Chapter 386 - 386

The Rescue Incident

/*unedited*/

In an abandoned textile factory many armed men are roaming around about patrolling the area as if there is something precious hidden inside the dilapidated buildings. The patrolling armed men carried high caliber weapons that look intimidating and would deter any force that would try to enter the place.

Inside one of the buildings, a small girl wearing a tattered red dress with a large hole on her chest is currently lying on an operating table with five people busily operates on her wound.

Bloodrain lies on the table with a raged breathing.

Even though her wounds are healing in a fast rate, she is still losing more blood. It would not cause her death, but if she would fall into a deep sleep until her vitality would recover. And these people knew that it would take her hundreds of years before she can recover. The danger at this time in their clan is imminent and they can't waste 100 years of waiting just for her recovery.

So right now, the people around her busily attach many medical contraptions on her body. And it didn't take long before they finished. Then from a sealed container, one of the people wearing a medical gown took many bags of blood plasma.

Then they began attaching it on the contraptions connected on her body.

"I hope that we have enough blood to wake the princess up." One of the doctors said in Russian.

"Yes, I didn't know that she would go there and cause too much trouble."

"What was her goal?"

"I think she wanted to get the person who created the virtual world. Our intelligence said that it was a guy name Shin Jiao from China."

"Ah, her obsession in creating a utopia for our kind… She would stop at nothing to accomplish her goals."

The doctors breathe in a heavy sigh while watching the small girl on the cold operating table.

"We have to make sure that the Omega Squad would not get a word of her location, if not then she would be in danger."

"Don't worry too much… my team is already here. I'm sure that the princess would not face any more dangerous situation." Suddenly a man's voice entered the room making the doctors inside almost jump in surprise.

"Ah… Mr… Mr. Blast, sir. We are glad that you've come." A female doctor immediately greeted as she steps forward.

Blast didn't look at the doctor but just walks towards the table.

"Is her condition stable?" he asked without removing his gaze from Bloodrain.

"Yes, sir."

"Good, prepare the transfer procedure. We will be moving tonight."

"Wait… wait, comrade. It would be better to move tomorrow evening. If she moves now, then her stable condition will turn for worse."

"Hmm… Then move her into a more comfortable room."

The others nod helplessly and proceed with Blast's command.

While this is happening, Slick is just outside observing his surroundings and listening. Upon hearing the discussion of the group, he already has an idea of what the other side would do. So, he turns around and was about to teleport back when suddenly he felt his body stiffen.

He did not expect that someone would be able to attack him. He did everything he could to hide his presence but it was to no avail.

He fell from the roof as he could not control his body anymore from being too stiff as if he turned into stone. On his fall he hit the fire exit metal railings breaking his shoulder in the process. Then he fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Although he didn't die, he still suffered grievous injuries.

US, hidden special military Zone Alabama State

Many special dark blue planes that look like a futuristic VTOL aircraft are parked on the hangar. These futuristic planes are the prototype of the US military as a rapid response craft that is as fast as a fighter jet yet as nimble as a helicopter. They are like a futuristic concept art turned reality, and they call the ships, V05-Banshee.

It would be the aircraft that would be carrying the hundreds of members of the Omega Squad to everywhere in the world.

In the middle of the hangar lays a huge aircraft that towers the rest of the smaller ship, it looks like a C-17 carrier with different wings and engine, which looks just like the jet boosters of the V05-Banshee. It's called C-X01 Carrier.

When Captain James walks towards one of the Banshees he tried to contact Slick once again but his call did not connect. He already has his GPS on his tracker, so he wanted to hurry and travel back to the location where the GPS is pointing to.

"Slick, hold on man… We're coming to get you." He muttered.

There are four of them inside the passenger seat of the Banshee, him, Captain James Crugger, Dozer, Magenta, and Night Belle.

Magenta uses psychokinesis and is very proficient with it, while Night Belle has the ability to absorb any kind of energy and convert it into lasers.

Magenta is a 32­-year-old Caucasian man with a slim body and always likes to wear Chinese cultivator's robes. Since he discovers his ability in his younger years, he has been fascinated by the cultivation world in Chinese stories and novels. Hence, he likes to wear such clothes. Plus it makes him look the part with his ability.

He is a very relax yet quiet person.

Meanwhile, Night Belle is a happy go lucky young woman in her 20's. She has tan fair skin and wore a dark brown short hair. She always likes to wear fashionable clothes, especially skirts and blouses. On missions, she likes to wear slim fit leather jeans and black jackets, which would show the glow in her eyes when she activates her power.

As the four boarded the V05-Banshee, Captain James turns to look at Owl who is standing at the entrance of the hanger waving the group goodbye.

He flashed a gentle smile towards her direction and nodded his head before their ship flew to the skies.

Inside the secret base

Shin Jiao and his group followed a soldier towards a corridor and they entered an officer's room. The middle-aged looking man sitting behind the table lifted his head after the group entered.

"Sir, they are here." The soldier said after taking a salute.

"Thank you, you're dismissed."

After the soldier left, the middle-aged man which looks like a general stood from his seat and gesture the group to the sofa.

"Please make yourselves comfortable."

"I am General Thomas McGrady, and I welcome you to the Omega Squad secret base. We brought you here because this is the safest place we can think of. So I hope that you don't mind." The man named Thomas McGrady said with a smile.

Shin Jiao and his group nodded their heads.

"I am Susan Tang and these are…" Susan said in English as she introduces the rest while shaking the man's hand.

"Well, I hope that you would like your stay here. Although you are free to roam around the base, I hope that you would not cause too much disturbance. Plus I advise you not to go out for now until we can confirm your safety."

"Thank you, general."

The general pause for a moment as if trying to think of something, but then heaves a heavy sigh.

"Young man, there is another reason why we took you here. You see I was tasked to ask for your help…" he said then pause while taking a glance at Shin Jiao.

Seeing the general's gaze, Shin Jiao furrows his brows.

"I… I wanted to train the special soldiers under me. But our training area is far too lacking. When your company invented the virtual world, everything changes as the soldiers began their training inside the game. But the mutants are unable to improve their powers. My superiors are asking me if you could create a program that can help us with that."

"Don't worry about the pay, whatever you asked we will provide it for you." The general asked politely.

According to their investigation, these people have someone powerful backing them, so polite negotiation should be done. Plus, the young man in front of him is the only man who can make their request. Hence he needed to show sincerity.

Shin Jiao didn't answer the general for a while as he muses on the request. He turned to look at the window of the room. Each country is trying to bolster its armed forces to protect their own safety. However, he knew that the US government did more than just protecting its nation and its interest. So if he favors only one country then it would cause too much trouble for him.

In deciding this fact, Shin Jiao didn't want to be biased.

"General, I wanted to ask you a question… why would you want the mutants to be strong? They are already stronger than normal humans."

This question from Shin Jiao made the general speechless. In fact, he already expected such a question, but until now, he didn't know if it is okay to tell them the truth which would be revealed to the world not too long from now.

"Sigh… I guess you have asked the right question." The general said with the wry smile.

"I wanted to say that it is top secret, but this secret would still be publicized a few weeks from now, so it would be that top secret anymore."

The general turn his gaze to Mary and gave her a smile.

"Your father wanted you to go home right now, right?"

Mary nodded in response but has a bit of confusion in her gaze.

"Actually the reason why many countries in the world wanted the two of you is that you hold the power to prepare the military might of a country to combat an incoming danger."

"A few weeks ago, we discovered a portal opening in Nevada. We were informed by the kingdom of Bail about this and we immediately deployed our drones and satellite in that area. From there we saw something that we have never seen before… Monsters not of this world started coming out."

The general explained and took out a folder on his desk.

He put the folder on the table and opened it. Everyone saw the pictures on the folder and was taken aback by what they saw.

"Those… those monsters look familiar." Suddenly Park Jiyong said with his eyes wide open.

"Yes, they are…" the general said while turning his glance at Shin Jiao.

"They look like the monsters from your game, the game called 'Merging Worlds'…���

"How… how could this be? These monsters are from the Chinese server, right." Shi Anne Li said while looking at the pictures on the table.

They didn't notice that Shin Jiao is already looking at the pictures with scrunch eyes. Right now he felt that his head is about to break as memories began flooding in. This time everything is clear.

He suddenly remembers the call, then his broken heart… then he saw himself walking down the cold snowy weather of city H. And then he found himself taken by a portal and was transported to another world…

The flooding of memories from his past was too huge of an impact to him that he suddenly staggered making all the people in the room look at him with worry in their eyes.

"Shin, are you… are you okay?" Susan Tang who is sitting near him asked while holding his arm.

With trembling hands, Shin Jiao slowly reaches for a picture, but then his vision went dark.
