Chapter 521: A net cast from heaven and earth? Just this? (Second update, please subscribe!)
The sun was in the sky, and gunfire was constant.
The Sentinel Services had long expected that someone would come to save Polaris. After all, Polaris was not only the leader of the mutant underground but also the daughter of the famous Magneto.
To prevent Polaris from being rescued, and to catch more mutants in one net, they had long made full preparations.
It could be called a net cast from heaven and earth!
Cars appeared quickly from both ends of the highway, loaded with fully armed agents and a large number of spider-type Sentinel Robots.
Helicopters circled in the air, each equipped with two snipers. Once the order was given, they were confident they could hit the target accurately at the first moment.
"*Da, da, da*—*da, da, da*—"
The gunfire became louder, the bullets became denser, and Lorna's face became uglier.
"Such a big scene..." Lorna noticed they were surrounded.
No way to heaven, no door to enter the earth.
A true net cast from heaven and earth!
Lorna pulled Su Quan to hide behind the already tattered box truck, observing the situation while saying to Su Quan.
"This is the largest scale in the history of the Sentinel Services. They sent out at least two or three hundred people, over a hundred Sentinel Robots, damn it... and helicopters!"
"What are your thoughts?"
Su Quan glanced at the formation outside. This is the largest scale in the history of the Sentinel Services?
There's no sense of oppression.
Hundreds of agents:???
Hundreds of Sentinel Robots:???
Lorna:???
You call this no sense of oppression? This formation is enough to directly destroy the mutant underground!
"*Bang! "
A missile landed on the box truck. In an instant, the sound was deafening, the fire lit up the sky, and the huge impact directly knocked Lorna to the ground.
Do you have a sense of oppression now?
No?
Then let's have a few more!
"*Bang! "
"*Bang! "
"*Bang! "
Several missiles exploded at once, shaking Lorna so much she didn't dare to look up.
"Can you pause time again?" Lorna shouted at Su Quan in a low voice.
With this shout, she realized that Su Quan was very calm, completely without the panic and fear of being surrounded by a large army and having missiles exploding beside him.
"Okay, you're a man!"
"*Whoosh*—" Su Quan waved his hand to throw the fast-flying iron pieces aside and responded with a smile: "I can."
Lorna asked again: "How long can you pause it?"
Su Quan didn't know exactly how long he could pause it. He hadn't tried it—ten, twenty-something hours should be no problem.
"It should be enough to do what you want to do."
"Okay, then let's—retreat!"
Retreat???
Su Quan was stunned.
This is time pausing, such an opportunity, you don't go to kill the enemy, don't go to weaken the enemy's power, you actually want to retreat?
What's the difference between this and Sun Sun Wukong freezing the Seven Fairies and not doing the right thing, but stealing peaches instead?
"Are you sure you want to retreat?" Su Quan couldn't help but ask again.
"Of course!"
Lorna answered naturally and confidently.
With this formation, if you don't retreat, are you waiting to be caught?
"..."
Forget it, she's not Magneto after all, and her ability hasn't reached that level. It's normal to think of retreating in this situation.
Changing to Magneto, if things couldn't be done, he would also retreat.
But retreating and retreating are different!
Pausing time and sneaking away has no deterrent power. At most, it makes the Sentinel Services think you're hard to catch, and they'll plan more thoroughly next time they catch you.
Magneto is different. Even if he wants to retreat, he will make you afraid, make you wary, make you not dare to catch him even if he stands in front of you without a foolproof plan.
Retreating cannot bring peace. There is a saying: "Strike one punch to avoid a hundred punches!"
Targeting you without loss won't make them think you're kind; it will only make them think you're bullyable and will only attract more targeting!
"Forget it, just listen to me." Su Quan shook his head and stood up, walking straight out from behind the box truck.
Lorna was a step late. When she walked out, what she saw were dense bullets and missiles from both front and back.
No, not just from the front and back. In the helicopters in the air, several snipers also pulled the triggers.
"Pause time... why didn't you pause time?"
Looking at the incoming attacks, Lorna found that time hadn't paused, which made her anxious. She shouted at Su Quan while preparing to control the bullets flying toward Su Quan from all directions.
The next moment, she froze.
Su Quan slowly raised his hand. In an instant, the sky full of bullets and missiles stopped directly, floating densely around him.
Lorna was stunned.
The Sentinel Services were stunned.
Even the Sentinel Robots crawling toward him like sea waves were stunned!
Well, the Sentinel Robots weren't stunned, but they were frozen.
Su Quan turned his head to look at Lorna, who had her mouth open, and raised a smile.
Lorna felt a sense of aloofness from this smile.
My temper is big. If you are willing to bow your head, bow your head. If you are not willing to bow your head, then kneel down!
Su Quan's palm shook, and only the sound of *whoosh, whoosh, whoosh* rang out. The bullets and missiles floating around him flew back at a faster speed.
"*Pfft*—*pfft*—*pfft*—"
Almost at the same time, the sound of being shot rang out. A group of agents fell to their knees with grunts, and then the sound of explosions came from the convoy lying on the road.
Fire lit up the sky, explosions occurred everywhere, and the cars in the middle of the road were blown into the air and flipped out.
Su Quan waved his hand downward, and a helicopter in the air lost control and fell straight down.
"*Boom! "
Another cluster of fire lit up.
Air control?
Don't mess around, this is a living target!
The other helicopters reacted, subconsciously rising and flying away to avoid following in their footsteps.
"Retreat." Su Quan shouted at Lorna casually.
Lorna walked out blankly, following behind him, walking step by step toward the direction of the blockade.
Letting herself be in charge, what she thought of was retreating.
Letting Su Quan be in charge, Su Quan... almost wiped out the enemy!
If Su Quan used time pausing or other abilities, that would be fine, but he... he used the same ability as her!
Comparing the results of the two, Lorna felt that reality gave her a slap, and then neither spoke nor apologized!
This slap was too painful and too ruthless.
Her pride seemed to have been beaten away by this slap.
If the person who came to save her today wasn't Su Quan, but John and Sonia, could they have escaped?
No!
Not only would she not be rescued, but even John and Sonia might have folded here.
"Don't block the way!"
Su Quan, who was walking in front, suddenly gave a light shout. Those frozen Sentinel Robots were like bandits seeing an emperor—*thump, thump, thump*—they all knelt!
The Sentinel Robots' steel claws were all broken, and sparks and thick smoke drifted from them. These Sentinel Robots were all scrapped!
