Spectating the fight at the warehouse, the gang continued to hold their own against the super soldiers.
Although they were outnumbered, the super soldiers, struggled with fighting them, especially the NPC. As Jack was engaged in combat, he noticed super soldiers flying across the yard, slamming into the enemy's vehicles.
The super soldiers that were attacking the NPC were getting beaten down without much issue. His fighting sense and physical prowess displayed were above even the likes of Charles.
"Haha, this guy is something else!" Jack said in awe.
With excitement from the NPC's performance, Charles started to fight harder. Although he was up against six super soldiers currently, Charles was tagging them with many hits, even knocking them to the ground.
"Dammit! Who the hell even is that guy!?" A super soldier said as he stared at the NPC. "The information we got is pretty useless when we don't even know what he does!"
"That's the second time you said something about information." The NPC said as he was gripping the shirt of an unconscious super soldier. "You seem useful to get some info." He said before charging towards the super soldier, which shocked him. However, the NPC was stopped in his tracks by the developer.
"Alright, that's enough." The developer said to the NPC telepathically. "It's annoying to see you, an NPC, participating in the big stuff with my game characters.
"Why'd he stop?" Jack said as he glanced at the NPC while in his fight.
"You're an NPC, so act like it." The developer said. "Go and escort the doctor out of danger from her bunker."
With that said, the super soldier the NPC wanted to pursue took advantage of his sudden lack of movement and rushed him, attempting to catch him off guard.
Just as quick as his decision to rush him was his regret right after, for the NPC delivered a straight punch right to his face, causing him to ragdoll across the floor.
"Guys, I have to help the doctor." The NPC said as he communicated to Jack and Charles.
"Aww, going so soon?" Charles said. "Oh well...more super soldiers for me I guess!"
"You don't have to worry about us, mate," Jack assured. "I'm guessing the developer gave you that order. Go do what you have to do."
Giving a nod of understanding, the NPC rushed inside. Trying to not let him go, the super soldiers tried chasing him, however, their paths were intercepted by Jack and Charles blocking their way.
"Haha, you guys aren't going anywhere! Let's take it up a notch then!" Charles said. "Physical Enhancement - Adrenaline Doping!"
In usual fashion, Charles' muscles increased in mass and became more defined. The super soldiers that they had previously knocked down had stood up once again.
"Don't get in my way, okay Jack?" Charles advised.
"I could say the same thing." Jack countered. "These guys fooled us into thinking their meeting with the president went south, but their proposal being accepted only means that they will surely die by me."
Without wasting a second, the opposing sides charged at each other. The clashing of knives and the trading of blows could be heard throughout the battlefield. Due to there being thirty super soldiers, the criminal duo had to keep up with fighting a fluctuation of thirteen to seventeen super soldiers at once.
The duo had comfortably been keeping up, even with smiles on their faces, but the more they fought, the more they noticed something.
Wow, these guys aren't as fast as me, but even as a team, they can keep up with my hypersonic speed combat. Not to mention their physical strength...these guys seem to be relative to that male super soldier I fought at the hotel.
As Jack prepared to slash a super soldier with one of his knives, his arm had been grabbed by another. Simultaneously, his second arm was grabbed as well.
"What?" Jack said with surprise as he tried to struggle from their grasp, however, they used their strength to hold Jack down.
"Yeah! Hold him in place!" The super soldier said. As Jack was held in place, the super soldier delivered a manji-geri (kick) straight to his face. They instantly let Jack go after he received it.
With a dropped jaw, a stunned expression, and a disoriented vision, Jack was shaken up from the kick. He began stumbling from the hit.
"There's more where that came from!" The super soldier said before triple punching Jack in the chest, which sent him into the surrounding walls of the warehouse, seemingly taking him out of commission.
"Wow! Jack's done?" Charles asked with a bewildered expression. "Well, more for me!"

The NPC quickly made his way to the underground infirmary, where the doctor usually resides.
Surprisingly, he did not find the doctor immediately upon entering.
Where did she go?
He quickly looked for her and eventually found her hiding under the hospital bed.
"What are you doing?" The NPC asked.
She immediately looked in his direction upon hearing his voice.
"Oh! It's you!" The doctor said in a relieved tone. "I know what's going on up there. I've been hiding because I'm sure they'll kill me if they find out I'm a healer."
"Oh, I see. Don't worry, I'll get you out here." He said as he dragged her out, to her surprise. "Let's go."

Charles was currently fighting numerous super soldiers, even more than before due to Jack's incapacitation.
Charles was having a lot of fun despite being heavily outnumbered. Both sides were trading blows with each other, with Charles' attacks being much more powerful, creating very large gusts of wind.
"HAHA! IF FIGHTING YOU GUYS IS THIS FUN, I WONDER HOW FUN FIGHTING THE STRONGER ONES WILL BE!?"
Suddenly, an aircraft began to aim the mounted mini-gun at Charles. Releasing a shower of bullets, they pelted Charles relentlessly.
"Tsk! Your stupid bullets are in the way!" Charles said as he was visibly annoyed. Digging his fingers in the hood of one of the enemy's vehicles, he picked up the armored vehicle.
"What the hell is he doing!?" A super soldier said. Suddenly, he tossed the vehicle right at the helicopter.
"BOOM!"
This resulted in a loud explosion after the vehicle had impacted the aircraft, causing it to go down. There were three other aircraft and Charles was getting ready to toss more vehicles at them.
"What do you think you're doing!" The super soldier that had incapacitated Jack had shouted as he rushed at Charles in an attempt to stop him. Right before he could do anything, he felt the sensation of someone grabbing his face.
His senses were true, as Jack was right behind him, clutching his face.
"You thought I was done, huh?" Jack said to the super soldier with a sadistic smile. The soldier was sweating profusely at Jack's sudden appearance and his menacing smile.
The other super soldiers tried to stop him, but it was too late. Jack had plunged his knife into the super soldier's Adam's apple. Like music to his ears, the choking sounds of the super soldier made Jack very happy.
He instantly dragged his knife through the side of his neck, taking a chunk of flesh from him as he removed his knife.
"YOU BASTARD!" A super soldier shouted as they rushed them with renewed aggression.
Jack stuck out his tongue in a psychotic expression.
Killing a super soldier...I feel so amazing right now!
Charles and Jack continued to fight them. Unlike before, they were doing significantly better. Likely due to the injuries the super soldiers had sustained, coupled with the fact that Jack and Charles were somehow fighting much harder than before, they were now getting killed off.
They quickly dispatched the super soldiers, especially Jack, who had got the majority of the kills.
"Sigh, this was a fun battle, but it's only the appetizer I guess," Charles said, as he took down the remaining aircraft by tossing the armored vehicles.
"Oh well," Jack said. "I'm really in the killing mood, so this war will be fu--
Suddenly, a bullet appeared inches away from the side of Jack's head. Before contact, Jack had perceived it, and in a single, extremely fast motion, Jack deflected it with his knife.
The duo's attention was immediately turned to the cause of the bullet. It was by an injured super soldier who was holding a sniper rifle.
"Dammit...how did you even do that..." The super soldier asked in a defeated tone.
Wow, even though I was caught off guard, you made me use my sleight-of-hand technique.
Without giving him an answer, Jack instantly appeared in front of him and beheaded him, successfully eliminating all the super soldiers in the warehouse yard.
Suddenly, the NPC left the warehouse. He had held the doctor in a princess-like carry.
"Wow, you guys didn't need help, huh?" The NPC said.
"Just as we said." Jack confidently said.
"Well, I'm going to go bring the doctor to a safe area, for this warehouse's location is somehow compromised."
"Alright," Charles said. Not staying any longer, the NPC left with the doctor.
"So, where should we go now?" Jack inquired.
"I wanna find more su--"
"Wait, what is that?" Jack said as he pointed in the air. High above were multiple jets approaching the area.
"I think we should get outta here, mate," Jack advised. "They're coming towards our direction most likely."
"Ooh! More people to fight!?" Charles asked excitedly as he ignored Jack.
"No, you meathead. I don't know about you but I'm not planning on continuing to fight near that thing." Jack said as he pointed at the trailer full of explosives. "If we get blown to hell, how will you get good fights in the future?"
"Sigh...fine." Charles relented. "But are we going to leave the trailer here?"
"Yeah, I haven't seen much use for it. There's no need to care about that stupid trailer. Let's just go." Jack said. With Charles' agreement, they quickly left.
It is strange how they even knew where we stayed.

Over to Nathan, the super soldier that had confronted him aimed the underbarrel grenade launcher at his car. Without wasting any time, Nathan jumped out of the speeding car. He had materialized a soft cushion to negate his injuries.
After firing the grenade which exploded the car, Nathan's body was propelled into the air.
"AAAHHHHH!!!" Nathan screamed as he soared through the air, constantly flipping which disoriented him somewhat. However, before landing, he materialized another soft cushion to land on.
"Tsk, you survived that." The super soldier said as he walked up.
Nathan had re-stored the cushions and turned his attention to the super soldier.
Damn...looks like I'm gonna have to fight this guy.
