As George stumbled and dodged the X-24 attacks, moving closer to the bus, the young wolf girl had already sprinted to the front of the bus.
The four soldiers who were filming, upon discovering the young wolf girl approaching, immediately drew out assault rifles and opened fire recklessly towards her.
The young wolf girl had a wealth of combat experience as well. Despite her slender build, she somersaulted and leaped like a real wolf, managing to dodge most of the bullets aimed at vital spots. Enduring the pain from the remaining shots, she fiercely charged towards the four soldiers.
She had been trained since childhood in various killing techniques, and was therefore quite accustomed to such combat scenarios.
The sniper on the bus above, upon hearing the commotion below, felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He quickly gave up supporting the sniper's factory and turned his gun to aim at the young wolf girl below.
The young wolf girl had just fought off two warriors when she was shot in the chest immediately.
Unlike previous shots, this one was extraordinarily powerful, propelling her flying out at an alarming distance. The intense pain caused her to emit a bloodcurdling scream.
Taking advantage of the moment, the remaining two warriors quickly moved in and forcefully pinned the young wolf girl's arms and legs, preventing her from rising again.
Despite her impressive physical fitness and combat skills, the young wolf girl was still a child. In terms of pure strength, she was still inferior to adults, especially these two muscle-built men.
No matter how she struggled, she couldn't get up.
"I'll blow your head off, can you still recover?"
The sniper turned his head to see Experiment 757 retreating in a humiliating manner under the attack of X-24. He estimated that he couldn't hold on for much longer. Thus, a malicious look appeared on his face as he aimed the gun at the young wolf girl's head pressed to the ground below.
He didn't believe that the young wolf girl could remain unharmed after being shot in the head with a sniper rifle. If one shot didn't kill her, then two shots, three shots; if she still wasn't dead, listening to her scream in pain under his gun was something that could be rather enjoyable.
"Almost done!"
At this moment, George also noticed that the young wolf girl was being subdued on the other side. After calculating the distance, he knew it was time to act.
With all his strength, he activated his ability on the ankle of the X-24, causing it to stumble and miss its attack. Seizing this opportunity, he did not continue to run but instead took advantage of the moment to pull out the gun that had been hidden in his chest.
He opened the safety, placed the gun at the X-24's temple:
"Game Over!"
"Pow!"
A single shot echoed, and the first Edman alloy bullet loaded in the gun pierced X-24's head, ending its life with one shot.
Upon hearing the gunshot from over there, the sniper who was about to shoot the young wolf girl's head instinctively looked up towards Experiment 757. When he saw X-24 lying still on the ground, his face turned pale instantly.
He quickly adjusted the gun back, aiming it towards the sprinting Experiment 757 coming this way.
"What's going on?"
However, at this moment, he noticed that his sniper rifle was uncontrollably shaking and even seemed like it was going to fly out of his hands. Despite his best efforts to suppress it, it only got worse, and the situation escalated.
The rifle's body shaking so much made it impossible to aim accurately. He forcefully fired a few shots, but all of them missed their mark.
"Pow! Pow!"
With the remote-controlled sniper rifle shaking and performing an S-shaped run to dodge the shots, George saw the effective range of the handgun and raised his hand to shoot two rounds at the two burly men holding down the young wolf girl.
The two burly men fell to the ground after being shot in the head in succession, while the young wolf girl also managed to break free from her bindings, plunging her claws into the bus and quickly climbing onto the roof. She then charged at the sniper.
She holds a grudge; the pain from being shot by a gun was great for her, and she would make sure it was equally painful for him.
"Commander, X-24 has been killed. Be careful of X-23 and the other test subjects...augh..."
Seeing X-23 flying at him, the sniper knew that his end was near. He quickly used the intercom to report to Commander Donald, but before he could finish, a hole had appeared in his chest.
George came below the bus and saw the young wolf girl, covered in blood, dragging the sniper's body down from the roof, and couldn't help but wince.
"Okay, everything's fine now. Let me take care of it from here."
He walked over, touched the young wolf girl's head, picked her up, and grabbed the four soldiers' assault rifles and sniper rifles. He then went to the driver's seat of the bus.
If it weren't for this special situation, he wouldn't have wanted a child like the young wolf girl to be involved in such a brutal battle.
He placed the young wolf girl in the passenger seat, stroking the sniper rifle, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Thanks, old friend, for sending the sniper rifle!"
His current ability is not enough to change the trajectory of the sniper rifle's bullet, but it doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future.
Just imagine a sniper rifle with a range of over two thousand meters, hitting its mark every time, and capable of making turns. It's such a formidable weapon.
He drove the bus straight towards the factory, and once he reached the limit of his ability, he shattered the glass in front of the bus. He then controlled four assault rifles and opened fire, sending out countless bullets in arching trajectories.
In the factory, Donald watched as Wolverine, who was now half-kneeling and heavily breathing, jeered at him:
"The drug's effects must have worn off; I bet you don't have much longer."
Frankly speaking, your backup, that experiment 757 and X-23, will likely be captured by my men within no time. When that happens, we'll send them all together to meet their Maker!"
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the report from the sniper and the screams of agony over the intercom.
Upon seeing this, Wolverine burst out laughing and, with his powerful willpower, stood up again:
"Apparently, it's time for you to meet your Maker!"
"Commander, we're in trouble. The bus is heading straight towards the factory, and our men can't hold them back."
At this moment, a lieutenant burst into the factory from outside.
"You...are good. This won't end like this. Retreat!"
Seeing Wolverine standing there with unknown strength, and hearing the intense gunfire and screams of agony from outside, Donald gritted his teeth and fled with the remaining less than twenty men in disgrace.
Seeing that Donald had finally fled, Wolverine could no longer hold on and sat down heavily on the ground.
After a moment, a bus rammed through the factory gate and came to a stop in front of Wolverine.
The door opened, and George and the young wolf girl jumped down from above.
"Are you okay, Logan?"
"I'll survive, these dogs. If it were twenty years ago, they'd all be dead."
Wolverine struggled to his feet.
"Don't use that kind of language in front of the kids. But Logan, your performance just now wasn't any worse than it was twenty years ago."
At this moment, Professor X pushed his wheelchair out with the rest of the group from the water tank.
George spoke up:
"Although we've temporarily defeated them, we shouldn't linger here. According to the original plan, everyone should quickly organize and split up into two groups and set out."
"George, we've made up our minds. We're not going to Canada. Professor is right. It's too tight before Friday, and it would be too dangerous for you guys."
"We can't be so selfish."
At this moment, Gabriella stepped forward and spoke to George.
