Multi-Gene

Chapter 143 - Ambushed

Stroking his forehead with his fingers, David frowned softly as he contemplated on the exact location the supply box might be situated.

But when he went in search for it, he couldn't even find its shadow. Time was gradually ticking and the angry Dark wolves would soon lose their patience, unable to handle the temptation of his blood and rush back into the building.

At that time, David hoped to have found the box by then. Suddenly, a light bulb flashed in his eyes as they lit up in glee.

After making sure the numbers of wolves outside the old building was complete, he immediately rushed to the top floor of the building.

He could roughly remember that the Dark wolf King's life dot was originally at the uppermost floor of the building.

It might actually be the place the supply box had been hidden at. Rushing straight through the stairs.

David immediately forced the still hanging iron doors open and a terrible smell graced his presence.

David didn't even flinch as he was already used to such smell. It wasn't his first time anyways and from how things are developing, it wasn't going to be his last.

David surveyed the environment. The surroundings was completely dark as night, with not a single hint of light in sight.

David couldn't even spot a thing. But as David wanted to speak up, a soft holographic day of light shone from his imprint, softly lighting up the surrounding area.

 It's appears that Hazel takes her job more seriously, David joked softly in his head.

Although the light wasn't very bright to to lighting up the entire area, it was still enough for David to see a few meters before him and his eyes lit up in joy as he spotted a silver looking luxurious box.

"He he he." David chuckled in glee, rubbing his hands together and he then immediately, he stepped forwards, rapidly closing in on the box.

David's body shivered in ecstasy. He swiftly placed his imprint on the small scanner available on the box.

This security method had been placed by the institute so as to prevent mutants or evolved beasts alike from ever opening a box and fif the box is being put under intense pressure, it would immediately self destruct. Both mutants and evolved beast learnt this lesson the hard way.

Waiting quietly, for the small holographic progress bar to reach its completion David began humming joyfully to himself.

But as the bar approached its end in two seconds, David's expression darkened desperately and fear enveloped his eyes.

From the corner of his eyes, a swipe was swiftly heading in his direction. The claw had been so fast that by the time David noticed the disturbance in air flow, the claw attack had already reached his back.

"Shit!"

Clang!

It was like an explosion sounded off in his and immediately, David felt his vision spinning and his head ringing as a terrifying force hit him from the back, sending him flying towards the wall in the distance.

The backpack in his back shattered into multiple pieces and the contents within scattered around the area

Boom!

His body was sent forwards, deeply imprinted deeply into the wall demarcating wall, but eventually slid down due to gravity.

David could not feel nor could he hear anything. It felt like his bones had been broken. He coughed out two mouthfuls of blood to relieve the blockages in his lungs.

It was unknown since when but it seems the Dark wolf had been quietly laying at a blind spot in the darkness where David couldn't see, waiting for David to completely let down his guard before abruptly launching an attack at him.

Dark wolves were especially gifted with the ability to see in the dark, while their perception would be severely reduced once they emerged into the light.

The dark wolf had definitely successfully caught him off guard.

Walking slowly but elegantly, the wolf approached David who was still lying on the floor while groaning and David could finally catch a glimpse at it.

The dark wolf was definitely big but not as big as the dark wolf King. David wanted to slap himself at his stupidness. If there was an Alpha wolf, there definitely had to be a Beta Wolf.

It's expression was evil and sinister as it approached the still softly groaning David. Its mouth drooled with its disgustingly thick saliva, the greed was immense.

From the heartbeat it could hear, although the human was a little weak, if it could just eat this human up, why would there be a need to listen to the alpha when it would evolve to an even stronger beast than the alpha after eating the human.

The cunning wolf didn't even bother sending any waves to the alpha that it had caught the target.

After a few seconds, the groaning sound coming from David's mouth had quietened down and he lay down with his back to the ground, his face to the air and his eyes shut while his breathing was non existent. It was as though he had died.

The wolf sniffed slightly, seemingly wanting to feel his breath. It was still cautious though as it circled around David but its greed overcame it as it pounced at David, intending to devour his heart first before devouring every other place.

'Now!' David screamed in his head and immediately, the holographic brightness his imprint was emitting, shone blindingly bright that it almost seem as though a sun sun was in that floor its self. If it were not for his tough and fleshy eye lids, he might have even blinded himself.

Even the wolves outside couldn't deal with the bright rays of light that had managed to escape from that floor.

The beta Wolf yowled in pain and misery and immediately, it's eyes exploded into pools of blood.

Crying out in anguish, it jumped up and down as though that would relieve its pain.

After a second, the light receded as though it was never there, and darkness returned to the surroundings.
