Sienna was looking at William with bewildered expression. Clearly, she never expected that William would ask a question like that out of the blue.
"What… what do you mean by superpower?"
Yakov rubbed his forehead. "You see, we encounter a man that has speed far beyond what normal person can possibly achieve. We're not good that biology as you know, so we're wondering if you might know the cause."
"Didn't you just say that you're good at biology?"
"Shut up, Will!"
Hearing that, Sienna furrowed her brows. They did use some test subject to be able to know what will happen to them if they got infected by the virus. However, there was no apparent change that she could remember occurred to those rats…
"Increase in speed?"
"Yes?"
"It's Virus X," Sienna replied after thinking for a moment then looked at the others. "Virus X is not really a virus but more like a medicine that can increase your strength at some parts in your body. If your speed increased, it means that the virus is affecting your legs and grant you higher speed."
William crossed his arms. "Didn't you say that the research is incomplete?"
"Well, the virus will stay in hibernate state…"
"Until?"
"Until they met with Virus R and reacted together along with the effect of the radiation," Sienna tried her best to explain the way the virus worked. Still, she felt that it would be very hard to explain everything to William considering that these people before her didn't have any base in biology whatsoever.
"How in the world that happen?" Yakov was confused.
"…I can draw the chart for you if you want, but I can't guarantee that you'll be able to understand."
Yakov chose to shake his head when he heard what Sienna said. He might still familiar with some terms, but if it was that difficult, he would raise his hands in defeat. There was no way he would want to review everything again.
"And the virus is basically already released to the world."
"If your body didn't reject Virus X or Virus E, actually you have high chance to develop some kind of strange ability."
"Strange ability?"
Sienna opened her mouth then thought again. How should she explain this one now? Giving explanation to her fellow researcher was far easier compared to teach these people in front of her.
Bang!
William turned his head to the side when he heard the loud sound. His eyes narrowed as he walked out of the room and looked into a distance. From this direction, he could see smoke come out from one of the houses.
"What's that?"
"Stay inside the room," William ordered.
Yakov walked to the other window and glanced out. The plants around the area prevented him from having a clear view. "I'm going up."
"Ok."
Faintly, they could hear the sound of engine from a distance. William pressed his face near the window and glanced up. Almost immediately, he could see a jet plane flying across the city in high speed. It was quite high above and couldn't be seen clearly from this distance, but William knew what it was.
His expression turned solemn.
'is that military jet? Or….'
The jet passed by the house and dropped something not far afterwards. William's face turned dark as he turned around. "GET DOWN!"
BAM!
Another sound of explosion came not far from their location. Everyone was lying on the ground, keeping their body close. The ground shook for a moment, but they were not the target of the attack.
No one was harmed.
William frowned and hurriedly ran to the stairs. He could see Yakov was standing near the window with ashen face.
"What did they bomb?"
"The military car," Yakov responded and pointed to the window. "If we didn't come here and stay there, we would have turned into mincemeat."
Military car…
By this time, William was sure that the jet plane must belonged to another country that was odd with Country V. As for which country it was, he was not entirely sure. There were several countries who might not like it if Country V chose to participate in the war.
The civilian didn't know anything.
Yet they were the one who bore the brunt of staying at the frontline just because they all stayed near the capital city.
"We'll need to move from here fast."
"The modification?" Yakov asked.
William gritted his teeth and rushed down the stairs. He glanced at Gloria. "Can you access the cameras around this area?"
Residential area always had monitoring camera that could be used to monitor them. He had seen several of them when he was passing by the area, so they might be able to make use of those that can still work.
Gloria was stunned, but she quickly straightened her body to type in her laptop again. "Let me see."
Afterwards, William looked at Sienna. "We'll talk again later. For now, we need to hurry and leave this place."
"Why?"
"In the first place, we already plan to leave…" Rozan proceeded to explain the real reason why they wanted to leave this area.
Hearing it all, Sienna felt that she was truly lucky to meet with them. If she was still inside that convenience store when the Xermo began to break loose, only the Heaven knew what could possibly happen to her.
Probably, she would have already met with the king of hell.
