Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 12:



At this moment, a killing intent arose in Syd's heart.

At the same time, he also considered whether it was too cruel to casually take a life. However, this thought was quickly dismissed.

Those people were clearly coming for him with lethal intent, and if captured, the only thing awaiting him would be death! Since they were after his life, he had no intention of letting them off easily. Of course, he could run and hide for a while, but that was never his plan.

Hiding would only work for so long before he was found.

Only by causing significant losses to these people could he truly buy some time.

Syd quickly weighed the pros and cons.

Soon, his gaze hardened.

Just as he had thought before, if those people wanted his life, they should not expect an easy time! The idea of defeating them and then letting them leave unharmed never crossed his mind.

Letting them go back to recuperate and come after him again? Images of mutant behaviors involuntarily surfaced in Syd's mind.

As he finished his contemplations and made his decision, the ten armed personnel slowly approached.

A deep voice, amplified by a loudspeaker, reached Syd's ears.

"Mutant suspect Kevin, we know you're hiding nearby. Come out now, or we will attack." Captain George held the megaphone in his right hand, warning the mutant suspect named Kevin while vigilantly watching a house a few dozen meters away.

Besides Syd and them, the residents hiding in nearby houses were also very nervous and afraid, worried about being affected by the battle.

Of course, there were also those driven by curiosity and fearlessness.

Some were peeking out of windows, some stood on balconies watching the scene, and some even had recording equipment ready to capture the scene for some sensational traffic.

The residents whispered among themselves. Inside one of the small houses, a middle-aged man spoke with a little girl.

"Mutant?"

"Dad, what's going on?"

"Quiet, the police are catching a bad guy!"

"Ah, so who will win, Dad?"

"Well, that's easy to guess. The police will win for sure. No matter how powerful the mutants are, they can't beat the well-armed police, can they?"

Not just this father and daughter, but everyone watching the scene felt similarly, believing that the mutant suspect wouldn't last long before being captured.

Moreover, this wasn't the first time they had seen mutants being captured, and they had never seen a mutant win. The lighter cases ended with surrender and capture, while the severe cases could even result in death.

Some prayed that the mutant wouldn't resist, as they didn't want any fatalities nearby. Others were excited and eager to see the police shoot the mutant suspect dead.

In the distance, Chris sighed quietly.

He thought, if there was a way to help, he might as well try to let the kid escape.

In his view, it was doubtful the kid could win or even escape.

After all, a mutant with only the ability to absorb sunlight and hand-to-hand combat skills, how could he compete against fully armed individuals? If it came down to it, any resistance would mean being shot from a distance!

Seeing that the mutant suspect still hadn't come out, Captain George, dressed in black, frowned slightly, growing impatient and continued shouting.

"Inside, mutant suspect, after our investigation, you've been found to have misused your powers causing fatalities. This is a serious offense!"

"Come out and come back with us, we can still be lenient with you..."

Listening to the ongoing chatter, Syd's eyes were full of disbelief.

Go back with them, to die? The words were pretty, but if he weren't a mutant and hadn't experienced those horrible things, just a regular person, maybe he would have believed them. Now...

He believed that going back with them would save even the lawyer's fees, as he would simply vanish!

"These people still not moving closer?"

Looking at the distance of a few dozen meters between them, Syd frowned slightly.

If it weren't for waiting for them to come closer, saving the energy used for spatial transfer, he would have been too lazy to talk nonsense with these people.

After a long wait, seeing that talking was a waste as the mutant suspect still had no intention of coming out or even speaking a word, the ten armed personnel's expressions turned cold.

"If you don't come out, then we'll have to arrest you by force. Please do not resist, or you will bear the consequences..."

Captain George finally spoke, more for the nearby residents to hear, indicating that they had followed all procedural protocols.

After warning, if the mutant suspect didn't come out and was accidentally killed, they couldn't be blamed!

And this time, they had already received permission from above; if the mutant suspect resisted fiercely, accidentally killing him wouldn't cause any issues.

"We're in position, expect to engage soon."

"Daisy, help lock onto the suspect's position..." Captain George said into his headset.

Meanwhile, his team members began to move. Some of them even put on thermal imaging

equipment.

The sun had already set, and the dimming light made it difficult to spot the suspect. Now, with thermal imaging, there was no way the mutant suspect could hide!

They slowly surrounded the building, confidence evident on each face.

They had received information about the mutant, even seen videos of him using his powers, and they couldn't imagine losing.

As long as they maintained their distance, given the mutant's weak abilities, they didn't believe he had any chance to resist! They even worried about accidentally firing too many shots and killing the young man outright.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

So, at this moment, their faces were filled with confidence, feeling as though victory was already beckoning to them.

After closing to within about ten meters, they did not approach further. A muscular man named Brandon pulled a tear gas grenade from his belt and threw it near the house without a

second thought.

With the tear gas, they didn't believe the mutant suspect could continue to hide! Everyone tightly gripped their firearms, eyes fixated on every corner of the house, ready to shoot as

soon as the suspect appeared.

In the distance, Chris also tensed up, preparing to intervene.

However, the outcome was somewhat unexpected! Noticing the incoming object, Syd frowned and instantly teleported away from his original position.

In an instant, his figure appeared just a few meters away from Captain George and his men.
