Chereads / Murder Game / Chapter 47 - Warm Up

Chapter 47 - Warm Up

"Damn it...Lilith."

"Well done guys!" The developer suddenly said. "Your devotion to each other is so admirable!" 

"I'm...not in the mood...for your shit," Nathan said.

"Killing anyone in your way to protect each other's lives...I do enjoy a nice love story in my game!"

"Developer..." Nathan coldly said. 

"And especially you, Lilith! You cast aside your morals to protect your partner! Amazing!" The developer commended, but Lilith didn't seem too happy. "You'll get much stronger with that mindset--"

"SHUT THE HELL UP! YOU BASTARD!!!" Nathan exclaimed as he could no longer control his rage. "IT'S YOUR FAULT SHE HAD TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE!" 

"Oh my. Nathan's having an outburst again. Time to go!" The developer teased before immediately hanging up. 

Silence filled the air as Nathan and Lilith processed everything.

Nathan said with fatigue in his voice. "Sigh...we can't stay here. Our location is likely compromised. We have...to go." 

"You sound tired..." Lilith said with concern. 

"I...am. I'm so tired...but I fear that if I fall asleep or not continuously be on guard...then things will turn out bad." Nathan explained. 

"Sigh...You're right." Lilith said. "But you don't need...to go through this alone..."

Nathan simply looked at her with sorrow in his eyes. 

Sigh...

A military base. The home of military vehicles, tanks, fighter jets, and most importantly soldiers and super soldiers. It is the stronghold of the country. No one in their right mind would dare set foot in that area. Unless, of course, you are Charles Warner. 

Nonchalantly, Charles approached a military base. To his excitement and their surprise, he was greeted to hundreds of soldiers and dozens of disfigured super soldiers.

Yes! I knew that there would be guys here!

"Huh, what the hell is this?" A super soldier asked as they noticed Charles. "It looks like you're asking for a death wish."

"Although I gotta help my group destroy you guys...this will make for a good warm-up!" Charles stated. 

Not exchanging any more words, the army of soldiers immediately started firing, turning the base into a lightshow. In response, Charles smiled and dashed towards them. 

Before he could throw an attack, however, he was intercepted by a super soldier who struck him in the face with a left and sent him across the base. 

"No, you don't, idiot." The super soldier said. Having a slower reaction time, the regular soldiers shot their ally, although it wasn't very effective. "Don't worry, just keep shooting...it won't kill us anyways." 

"Haha..nice save." Charles commended as soldiers adjusted their aim back to him. 

"Physical Enhancement - Adrenaline Doping!" He declared as the super soldiers rushed to attack him at once. 

Increasing his muscular frame, Charles engaged them in hand-to-hand combat. It was evident that Charles had higher physical strength as his punches visibly shocked the super soldiers as he knocked them away. 

However, he could only enjoy having the upper hand for a short time, as the number of super soldiers and their physical capabilities were troubling. 

Delivering blows to super soldiers, Charles would have to worry about being hit by others, which he could not block completely. 

Upon punching a super soldier, Charles received a kick to the side of his face, causing him to stumble. Two super soldiers followed up by delivering a simultaneous kick to his gut, causing him to crash into a military vehicle.

Haha...nice. This is so fu--

BOOM!!!

An explosion occurred on Charles from what seemed to be a guided missile hurdling towards him. 

"Nice shot!" A super soldier complimented soldiers that had fired the missile. 

The force of the explosion caused Charles to crash into even more military vehicles. Through the smoke he tossed the vehicles at the regular soldiers, surprising the super soldiers. 

More explosions occurred as the vehicles made an impact, killing multiple soldiers. Annoyed, the super soldiers continued their assault. At the same time, the regular soldiers took cover behind their vehicles and tried their best to keep firing, despite having trouble keeping up with Charles and the super soldiers. 

Charles was still having a hard time with them. With every hit he'd successfully land, the super soldiers would return double to him. He was getting hit so much that he started to spit blood.

"What the hell?" A super soldier said to himself. "Even though this bastard is losing...why does he have such a big smile on his face!?"

 HAHA! THIS IS TRULY FUN! I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE ATTACKED A MILITARY BASE LONG AGO!!!

Charles was again sent across the military base. As he got up, however, he was looking straight into the barrel of a tank. 

BOOM!!!

Charles received a tank shell directly to his face, exploding on impact. Not wasting any time, other tanks fired more exploding shells at Charles. 

Like a demon, Charles walked through the smoky fog. The damage was stacking on, as Charles was getting grievously injured. As he was walking, several armored vehicles with mounted machine guns (aimed by soldiers) on the roof fired at him, causing his stride to slow. 

Suddenly, more guided missiles hurdled and exploded directly on him. Leaping high in the air, Charles began to focus his efforts on eliminating the soldiers firing the missiles. His plan was quickly proven futile as super soldiers intercepted him upon his descent. 

Using Charles as a pinball, the super soldiers proceeded to hit him towards each other around the military base until finishing by spiking him downwards which destroyed the ground and caused an explosion-sounding impact. 

"Jeez! Calm down with the property damage!" A soldier shouted. 

"It's fine. This is a war anyways." A super soldier responded. "It'll be fixed later."

Charles was laid out on the ground, seemingly barely conscious. It seems that the injuries he sustained were too much to bear. The super soldiers approached him to finish him off. 

"I bet you thought that because you defeated some of us before, that you were invincible." A super soldier assumed as he stooped to Charles's level. "Or that being defeated by the blessed slaughterer boosted your ego...thinking that no one else could do it. A stupid way of thought." He said as he clenched his fist and raised it upwards. "Regret your stupid thinking in the afterlife!" 

Ha...Physical Enhancement - Adrenaline Doping: Maximum!
