Chapter 7 Rescue and Killing
Under water, Kevin not only improved his physical abilities, but his hearing and vision were also strengthened to a certain extent.
His vision allows him to see everything clearly in the dark depths of the sea.
His hearing can pick up all sounds within a few miles.
Only in water though.
If you follow the ocean current, Kevin can hear farther.
So now that Kevin is underwater, he can clearly hear the cry for help coming from the distant sea.
When Kevin heard the cry for help, he hesitated for a moment and swam quickly towards the source of the cry for help.
Kevin doesn't think he is a superhero, and he would never do anything self-sacrificial for others.
But if he meets someone who can be saved within his ability, Kevin probably won't refuse.
So now when he heard someone calling for help in the ocean, Kevin swam over immediately. He planned to see what the situation was and then decide what to do next.
The cry for help was not too far away from where Kevin was.
After all, Kevin's hearing range is only a few miles underwater. This range, based on Kevin's speed of traveling underwater, is only half a minute.
When he got to the water where the accident happened, Kevin realized that something was wrong.
Originally, he thought that someone accidentally fell into the water and couldn't swim, so he called for help on the sea.
But actually——
"Don't let her get away!"
"The one over there has been captured, and the one over here can't be let go! If not, kill her!"
"No... don't! Don't kill me!! Help!!"
The ferocious voices of men and the screams of women sounded below a small boat.
A ragged woman was swimming desperately towards the brightly lit city by the sea.
Behind her, the fishing boat's searchlight was shining directly on her body. A group of guys who looked like bad guys at first glance showed their tattooed arms, holding guns in their hands, aiming at the fleeing woman below.
Kevin saw all this clearly underwater, and when he noticed that there were many foreigners in shabby clothes on the boat, who looked like refugees, he guessed something.
Human smuggling...and it is human smuggling that specializes in smuggling foreigners under the pretext of "smuggling".
This group of people should be gangsters in New York.
"...It seems like this is not an ordinary accident, so can I leave? After all, they have guns."
Kevin murmured in his mind.
If it was just an ordinary drowning incident, Kevin could rush to save people and then increase his popularity.
But this matter involves a gangster, and the other party has a gun.
Although Kevin is certain that his defensive power should be equivalent to that of Starlight, and he is not afraid of ordinary firearms. Even powerful sniper rifles should be ineffective against him.
But after all, this kind of thing has never been done before, and Kevin is still a little frightened.
According to his previous thinking, he should turn away immediately and leave this matter to the people who should handle it, such as the police or the FBI.
But looking at the familiar oriental faces on the boat, Kevin couldn't help but sigh.
"After all, I am also a superhero. Let's do what a superhero should do today."
After briefly observing the hands above, Kevin started his own action.
He lurked under the water, and when several people above him were about to shoot the fleeing woman, he directly dragged the woman under the water and covered her mouth and nose to prevent her from choking.
Two seconds later, Kevin, who was carrying the woman, came to the back of the boat. He first took the woman out and threw her into the boat, and then immediately controlled the two people holding guns at the stern of the boat.
The powerful force and speed prevented the two people at the stern of the boat from reacting before they were knocked to the ground by Kevin.
At the same time, the firearms in their hands were also crushed by Kevin with brute force.
"Wait...yes! It's the deep sea!!"
Kevin was wearing a hero uniform and standing under the lights of the ship. The gangsters quickly recognized Kevin's identity.
One of them pointed at Kevin and shouted loudly, while the stowaways looked at Kevin in horror.
They are all foreigners. They don't seem to know the deep sea, nor do they understand what the gangsters are shouting.
Seeing that these people knew him, Kevin put his hands on his hips, assumed a standard superhero posture, and said:
"It seems that if you all know me, then things will be much easier. Now, put down your weapons and raise your hands to surrender. I can guarantee that your lives will not be in danger."
"Deep Sea? You...you can't take action against me! We...we are arranged by the motherland..."
One of them suddenly stood up and pointed at Kevin and was about to say something.
But when he heard the word 'patriot' in this man's mouth, Kevin's expression suddenly changed. He came to this man very quickly, pinched his mouth with one hand, and blocked all his words. In the mouth.
"?!"
Kevin's sudden movement surprised all the remaining gangsters. They subconsciously pointed their guns at Kevin, with the hollow muzzles pointed directly at Kevin's head.
Glancing at the guns in the hands of these gangsters, Kevin sighed softly and whispered to the man who was obviously the leader:
"Why do you mention the people of the motherland?"
"Hmm!?"
"What a shame, I didn't want to kill anyone."
Kevin said, twitching his fingers slightly.
Following his movements, ripples appeared on the water near the ship. Drops of water left the water and gathered in the air to form transparent water arrows.
The water arrows were suspended on the backs of the gang members' heads, invisible to them, and aimed at their vitals.
Including the two people who were knocked unconscious by Kevin just now, a total of ten gang members on the boat are now being stared at by water arrows.
"shot!!"
"Tsk."
Originally, Kevin was still hesitating whether to take action, but suddenly someone opened fire and pulled the trigger, making Kevin no longer hesitant.
The bullet came out of the gun, landed on Kevin, and bounced off the hard skin.
The fourth-level superhuman physique can already withstand most thermal weapons, which is not beyond Kevin's expectations.
While the opponent was taking action, Kevin also controlled the water arrow, penetrating the weakest spot on the back of those people's heads.
Swish——
With an almost unison sound, the water arrows sank into the backs of the gang members' heads. In an instant, all the gang members were killed by Kevin's water arrows.
It was the first time in his life that Kevin had killed someone, and it was a little hard to calm down. But surprisingly, he didn't feel any nausea, but he just felt uncomfortable.
"Don't blame me, who told you to mention the people of the motherland."
Kevin thought to himself.
He didn't want to kill anyone, but the fact that these guys mentioned the people of the motherland proved that these people were related to the people of the motherland. Thinking of the original plot where the people of the motherland secretly leaked compound No. 5 and experimented on human bodies, Kevin knew , I'm afraid I'm in trouble.
There is no way, in order to prevent the people of the motherland from knowing that he already knows about this, Kevin can only kill them.
Anyway, as long as this incident is over, without any evidence, Kevin insists on saying that he just carried out an ordinary crime fight, and the people of the motherland can't do anything to him.
After all, what the people of the motherland do is inherently shameful.
As for now...
"Ships ahead! All personnel please lower your weapons! Repeat! Please lower your weapons!!"
The maritime patrol officer in charge of patrol arrived here at the right time.
Kevin put down the body in his hands and raised his hands in the midst of many lights, with a calm expression and even a business smile.
It seemed that he didn't need to do the collecting of the corpses.
