Chapter 1026

In just half a month, the total population of Void Island rose again, now reaching over a thousand people, with all kinds of ability users—useful ones, useless ones, a wide variety.

"Su Quan... Su Quan... can you hear me? I'm Lauren! Please... please help us!"

In the darkness, did a series of calls interrupt Su Quan's light sleep?

Lauren's plea for help?

The corners of Su Quan's mouth lifted slightly as he perceived Lauren's situation.

It was not optimistic.

Although their family had been detached from the main plot for a while—er, well, the original main plot had long since fallen apart after Su Quan's intervention.

But as major plot characters of this world, it was impossible for their family to truly transcend the world and stay away from it.

After their family arrived in Mexico, things were initially stable; although life was a bit harder and they lived in fear every day, afraid of their identities being exposed and afraid of being caught, they slowly settled down.

However, good times didn't last long. In a chaotic place like Mexico, let alone wanted fugitives, even ordinary people would encounter all kinds of trouble.

When trouble arrived and couldn't be avoided, Lauren and Andy, the sister and brother, couldn't help but use their abilities, and then their mutant identities were exposed, forcing them back into a life of hiding and displacement.

If it were just this, Lauren wouldn't have asked Su Quan for help; the main issue was that Trask Industries discovered their family's identity, especially the identity of the Fenris twins, and began a vigorous pursuit, causing them to fall into flight once again.

At this moment, Lauren was asking for help because they were at the end of their rope; agents from Trask Industries and the Sentinel Services had joined forces to block them in a dead-end alley.

With Lauren and Andy's abilities, there was originally hope of breaking through, but some complications arose: their father, Reed, had his suppressed mutant abilities re-emerge due to the various pressures of this period.

Reed didn't know at all that he was a mutant, nor had he ever thought he would have mutant abilities; coupled with the life-and-death moment of being captured, various reasons caused his abilities to erupt, and his energy climbed sharply.

And then... he exploded directly!

You think that was the end?

No, not yet; the more miserable part was still to come.

Because she was concerned about Reed's condition, Caitlin couldn't dodge in time when Reed self-destructed. Although Lauren sensed something was wrong and released an air wall at the first moment, she was still a step too slow.

Caitlin was killed in the explosion, Lauren's air wall only lasted a few seconds before shattering, and she and Andy were also blown away.

Andy fainted immediately after landing, and Lauren's condition was slightly better, but she was also heavily injured.

At this moment, behind her were the unconscious Andy and the high wall of the dead-end alley, and in front were the gun-wielding agents closing in step by step.

There was an air wall between her and the agents, temporarily ensuring her safety, but only temporarily!

She couldn't keep the air wall up forever.

With the end of the road right before her, the only light she could think of in her despair was Su Quan!

"How miserable!"

"Does this count as revenge from the universe's consciousness, or the butterfly effect after the universe self-corrected?"

After Su Quan understood Lauren's situation, he couldn't help but exclaim repeatedly.

Of course, there was definitely no such thing as universe consciousness in this world, and it was very logical for Lauren and her family to end up like this.

The fact that Lauren and Andy were the new generation of Fenris twins couldn't be hidden; the Sentinel Services and Trask Industries would definitely find them, it was just a matter of time.

Reed's abilities were also bound to manifest; after all, so many years had passed, the effect of the serum was long gone, and coupled with the mental pressure from the successive complications, it was normal for the abilities to manifest.

He knew nothing about his own abilities, and the abilities he had suppressed for so many years were very violent, and the ability itself was of this type, so it was reasonable for him to self-destruct.

Caitlin's death went without saying; on the road of flight, everyone was already close to each other, and since they didn't know Reed had abilities and didn't know Reed would self-destruct, wasn't it normal for her to be caught in the blast?

On the contrary, in the TV series, when Reed's abilities manifested, he destroyed whatever he touched and couldn't control it at all, but every time he was in contact with Caitlin or others, they were fine.

…………

Did it have to be such a coincidence?

Is it metaphysics?

Like this, Reed self-destructing and Caitlin being caught in the blast is what fits the current situation!

Then again, the current result is a bit too realistic.

In the TV series, although their family didn't successfully smuggle into Mexico, they all lived well until the finale.

And now?

Reed is dead, Caitlin is dead, and if he doesn't intervene, Lauren and Andy will definitely be caught; it can be called the total annihilation of a family.

Is this what they call—misfortune is where fortune rests, and fortune is where misfortune hides?

Mexico.

A certain dead-end alley.

Accompanied by the continuous sound of gunfire, the air wall Lauren held up trembled slightly and finally shattered!

"Bang!"

The air wall collapsed, and Lauren couldn't help but tilt backward.

At the same time, a bullet flew straight toward Lauren.

This was a special non-lethal bullet; it wouldn't cause too much damage to the body, but once hit, one would lose the ability to act for a certain period.

Most of the time, when the Sentinel Services captured mutants, they used this kind of bullet!

Despair filled Lauren's heart; she seemed to be able to feel the bullet flying slowly toward her, but she was powerless and could only wait helplessly for the bullet to hit her.

"No!!!"

Lauren let out a roar of unwillingness, and *plop*, she fell to the ground.
