Chapter 216: Assassination

Anna is in a good mood these days, and the reason is because she has made a new friend, a normal person who knows that she is a mutant, but is still willing to make friends with her - Catherine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Through the unremitting efforts of the members of the X vigilante and the promotion of the website "Real Mutants" created by Catherine, the reputation of mutants has been greatly reversed, at least in the metropolis of New York, many young people have gradually begun to accept mutants, and many mutant children who have been expelled in the West have more options than Xavier School.

On this day, at the invitation of Anna and Natasha, Catherine went to Fifth Avenue to start sweeping together after finishing the content of the website.

If it was before, Catherine, a reporter who has only been in the company for a few years, would never have the luxury of shopping spree in various luxury stores on Fifth Avenue, but now it is different, the salary offered to her by Bucky definitely gives her the confidence to blow up her credit card, and in half an afternoon, her hands have been full of bags and clothes that she only dared to look at and buy before.

Anna and Natasha are no exception, no matter their age, whether they are mutants or ordinary people, shopping is definitely a woman's favorite way of leisure, although not as exaggerated as Catherine, but they also carry a few shopping bags in their hands.

Just as the three beauties, big and small, were about to go to the parking lot to pick up their cars and go home, on the roof of a building nearly two kilometers away from the three women, a pitch-black sniper rifle was already aimed at the three people.

"Sir, the target is heading towards the parking lot, if you get into the car, you can't guarantee the accuracy of the sniper, do you want to act now?" The sniper had been watching the three girls for a long time, and he was in a very good position now, with a view of almost all of Fifth Avenue, and he knew that they were going home by looking at the direction Anna and the number of shopping bags they were carrying.

"Is that female mutant still with the target?"

"Yes sir!" The Sniper didn't understand why his commander cared so much about the female mutant, but he didn't ask much, he was a soldier and just had to carry out orders.

The commander on the other side was silent, according to the information he had, Anna was the woman of the guy who could easily destroy several sentry robots, if there was any mistake in the assassination operation and injured that woman, I am afraid that those sentry robots who have not left the port now will not even have a chance to go to Cairo.

The dozen or so CIA agents lurking in Cairo have not heard anything for five or six days, and as is customary, it can already be assumed that all of them have been captured or killed, and in this case, the government has decided to take formal military action against the Apocalypse in Cairo tomorrow. How can there be fewer sentry robots in this kind of military operation, the top commander of the military department has ordered all the sentry robots to be mobilized and go to Cairo.

This sudden order disrupted the deployment of the old general, and the operation against mutants in the United States has just begun, and it has been greatly affected by the sudden rise of "Real Mutants", in the old general's opinion, when their sentinel robots return victorious, the influence of the "Real Mutants" website may become even greater. After thinking about it for a long time, the old general ordered an assassination operation to be carried out in the shortest possible time against Catherine, the main person in charge of "Real Mutants".

After a moment, the chief gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and said, "Action, remember, don't hurt that female mutant!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

The sniper received the order, immediately crouched in front of the sniper rifle, opened the scope, and aimed at Catherine, who was happily advancing, he did not shoot immediately, as an experienced sniper, what he had to do was to ensure that his shooting was accurate. The crosshair moved rhythmically as Catherine moved forward, and the sniper's finger was already on the trigger.

"Beautiful woman, it's a pity that you did something you shouldn't have done!"

The slight emotion in his heart did not have any effect on the sniper, and after the final adjustment, the index finger of his right hand that was pulled on the trigger had begun to slowly retract.

At this time, Anna's brows were furrowed when she was about to pick up the car, and it had been several times, and a beam of light that was so faint that it was almost imperceptible flickered across her eyes, if it weren't for the good physical fitness that the X gene had brought her, she probably wouldn't have noticed this fleeting beam.

"This, it seems to be reflective!"

Anna suddenly remembered what Natasha had told her that if she encountered this situation where the reflection swept over her body repeatedly, in addition to the prank, it was very likely that she was targeted by a sniper, which was the reflection of the scope.

Thinking of this, Anna suddenly became alert, and then she saw that on Catherine's chest, the undetectable reflection had stayed on it, and it had not changed its position at all because of Catherine's advance.

"Oops!"

Anna secretly said that something was wrong, and a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on her back, and without thinking about it, she blocked in front of Catherine, and at the same time turned on the state of diamondization.

At the same time, the sniper's right index finger had already pulled the trigger under the control of the brain, and in the first 0.01 seconds of the trigger pulling, he was shocked to find that the female mutant who was told by his boss not to be injured by mistake suddenly took an arrow step and blocked the target. I wanted to stop, but before my nerves could pass this command to my hand, the trigger of the sniper rifle had been completely pulled, and with a muffled sound, the bullet had already left the chamber of the gun and headed towards Anna's chest.

Anna felt as if she had been hit by a speeding car, and her body, which had not yet fully diamondized, immediately returned to its original state, flew upside down, and rolled on the ground several times before stopping, along with Catherine behind her.

It didn't take Natasha half a second to understand what was going on, and years of training as an agent allowed her to react most correctly, and it only took a few seconds to drag Anna and Catherine into a nearby shop, so that she could observe Anna's injuries.

At this time, Anna's face was very pale, there was still a trace of blood at the corners of her mouth, and there was a slight murmur in her rapid breathing, which Natasha quickly judged that this was a symptom of lung trauma. Fortunately, Anna's timely diamondization negated most of the bullet's kinetic energy, so her injuries were not serious.

Sweeping her eyes over the street, Natasha immediately found the bullet blocked by Anna, and she didn't need to pick it up to look at it, Natasha judged that it was a bullet fired from a 12.7mm large-caliber sniper rifle. Under normal circumstances, the bullets fired by this large-caliber sniper rifle do not need to hit the vital point of the person at all, as long as they hit any part of the torso, it is very likely to be fatal, even if it is just a rub, it will not run away from the consequences of a serious injury.

Thinking of this, Natasha was suddenly afraid, and then a monstrous anger followed, leaving only the sentence "I'll go and catch that killer", and ran out like a fly.

"Natasha, Natasha!"

Anna wanted to stop her, but there was a sense of powerlessness in her body, and she could only half-sit on the ground, watching Natasha casually flip over a teenager riding a bicycle, snatch the bicycle and disappear from her sight.

"Anna, it doesn't matter to you, do you?" Catherine's face was paler than Anna's, her eyes were full of tears, she was scared stupid just now, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses, thinking of Anna suddenly blocking in front of her, and immediately guessed that she was the real target, and Anna was just blocking the gun for herself.

Looking at the appearance of her new friend, Anna reluctantly smiled and comforted: "It's okay, it's just a little painful." ”

"Thank you, Anna, for saving me."

It only took a moment for Catherine to figure out everything, she was a fired reporter, if there was any enemy who wanted to put herself to death, then it must be those anti-mutant extremists, and it was her "Real Mutants" that touched their interests, so they would not hesitate to buy murder. Thinking of this, Catherine shook Anna's hand and said firmly: "I have nothing to repay you, my friend, all I can do is to report the most real mutants and justify the names of mutants!" ”

Besides, on Natasha's side, with the knowledge she learned in the Red Room, she was able to determine the general location of the sniper in just a few moments, and after grabbing a bicycle, she came to the downstairs where the sniper was before in two minutes. However, Natasha knew that if she went upstairs to look for it now, she might really be able to find clues about the sniper, but it would be difficult to catch the sniper.

Natasha didn't know if the sniper had evacuated, it had been a few minutes since the incident, and if the sniper had been quick enough to clean up the traces of his existence, it was likely that he would have evacuated, and it was possible to wait here until it was empty. However, Natasha was willing to gamble, and suppressed the anger in her heart, and her beautiful little face showed a smile again, as if she was a young and beautiful middle school student, but her eyes quickly swept around, looking for any suspicious person.

Not to mention, Natasha's luck is really good, the sniper is from the army, this time he hit the deputy car by mistake, in order not to leave any trouble for himself and his troops, he really cleaned up all his traces before evacuating, and only after making sure that he was foolproof did he carry the violin case containing the disassembled sniper rifle, and then left the building with an indifferent face, as if the sniper had never happened at all.

However, his actions still can't hide from Natasha's eyes, after all, he is a sniper, a soldier, not an actor, although he tries his best to disguise himself as a down-and-out violinist, Natasha still recognizes this as a battle-hardened warrior by virtue of his walking posture.

"Uncle, can you teach me the violin?" Natasha appears behind the sniper, making a final attempt.

As Natasha expected, the down-and-out artist-looking guy immediately turned around when he heard his words, and when he saw him, his eyes suddenly contracted. Natasha, who saw all this in her eyes, smiled slightly, and a needle coated with a strong anesthetic was already inserted into the sniper's thigh.
