Chapter 176 Kevin's Death?
Listening to Kevin's threatening words, Sander's expression did not change.
Instead, he laughed and pointed to the recorder on the soldier's head:
"I have to say that your behavior has given me a lot of inspiration. This is the first time I know that "live broadcast" and "public opinion" can bring us so much trouble, so... I also learned a little from you.
"See this, this is a special recorder made by the military. It can fully record everything observed and send the recorded video back to the cloud for storage.
"You are very powerful, and I know your methods, but... if you don't want those fans who like you to know what kind of person you are, then you'd better not use your method."
Sander is worthy of being the scientific research director of Alkali, and he is a smart man.
After realizing that Kevin was creating a persona for himself to achieve the goal of getting everyone to stand on his side, Sander quickly understood Kevin's strengths and weaknesses.
The advantage is that under the character created by Kevin, the public will spontaneously support Kevin and treat the Alkali Group, which is against Kevin, as an evil dragon that needs to be defeated and criticize it.
But the weakness is that under the camera, Kevin's previous ability to make people have an inexplicable cerebral hemorrhage or even a head explosion cannot be used at all.
Because his current identity is a "hero", a "warrior" who dares to fight against power and dares to fight for the survival space for mutants.
With such an identity, he cannot use means that look "evil" and "weird" in the eyes of the public.
Heroes cannot be "evil", whether in character or ability.
So Kevin never controlled blood from beginning to end, he only controlled water, using that pitiful and insignificant little water ball to pierce other people's heads.
Sander saw through this, so he was not worried that Kevin would blow his head here.
Under the camera, Kevin would not do this.
Sander thought Kevin had stopped live broadcasting, because the sniper just now aimed at the position of the mobile phone on his chest.
He thought Kevin's live broadcast had been disconnected, so he brought the recorder with him, but he never thought that Kevin was still protecting his phone at the critical moment.
So he thought Kevin would be threatened by him in this way, but he didn't know that Kevin had never thought of killing them by blowing their heads off at the beginning.
But having said that, the play must be played.
"I...will not...use the...disgusting methods you mentioned!"
Kevin roared angrily.
Sandel looked at him unexpectedly:
"To be honest, your physical fitness... is better than I thought. I thought the bullet just now would break your body in two, but looking at it now... it seems that it just penetrated your body? Or even The bullet is still in your body, right?
"A sniper bullet that can penetrate a tank cannot break your body... Your body is really stronger than I thought, so I am willing to give you a chance.
"Surrender now and promise that we will drop the previous charges against Alkali online, and I will let the medical staff come to save you..."
"roll."
Before Sandel could finish speaking, Kevin spit out blood and yelled at him.
Sander paused, as if he didn't hear clearly, or couldn't believe that Kevin refused his request at the critical moment of life and death. He raised his head and asked:
"What did you say?"
"He said, get out of here, get away. Are you deaf?"
Logan scolded Sandel mercilessly.
Although he knew that only Alkali could save Kevin now, he also understood that Kevin would never agree to collude with the enemy!
Even if he pays his life for it, Kevin will fight Alkali to the end!
After noticing Logan, Sandel turned his attention.
"James Howlett...or should I call you Logan? If I'm not mistaken, you just returned to normal because you were injected with our mutant medicine? It seems that the effect of the medicine on old mutants is quite short-lived... …”
"Bala, bala, bala -"
After scoring twice, Sander was interrupted again. This time it was Kevin. He looked at Sander with a mocking look and said:
"In the end, you can only engage in verbal battles, right? After all, you just want me to make a statement online, saying that... those things before were fake, and your Alkali Group... never did such things... right?"
At this point, Kevin changed his tone, grinned and said word by word:
"Dream on! Scum!"
"That's a pity... In that case, you can take your bodies back."
Confirming that Kevin and Logan would not change their words, Sander took a step back and let the armed security guards walk to the front.
Dozens of guns were pointed at Kevin and Logan.
Although Logan's steel claws were still there, they were no longer as brave as before.
But as he supported Kevin, there was no fear of death in his eyes, but a sense of relief.
He had thought about dying a long time ago, and instead of dying sadly in an unknown garbage dump, it would be more glorious to die for the children and with his comrades.
Logan was ready to die generously.
The security personnel of the Alkali Group and the surrounding military members were also ready to shoot.
But at this moment, the sound of a helicopter came from the sky.
Sander frowned and looked up, but saw a helicopter with a TV station icon flying towards this side in the sky.
It was one of the two TV stations that were stopped before. They didn't know how to break through the blockade of Alkali and arrived at the scene.
Seeing that the people from the TV station were about to arrive, Sander couldn't wait to wave his hand and signaled everyone to shoot.
But Kevin smiled when he heard the sound of the helicopter.
Weak, he asked Sander a question that sounded quite meaningless:
"Hey, bastard, do you know... how many pools of water there are near me in this forest?"
"?"
"The answer is... three!"
After Kevin finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed it forward.
The next moment, three water columns shot up from three different directions, forming a tornado, flying from afar with unstoppable momentum and falling from the sky!
The three water columns were far away, but their arrival speed was not slow at all.
From the time Kevin said that to the time the water column fell, it took no more than five seconds, and the surrounding area became a swamp full of flowing water!
"Go to hell! Bastard!!!"
Kevin roared, with blood all over the corners of his mouth, and raised his hands to Sandel with a ferocious face.
Under his control, the water flow engulfed Sandel and everything around him.
Whether it was Alkali's employees or the soldiers gathered around, they were all swept up by the water flow!
The water in the pool gathered beside Kevin, and he controlled the water flow with both hands, forming a huge water tornado more than ten meters high with himself and Logan as the center!
In the waterspout, people were shadowy, and everyone turned into fish in the waterspout, "swimming" with Kevin's control.
"W...T...F..."
Logan, who had planned to die, looked at the waterspout that was more than ten meters high, and his jaw couldn't close for a long time.
At the farm, when Kevin dealt with the Alkali security team, because it was too dark, Logan didn't see clearly how Kevin dealt with those people.
He could only infer from the situation at the scene that Kevin used water to deal with the enemy.
Based on this, it can be inferred that Kevin's ability is to control water.
But... Logan didn't expect Kevin's ability to reach such a level, to be able to control so much water.
This has exceeded the previous three-level rating for mutants and reached the fourth level.
Kevin is actually a fourth-level mutant?
The same level as Magneto and Professor X? ?
Logan couldn't believe it, and the netizens who saw this scene through the camera couldn't believe it either.
But this spectacular scene didn't last too long.
The waterspout lasted for more than a minute in the sky, and Kevin's body couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground.
The moment he fell, the water flow lost control and turned into pouring raindrops falling from the sky.
Those who had suffocated in the waterspout also fell from the sky and fell to the ground.
They had already fainted due to suffocation, and the chance of survival from falling from such a high place was not high.
Especially the guy named Sander, he seemed to have received special attention from Kevin, and his head hit the stone when he fell.
His skull was broken and his brain was splattered, and it was obvious that he would not survive.
But Kevin also seemed to be unable to survive.
"Cough... cough cough..."
Kevin, who had used his abilities at the last moment of his life, seemed to have lost his last vitality. He fell to the ground with a pale face and bloodless lips.
Seeing this, Logan had no time to sigh at Kevin's powerful abilities.
He quickly came to Kevin, turned Kevin over, and patted his cheek with his hand:
"Hey, kid, Kevin! Hold on, don't fall asleep! The helicopter from the TV station will be here soon, and they will take you to the hospital, hold on!"
"Luo... Logan..." Kevin held Logan's hand, his eyes blurred, "... It's okay, it's okay... I've done what I should do... It's enough..."
"Hey! Aren't you going to see Qin? I haven't taken you to Qin to pay tribute yet, you can't die here!"
"... It's... It doesn't matter anymore, and I will see her... Logan... I will see her... And, for me... who has taken so many lives... Maybe... This is the best ending..."
While Kevin was talking, the helicopter of the TV station had landed on the open space outside the woods.
The reporter and the photographer ran over here quickly. Kevin looked at them and said the last words to Logan:
"Don't... Let me die in front of them... I don't want... I don't want to make the children sad..."
"Kevin..."
"I... I'm sorry..."
At the end of his life, Kevin tried to reach out to Logan and apologize to him.
Logan didn't know why he apologized, but he didn't have time to ask.
Because after this sentence, Kevin's pupils were dilated, his breathing stopped, and his heartbeat stopped.
Even the hand that was stretched out lost its strength and fell to the side.
Holding Kevin's body, Logan was stunned.
He thought that he would lose his life if he stopped Alkali this time, but he never thought that it was Kevin who lost his life in the end.
He was so young...
Thinking of this, Logan's eyes were slightly red. He sat down beside Kevin, staring at the sky, watching the helicopter of the TV station falling from the sky.
The TV reporter who rushed over finally filmed this scene.
"Mr. Wolverine..."
The reporter finally got here, only to find that the person he was going to interview was dead. He was stunned for a long time before he took the microphone to interview Logan.
But Logan didn't want to pay attention to the reporter.
He remembered Kevin's last request, barely cheered up, picked up Kevin's body and walked deep into the woods.
"Mr. Wolverine!"
The reporter wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Logan:
"Enough! I don't care what you are here for! But now... you don't have to stay here, and don't follow me, because everything is over!"
The reporter stopped because of Logan's words.
Logan ignored the reporter and walked step by step into the woods.
He wanted to find a better burial place for Kevin, preferably a place with water, so that Kevin might go more peacefully.
But what about after the burial? How would he explain to Caliban and Charles, and how would he explain to Laura?
Kevin was obviously the youngest among these adults, and unlike these old guys who had already stepped half a foot into the coffin, he could have had a bright future.
As a result, he died here, and went to heaven one step faster than them.
Logan didn't know how to tell Charles.
No, maybe there was no need to tell him, after all, Charles might not remember Kevin.
But thinking about it, Logan felt much sadder.
Logan walked slowly, holding Kevin's "corpse", intending to find a burial place for him.
But in a trance, he seemed to hear Kevin's voice:
"...The people from the TV station have left, right?"
Logan: “?”
His expression froze, his sadness was instantly interrupted, and he looked down at Kevin in his arms.
Then Logan and Kevin’s eyes met.
“Okay, stop looking, put me down! I’m going to be twisted to death by a big man holding me like this.”
After meeting Logan’s eyes, Kevin jumped out of Logan’s arms with two energetic steps.
He looked down at his hands, then looked up at Kevin in front of him.
Logan’s thoughts went blank for a moment.
The dead…resurrected? ?
