    "Whoosh!"

    With two daggers in control, he stealthily struck at the necks of two guards, and George arrived at a fork in the road.

    According to his understanding and information gathered covertly during this period, the right fork in the road leads to the cafeteria, and further on is the room where the group of mutant children are being held. The left fork leads to the exit outside of the laboratory.

    If he were to head to the left at this moment, given his current strength, he is likely to successfully escape in stealth and then get away in a car.

    Once he gets to a busy part of the city, it would be like the sky is the limit and he can fly freely.

    With the mutant children drawing attention away from him, the number of people coming to pursue him in the later stages would likely be reduced.

    "Ah!!!"

    Just as he was about to step towards the left of this fork in the road, a wretched scream echoed from deep within the right fork, a young voice, that of a child.

    And this scream also caused George to lower his foot again.

    "It's none of my business, unrelated, there's no need to take risks for people I don't know. They'll be able to escape anyway."

    Hesitating for a moment, he lifted his foot again to step towards the left.

    "Ah!!!"

    Another wretched scream echoed, it was another child.

    There are a total of fifty mutant children in the entire research facility, and according to what he saw in the movie, only about twenty escaped in the end, including X-24, the Little Wolf Girl.

    This means that more than thirty mutant children died in the escape.

    "Although they are just children now, if they grow up, they will all be formidable warriors. If I could have them under my command, in this dangerous Marvel world, it would provide an additional layer of protection."

    Furthermore, there is a saying that 'fortune favors the bold'. Considering the future, it is worth taking a risk now.

    If it gets too dangerous, we can run then, it's not too late."

    With a sudden change of thought, George placed his foot on the right path instead of the left.

    In fact, at this moment, George's heart was torn between the two paths he was facing. He wasn't sure if his decision was truly motivated by the reason he had just come up with, or if it was simply because of the lives of those twenty more children that had been spared.

    People are like that sometimes; until you're truly in that moment, no one knows what choices you will make.

    There are some people who believe themselves to be selfish and self-interested, but in crucial moments, they choose to sacrifice themselves to save others.

    Some people talk about morality and righteousness, but in the end, they choose to run away first.

    George considers himself neither a good person nor a bad one; he's just an ordinary person with a moral level that's average for humanity.

    If he were to ask him to sacrifice himself to save others, he couldn't do it. However, if he had the chance to save others without sacrificing himself, especially a group of children, he thinks he might be able to give it a try.

    "Lady, Will, Aly..."

    In the cafeteria, Garvella watched as the three children, who were shot for stopping the pursuing troops, shed tears once more from her eyes.

    Once she realized that the purpose of this gene modification research facility was not to develop a cure for cancer, but to train assassins, she and a few other kind-hearted colleagues decided to secretly rescue these poor children.

    The plan hadn't been put into action yet, but the management of the research facility had already decided to execute the group of children en masse.

    For this reason, they had to flee early, but even with their various supernatural abilities, the children were no match for the experienced guards armed with cold weapons.

    Just by escaping to the cafeteria, several of her colleagues had already been killed while protecting them, and over a dozen of the fifty children had also been killed. It was estimated that many more would die if they were to try to escape from the actual facility.

    "Laura!"

    At this moment, seeing X-23, the strongest in the children, caught and her limbs secured in mid-air after having killed six people, Garvella quickly drew a submachine gun from the body of a guard beside her and said to the children behind her:

    "You go to the door, Aunt Isabella will send you to your destination."

    Isha is now the last surviving colleague, mainly responsible for driving the large truck to deliver supplies purchased in the city for this base.

    After receiving their notification, she had already driven the truck to the entrance to provide backup.

    "And what about you and Laura?"

    The older mutant boy, slightly older than the others, looked worried.

    Though they had always lived in the lab and knew little of the outside world, they were not stupid.

    "Rick, you are the oldest among them. I entrust them to you. Take them to their destination and wait for me there. I will definitely come find you with Laura."

    Garvella gently instructed the boy before holding up her submachine gun and opening fire towards the opposite side in a frenzy to create an opportunity for the children to escape.

    Her shooting was poor, but this burst of gunfire did manage to confuse the guards who were controlling the Little Wolf Girl. It allowed her to break free from one of her bindings. With a fierce move, she inserted the Adamantium wolf claws on her foot into the eye of a guard, temporarily freeing herself.

    However, it was clear that more guards had already arrived on the other side of the passage.

    Seeing the situation, Rick clenched his teeth and took these siblings without any blood relations with him, running towards the corridor at the back.

    But as soon as they had escaped the cafeteria, they were blocked by four guards with guns in the corridor.

    "Everyone, attack together!"

    Despite the terror in their hearts, they rallied themselves and prepared to fight to the death with the four guards, determined to break free from this place.

    "Whoosh! Whoosh!"

    However, their abilities had not yet been activated. Two of the guards suddenly sprayed blood from their necks and fell to the ground. The remaining two guards turned to face them, only to be met with two bullets.

    "Are you guys alright?"

    George dealt with the four guards and looked at the children who were staring in shock ahead, also taking a slight breath of relief.

    There were only 34 children left alive in front of him, which was fortunate that he had arrived in time.

    "757th!"

    Seeing that the one who had saved them was the mute 757th mutant, Rick was momentarily startled, but then he said anxiously:

    "Garvella aunt and Laura are still in the cafeteria there..."

    "I've taken care of the guards behind us. Keep running and I'll go save them."

    George didn't hesitate. He gave a nod and threw away the spent submachine gun, picking up two from the fallen guards on the ground before charging towards the cafeteria.

    "Such ferocity?"

    As soon as he burst into the cafeteria, he saw Little Wolf Girl straddling a guard's neck and unleashing a barrage of attacks on his head, blasting out his brain matter.

    The sight startled the guards surrounding her.

    However, her slender build meant that she was outmatched by the guards who quickly reacted. Despite her healing ability preventing her from being killed, she was still blasted from the sky and tumbled backwards in a daze.

    Beside her, Garvella had run out of bullets and was pinned down behind cover, unable to offer any assistance.

    "It's time to show some real skill!"

    At this moment, relying solely on controlling the knife to kill enemies is clearly not enough. He has no healing ability that can withstand so many bullets from the enemy.

    If he can't kill the enemy as quickly as possible, he will be met with a deadly barrage of fire.

    So George aimed the two submachine guns and attached all of his control over magnetism to the bullets in the magazines, beginning a wild and relentless attack.

    And after being shot out, the bullets were affected by the magnetism and took on arcs, accurately hitting the forehead of all the guards.

    The submachine gun's fire rate, combined with the precision of a sniper rifle, was the real foundation for him to come and help.
