The Geared Immortal

Chapter 396 - 394b

The Attack of the Mutants Part 6

/*unedited*/

Inside a room, everything was peaceful while Susan Tang and the rest are trying to hear the commotion outside. But to their surprise then they can sense nothing. It was as if the whole place is separated from the world and everything that's happening outside is not related to them.

"This is mysterious…" Sergeant Kelly muttered as she tried to touch the slightly flickering light on the hallway separating the last four rooms to the rest.

"I wonder what's happening outside?" the other soldier beside her asked as she too inspected the slightly flickering barrier.

"Let's go back inside. I think we are safe here." Sergeant Kelly said as the two walked back in Susan Tang's room.

However, before they can open the door, they suddenly saw a huge figure walking out from the stairs. The guy is followed by a woman who looks petite, but the curves of her body are apparent with her tight camouflage suit.

The fat man is wearing a dark blue formal suit as if he is some big shot.

"This is the place, right?" the man said in a deep voice as the two continue walking.

Sergeant Kelly and her companion got their rifles ready. But they noticed that the two seem to be unable to see them even though they are standing in plain sight.

Unknown to them, what the two mutants are seeing is a wall and only those wearing the exoskeleton would be able to reveal what's behind the wall camouflage.

As they observe they tried to listen to the conversation of the two mutants in front of them.

"Do you think we can trust that traitor Slick?" the fat man asked the woman.

"I think so, he has a motive for betraying the Omega Squad." The woman replied.

"Motive? What was it? A woman? His family? Haha…"

"…"

The woman didn't answer right at this moment because she can feel something is amiss. She can feel that there seems to be someone watching them.

As she looks around cautiously the tension on Sergeant Kelly and her companion rises.

Then the woman saw something in the ceiling and with a flick of her hand, she threw out a dagger and broke the surveillance camera.

"Haha… you're too tense, all the cameras in this place are already down." The man said as he began to check the rooms on the floor.

After a while, the two left and went up to another floor.

"Hah… That was scary…" the woman soldier behind Sergeant Kelly muttered as she patted her bulging chest.

"Those two are the ones we need to be wary of, right?"

"Yes, they are the leader of the Russian Squad. That man escaped the police precinct in New York."

The two entered the room and saw Susan Tang secretly monitoring the window. When she noticed the two entering the room, she immediately asked.

"What's happening outside?"

"Nothing, but we saw two dangerous individuals… But I guess we are safe here." Sergeant Kelly said.

"That's…" Susan Tang said but then suddenly a large disturbance interrupted the three.

Meanwhile, Park Jiyong barge into the room.

"There are two people attacking the barrier outside!" he shouted.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Everyone immediately became tense. Sergeant Kelly didn't know what happened as she saw the two going up to the next floor. In her mind, she thought that the two were another mutant group. So they immediately ran outside to see the situation.

However, she showed a horrified expression upon seeing the same couple standing outside of the barrier which is now filled with black smoke.

The fat man is already throwing sticky bombs on the barrier while the woman is standing beside him with look contemplation in her eyes.

"This is not a normal wall." The woman said after the black smoke slowly clears out revealing the still intact wall.

"We need to destroy this, maybe behind this wall is a secret room where those people are hiding." She added.

Meanwhile, the four people had a look of fear in their eyes upon feeling the loud explosion shaking the building. All the rooms beside them are now already in rubbles.

"What should we do?" asked Susan Tang with panic in her eyes.

"Let's try shooting them," suggested Park Jiyong as he prepares his handgun.

When the two soldiers saw his small handgun, they shook their heads.

How could that small handgun defeat the two mutants?

According to their data, the two are a tandem. The fat man throws sticky bombs, while the woman can protect him from any projectiles. So the two are like a mobile tank.

"Those two are not simple, your small gun would not have an effect on them." Sergeant Kelly said.

"It's better to try than wait, right?" Park Jiyong said while lifting the handgun and pointing it to the fat man.

He chooses the man because it's hard for him to miss the large body of the guy.

As Boomer was about to throw another sticky bomb, he felt something strange. An ominous feeling suddenly crept into his heart. He wanted to move, but it was already too late.

Peng!

Silver light suddenly flashes and a large hole appears on Boomer's shoulder almost taking out his right arm.

Arrgghh!!!

Lotus who is standing beside him was stunned at this scene as she didn't expect such an event to happen. And before she knew it, it was too late.

But as a support mutant, she was very quick to respond as she suddenly jumps towards Boomer and lifted her hand to protect her companion who is already bleeding profusely from his gaping wound.

"Gasp! Gasp! It's too painful! My arm!... My arm!" Boomer cried out as he tried grabbing his shoulder.

The extreme pain is far too much for him as he suddenly felt his consciousness fading.

Seeing her companion losing consciousness, Lotus immediately felt a dangerous premonition. He turns her gaze towards the wall. But then another flash appears and to her horror, it broke her almost impenetrable shield.

Lotus was thrown because of the backlash.

But then she suddenly disappears before landing on the ground.
