Chapter 387: I, Wade, Am a Famous Moral Model!
“Concentrate, John, I don't want to experience failure.” Agent Zero leaned against the tree trunk in an extremely professional posture, setting up his sniper rifle.
“Failure? Since joining the Weapon X Program, I've never failed a mission.”
Sabretooth Victor extended his hands, his fingernails growing long and sharp at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, compared to Wolverine's bone claws, Victor's fingernails were only a few centimeters long.
“The moment you hear the gunshot, John, you take Victor and rush in, the faster the better.” The nearly five-kilogram sniper rifle was as steady as if placed on flat ground in Agent Zero's hands, without the slightest tremor.
He was like a cheetah hunting, constantly waiting for his prey to reveal a flaw, then delivering a fatal attack.
“They're out.” After waiting for about two minutes, Agent Zero finally saw Homelander appear inside the window. Without a moment's hesitation, he pulled the trigger directly. Along with the rifle sinking sharply, a bronze-colored bullet shot out, cutting through the air.
Bang! Agent Zero, who possessed the ability to absorb kinetic energy, immediately followed up with a second and third shot after firing the first.
Logically, a sniper rifle cannot fire continuously because the recoil from each shot affects the rifle's accuracy. However, for Agent Zero, the so-called recoil had no effect on him. Therefore, he could ensure that every bullet he fired remained in a straight line.
“The Military is really efficient, sending the guinea pig over so quickly.” Xia Shang looked towards Agent Zero in the tree.
At this moment, the first bullet was already suspended directly in the center of his forehead. He could even see the bullet's rotation trajectory and the airflow it caused.
“Decent speed, should be enough to deal with ordinary mutants.”
Xia Shang saw the second and third bullets following closely behind the first, almost touching tip to tail.
“Trying a sneak attack?” In an instant, he turned his head to look beside him, only to see two figures suddenly appear on the previously empty ground. To be precise, it was a skeleton and a burly man lunging at him.
Pfft! As Xia Shang turned his head, the three bullets instantly changed trajectory and shot directly into Sabretooth's body.
“What!”
John in the Room watched in disbelief as a spray of blood bloomed on Sabretooth's chest. His scalp tingled, and he subconsciously used his ability, wanting to leave the Room.
“Since you're already here.” Xia Shang was determined to get John's teleportation ability, how could he let him leave? With a single look, he fixed him in place, unable to move.
“How is that possible?” Agent Zero, seeing this scene through the scope, his pupils suddenly constricted. Could it be that the target had anticipated the impending danger? Otherwise, there was no explanation for why the target would use his ability beforehand to stop and manipulate the bullets to shoot at Victor.
“Those were bullets fired at supersonic speed!” Although unwilling, Agent Zero still abandoned the sniper rifle and leaped down from the tree.
For someone who could control bullets, they were simply his natural nemesis. His proud marksmanship was completely useless in front of the opponent.
“Shetty!”
Agent Zero drew the two pistols from his waist and charged straight at Xia Shang, continuously pulling the trigger as he moved.
But what happened next was exactly as he expected. All the bullets hovered around the target, as if they had entered a zero-gravity Space, completely ineffective.
Meanwhile, Victor, who had been shot through the chest, was not dead. Instead, with a ferocious look, he continued to lunge at Xia Shang.
“Whose recovery ability is stronger, yours or Logan's?” Facing the pouncing Victor, Xia Shang asked calmly.
“I'll tell you after you're dead.” Sabretooth wielded his claws and slashed across Xia Shang's chest. With a tearing sound, the part Xia Shang was hit was unscathed, not even breaking the skin.
Are you kidding? To break through his skin, it would take someone like Wolverine, who had fused with Adamantium.
Mere hardened fingernails, even if they broke off, couldn't threaten him.
“How can this be?” Sabretooth felt as if his claws had slashed into an indestructible metal. He had never encountered this situation when killing other mutants.
“I don't believe I can't kill you.”
Sabretooth fiercely swung his right arm, aiming straight for Xia Shang's eyes. Just as the distance between them was only one centimeter, Xia Shang raised his hand and slashed forward. His arm instantly transformed into a blade, cutting through Sabretooth's abdomen and chest with incredible smoothness.
For a moment, Sabretooth, feeling the pain, his eyes turned red, and his attack did not retreat but advanced.
“Sorry, you really can't do anything to me.” Xia Shang flicked his arm, and his right arm, which had transformed into a blade, instantly returned to its original state. With unimaginable speed, he grabbed Sabretooth by the neck and slammed him down onto the ground.
With a loud bang, the wooden floor was instantly shattered, sending countless wood chips flying in all directions. At the same time, the entire Wooden Cabin shook.
“Mission failed.”
Outside the Wooden Cabin, Agent Zero, seeing Sabretooth being abused, slammed on the brakes, stopping his charge, and decisively turned around, sprinting towards the location of the car.
Fortunately, John hadn't driven the car away yet, otherwise, he wouldn't even have a means of escape.
“Stay put, my experiment is lacking material.” Xia Shang raised his hand and squeezed towards Agent Zero, who had just gotten into the car. An invisible psychic power instantly crushed the vehicle, causing it to dent inwards.
“Damn it, Wade!”
Agent Zero, trapped in the car, remembered what Wade had said not long ago and was so angry his teeth itched. It seemed this guy wasn't just sharp-tongued, but also a jinx!
On the other side, Wade, who was squatting on the curb enthusiastically reading an erotic magazine, suddenly sneezed.
“Why do I feel like someone's talking bad about me? People like that are truly immoral, secretly discussing me behind the scenes.” Wade pinched his nose with a look of disdain. Although he didn't have snot, he still rubbed the finger he had just used to wipe his nose repeatedly on Fred's clothes.
“Who's the immoral one here?”
Fred moved away with great disgust, then lowered his head to look at the burger in his hand and took a big bite.
“I, Wade, am a famous moral model. All of the United States knows it.”
“Then why are you a mercenary?” Fred grumbled while chewing his burger.
“What's wrong with being a mercenary? After all, in the face of money, morality can be temporarily put aside. Otherwise, without money to eat, I, this moral model, would starve to death.”
Wade was not ashamed of his flexible moral bottom line; instead, he was proud of it.
“The burgers in Washington are really good, I need to buy a few more.” If Wade could turn into a burger, Fred would definitely shove this chattering burger into his mouth as quickly as possible.
