Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

Outside the courtyard, the moon has set in the west and the sky has not yet come out.

This is the darkest period before dawn.

Just as Donald's heart was filled with fear now, darkness tightly enveloped him like the curtain of death.

"Huh, huhu..."

Suppressed gasps sounded in his ears, and Donald couldn't tell whether it was from his subordinates or his own, but he had no idea of ​​exploring it now, and he didn't even dare to make any sound.

The moist and greasy feeling keeps sliding on the cheek, like a tentacle covered in mucus touching the brow bone, eye sockets, and corners of the lips...

The sweet and fishy taste gradually crawled from the tip of his tongue to the bottom of his heart. Donald knew that it was not a tentacle, but brain mixed with blood. Not long ago, these were still sitting safely in the mind of a predator.

It wasn't until an arrow shattered his entire head that Donald's face was smeared.

Hell, for the first time, he knew that in addition to heavy sniper rifles, bows and arrows could also blast a person's head.

Blood began to seep into his eyes, and bursts of sourness continued to come from his eyes, but Donald still opened his eyes wide and glanced around, even though the deepest darkness was all around him.

Ten minutes ago, the situation was great. He was leading his men to bombard the room where the archer and X-24 were.

He didn't care whether X-24 could survive. Anyway, the left and right were just experimental products. Even if they were scrapped, they could make a new one, but the archer had to die.

The phantom pain that came from his right arm from time to time made his hatred grow like weeds.

The fire of the explosion made him extremely excited. He didn't believe that the damn mutant could survive under such firepower.

But as a pickup truck drifted, everything changed, and they turned from predators to prey.

When Donald and others recovered from the collision of the pickup truck, the nightmare came.

Two arrows appeared silently, and the two predators who had just climbed up from the ground lay back on the ground again, with no chance to get up again.

Donald completely witnessed the entire process of the arrow piercing the skull and then the head exploding. At that time, the head was only 20 centimeters away from him.

In the panic, no one paid attention to where the arrows came from, they just fired randomly forward.

It wasn't until two arrows quietly appeared again, this time knocking out two street lamps in the courtyard, and darkness came like a tide, covering the entire courtyard, that everyone finally calmed down.

But then the nightmare begins, a massacre in the dark begins.

Arrows flew out from everywhere in the darkness, like the scythe of death harvesting life, silent, silent, but deadly.

One by one, the predators fell in the darkness, stabbed through the throat, eye sockets, and between the eyebrows.

There were no footsteps, no sound, and they didn't even know which direction the enemy was. Fear seemed to turn into a poisonous snake, gripping their hearts tightly.

There was no use in shooting, and there was no use in escaping. They were enveloped in darkness, and they only knew that if they shot, they would die, and if they made sound, they would die. Fire and sound were the best beacons in the darkness.

In just a few minutes, only Donald and one of his men were left alive in the entire team. They hid in the back of the pickup truck, but still did not relax at all, and even took a cautious breath.

Donald looked around, but there was nothing but darkness.

call out!

A slight sound broke through the air, and Donald's pupils shrank, and then there was a warm and wet touch on his face.

He turned his head stiffly, and the last of his men was also penetrated by an arrow from the side of his neck. Now the whole arrow was still inserted across his neck, and the tail of the arrow was swinging up and down with the twitching of his body, like a vicious snake. .

The subordinate was not dead yet, and he wanted to say something in a whisper, but he was unable to speak. Only blood-colored foam kept overflowing from his mouth.

Looking at the gradually darkening eyes of his men, Donald suddenly calmed down. After a moment of silence, he stood up suddenly and fired wildly in all directions with the assault rifle in his hand.

The tongue of flame from the gun roared noisily to the surroundings, extremely dazzling in the dark night.

"Damn mutant, give me..."

Before he finished speaking, there was another soft sound, and the arrow had entered Donald's mouth and penetrated straight through the back of his head.

As the body fell heavily to the ground, silence returned to the courtyard.

[You killed the raider leader, Donald Pierce. 】

[Donald Pierce is a key character in the plot and has obtained 6.3% of the source of the world. He has now obtained a total of 6.3% of the source of the world. 】

Xu Yue calmly walked out of the darkness. Concealment was the advantage of bows and arrows over guns. Coupled with the extraordinary perception brought by his improved intelligence, he completed an elegant massacre in the darkness.

Putting away the Xiaoyun Bow again, Xu Yue first put away the green treasure box suspended on the body. Donald's individual strength was not outstanding, but the predator organization he led was very powerful, and then the green treasure box was exploded.

After putting the treasure box into the storage space, Xu Yue did not leave directly. Instead, he roughly rummaged through Donald's body.

Ten seconds later, looking at the green potion in his hand, Xu Yue raised his eyebrows slightly. Sure enough, touching corpses is a good habit and must be continued.

After putting away the medicine, Xu Yue looked in the direction of the truck in the distance, where there was one last trouble.

Just as he was about to leave, there was a sound of footsteps coming from behind.

The visitor was Logan who came out of the room. It was obvious that he was very angry now, his eyes were scarlet, and his body was shaking slightly uncontrollably.

Seeing Luo Gen's state, Xu Yue roughly guessed the reason.

"With the professor's ability, how could..."

With the professor's psychic ability, after he stopped X-24, he didn't think the group of predators could do much harm to the professor. Even X-24 could only succeed in the sneak attack because it was a clone of Logan.

Logan was silent for a moment and then said:

"It's a small robot controlled by a program."

Xu Yue didn't speak anymore. He was not very good at comforting himself. What's more, Logan had basically lost everything now, and his words were sometimes too pale.

The atmosphere was dull for a moment, and then Logan spoke again:

"Charles is not dead yet, but time is running out. I want to take him to the hospital, but he doesn't want to."

"He no longer wants to live. Ever since he killed the X-Men with his own hands, he has been begging for death every time he wakes up. It was me who forced him to stay."

Luo Gen's voice was very soft, but Xu Yue heard it clearly.

"Ha! Maybe I should have freed him earlier. I've just seen too many deaths, but I was the only one who survived every time..."

Logan paused, as if he was recalling something, with a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, and then continued: "Scott once said that not everyone's wounds heal as fast as mine."

"But now I seem to be losing my ability to heal myself..."

Logan said while playing with an Adamant metal bullet in his hand, which was the last one he kept for himself.

His body was now covered with wounds that could not be healed, but these were far inferior to the blood dripping from his heart.

His tone was very calm, as if he was just chatting, but Xu Yue didn't know how to speak.

"Charles wants to meet you one last time, Xinhuo."

Logan looked at Xu Yue with a somewhat complicated look. He already knew Xu Yue's abilities from Charles.

"good."

After Xu Yue agreed, he pointed to Logan in the direction of the truck in the distance.

"There's a truck there, and as expected, the planner of this arrest is there, and you should be happy to deal with it."

"...Of course!" Logan gritted his teeth and showed a fierce look in his eyes.

Xu Yue then turned and walked towards the room. When passing by the living room, X-24 was already tied up with iron chains in the corner. This should have been done by Logan. Now X-24's legs are basically only bones, and the section is full of flesh and blood. It's blurry, and you can vaguely see the entangled and twisting flesh buds, which looks particularly oozing.

But this is common for Xu Yue. Although the mission goal is right in front of him, he is not in a hurry. The gains in this world are more than that.

Walking up the stairs, Xu Yue came to the professor's room. The door was full of mess, and what he saw was a body lying on the ground. He died in a tragic state, with broken mechanical parts scattered around.

The predator took advantage of the fight between Xu Yue and X-24 to climb over the wall from the backyard to the professor's room. After being controlled by the professor, he successfully shot the professor with the robot on his body, and was then furiously killed by Lao. Pulled almost to shreds.

This is an additional arrangement that is separate from the original work. Even though Xu Yue has worked very hard to maintain the plot, his existence still brings many variables, such as making Dr. Rice and others more cautious.

Stepping over the body, the professor was still lying on the big bed, but now the big bed was full of blood. Laura was trying hard to press the professor's abdomen, but blood still continued to seep out from between her fingers.

The professor's face was pale and he was talking to Laura in a low voice. When he saw Xu Yue coming in, he smiled at Xu Yue. He didn't seem to be afraid of dying, but was very relaxed.

"Xinhuo, you are here."

"Sorry, Professor."

Xu Yue didn’t say why he apologized, but the professor could understand the reason. He patted Laura’s blood-stained little hand with a kind look.

"Has everything been resolved outside?"

"It's solved, there will be no obstacles in Laura's next journey." Xu Yue said with certainty.

"That's good, that's good..."

"With children, mutants have a new future."

The professor’s tone was full of hope, but Laura pressed the wound tighter.

"Xinhuo, kill me."

The professor said it very calmly, just like an ordinary greeting, with a bit of smile in his tone.

"……good."

"Remember, you are the one who controls the power. In the end, help Logan. I have troubled you along the way."

"do not worry."

"farewell."

A moment later, the surging fire shot straight into the sky, almost filling the entire second floor.

[You killed the fourth-level mutant Professor X, Charles Francis Xavier. 】

[Professor 】

[You get a treasure chest (blue)]

Looking at the boiling fire in front of him, Xu Yue swallowed his saliva. He felt that he might die from the fire.

Before absorbing it, Xu Yue looked at Laura who was at a loss.

"Laura, tell Logan, don't kill the clone downstairs, I'll be of great use."

Then the fire that filled the sky began to shrink, sweeping Xu Yue up. He seemed to feel the mental shock of the landslide and tsunami again, and then he became unconscious again.

"what is that?"

Downstairs, Caliban, who had just escaped from the cage, looked at the boiling purple fire on the second floor and asked in surprise.

Logan didn't speak, but clenched his fists tighter. Both he and Laura knew Charles's plan, but had no reason to stop it.

With Charles's physical condition, he couldn't survive the hospital. This was the last thing Charles could do for them.

There was a significant increase in reader comments yesterday, so I will post early today.

By the way, the manuscript is almost finished and it is really slow for newbies to type.

Finally, I would like to thank you all for taking the trouble to correct the chapter errors.
