The Geared Immortal

Mutants

/*unedited*/

A loud explosion blew up the main door of the condominium followed by a few black figures rushing in through the windows. From the way they are dressed, one can tell that these people are soldiers armed to the teeth.

The door was blown to bits as pieces of it were scattered all over the place.

Susan Tang who was running towards the door was pushed back by the strong force and tumbled down the ground. Luckily she hit the sofa which is facing the main entrance of the house. But because of the impact of the blast, she was rendered unconscious.

Shin Jiao immediately ran towards her side and checked her condition. He can see that there are some bruises and some scratches on her hands and torn clothes, but she is safe.

He immediately carried her in Shi Anne Li's room and carefully put her on the bed. Shi Anne Li was still in a daze upon seeing this scene, but as soon as she got her mind back she immediately rushed towards her drawer.

From inside she drew out a gloc9 semi-automatic pistol.

Shin Jiao was not surprised upon seeing the gun, but from how she handles herself. Her composure right at this moment is something one can consider as a natural reaction.

"This woman… she is not that simple." Shin Jiao thought.

Of course, he could not remember anything as he didn't know that she was also a special agent just like him.

Shi Anne Li lowered herself on the ground as she slowly crept towards Shin Jiao. Meanwhile, she watches outside and found the people who entered the house just standing without moving.

"What is happening?" she asked Shin Jiao in a low voice while looking outside.

Shin Jiao just gave her a careless smirk and snorted.

"Che… They think it's easy to infiltrate this house. Haha… They have fallen to a trap."

"Trap? What trap? I can't see anything." Shi Anne Li muttered as she looks around.

Shin Jiao stood up and look at the unconscious Susan Tang. He knew that she is alright and has just fallen unconscious because of the shock.

"Please watch her. I'll get some weapons for us. This will be a long fight." Shin Jiao said as he turns around and approaches the unmoving men who entered the room.

Not long later, he was able to gather around 20 firearms, some grenades, and many cold weapons.

"These people are some kind of special forces from the U.S." Shi Anne Li said upon seeing the weapons on the floor.

"Actually they're not, they're Russians." Shin Jiao corrected.

'Delta, respond! Delta team, report the situation inside. Please respond…' a man's voice on one of the black figures radio, called out.

Shin Jiao was able to hear it because of his sharp senses. So he stood up and approaches the last person who entered the room.

Then he took out the radio from that person.

"Comrade, it seems that your team is not in a condition to fight. Should I report this to the American embassy or you pay for your men's lives?" Shin Jiao said in a clear Russian voice.

As a spy, Shin Jiao has learned many languages, and Russian is one of those languages as China is closer to their country.

Upon hearing Shin Jiao's voice the leader of the operation they called Alpha 1 was taken aback. Suddenly a rough Russian man's voice was heard on the other line.

"Haha… Comrade is joking, this is just a misunderstanding. We didn't want any trouble… we thought that you are…"

"Shut up! Do you think I'm stupid or something? Pay up for the ransom of your man or suffer an international incident." Shin Jiao threatened.

"Ah… How much is your price?"

"You don't even know the value of this trade, who's the one in charge? I want to talk to that person."

"I am… Okay, you got us… If you keep this incident a secret we would pay you 2 million dollars. Is that enough?"

Shin Jiao is actually not into the money, he just wanted those people to know the price for their insolence, and hence he did such a trade.

 "Whatever sent it to this account… xxx xxx… And one more thing, please don't play with me on this. If not you will not like the consequence."

After cutting off the communication, Shin Jiao took out a bag and put all the weapons inside it. He took the two ladies with him and leaves the condominium in secret.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Russian agents are already in panic as they didn't receive any reply after the condition about payment was put forward. The commander didn't want to pay and just wanted to stall some time.

Suddenly…

"Sir, three people are leaving the area. It seems that they are our men. One of them is injured, and is being carried by the two." reported a person.

"What? Take the injured to the ambulance. I want to talk to one of them." the commander whom Shin Jiao has talked to shouted.

Not long later, a tall soldier arrives in front of the commander.

"You take off your mask… tell me what happened there?" the commander commanded in an annoyed voice.

His team was one of the best but was immediately taken down even before starting the fight. Plus it seems that the infrared scope didn't work in that room as all they can see are non-moving figures.

"So, you're the commander, eh." The soldier suddenly said.

When the commander heard his reply he suddenly looks at the soldier whom he called.

Then a bad hunch filled his mind as he unconsciously took a step back.

"I've now seen who you are, so it's best that you keep your distance from me. It's better not to provoke my ire or else…" Shin Jiao said without taking his mark and helmet.

After that warning, he turns around and was about to leave when the man suddenly draws his handgun from his waist.

Before he can lift it up from the holster, Shin Jiao's figure vanished from his position and appears in front of the man. One of his hands is already holding the gun and his other hand is grabbing the man's throat.

Ack!!!

The man cried but could not move nor escape as his feet are already dangling on the ground.

"I just warned you right?" Shin Jiao growled.

The people around the commander wanted to draw their guns but were stunned at this situation. They didn't know what to do. But one of them was able to draw his gun, but before he can lift it up he was sent flying to a car.

When that person hits the car, the side door caved in and the window shattered into pieces.

"Anyone else?..." Shin Jiao asked in a threatening voice.

"This is what you are going to face, so I suggest that you back down and forget about everything that happened."

Shin Jiao flung the commanded to the side as he hit the door of the mobile communication vehicle of the group.

He turns around to leave the place, but suddenly two vans on the side open their sliding doors.

From inside came out five people.

Three women and two men walk out of the van. The men wore a black leather jacket, one of them is huge as a large bull and the other one has a handsome appearance while wearing red-tinted glasses. The three ladies, on the other hand, wore long robes which make them look like witches in the European folklore.

However their faces are not ugly at all, as typical Russian women, the three have a sharp and gorgeous appearance.

"You… why had you just come out now? The situation has turned bad." shouted the commander as he felt his body in pain.

"Ai Commander, it's not our fault. You told us to stay put. So we stay put. However, we came out because it seems that you cannot handle the problem at hand." The tall and handsome Russian young man said.

"Yeah, we were a bit bored waiting so we watch and was really amazed at the situation. That guy there is not simple, not simple at all." One of the women said with a coquettish smile on her face while looking at Shin Jiao.

The people discussed as if they didn't put Shin Jiao in their eyes. They thought that although he is strong he is just a normal person. While the five people are very special and were chosen to be the trump card in this operation.

The commander looks at the five with an angry expression on his face, but he could not do anything about those people, so he can only grumble.

"These mutants are too much. Just wait until I report your insolent to the higher-ups." The commander thought.

The five people now stood in front of Shin Jiao and look at him with a proud expression on their faces.

"Not bad! You seem to have the ability. But not quite there." The young man said in straight English without the Russian accent.

"He seems fit enough to lift and man easily. This would be a good match for Broody." A woman wearing a blue cap suggested while patting the large guy's shoulder.

"Let's finish this up, we need to play 'Merging Worlds' and get our level to 30… the competition is just around the corner." Another woman said with impatience in her tone.

The big guy walks closer to Shin Jiao and from his large muscled arm, Shin Jiao saw that it slowly turned to metallic bronze in color.

"This is the difference between normal humans and mutants.. I'll make this quick… Hehe," the big man said as he suddenly wings his huge metallic bronze arms.
