Superpowers in the Marvel World

Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Pursuit



"Devil, devil, devil, that guy must be a devil!"

The white man muttered nervously under his breath, his vehicle swerving wildly like a drunken man. If it weren't for the late hour and the lack of traffic on the road, he would have crashed by now!

"The police, no, no, no, I have illegal weapons on me! They'll throw me straight into prison! Where should I go? Where should I go? That guy said he'd find me!"

Frantically driving the car, sweat dripping down his face, the white man panicked. The more he thought, the worse his expression became. "Damn it! **! God, why didn't you protect me?!"

Completely oblivious to the fact that things had escalated because of his own actions, he showed no sign of regret. Instead, he blamed God, cursing endlessly inside the car.

"Right, the base!"

In the middle of his curses, the white man's eyes suddenly lit up as he remembered the organization that had instructed them to capture "mutants." "They have a lot of current weapons and powerful guards. He definitely won't dare go to the base! And there are plenty of mutants and superhumans there. They'll definitely be interested in him. At that point, I'll be able to get more wealth!"

The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. The more he thought, the more it seemed like a great opportunity. The white man made a quick decision, turning the steering wheel and heading toward the coastline of a certain isolated island!

"Changed direction? Looks like he's heading to the so-called 'top' place."

Two kilometers away from the white man's vehicle, with countless buildings and debris in between, Alex walked at a steady pace, yet his eyes seemed as if they could pierce through the distance, clearly seeing the white man's movements.

"Tch! Finally woke up, huh?"

Alex smiled lightly. With a single step, his figure shot forward, covering several meters in an instant, always keeping within two kilometers of the white man's vehicle.

His "Annihilation Eye" allowed him to consciously absorb the "elf power" from the air and living beings, permanently enhancing his physical abilities and healing injuries rapidly—even near-fatal wounds. When he was willing to expend a large amount of elf power, his speed could reach an almost instantaneous level, resembling teleportation!

The white man thought he could escape Alex by driving a vehicle. How naive!

In fact, Alex had intentionally let the white man go from the beginning. His "Annihilation Eye" could efficiently siphon elf power from humans, strengthening himself. To him, humans were no different from monsters in a game. However, Alex was a man of principles—he only killed those who brought it upon themselves.

When Alex learned that there were figures behind the white man's actions, he had already targeted those hidden masterminds. Compared to the evil lackeys, those who were pulling the strings were the truly despicable ones and deserved to die. By exterminating them, he could also enhance his own strength. Why not take advantage of that?

Thus, Alex deliberately let the white man go, using him as bait to reel in the real culprits behind the scenes. It was a perfect opportunity to take them all down at once!

"Based on my experience watching Japanese anime in my previous life, those who specialize in capturing 'mutants' must be conducting experiments on their powers. I wonder what they could actually be testing?"

Thinking this, Alex quickened his pace, his figure shooting forward like an arrow, rapidly closing the distance to the white man's vehicle.

Two hours later, a small figure appeared in the distance. She was running with great effort, her focus intense as she seemed to be sensing something. She quickly chose the direction Alex had taken and jogged to follow.

......

After a night of running, the white man finally reached the coastline after refueling several times. He stopped the car and hurriedly got out, leaving his weapons behind in the vehicle.

Near the coast, there was a fairly large dock with numerous boats moored. Several soldiers equipped with weapons were cautiously patrolling the area. As soon as they saw the white man rushing toward them in a panic, two soldiers immediately approached, guns aimed at his head. "This is a military restricted area. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!"

"Here are my credentials! I need to get on the island immediately!"

The white man hurriedly handed over his credentials from his chest pocket, constantly glancing over his shoulder, terrified that Alex's figure might emerge from the night.

"The credentials are genuine and match the person. You can pass."

The two soldiers verified his information, and after confirming its authenticity, they returned the credentials to the white man, allowing him to proceed while notifying others to prepare a boat for him.

"Thank you!"

The white man took the credentials, casting one last glance behind him. When he saw no movement, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly adjusted his breathing and state of mind before swiftly heading toward the dock.

"I need to get on the island quickly and explain the situation about that guy!"

With that in mind, the white man picked up his pace and reached the dock where the personnel had already prepared the boat for him. He greeted them briefly, jumped onto the boat, and started it, swiftly cutting through the waves.

"Yep, just like the Japanese anime said, these large-scale human experimentation operations definitely have the involvement of the government!"

A thousand meters away from the dock, Alex stood there, completely relaxed, without the exhaustion one would expect after running all night.

"Alright, I'll go get a boat too. Otherwise, I won't be able to cross the ocean!"

With that, Alex slowly walked toward the dock controlled by the soldiers. The nearest port was dozens of kilometers away, and this was the closest place to get a boat. Of course, he wouldn't waste time walking unnecessary distances.

"Stop!"

One soldier aimed his gun at Alex as he walked toward the dock. The other soldiers, possibly underestimating him due to his young age, did not approach.

"This is a military restricted area! Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter! Kid, leave now." The soldier waved his gun at Alex, signaling for him to leave.

Ignoring the soldier, Alex continued walking. "I need a boat. Can you lend me one?"

"Stop! Stop right there!" The soldier shouted. Seeing that Alex did not halt, he immediately sensed something was wrong and shouted, "If you don't stop, I'll shoot!"

"Shooting? That firestick of yours can't even hurt me!" Alex sneered.

"Shoot!"

Seeing that Alex was coming at them with determination, the other soldiers quickly realized that the command from above was clear: "Unauthorized personnel must be shot on sight!" They dared not disobey, and they all aimed their guns at Alex.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A dozen submachine guns roared to life, their bullets shooting out in a dense barrage, forming a web of gunfire that flooded toward Alex, targeting the area within a few meters of his body...
