The Geared Immortal

Chapter 403 - 398a

The counter-attack Part 2

/*unedited*/

The air felt stifling while the group of men is working in front of a machine, that's making the cement. Their brows and body filled with the stink of sweat and dust in the air made their skin looks rough and gray.

The people inside the cement factory are currently working hard to finish their job.

While this is happening in the shadows a group of people are slowly sneaking inside while trying to make sure that they are not noticed.

As they crept inside the factory, they noticed some irregularities that came from the report. It was true that the people inside working are not normal humans. The hundreds of people are actually ghouls that are moving like robots.

But then they noticed something, the supposed cement that the ghouls are mixing are not cement but black and white substance which is unknown to them.

"Faster you fools! We must finish delivering these things to the water system of the city. This would turn everyone into more mindless ghouls for the princess. Kekeke…" a tall man clad in black shouted.

Captain James Crugger clenched his fist upon hearing the man's words. If the plan of these evil people would come true then it would cause a problem for the whole of Detroit. Plus if the people turn into ghouls, then that would mean more trouble for the country.

"Execute the plan immediately…" said Captain James.

However, before they can move, they heard someone's voice at the top of the factory building.

"My, my… If it isn't my old friend, Captain James Crugger." A tiny voice of a girl echoed through the air.

With her voice comes the attention of every ghouls and mutant inside the building.

"Shit! We've been discovered!" shouted a voice from the intercom.

"Captain, our position was compromised."

"Captain a large group of ghouls are starting to surround, the factory."

The reports began to come in from the other teams in the area.

"Damn it, we were too careless." Captain James muttered while clenching his fist more tightly.

From their hiding position, he and his team slowly got up and reveal themselves. But their powers are already activated as they are prepared to fight.

"Oh, what a nice lineup," Bloodrain said with a smirk on her face.

"Everyone, attack!" shouted Captain James without hesitation as his group began to move.

Energy projection, laser, and projectiles began flying in the air as the two forces clash.

Captain James found himself facing a powerful mutant known for his code name, Blast. The two slowly circled each other while the chaos around them is happening.

"It's finally nice to meet the famous Captain James Crugger."

"Likewise, here… Blast."

"I see that you already know my name, then you might have known my ability then… Hehe…"

"Well, let's see who the better fighter is then." Captain James said as he suddenly lifted his index finger.

Blast didn't hesitate and also began to attack. Controlling the invisible energy to fly through his target, Blast could have been the perfect assassin. However, Captain James left eye which is covered with an eye patch is actually special.

The reason why he covers his left eye is that he can see energy around him while the patch is covered. If he removes the cover then his vision will be filled only with the energy in the air and he is unable to see normally.

So when the energy balls began to fly towards him, he is able to detect them with ease. With his agile movement, he is able to easily dodge the flying invisible bombs.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sounds of random explosions began to cover the area as the clash between mutants intensifies.

Meanwhile, Captain James and Blast exchange blow after blows using their powers, and the area they are fighting at are already in ruins.

While Captain James and Blast are facing each other, two large figures are also exchanging blows with their fist. Broody, the bulky Russian man with his strong fist faces Dozer in an exchange of pure brute strength.

On another side, Magenta is facing the ghouls along with Owl.

While Night Belle is facing two mutants, the woman who escaped from the base named Lotus and another mutant which can turn his skin into sharp thorns.

As the Omega Squad faces the mutants and the ghouls from the Blood Mutant Faction the area began to crumble.

When Shin Jiao and Shi Anne Li arrive, they saw the devastation and also saw a small figure in red floating above the chaotic scene.

"It's Bloodrain… she is the one who is responsible for the attack in the base?" Shin Jiao muttered as he looks at the situation.

"Yes, it was her. She also killed all the people in this place and turns them in her own ghouls." Shi Anne Li said with a dejected look on her face upon remembering those people who were killed and turned.

"Anne, you can handle yourself, right?" Shin Jiao asked in concern.

If he has the same power while in the Cultivation Land then he would be able to easily end everything with just his pressure. But upon passing through the portal he felt the power inside his body along with the rest inside his dantian frozen. He can only use 3 containers or 30 spheres at most.

But of course, his physique was not affected so, he is still good to fight them easily.

"Let's start with the boss…" Shin Jiao muttered as he looks at Bloodrain hovering in the air.

"Anne, help the rest as much as you can… but be careful, okay?" he said to Shi Anne Li as he suddenly grabs her arm.

Then without words, he gave her a kiss which took Shi Anne Li by surprise.

Shin Jiao carefully lets go of her as he touched her soft cheeks and gave a loving smile. In truth, he was reluctant to depart, but still, his mission is to help the Omega Squad and stop the Blood Mutant Faction.

"Umm…" Shi Anne Li just bowed her head shyly and ran in the opposite direction.
