Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 6: Chapter 6



At this moment, Syd's internal energy was only sufficient to fire nine more Dark Particles. If The continued to use them, he might run out of energy altogether.

Moreover, if it hadn't been his first time trying Dark Particles, concerned about missing his target, he would not have aimed at their chests but directly at their heads and hearts, which would have saved energy.

Reflecting on this, he sighed, "I still have too little energy inside me..."

He picked up the middle-aged researcher's ID card and swiped it at the metal door's card reader.

With a beep, the door automatically opened! Fortunately, there was no iris scan or similar security feature, or he would have been in trouble.

He dashed out, running toward the next metal door.

As he made his escape, the entire facility erupted into chaos.

The piercing sound of alarms echoed throughout, alerting staff and inmates alike that someone was attempting to escape.

"Quick, quick!"

"Teams ready, catch him!"

Under the orders of the facility's leadership, armed personnel sprung into action.

Footsteps echoed in the corridors, with some running towards Syd's direction and others stationed at exits, waiting to catch him.

Inmates in their cells were dumbfounded, peeking through the bars to see who was escaping. "Who is it this time? Didn't someone just try to escape a few days ago?"

"Haven't they learned their lesson yet, idiot!"

"Ah..."

There were expressions of surprise, ridicule, and sighs.

"I wonder who is foolish enough to think about escaping..."

The freckled youth who had spoken with Syd during the day now recalled a familiar figure. Is it him?

"No, it can't be him. That guy just tried to escape a few days ago, and his injuries haven't even healed yet."

"We'll know by tomorrow..."

"Ha ha ha, right, then we can mock that person a bit..."

As the inmates whispered among themselves, Syd was already nearing the second door.

Some pursuers caught up.

"Stop, don't move, or we'll shoot!"

"Put your hands up!"

Five armed guards with rifles approached him, their dark muzzles pointed at him.

Syd ignored them, knowing these people wouldn't easily shoot since as a test subject, he was more valuable alive.

Many experiments required him to be alive to be effective, even if they ended in death, those were valuable records.

Taking advantage of their hesitation, Syd swiped his ID card at the reader.

He also kept an eye on the guards, ready to use Rebound Shield or Spatial Transfer to dodge if they made a move to shoot.

Fortunately, they didn't choose to fire, seeming to wait for others to join them for a sure capture.

Syd kept watch while running towards the final exit.

Rapid footsteps and clamor filled the corridors.

As he approached the facility's main gate, his pace slowed down because he found dozens of armed personnel waiting for him.

They looked amused, holding their guns aimed at him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Faced with their encirclement and seeing an unobstructed exit, Syd was puzzled and approached cautiously.

He swiped his card, but to no effect-a voice announced a verification error.

He now understood why they hadn't stopped him from getting close-they were overly confident! Seeing his actions, the amusement on the faces of the surrounding armed personnel intensified, and some even laughed out loud.

Captain Kenny stepped forward and shouted, "Don't try to resist, this is a specially made metal door, you can't open it."

He paused, then added, "Mutant freak, don't even try to use your powers. The moment you make a move, we'll turn you into a sieve!"

His tone was condescending, as if to say that having mutant powers was irrelevant against their greater numbers and firepower.

Watching the mockery on their faces, Syd mockingly smiled back and quietly said, "Goodbye."

Amidst disbelieving stares, his figure flickered and vanished from the spot.

"This is impossible!"

Captain Kenny's smile froze, and he shouted angrily.

The others were stunned, unable to believe what they had seen.

Had the fugitive just disappeared? What kind of mutant power was that?

Their faces filled with confusion.

Previously, the briefings in their earpieces hadn't mentioned such a power! As they stood incredulous, Captain Kenny grabbed a rifle and fired wildly into the empty space.

Bang, bang, bang...

After a while, confirming there was no sound of bullets hitting flesh, Captain Kenny realized, "Open the gate, the kid has gotten out!"

"He can't have gone far, hurry!"

While they scrambled, Syd was already running towards a nearby road outside the facility.

Panting~

With unhealed injuries and long periods without exercise, his heart pounded, and he began to

tire.

As he ran, his eyes brightened when he spotted two researchers near some parked vehicles.

Seeing him approach, the researchers' faces changed, and they turned to run.

Before they could get far, a dark particle shot towards them.

In an instant, one researcher fell to the ground clutching his stomach in agony.

"Run again, and I'll aim for your head next!"

As Syd warned the other fleeing man, feeling the energy for only seven more abilities left in

him, he frowned slightly.

Hearing his threat, and seeing his friend's agony, Wesley raised his hands, pleading, "Hey

man, don't shoot, let's talk!"

"Where are your car keys?" Syd demanded coldly.

"Take me to where you parked, no tricks, and you don't want to end up like him, do you?" he

said, nodding towards the groaning man on the ground.

"No, here." Wesley, jolted into action, quickly pulled out a car key from his pocket and

pointed to a nearby vehicle.

"That's my car..."

Boom, the sound of the facility gate opening echoed in the distance.

Syd's expression changed.

He grabbed the keys and pulled the researcher toward the car.

They hadn't run far when gunfire sounded in the distance.

"Ah!"

The researcher beside him screamed.
