9. Church at the Foothold [89/100]

In the hotel lobby on the ground, the entire floor has been destroyed, and only one-fifth of the ordinary people who have not had time to escape have survived this battle, hiding in the ruins and shivering. .

Santals's battle is over, as a rookie killer who has only been in the rookie for less than 1 month, even if he has mastered the magic skills, he is not the opponent of 5 veteran mutants with rich combat experience.

He leaned against the front desk that was in ruins with difficulty, his body could no longer be atomized, his left arm was abnormally twisted, and opposite him, there were only 3 of the 5 mutants who followed the torrent, and in the mist just now, Santals killed three, but in the face of the short man who could drive the heat to fight and give his companions an energy shield, he was finally defeated.

In the high temperatures, which have been raised to 50 degrees, it is already difficult for fog to form.

"Connie, kill him!"

The tall man standing next to the short man was covered with heavy rocks, the whole person was 3 meters tall, and each step left a footprint on the ground, this guy's ability is super endurance and petrification, even if Santals is holding an Edelman alloy dagger, it is difficult to hurt his body.

The heat manipulator named Connie strode towards Santals, while the stoneman walked towards Mary, who was hiding to the side.

"Xintou, for you, we lost more than 10 brothers!"

There was undisguised disgust and hatred on his stone-condensed face, and the voice sounded like it came from the deepest abyss, and he reached out to grasp the frightened Mary,

"Pray you're useful to Master Bangke, or I'll kill you with my own hands!"

"Bang Bang Bang"

Mary looked at the big stone hand that was getting closer and closer, and she shrank herself into the corner with difficulty, her body trembling, but eventually, the fear in her heart was aroused to the extreme, and she raised her pistol in both hands and shot the stone man in the head three times.

The bullet hit the heavy rock, ripped open the rock formation, and sparks erupted, but that was all, the stone man didn't even change his hand.

His left hand grabbed Mary by the neck and snatched her out of hiding, the core struggling desperately while the stoneman didn't even look at her.

"Let go of me, don't push me!"

Mary screamed, she took off the glove on her left hand, and seeing that Santals on the other side was almost pierced through her chest by the heat of the weapon in her hand, Mary gritted her teeth and pressed her left hand against the stoneman's left arm.

The familiar feeling reappeared, but unlike the last time it was cold in her body, this time it was a thick and hard feeling that entered Mary's body, and the stone man turned his head sharply, he felt that he was rapidly becoming weak, and even the stone armor on his body could not be maintained.

"What the hell are you doing?"

He shouted and threw Mary aside, but the core that had already finished absorbing felt an unfamiliar force surging in his body, and her body spun in the air a few times, and when it landed, a thick stone carapace appeared on the surface of her body, exactly like the stone man just now.

"Hell!"

The weak stone man looked at his restored hands, he looked at the "stone man" Anna Marie who ran towards him, the confidence and indifference on his face were all gone, he turned and ran away, but was caught up by the angry girl, a punch in his back, the great force smashed him out, and the heat on the other side was complete After watching this scene, he threw Santals aside in his hand, and he looked at the girl who turned into a stone man in shock.

"You... Suck is suck ... No wonder!"

"Bang"

A loud bang interrupted the confrontation between the two men, and they turned their heads to see a twisted mass smashing through the glass ceiling outside the hotel door, smashing into the ground without slowing down, smashing a shocking depression on the ground in front of the hotel, and the dust was flying.

A moment later, a shirtless, silver-visored, short-trousers man stood up from the rubble with a knife, reached out and grabbed the corpse below, and walked down the hall step by step.

"Bang"

He kicked the glass door away, and he turned his head to look at the battlefield in the hall, and saw Santals lying on the ground, and saw the corpses, and the heat with the knife, and Anna Marie, who had turned into a stone man.

"Huh"

He threw the body he was carrying behind him in front of the heat, and when the latter looked at it, his hair stood on end, and the poor fellow was frightened, because it was a torrent... One of the most powerful mutants in all of Quebec, with a hideous heart-piercing wound on his chest and a body covered in knife marks.

The high temperature couldn't help but take a step back, he looked at Cyber with irrepressible fear in his eyes, but he knew that this guy in front of him... It won't be so simple to let him go.

"Cut off your own arm, you can roll with the corpse!"

Cyber's spirit was a little sluggish, he walked over to the unconscious stone statue, and swung his alloy knife, and the poor man's neck was slashed, blood splattered, and he looked at the heat, and there was a beating red glint in his eyes under the visor.

"Are you doing it yourself? or am I coming?"

With a hint of hideousness and hesitation on his face, he raised the short sword that exuded high temperature in his hand, and this attitude already said it all.

"I don't know how to lift!"

With a beastly shout, Cyber's body jumped up from the spot, the ground under his feet cracked inch by inch, the high temperature took two steps back, holding the sword in both hands, and urging his ability to the extreme, the scorching breath on the short sword was like a substance, but in the face of the silver blade that was cut off on the head, his resistance... Pointless.

"Poof"

"Ahh

The hot body flew out in the blood spray, the short sword in his hand was cut in two, and even his left arm and shoulder were cut off, and the broken arm smashed on the ground in front of him, and the five fingers were still twitching nervously.

"Bring back these stumbling corpses of yours and tell the others..."

Cyber threw the alloy knife to Mary, who was standing on the side, helpless, and he stepped forward, stepped on the hot chest, and said word by word,

"If you want to take this girl away, you will exchange your life!"

The tornado storm across the sky and the entire destroyed five-star hotel and the nearby community that were like the disaster could not be hidden, and it was not only the soldiers who did not want to die, but also the fearless media, and when Cyber casually changed his clothes, carried Santals out of the ruins of the hotel, and took Mary into a car casually, the hotel was already surrounded by reporters with long guns and short guns.

If you only look at the ridicule of this place now, it is no different from the bombed neighborhoods of the Middle East, which have become a real post-war ruin after the storms raging in the torrent...

The reporters stepped on a ruined wall and said to the camera excitedly, and three blocks away, Cyber stopped the car and said to Mary, who was sitting in the passenger seat with a somewhat glazed look,

"You come and drive, I'll rest for a while..."

There was undisguised tiredness in his eyes, Mary paused for a moment, and then exchanged seats with Cyber, she fastened her seat belt, and looked at Cyber, who was already leaning on the seat, she asked softly,

"That's... So where are we going?"

"All the way south... Whatever the hell..."

Cyber said this impatiently, threw a blue capsule into his mouth, and then closed his eyes, less than 3 minutes, a low snoring sounded, the 15-year-old girl looked at Cyber's not handsome side face, if she was going to leave now, the sleeping Cyber and the unconscious Santals couldn't stop her at all, but she remembered the contact of the past 2 days, and the big battle just now, finally, she gritted her teeth, stepped on the accelerator, and the gray sedan was back on the road.

She didn't know why she was staying with these two dangerous people, but at least, they proved that they were protecting her... That's enough.

Heading south aimlessly, the car soon left downtown Toronto, which was very close to the U.S. border, and at Mary's speed, it would probably be able to enter the continental United States at dusk tonight.

At the same moment, Professor Charles looked at the TV set in front of him with a solemn face, on which was the news inserted by New York TV, which was said to be a terrorist attack in downtown Toronto, but the professor could see at a glance from that picture that this was clearly a mockery of high-level mutants after the battle.

"Auroro, Jean, get ready to go... Cyber is about to break the sky. ”

Cyber slept soundly, the quality of sleep was always the best after extreme exhaustion, he stretched, opened his eyes, the night was already ruled by the moon and the stars, he moved his shoulders, opened the car door and looked left and right, it seemed to be a wilderness, but looking back, he could see a road with endless traffic.

In front of him, there was an old church that looked abandoned, and from the outside, it was very dilapidated.

Anna knelt on one knee in the darkened church, and in front of her was a storm-battered statue of the Passion Christ, above which the night breeze whistled from the broken bricks, but it was clear from its pattern how magnificent the church would be when it was triumphant.

No matter how gorgeous things are, they can't escape the invasion of time, and Seber walked slowly into the church, and he looked at the girl kneeling in prayer, and did not bother her, but sat in the last row of the church, not yet weathered chairs, and quietly watched her tell her story to God.

In the West, the church is a serious place where the things discussed are seen as known only to God and oneself, while confession is a ritual of self-redemption and self-relaxation, which means telling all the secrets to God, perhaps not to ask for forgiveness, but at least to find someone who shares the secret without revealing the secret.

Ten minutes later, when Anna had finished praying, she took a deep breath and looked up at the silent statue of Christ in the darkness, she wiped her eyes, wiped away her tears, and then turned around, only to see Cyber sitting in the last row in the faint moonlight.

"Come, kid. ”

Cyber beckoned to her, and Mary hesitated, but walked over and sat down beside him.

"Are you scared? Everything you've been through in the past 2 days. ”

"Hmm..."

Mary took a deep breath and nodded, "I never thought I'd have such a crazy experience before, but... I can't go back, can I?"

There was a trace of sadness in the core eyes, but he quickly forced a smile, "Actually, it's okay, with you, at least I'm not like a freak, people like us... Is it a lot?"

She asked, and Cyber lit a cigarette,

"Well, it's a lot more than you think, not as good as you think, but it's not as bad as you think. ”

"Then why did they arrest me?"

Mary threw her shoulders, shivering in the night, not knowing if it was because of the cold or because of fear, "Is there anything special about me?"

"Huh"

A coat was thrown into Mary's arms, and Cyber moved his shoulders to look at the darkness in the depths of the church before him, and he whispered,

"I don't know, kid, but I have a little suggestion, God may protect your heart, but only you can protect your life, and I don't think your God is here... From now on, protect yourself!"

Cyber looked up and reached out to take out Edelman's pistol from behind his back,

"Come out, I feel you!"
