American comics: From the old Uncle Wolf, he becomes omniscient and omnipotent

Chapter 22 021: Bounty Hunters and Task Forces

Tracking people is not an easy task. Usually, when tracking a person on the street, you have to hide in the flow of people.

But now when Rojo was walking in the alley, he didn't see a few figures at all. Only Lorna Dane was crouching and sneaking in front of her. The girl was focused on following the man in the distance. She didn't dare to follow too closely. When the opponent is far away, they will come out from behind the cover to follow.

Perhaps the girl was too engrossed in the situation, and she didn't even notice the young man approaching from behind.

Finally, after Lorna Dane followed him for nearly 10 minutes, she saw the man stop in front of a room across the road.

Then he knocked on the door, and a bearded man opened the door.

"You are still here!"

Lorna Dane bit the corner of her lip when she saw the bearded man, her eyes were full of hatred, and her previous pitiful demeanor was no longer at all, but more cold!
She looked up and looked around. This area was located in the City of Angels, the least crowded area. Especially during the lunch break, there were very few passers-by on the road.

Now is the best time to get started!
Suddenly, a hand from behind grabbed the girl's shoulder and pulled her violently behind the cargo box, "Lorna, what are you doing here?"

Lorna raised her hand almost subconsciously, and the metal dagger flew out from her waist, pointing directly at the young man in front of her.

Her cold eyes converged and she said in shock: "Rojo, why are you here!"

"I noticed something wasn't right about your mood, so I thought I'd follow up and have a look. It seems my hunch was right."

Rojo glanced at the two people across the street, "You're here to kill them, right?"

"I didn't."

Lorna hurriedly put away her dagger and said, "No matter what, you'd better leave here quickly. I'm a freak. What happens soon won't be too good."

"Freak?"

Rojo smiled, opened his palms, and a blue electric light appeared, "I don't think mutants are freaks. I prefer to call them evolution. We are more advanced humans."

"You're a mutant too!"

Lorna was surprised and delighted, and made no secret of her affection for her companions.

But the number of passers-by outside gradually made her face darken quickly, and she said unhappily: "You just made me miss the best opportunity. I had the chance to kill both of them!"

"You won't hide it now?"

Luo Huo was speechless. It was hard to think that the indifferent girl in front of him had looked so pitiful not long ago.

This is probably one of Little Polar Star's means of survival. After all, pretending to be pitiful is the best disguise.

"You made me miss the best opportunity to assassinate!"

Lorna's face was sullen, completely different from the poor girl squatting in the corner eating a burger before. Her eyes were full of murderous intent and anger.

"You kill them and you can still escape after being exposed?"

Rojo pointed outside the alley.

I saw a number of off-road vehicles parked outside, and a heavily armored special team came down from them to meet the two men from before and pick them up.

In front and behind, there were about ten vehicles belonging to the special forces, and everyone in the vehicle was loaded with guns and ammunition, and they drove away from this section of the road in a mighty manner.

Rojo doesn't think that Little Polaris at this stage can kill more than 100 people by himself, and he is also wearing special heavy armor.

"That's the task force, how did you know they were coming?"

Lorna was a little scared. If she had gone out just now, she would definitely be caught by the task force.

"I have better hearing and heard their movements."

Rojo looked at the special vehicles going away and asked, "Is that the task force?"

"Um"

Lorna looked at the motorcade going away, her eyes full of loss and resentment, and she was in no mood to answer Rojo's words.

"You seem disappointed."

Rojo noticed the girl's cold expression.

"Get out of the way. I don't want to talk to you right now. I should have killed them just now. When they leave with the task force, there will be no chance again."

Lorna pushed away Rojo in front of her and walked into the alley in despair.

"Even if it's death?"

Rojo asked.

"They killed my friend. You are also a mutant, so you shouldn't stop me!"

Lorna's expression was cold, her hands were tense and trembling, and for a moment, the metal devices around her vibrated.

But the next second, her eyes turned red, and she squatted on the ground, crying in despair, "I'm all alone now, I might as well die!" "Calm down, you missed the best opportunity to assassinate, but you didn't miss the best opportunity. Assassination, I can help you.”

Rojo felt that the more the girl cried, the more violent the metal vibration around him became, and the cell phone in his pocket was vibrating.

After a word, the girl raised her head, her fox tears overflowing, "Are you willing to help me?"

He added: "What are the conditions?"

"Honestly, I haven't known you for long, but you seem to understand me very well."

Luo Huo touched his nose guiltily and said, "My conditions are very simple. Once the matter is accomplished, you will join my team."

While speaking, he touched the arm in the sleeve, and faint runes appeared on the skin. Without looking at it with his eyes and feeling the physical condition, he could tell that he had successfully learned Lorna Dane's ability, but it was still very weak at the moment. Weak, but as long as you spend enough time with Lorna, you will learn it thoroughly sooner or later.

"Okay, I'm alone now anyway."

Lorna agreed without hesitation.

"Pleasant to work with."

Rojo didn't expect Polaris to agree so quickly, and he would have a powerful partner on the road from now on.

"How many people are on your team?"

Lorna asked curiously.

"It's just me for now. Don't look at me like that. There will be more people in the future."

Seeing Lorna's speechless face, Rojo said, "Let's talk about the task force and your enemies. I have to understand their situation first."

"Rojo, I'm a little hungry. Can you treat me to a meal and sit down and talk slowly?"

"All right."

In a restaurant private room, at the dinner table, Rojo learned about the mutant task force for the first time from Lorna.

In the early years, there was no task force, only bounty hunters. However, in recent years, in order to strengthen the crackdown, the American government formed a powerful team, and all the elites were summoned to form the mutant task force. An army used to capture mutants.

It was also because the task force was established not long ago. Rojo had never encountered the task force. He only heard about it occasionally or saw it on the news, but he had some understanding of it in his previous life.

The task force has sophisticated equipment, and they are good at using technology to find the weaknesses of mutants and create corresponding weapons to restrain them.

According to Lorna Dane, the shelter she was originally in was surrounded by task forces and bounty hunters. In this operation, they used this technology for the first time to specifically attack the weaknesses of mutants. , restrain all the few mutants with combat capabilities in the shelter!
Lorna was also one of the restrained ones. The task force used special sonic weapons to interfere with her nerves and prevent her from concentrating on using her abilities.

In the end, she was lucky enough to escape from the chase through a sewer.

"They didn't see my face, so they dared to assassinate me, but they couldn't do it."

Lorna asked weakly, "Am I too weak?"

"You've done a great job, don't blame yourself too much."

Rojo said consolingly.

For a mutant girl in her early teens, it was already very good to be able to master her own abilities, not to mention that the opponent had specialized weapon restraints.

You should know that at the same age, her father Magneto has not yet awakened his mutant powers, and seems to be still working hard in a concentration camp.

Rojo asked again, "Why did those two bounty hunters become your main targets?"

"They killed my friend and brought the task force to the shelter, all because of them."

Lorna said with a cold face and gritted teeth.

"The three shelters I stayed in before were all found by bounty hunters, and they were all killed by me later."

Rojo understood the girl's mood.

“Now we’re a piece of gold.”

Lorna reached out and shook Rojo's strong arm and said, "Especially a mutant like you, who is young and in good health, is a perfect experimental subject that many people want."

"Just in good health and young? I think my value is much more than that."

Rojo smiled and added: "Bounty hunters only collect money to do things. If no one pays, they won't do it."

"Unless you can change the world and change the way people think about mutants."

Lorna played with the meatballs in the bowl, poked a hole in it, opened her mouth and ate half of it, "It's like this meatball, holding the world between your fingers."

She looked at the remaining half of the meatballs with a gloomy expression, "Unfortunately, that's simply impossible."
