Meanwhile the general commander who had been following the the reactor signal felt the urge to curse his silhouette which had been giving a cold demeanor got replaced by a vicious own. It had to been known that it remained just a few metres for them to get towards the fleeing siblings and capture them but who would had guessed that the reactor would instantly loose it perfectly working signal in just a the blink of an eye. At first he thought maybe it was because of the underground railway since it had be a long while since it was used so he contacted the nearby Headquarters for a quick solution but to his utmost expectations of the reactor signal being back he got the opposite response. Although the headquarters said that,they still didn't want to tell him that there was a faint signal but it wasn't within their range anymore.
In a large room seemingly a big office was filled with a few staffs whose fingers was running through the keyboard at a fast pace. An old man with artificial beards was looking at the big screen projector in front of slightly confused.
"Re run the database and track the signal frequency through the people's phone"he said still staring at the the screen which was displaying the structural map of the whole city and it neighboring ones around it. Though the city could be considered an outskirts of the united States, it was still part of the country.
One of the male staffs who was also in search of the signal frequency said " there's a weak signal of the reactor west "
"Are you sure? " he asked even though he had guessed it through the displayed screen projector he still needed confirmation.
"Yes sir, but it seems someone is trying to destroy the tracker" another male staff said.
"What's the location?"
"Can't get pinpoint the exact location sir but we can determine the surrounding location " one if the female staffs actively responded
With that said, the fingers of everyone in the office room began run fast across the keyboard . Every networking station was in use at this moment. The headquarters in Gaspé peninsula was a secret base headquarter itself located near the shrubs with large farm lands and windmills surrounding it. A first look at it would be said to be an illusion since it'll present itself as a large farm store.
"This feels weird"One of the staffs said squinting his eyes at the monitor in front of him.
"They are in Quebec" the female staff who had spoken not long said again. On the large projector screen, a red dot shone vividly showed on the displayed map before it dimmed.
The not too old man who had received the call from the general commander clicked on his phone dialing the number of the general commander. The phone was picked up and a coarse voice could be heard , as it could be observed that the general commander was very frustrated and tired since he had gone on a thorough search around the underground railway and hospitals hoping to find the so much labelled refugees.
"We recovered the location of the signal frequency briefly at Quebec and it not clear though but it seemed to be at the west of Quebec" the old man said . The headquarters here we're also employed by the government so it wasn't surprising that they didn't have much of a reaction when they noticed the sudden change in location of the signal. They themselves were properly trained specifically to track down superhumans using the few gadgets they were given just as how the army and others were given special weaponry.
"Alright, we'll head down to Quebec. Please prepare another tracker on attachable to the skin and not too noticable".
"That'll take twenty hours to make " the man protested.
"Then I'll wait thirty hours just to be sure of it's usage. Also I couldn't reach the headquarter informant, any news in that "
"Oh, he seems to be trying to keep a low key while fleeing. But don't worry we still have many eyes on him"
"Okay then I await your good news. I'll try to let the sergeants at Quebec be on standby I assume the news will soon reach them" said the general commander before hanging up.
Back at Quebec
Still in the emergency room, three new face could be dressed to perform the surgery. The previous three people who were in the room were Sonia, yunli ,Shawn and Vincent but now the three new people were a man in lab coat with a name tag Samuel Forbes on his lab coat along with a very young teenager named Adams and a mature woman with curly hair with the same name tag Gadhi Lauren on her lab coat as well.
They proceeded without any further ado. Vincent moved the light ray from the source to the face of the wound. They all had their face strick with surprise because in the wound, the tissues could be visibly seen churning with constant movements. The bullet was stuck at the lower region close to the joint at the shoulder, the bullet like a small gas lighter released a small radiations which apparently was trying to cause a burning reaction to the flesh it was now on.
"Damn this bullet is different from the previous ones we've encountered. It's trying to burn and eat up the flesh " Adams exclaimed. It could be seen from the way he talks that they had encountered special made bullets and treated it with slight ease.
" The bone is in good condition and the radiation target should likely be the veins and blood vessels" Sonia said while writing down her observations.
" No excessive bleeding, the skin tissues are in healthy condition but not for long since the patient is still unconscious. Temperature is over eighty, no convulsing detected and no shivering " cui yunli who looked obviously Chinese said while also taking down notes.
"Forceps" Dr Forbes requested.
"Here " Shawn responded. Dr Forbes collected the forceps and inserted it into the wounds trying to grab a certain tissue beneath the bullet. The others were not idle either yunli put down her note and pen to hold down Rein. Gadhi on the other hand was examining Rein's eyes making sure that the cells around her eyes to the brain are not triggered since as superhumans they could experience nervous system shut down due to certain unknown reasons while going through surgeries but it won't kill them or pushed them to madness she muttered.
An incision was made on the inside of the shoulder from the front at a 1cm range. The skin tissues which was previously held beneath the bullet was pulled forward being carefully pulled out along with the bullet. Dr Forbes stepped back allowing Sonia to given the suture with her fast hands. After the bullet was taken out, it was taken placed on a different tray and then carried away from the room by Shawn.
