Chapter 229: Hell on Earth

Penny is also a Level 3 mutant, and her ability is an illusion, which can briefly conjure up real illusions, easily deceiving the senses of others and confusing the real with the real.

Although this ability does not have much combat effectiveness, in this era, it can play a much more effective role than the ability of the third or fourth level of the general combat side.

It is with this strange ability that she has avoided many dangers over the years.

Of course, this was just her original idea.

Now it seems that her ability may have played a part, but what really kept her safe was her husband, who was an intercontinental councillor, secretly helping her.

It's just that this situation can't continue after all, and she has to make a choice.

Under the 'Extinction Project', there will be no place on Earth where mutants can continue to hide.

Originally, there was controversy within the federation about this plan, especially Mario, who has always been firmly opposed to this plan.

She didn't understand it at first, thinking that Mario really didn't agree with the concept of the 'Extinction Project', so she objected.

Now it seems that a large part of the reason why Mario disagrees is because of her.

Because Mario knew that once the 'Extinction Project' was officially launched, she would never be able to hide anymore.

However, listening to Mario, this time even he can't continue to stop it, and the 'Destruction Plan' is not only not canceled, but is also ready to be launched in advance.

No matter where she hid, there could be no more chances.

She could see that Mario was really ready to die with her, but she couldn't be so selfish.

Mario is not alone, if he is really sentenced because of her, his parents and relatives will be affected by this.

Mario can deliberately play stupid for her for so many years, and help her secretly deal with all the troubles.

Of course, she couldn't really sit back and watch Mario get into a desperate situation because of herself.

So she chose to leave, took her newborn son with her, and left quietly.

With her abilities, Mario can't catch up with her unless he uses a large number of sentry robots to track her...... However, the sentry bot doesn't know what it means to be merciful, and Mario can't do that.

Therefore, this time is probably goodbye.

Bang Bang –

Opening the secret door of the bomb shelter on the side of the rockery, Penny carried the child into it and closed it with her hand.

Underneath the secret door, there was a deep passage, and only a dark light illuminated a path.

Penny walked diagonally down the road for about a few minutes before she came to a more spacious space.

In front of it is a metal wall without any gaps.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Penny knocked on the wall a few times.

"Who?"

A low, vigilant voice came from the other end.

"Me, Penny."

"Waitβ€”"

There was no doubt on the other end, and after answering, there was a movement soon.

But on the metal wall in front of Penny, a white circle of light with a diameter of more than one meter suddenly appeared.

When the white aperture appeared, the metal wall part that was encircled by it suddenly became transparent, and through the middle of the aperture, you could directly see the situation there.

Penny was already familiar with this, and got into the aperture with the child in her arms and went there.

When she entered, the aperture suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

The metal walls have also been restored to their original state.

Obviously, the appearance of the aperture is supposed to be a mutant ability that can be used as a gate.

On the other side of the metal wall, there is a space that resembles an underground fortress, and there are more than a dozen mutants inside, but most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

The man who had just 'opened the door' for Penny was an old man who looked to be at least sixty or seventy years old.

His name was Dole, and he was the oldest person here.

"Penny, why are you here all of a sudden?" The mutants inside were enthusiastic when they saw Penny coming.

Especially when they saw that she was coming with a child in her arms, several female mutants immediately overflowed with maternal love, wanting to tease this newborn little guy.

This happy scene looked extremely warm, but there were tears flashing in the corners of Penny's eyes.

"What's going on, Penny?" Old Dole was the first to notice that something was wrong with her, and said with concern: "If you say something, everyone will help you find a way." ”

Penny wept silently.

"Did that guy named Mario fail you? As I said earlier, ordinary people don't have a good thing, let alone a big man like him. ”

Old Dole said angrily: "Don't cry, we will find a way to help you get angry, even if he is an intercontinental councilor, he is just an ordinary person, as long as we plan ...... well"

"It's none of his business."

Penny interrupted Old Dore and cried, "He already knew that I was a mutant, and he has been secretly helping me all these years, otherwise I would not have been able to hide until now, let alone secretly help you." ”

Hearing Penny say this, the dozen or so mutants present all showed surprised looks, and they were obviously all a little incredulous about this.

With the current relationship between the ordinary people's camp and the mutant camp, a big man in a high position like Mario would actually risk a lot of danger to shield mutants?

That sounds outrageous.

But when it came out of Penny's mouth, they had to believe it.

Because the reason why everyone here survived was because of Penny's covert relief.

Otherwise, even if they find a hiding place, they will lack supplies and will not be able to stay out all the time.

Their lives can be said to have been given by Penny, and Penny has no need to lie to them.

"Since that's the case, then what are you crying about, is something wrong with Mario?" Old Dole asked again.

"It's the plan...... The Human Federation is going to launch that plan in advance, and although Mario is strongly opposed, five of the seven intercontinental councillors agree, and it doesn't matter whether he opposes it or not......" Penny whispered.

Hearing Penny mention that plan, everyone present changed color instantly!

Mario had previously mentioned the Extinction Project to Penny, so Penny had already told them what the Extinction Project was.

So they know very well that once the 'Extermination Project' is activated, there will be no place for mutants to hide.

It's the same for both them and Penny.

Old Dole's reaction was the same as that of the others, and he first showed a shocked look when he heard the news.

But unlike the others, he quickly regained his composure, took a deep breath, and sighed:

"This is probably our fate, in today's situation, the ending is actually predestined, sooner or later, everyone look at it......"

Penny's tears were still dripping, and looking at her son, who couldn't speak, she sobbed in a low voice: "Death may be a relief for me, but he is still a child, why should he suffer this fate?" ”

"Born with a dominant ability, even if his father is an intercontinental councilor, it is destined to not end well, do you want to see him live like us?"

Old Dole looked kindly at the little one in Penny's arms, teased him, and then continued, "If you had a choice, maybe he wouldn't want to be born into this world. ”

"It's hell on earth for mutants...... Old Dole sighed deeply.

"Maybe you're right, but ......"

Rumble!!

Penny was about to say something when she was interrupted by a loud bang coming from the direction of the metal wall.

The loud bang sent most of the mutants present into a state of panic, realizing what had happened.

Sentinel Robot ...... Here it comes!

"You're being followed?" Old Dole looked at Penny.

"I, I don't know...... Maybe I was in too much of a hurry and didn't pay attention to it......" Penny said with some panic.

"It's okay, this day will come sooner or later anyway, don't blame yourself, you've done enough, we'd have died without you." Old Dole smiled freely.

However, his comfort did not make Penny feel much better.

As an elder, he has seen through life and can be fearless of death, while others are not so open-minded.

Listening to the metal wall being hit again and again, everyone's heartbeat is constantly accelerating!

…………

On the other side, in Mario's office.

Syllable!!

"You, who made you make your own decisions?!" He slapped the female secretary in the face.

The glasses on the bridge of the female secretary's nose were pulled away, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

But there was no expression of annoyance or grievance on her face, she just said gently: "Cousin, if you don't make a choice, not only you, but even the entire family will fall into the abyss because of this......"

"My fate, the fate of my family, and your cousin are tightly tied together, and you can't bear to be this wicked person, so I'll be the one to do."

Mario gasped and stared at her with a killing-enough gaze, "When did you find out?" ”

"Just like my sister-in-law can't hide it from your cousin, as your secretary, you helped her wipe her ass so many times, how could I not be aware?"

The female secretary picked up the shattered glasses from the ground, put them back on, and continued: "In the past, I would continue to play stupid, so as not to anger you, cousin. ”

"But now it's different, if you don't cut it quickly, cousin, your political enemies will pounce on you like a pack of hungry wolves and bite you!"

"In order to protect your cousin, and also to protect the family, I had to make my own decisions and communicate with my sister-in-law, and obviously, she also agrees with my point of view......"

"What did you say?" When Mario heard this, he was furious and said, "You let Penny leave?!" ”

He thought that his wife left on her own initiative, but he regretted it for a long time and felt that there should be a showdown.

I didn't expect the departure of my wife in the end, but it was also because of the former, a self-asserted!

He couldn't hold back his anger anymore, stepped forward and grabbed the female secretary's hair, gritted his teeth and said, "Immediately transfer that team of sentinel robots back!" Immediately! ”

The female secretary who was caught by the hair laughed miserably: "It's too late, as long as the sentry robot finds a mutant, it will automatically upload the information to the database of 'Eve', and now even if it is your order, it is useless......"

Rumble!

Enraged, Mario pushed it away and fell on the coffee table, knocking it over.

At this moment, a message was received at the same time on the personal terminals of the two -

The target person is suspected of successfully escaping through the 'flashing' spatial ability, and the pursuit fails!

Seeing this message, Mario was ecstatic, but the female secretary was pale and unwilling!
