BXBX NOVEL Chapter 416 Escaping
Chapter 416 Escaping
Brush!
A silver figure galloped across the empty land in the Western United States, lifting a blanket of sand behind him. Less than a minute after this silver figure rushed past, space fluctuations suddenly appeared somewhere in this wilderness. Then, a Space Portal appeared out of thin air, and Blink and Colossus and another X-Men with long hair came out of it.
“They really can run! It’s been almost twelve hours, and instead of catching them, we have been led by them.” Colossus coming out of the space door looked at the silver figure that was about to disappear into the distance in the distance and spoke helplessly.
“Relax, they can’t run away, Professor Charles keeps locking them. Unless they can’t run out of power, we will catch up with them sooner or later.” Standing next to Colossus is an X-Men that Lin Rui hasn’t seen before. His ability is the evolution of the five senses, nicknamed the ‘Path Finder’, he is generally there when the X-Men need to track someone. He comforted Colossus after hearing his words.
“Then let’s take a five-minute break, Blink can’t use her abilities continuously.” Looking at the figure in front, Colossus looked at Blink, who looked pale next to him.
“Yeah, let’s take a break.” Blink didn’t speak but the other two agreed as they knew that Blink needed rest.
Then the three X-Men took a break here. They had been on the road since they picked up this mission from Professor Charles yesterday. Although it was Blink who used her abilities, they were still unable to catch up with the fleeing figures and felt a little upset. After all, it had been twelve hours.
In the battle against Hydra yesterday, X-Men also sent a lot of their main forces to the war, and they finally captured some Mutants who were controlled by Hydra and Red Skull. Now, those Mutants who were controlled and brainwashed are imprisoned in the X Academy and Professor Charles is working to find a way to heal them.
In the follow-up battle yesterday, after Mirage Knight and Red Skull were swallowed together by the Magic Cube’s Space Gate, SHIELD was met with a large blockage when they were attacking another Hydra base. The main obstacle comes from two powerful Mutants, one with Speed powers and the other one have some Weird Mind powers. Obviously, these two were Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch who escaped in the battle of Golden Gate Bridge.
After learning the news, Professor Charles directly sent out the X-Men. However, although the number of X-Men were very good. But after a simple fight, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, who knew that they wouldn’t be able to last long, escaped.
With Quicksilver fully mobilizing his abilities, X-Men really couldn’t catch up with them. Therefore, Professor Charles asked Blink to take Colossus and another X-Men who is good at tracking and pursued them according to the direction he gave. This chase has been going for about twelve hours.
From day to night to day, Quicksilver has a short rest period and X-Men has a short rest period. Now, Blink must take a break every time she opens the Space Door. Fortunately, with Professor Charles’s mind lock, and the X-Men who is good at tracking, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch never managed to get out of their range.
“I’m well-rested.” After a five-minute rest, Blink opened her eyes and spoke faintly.
“Well, Let me see where they are now.” Upon hearing Blink, PathFinder looked towards the location where Quicksilver had disappeared.
When the PathFinder looked forward, his pupils dilated instantly, and the color of his eyes became deeper. After using his own Mutant ability, he can see extremely far places.
“Found them!” Five seconds later, PathFinder’s pupil shrank and he shouted.
“That position is about 35 kilometers away. They are now resting, and it seems that they won’t be able to persevere for a long time.” PathFinder took back his sight and pointed out the current position of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, and also said their current situation.
Buzz~
“Let’s go!” Without much delay, Blink waved her hand and opened the Space Door after determining the location of the journey.
Brush!
Then, the three X-Men walked into the Space Door again and moved towards Quicksilver’s position.
…
Just as the X-Men traced Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch’s position and opened the Space Door again, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were hiding under a small hill to rest at this time. Indeed, as PathFinder though, Quicksilver, who has been running all the way can’t hold on anymore. His speed is fast but he can’t get rid of Blink who has space jumping ability.
“Pietro, can you still hold on?” Scarlet Witch asked worriedly, looking at the gruff Quicksilver sitting on the floor.
If Scarlet Witch wasn’t injured in the fight last night, they should have escaped by now. Although Professor Charles’ mental lock is powerful, Scarlet Witch’s mental strength is also strong enough to shield them from this mental lock when she is not injured.
And this escape depends on Quicksilver’s ability, which also enabled Scarlet Witch to recover some of her strength. Twelve hours had passed, and Scarlet Witch decided that she should be able to block Professor Charles’s mental lock by now as Quicksilver really won’t last long.
“How is your recovery? I can still run for about a hundred kilometers, and then I won’t be able to run anymore.” Seeing Scarlet Witch’s worry-filled face, Quicksilver asked a question first, and then expressed how long he could persist.
“A hundred kilometers? As long as I can block this damn mental lock, it should be enough for us to get rid of the Mutant who can see far away.” After hearing Quicksilver’s answer, Scarlet Witch seriously said after thinking about it.
“Are you confident? If you don’t make it the first time, maybe we won’t get away with it this time! I don’t know why the X-Men are after us! I thought after Red Skull died, we would really be free, but I didn’t realize the X-Men were this crazy.” Hearing the words of Scarlet Witch, Pietro asked another sentence gravely. Then Quicksilver teased them about their situation, clearly confused by the X-Men’s pursuit.
“I don’t know why they are targeting us so much. We didn’t do much damage to X-Men even when we were in Hydra. Speaking of which, they seemed to be overreacting this time!” Hearing Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch couldn’t help saying that.
The brother and sister really don’t understand why the X-Men are so desperate to pursue the two of them. Hydra has already been destroyed and the two of them don’t plan to fight anyone in the future.
Of course, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch didn’t know that Professor Charles wanted to target them because Lin Rui had talked about them. A pair of Mutant brother and sister with Level 4 Mutant ability whit one of them likely to reach Level 5 in the future, which makes Professor Charles attach great importance to them.
“No! They’re chasing us again!” Just as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch finally took a break, Scarlet Witch suddenly stood up and shouted nervously.
“Pietro, I will first shield us from that strong mental power, and then we will leave. Remember, you have to take us a hundred kilometers away this time and we would be able to get rid of them.” Then, Scarlet Witch reminded Quicksilver after mobilizing her powers.
Buzz!
“Go!” She shouted sternly after a pale red light enveloped Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch.
Brush!
Then, Quicksilver picked up Scarlet Witch and silver and red light intertwined as they ran away into the distance.
Dada~
Just as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch left again, there was a roar outside the small valley. Then, a huge figure of Colossus broke in. However, by this time Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch had already escaped.
