The Geared Immortal

The attack of the mutants Part 4

/*unedited*/

The three wanted to greet the man in front of them, but a dangerous feeling is creeping on their body which screams of the perilous situation they are in right now.

So they didn't utter a word and just held their guns on their hand.

"Keke… You three are very perceptive ain't ya? Well, I'm just here for the girls, you boy can just die!" Slick suddenly said then vanished from his spot.

The next thing they knew is Park Jiyong flying forward while screaming.

The figure of Park Jiyong rolled to the ground in a sorry manner. But he didn't let go of the gun in his hand.

Meanwhile, Slick who just attacked Park Jiyong from behind had a look of confusion in his eyes. He felt something strange when he stabbed the young man from behind. It was like there was a strong force stopping his long blade from entering the flesh or even the man's clothes.

Then when he turned his gaze towards the young man, he was still taken aback as it seems that there are no wounds on his body.

But suddenly, Slick felt a dangerous premonition as his body automatically reacted by shifting to his left side.

Then his eyes met the nozzle of a handgun pointing at his direction. He though it has already fired a shot but it didn't, it was a killing intent bluff. But before he can react, she just saw a flash and he felt something stung his right hand followed by a large amount of pain.

Slick was not able to react immediately as his right hand was blasted apart by Shi Anne Li who is standing on the side with a smirk on her face.

Although Shi Anne Li looks like a simple woman, she is actually a trained spy. Plus she knew how to control her intentions, that's why Shin Jiao wasn't able to know that she was a spy.

Slick didn't linger as he immediately vanished.

He didn't expect to suffer such a loss while facing three normal people. But he could not jeopardize himself as he suddenly felt an ominous feeling towards the beauty who just shot him. He knew that she is not as simple as she looks, and he fell for her trap.

"Jiyong! Are you okay?" Susan Tang ran towards Park Jiyong who is lying on the ground with disbelief plastered all over his face.

He then jumps up while a smile appears on his face.

"I will never take this off in my entire life…" he suddenly muttered.

He clearly knew that at that time he would already be dead. But his eyes saw a really quick flash of light and he found himself being poke behind him. While tumbling, he saw the sharp long blade on Slick's hand and already knew what had happened.

"Let's go!" shouted Shi Anne Li.

The three ran towards the bend and saw the entrance of the building. But then they encountered another group who looks in distress while firing their guns towards a person.

The bullets could not penetrate the man as he held his hand forward and a blue light covers him and the people behind him.

"A mutant!" Shi Anne Li muttered.

"That's General McGrady's group!" Susan Tang exclaimed upon seeing the middle-aged man escorted by a handful of soldiers.

Shi Anne Li didn't hesitate as she suddenly rushed forward towards the group. Upon reaching 200 meters she pointed the handgun on her hand towards the mutant raising the energy shield.

Peng!

The sound of shield breaking echoed through the air as the mutant stood dumbfounded. He didn't expect his energy projection would be broken.

Then suddenly a couple of rapid rifle shots followed which killed some of the mutants standing behind him.

With wide eyes, the mutant glared at the soldier who killed his comrade. He growled and lifted his hand to create another energy shield. But as soon as the shield was erected it was immediately destroyed.

This made the man staggered back and spews a mouthful of blood from the backlash of his power.

"Retreat! Comrades! Retreat!" the man shouted in Russian.

But still, some were not fast enough and was caught in a crossfire and ending up dead on the ground without even using their mutant power.

"General! Are you okay?" shouted Susan Tang as she approached the group.

Seeing a beautiful woman followed by a handsome man running towards them, everyone relaxed for a bit. Then they saw another beautiful woman from the side also walking towards them while casually reloading her weapon.

"Oh, the three of you are here. I was about to go and rescue you. But I guess I was the one ending up being rescued. Haha…" the middle-aged general gave an awkward laugh.

"General it would be safe if you follow us to our quarters. The protection was set up by Shin. So it is very safe there." Susan Tang offered.

"Haha… Don't worry about me. Just go and attend to your safety. We still need to rescue our mutant squad trapped in the training are." General McGrady said rejecting the offer.

"Oh… Umm… General, there is a traitor. We encountered Slick, I think he was the one responsible for all of this… This is just my assumption though. Just be careful." Susan Tang said what's on her mind to warn the General.

This made General McGrady frown a bit and nodded his head.

"Susan, I will go with them… You two stay in Shin's quarters." Shi Anne Li said as she decided to help.

"Wait! What? But Anne, Shin told us to…"

"It's okay… in truth, I am also a soldier. So you don't have to worry about me, okay?" Shi Anne Li said as she squeezes Susan Tang's soft hand.

The group of General McGrady went to the training grounds along with Shi Anne Li, while Susan Tang reluctantly enters Shin Jiao's quarters with Park Jiyong.

She wanted to call Shin Jiao but it seems that there is something jamming the signal, so she can just helplessly sigh.

"Shin… where are you?" She muttered while lying on the bed.
