After killing Morgana, Mary Jane didn't intend to celebrate yet. There in a couple of seconds, there would be an explosion that would swallow everyone. Dr. Thompson was still trying his best to hold on until all of them left.After Morgana was killed, the SWAT team member who had been holding his head recovered and stood up slowly. He removed his helmet, taking a very deep breath as he looked around him."We don't have much time," Mary Jane said as she turned to look at Allen. "When is the device activating?"Allen turned to look at the device he had thrown at Morgana. It posed no threat to the Project Erebus agent and was just a ruse to distract her while Mary Jane dealt the fatal blow."It should activate in fifteen seconds," Allen said. "It can teleport a group of people away.""Up to how many people?" Mary Jane asked."It's supposed to be twenty but it's broken," Allen said. He still didn't have enough clearance to purchase real-time fatal items so he could only work with the brok
Seeing that the jet had mysteriously appeared on the roof of a seven-floored building, the SWAT team member and Stephanie couldn't help but show their shock. They had never seen something like this in their entire lives!"How did you do that?" the SWAT team member couldn't help but ask in shock. "How did you just make the jet appear out of thin air? Only gods can do that!"Stephanie turned to look at Allen who was standing beside her, expecting an answer from him. But he only put on a calm smile without saying anything. Only he knew that it was the Prime system that moved the jet here. Mary Jane didn't have such a power to do something as marvelous as that."If you want to know everything," Mary Jane said to the SWAT team member, "then you'll have to come with us to the safe house.""Alright," the SWAT team member replied with a nod. Although he was reluctant to part with everyone he had known in his entire life to follow a group of strangers, he had no other choice than to follow the
The jet flew away, leaving the place quickly. Below them, several police cars appeared but they were too late. Allen and the others were already gone. The cops couldn't help but come out of their cars, looking up in regret.In the jet Allen couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, seeing that everything had been over for the day. Danger was no longer looming about and they had even managed to get two Evolved. In his relaxation, he didn't know when he slept off.Except for Dr. Thompson who was still unconscious, the others were wide awake and seemed to be thinking about something. Their gazes were very much focused.Mary Jane was quite relieved that they didn't take the initiative to say anything. She was very tired and didn't have the strength to respond to any questions that they would have asked. Besides she was deep in her thoughts so she couldn't afford to be disturbed.George turned to look at Stephanie who was seated opposite him, his eyes shining with admiration. He would have
George was still thinking and didn't know when he subconsciously clenched his fists. His face had contorted into his frown after knowing that all the teammates he knew had died because of Project Erebus. He was suddenly filled with resentment for this government which was capturing people and using them for experiments. The government was supposed to help its citizens!He let out a deep sigh, probably knowing that he was still too powerless to do anything about Project Erebus. He was now an Evolved himself but he didn't yet know how to use his power. So he decided to first train himself with these people who had come to rescue Stephanie. When he was strong enough he would then go after Project Erebus. Even if it meant killing each member for decades, he had the strong resolve to do it till every member or agent of Project Erebus was wiped out completely from the surface of the earth. They had caused so many deaths and he couldn't lie low and watch them continue to kill people just for
After walking for an hour, Stephanie complained that she was very tired so they had to stop to get some rest. If not for the several large rocks and dangerous terrain, the group would have already gotten far. Due to the various climbing and jumping, the pace of the group was slowed and their physique was pushed to the limit. Only George who was once a member of the SWAT fared better due to the rigorous training he had to undergo."We'll rest here," Mary Jane said, turning to look at the group. All of them were now drenched in sweat, their expressions looking extremely tiring. If not for Stephanie voicing out her tiredness, the group would have continued walking despite being already tired.Thus the group sat down to rest. Allen was the most relieved because he had been carrying Dr. Thompson all along. If not for his being strong, he would have been the first to collapse under the strenuous weight of the doctor. He couldn't help but imagine how someone slim would weigh so much!As they
There was silence for some moments till Mary Jane announced, "Let's get out of here. We can't delay any longer."George who had wanted to ask what players and systems were suddenly became disappointed. But he soon washed away the disappointment because he would be spending time with Allen and Mary Jane who were way more experienced than him. There were several chances in the future to learn several things from them, uncovering the secrets that he had been trying to uncover for a long time now.Allen who had to carry the unconscious Dr. Thompson again couldn't help but flex his sour muscles. He took a very deep breath and made to carry the doctor when George came to his side."Let me help you, boss," George said with a smile. "After coming to save us from death, I feel indebted to you.""You wouldn't have died if Project Erebus had found you," Allen said. "They would have subjected you to various experiments till you finally lose your mind. When that happens you will only know one thin
As the group walked the vegetation around became scarcer and scarcer. Withered trees became more rampant and dying grasses were littered about. The temperature here also became higher than normal, the sun shining very harshly. It almost sucked the air out of their lungs but everyone continued walking. They couldn't afford to end up delaying as that would lead to them being captured by Project Erebus. Their bunch of agents seemed to be somehow everywhere. They had eyes and ears in all corners of the Earth.Mary Jane was the only one talking, her soft voice drilling into the ears of everyone. At least that was what gave the group the strength to continue walking or else they would have already collapsed under the harsh sun."Project Erebus is developing a system," Mary Jane said. "They have already created this consciousness which is capable of thinking on its own. I remember vividly how it seemed like a human.""You saw it?" Allen took the initiative to ask. Mary Jane hadn't mentioned
The group continued walking, passing several mountains before they finally arrived in front of a very large cave. This was the same cave where Mary Jane's hideout was hidden. Allen had already been here so he wasn't surprised. But that couldn't be said for George and Stephanie. They couldn't help but show skeptical expressions on their faces as they wondered what they were doing in front of a cave. Weren't they supposed to head to the hideout that Mary Jane had mentioned? Or was the hideout in this cave?I can't imagine that Mary Jane hides in this cave, Stephanie thought to herself. How does she even survive here? Where did she even get that jet if she lived in a place as bad as this cave?George on the other hand was different. Although he was skeptical he was expecting some kind of miracle from Mary Jane. He had already seen so much from her and was beginning to feel that the young woman already had so much to her sleeves.Mary Jane didn't say anything and walked to stand in front
