Rise of the Ultimate Elite

Chapter 44 Narrow Escape

WARNING!! Durability reduced by 5%. Warning!! Durability reduced by …, Warning!! Durability reduced by … “Shit,” Leo cursed, as he received multiple damage reports from his armor’s A.I. What bothered him was that he already figured out the identity of the mysterious shooter. “The commander, how did he discover me so quickly?” He questioned, as his brain’s thought process rapidly spiked. He reacted fast despite his thoughts, as he immediately jumped behind a car while bringing out his dual automatic pistols. The damage he received from the Commander’s few shots, made him feel uncomfortable. He didn’t know that the commander’s machine gun had so much firepower. “Another unknown variable disrupts my plan again,” he thought in resignation and frustration. There was a high chance that the commander recently upgraded his gun’s capacity outside. That was why he was unable to find out, from the terrorist’s database. He was not fighting a glory battle with the commander; this was a sabotage and escape situation. His brain went into overdrive, as he tried to cook up more means to escape. “If the commander is here, the other high-grade soldiers are probably on their way here. Screw it”. He quickly made a leap of faith forward, as he turned to shoot back at the tank of the car behind him. Boom!! The firepower was too much, as the car quickly exploded. A scorching red fire erupted from his back, expanding outwards in a spiral manner, as the car directly became scrap metal. Taking hold of this opportunity, he bolted forward with speed as he saw 2 other familiar high-grade soldiers coming from the right. He diverted, moving to the left, as he quickly determined the direction of the east gate. The 2 high-grade soldiers pursued him, as he added effort to run with all his strength. He quickly despaired, as he saw the last high-grade soldier blocking the east gate. There was no going back for him; death was the only outcome if he hesitated. He quickly hardened his heart, as he decided to bulldoze his way through. Unlike Clark, his high-grade pursuers’ armor was intact, so they were more proactive. Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! He engaged the soldier with his sword, as normal soldiers gradually started popping out from all corners, surrounding him. Visible shockwaves erupted from his position, as he became completely focused on the battle. He suppressed the high-grade soldier facing him, but he could not break out from the fight or win immediately. The surrounding soldiers shot at him, as he fought their executioner. Ptui!! Ptui!! 2 soldiers dropped down dead, as he shot at them with his spare hand while still engaging the executioner. Tu! Tu! Tu! He shot again randomly, as dozens of soldiers were injured from the unexpected maneuver. He became more focused on escaping, as the 2 pursuing high-grade soldiers gradually drew nearer. Unfortunately, he couldn’t break out fast enough, as the other 2 high-grade soldiers joined the battle, making it a 1 vs 3 battle between high-grade soldiers. Boom!! Boom!! Despite the uneven odds against him, he fought with vigor, as he withstood the suppression from the 3 high-grade soldiers. It seemed like the commander found it beneath him, to fight in a 1 vs 4 battle against a soldier of the same rank, as he remained hidden. Leo heaved a sigh of relief on seeing this. The fight continued for another 10 minutes, as the ordinary soldiers gathered to watch. They could not participate in such a fast-paced battle, lest they shoot at their executioners. The only thing keeping their target alive, at the moment was his better exotic armor. Whoosh!! Blood finally flowed, as the terrorist high-grade soldier dodged but the sword still connected to his hand, removing it completely. “Ahh!!” He cried in pain, as his left hand was ruthlessly severed. His lost hand disrupted his tempo, as he staggered backward. The other 2 high-grade soldiers were startled from this, affecting their rhythm, before they finally realized that their comrade armor’s durability just depleted. Leo took hold of this short window of opportunity to run for the gate, as he activated his sword’s force field. Boom!! The gate divided in 2, as he hacked down with his sword utilizing all his strength. He thanked God in relief, as his armor already indicated that only 3% durability remained. Tu! Tu! Tu! Tu! As he ran, bullets suddenly rained down on him from behind as his armor’s durability quickly fell. “Hmmm,” he grunted in pain, as a bullet connected to his abdomen, another one to his shoulder. He staggered but gritted his teeth, as he bolted forward into a nearby street. The commander slowly dropped his machine gun, as he looked up from where he hid. “He still escaped,” he muttered without any emotion in his tone. Thud!! Thud!! Thud!! The terrorist soldiers swarmed at their target, pursuing him, as they discovered that his armor’s durability was down. Leo ran as fast as his legs could carry him while enduring the pain from the shots to his abdomen and shoulder. Fortunately, the time he wasted in planning finally paid. As he escaped, he ran and leaped into unexpected and hidden routes to confuse his pursuers; his route was a faster way to the police station. Civilians who saw the pursuit already notified the police; the police responded immediately, by dispatching some cars to curb and stabilize the situation. After minutes of running, the police and the terrorists finally clashed. Leo reacted fast on witnessing this, as he performed swift maneuvers, cleverly bypassing them. He finally arrived at the police station, after over 20 minutes of running. “Put your hands in the air,” this was their welcome greeting, as policemen came outside to handcuff him. They quickly dragged him into their station, after securing his weapons. They first attended to his injuries, after they confirmed his identity. He informed them about all the information he knew about the terrorists. They immediately became alarmed, after they heard that they were facing the Persian tiger’s organization. They immediately ordered their sent cars to retreat, while quickly requesting backup from the nearby town’s police forces. Fortunately for Leo, unlike the terrorist base, Clark landed on, this one was not too united. The terrorist high-grade soldiers quickly transmitted to their commander, about the police interception. “Retreat, we are leaving immediately”. The commander was very decisive, as he ordered his soldiers to retreat without delay. “Thank God, this infiltrator didn’t get any exotic weapon. We are short on them,” he was deeply relieved. If the infiltrator got an exotic weapon, it would have depressed him greatly. “Those two siblings…, who cares about them? They were beginning to get too ambitious. They were actually planning on overthrowing me as the commander of this base”. “I already started forming a plan to eliminate them long ago, this is just a gift package sent to me. Being talented does not make you the commander, pieces of shit”. He cursed, as he quickly organized his base to retreat. Unlike Clark, Leo didn’t get any strong enemy. He even indirectly helped the commander, but he was ignorant of this fact. He was afraid that the terrorist organization retreated temporarily to organize a better and fiercer offensive, so he directly clicked end training on his wristwatch. The wristwatch quickly gave him a direction, leading him to where he’ll be picked up. A police car carried him there, as they already confirmed his identity. “Oh man, I finally escaped”. He thought in relief, as he was taken to the military base. After getting his position, the Megalodon diligently arrived to take him away.
