeared in Ian's home.

Alice showed the two women photos that had been accidentally captured by the intersection's surveillance cameras.

One of them was a girl with an Asian appearance, who looked to be just an adult.

The other was a white woman in her twenties with a rather unusual appearance; she had a pair of animal ears on her head!

This is footage captured by surveillance cameras after the other person's hat was accidentally blown up by the wind while they were out.

"These three are most likely mutants!"

After seeing the white woman's appearance, Mark basically guessed the identities of the three people.

Because mutants are prone to discrimination and are often hunted by underground forces, they tend to stick together for mutual support.

The three people in this house are very likely in this situation.

They may have inadvertently revealed their identities, which led the Trask Group to discover them and send this team to arrest them.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Battle

Mark knew that the Trask Group had been secretly capturing mutants for biological experiments.

He would do his best to sabotage whatever the enemy wanted to do.

Moreover, Mark himself was extremely disgusted by this practice of experimenting on innocent people.

Ian's phone number appeared on the screen, and Mark picked up his phone and dialed it.

"Hello, who is this?"

A moment later, the call connected, and Ian asked in a daze.

He seems to be a very well-mannered person; even when he was woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night, there wasn't a trace of anger in his tone.

“Ian, there’s a squad of Trask Group armed men on their way to your house. They’ll be there in three minutes! If you don’t want to be captured and studied in their labs, run now!”

Mark hung up the phone immediately after he finished speaking.

Whether they can escape from the Trask Group militants depends on their own abilities; Mark won't risk taking matters into his own hands.

"Hey, hey, who exactly are you...?"

Ian wanted to press Mark about his identity, but the line went dead.

Then he snapped back to reality and realized that now was not the time to investigate the other party's identity.

He hurriedly put on his pajamas, walked out of the bedroom, and then kicked open the doors of the two adjacent bedrooms.

"Olive, Harumi, wake up! Something's happened! Trask Cartel hounds are chasing us outside! We have to go!"

"Ian shouted anxiously."

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in pajamas rushed out of each of the two bedrooms.

The woman with brown animal ears is Olive, and the girl next to her with long, straight black hair who looks like she's not yet an adult is Harumi Aoi.

Both women had experienced being chased and forced to flee, and they were both quick-witted.

"Let's go!"

Olive didn't ask any unnecessary questions and ran straight towards the back door of the house.

Ian and Harumi Tsangta quickly followed.

The crew-cut young man outside was leading five of his men, slowly approaching the courtyard in front.

His ears twitched slightly, revealing a look of surprise: "Hmm? We were discovered beforehand!"

He suddenly increased his speed and rushed towards the courtyard ahead.

Five armed men behind them also quickened their pace to catch up.

But the crew-cut youth was as fast as the wind, quickly leaving the five people far behind.

"not good!"

Ian turned around and saw the crew-cut youth rushing towards him from outside the courtyard, and his expression immediately changed.

This person was incredibly fast, far exceeding the speed of ordinary people; he easily flipped over a fence that was over two meters high.

"You guys go first, I'll stop him!"

Ian said something to the two women, then immediately blocked the back door, squatted down, and placed his hands on the ground.

"Ian, watch out!"

Olive glanced at Ian with concern, then quickly pulled Harumi Aoi towards the backyard.

"boom!"

The ground within a radius of several dozen meters in front of Ian suddenly began to shake.

Just as the crew-cut youth entered the house and rushed towards the back door, the shaking of the ground suddenly intensified.

The dilapidated old house collapsed instantly, burying the person underneath.

Ian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned and ran towards the back wall of the courtyard.

"boom!"

Just then, the collapsed ruins behind them rumbled loudly, and an arm with three bone claws swung around, blowing away the broken bricks and tiles.

The crew-cut youth quickly emerged from the rubble and angrily chased after Ian.

Five armed men behind them also circled around the ruins and caught up.

"not good……"

Ian turned around and saw this scene, and was immediately terrified, turning pale and running even faster.

When he ran to the backyard wall, he saw Olive, who had transformed into a half-beast, grab Harumi Sota with a leopard claw and easily throw her onto the wall, which was more than two meters high.

"Ian, go up!"

Olive's voice turned low as she grabbed Ian, who was running over, and threw him up as well.

Just then, the crew-cut youth caught up.

At this moment, a half-meter-long bone claw emerged from each of his hands, and his face, neck, and arms were covered with wild animal fur, making him look extremely ferocious.

"Hey, you guys go first!"

Olive gave Ian and Harumi Aota a low growl and charged towards the young man opposite her without hesitation.

She knew she had to stop them, otherwise none of the three of them would be able to leave.

"puff!"

Olive's leopard claws left afterimages, scratching bloody marks on the crew-cut youth.

The crew-cut youth's bone claws tore large chunks of flesh from Olive's body.

The two fought like two ferocious wild beasts, using their sharp claws to attack each other.

But in terms of strength, speed, and defense, the crew-cut youth was clearly superior to Olive, and soon inflicted more injuries on her.

"Olive!"

Ian and Harumi Sota, who were about to jump over the wall to leave, gasped in surprise and had to stop in their tracks.

If they leave like this, Olive is really doomed!

At this moment, five armed men arrived from behind, raised their guns, and prepared to fire at Olive.

Standing on the wall, Harumi Aota's eyes emitted a faint, seven-colored light, and an invisible wave enveloped the people below.

Her ability is to deceive others' vision and create illusions.

At this moment, in the eyes of the five armed men, Olive and the flat-headed youth had switched places.

Without hesitation, they aimed at the crew-cut youth and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang!"

Blood immediately gushed from the crew-cut youth's body.

The gene inhibitor fired from one of the guns further weakened his body, and his mutant abilities began to gradually disappear.

"Damn it, what a bunch of idiots!"

The crew-cut youth couldn't help but curse.

Although his vision was also clouded by the illusion, he was still able to pinpoint Olive's location thanks to his keen sense of smell.

But for ordinary people, they can only locate the enemy by sight, making them easily deceived by illusions.

The Trask Group had previously discovered the possible presence of mutants in the area, which is why they sent them to capture them.

However, this was the first time the two sides had come into contact, and they had no information about Ian and the others' mutant abilities, so they were completely unprepared to deal with it!

"Olive, come on up quickly, I can't hold on much longer!"

With a pale face, Harumi Aota shouted loudly to Olive below.

This was the first time she had used illusion magic on so many people, and it wouldn't last long at all.
