Chereads / Murder Game / Chapter 55 - Trouble

Chapter 55 - Trouble

Muffled bangs followed by murdered civilians were heard and seen as Jack continued his massacre. Putting the super soldiers on a cat-and-mouse chase and rendering their regular counterparts useless, Jack was still on the run. Reinforcements arrived at a rapid pace. Both aerial and land military vehicles holding regular and super soldiers arrived. 

I suppose that's a good amount now.

Suddenly, as if taking a rest, Jack stopped to sit on the roof of a building. He was immediately confronted by the super soldiers who had a hard time with his speed. 

"Great job, guys." Jack strangely said. He was greeted by negative expressions of the super soldiers. "It's been at least an hour, and I can see many more of you buggers."

Interrupting him, the super soldiers immediately fired at him. Unsurprisingly, he avoided them by moving to another building, emitting a sonic boom in the process. His constant running only fanned the flames of their anger, as pulsating arteries were visible on their heads. 

"How the hell can this shithead keep moving around so much!" An annoyed super soldier asked. "Does he just not get tired!?"

"Alright, alright. I know you buggers are annoyed." Jack mocked. "Don't worry, tho. I'm done running now. There's a ton of you buggers here now!"

Killing many super soldiers...that does sound nice!

"I'm gonna come at ya! If you don't want to die, you better not worry about civilian casualties!!!" 

Due to Jack's advice, the super soldiers seemed alarmed. Dragging his right leg back, Jack prepared to charge at them.

"HERE I CO--" 

BOOM!!!

Like a meteor, someone fell from the sky and attempted to crash into Jack, however, he avoided it by jumping off the building. Upon their impact, the entire building exploded, spreading rocks and dust in the area. 

"What the hell?" A super soldier exclaimed with a confused expression. A similar expression to not only his comrades but also Jack. 

Which bugger is this now?

"Damn, you missed." Said another individual, attracting the attention of everyone in the vicinity. The one who uttered those words was the blessed hunter, Zombie. 

"Tsk, he dodged by dumb luck!" Said the one who crashed into the building as he walked out of the rubble and broken pieces. His rough voice was familiar to the super soldiers, and they were right. It was their comrade, Nailhead, the massive hulking super soldier. 

"Phew...It's about time you guys showed up..." A super soldier said as he sighed with relief. 

"Yes, that was a poor decision of us to not act sooner than we did." Said Lancer as he walked up with his lengthy spear in hand. 

Taking note of the new foes, Jack smirked. 

"You guys must be strong, I'm assuming?" Jack said. "Charles would probably love a spar with you guys."

They didn't utter a word in response but simply stared at him with cold expressions.

"So you guys aren't talkers?" 

"I'm going to rip you limb from limb, dumbass." Nailhead bluntly stated, to which Jack stared and scratched his hair with his knife. 

"Is that so?" Jack responded. Suddenly, the other super soldiers fired at Jack, thinking he wasn't focused on them. However, despite having his back facing them, he still moved out of the way, avoiding them yet again. 

"Damn it! He still dodged that!?"

"You guys will never hit me like that!" Jack said. "Your killing intent is too obvious. Wait your turn though...I've got to teach that big guy a lesson!" 

Suddenly, Jack appeared above Nailhead. 

Big or small...you all get killed the same!

Successfully, Jack struck Nailhead's chest with both knives. 

CRACK!

Much to Jack's surprise, his knives did not pierce Nailhead's chest. Instead, the blade shattered upon impact. 

What the hell? His body is so tough--

Suddenly, Nailhead delivered a powerful punch to the side of Jack's head. However, he blocked with his hands just in time. Cracking sounds could be heard as Jack's arms contorted, much to his surprise. He immediately dropped his knives as his arms contorted. 

The strike was also strong enough to slam Jack through a building, knocking into hiding civilians before ending up in another building. 

"Hey! There are civilians in those buildings!" A super soldier yelled. "What the hell are you doing--"

"Who the hell are you talking to?" Nailhead interjected as he stared at the super soldier. "Do you want to be next?" 

Nailhead's towering figure along with his scary, scarred face, greatly intimidated the super soldier. "...no." 

"Nailhead, no intimidating our comrades," Lancer instructed. 

As Jack lay in the building he crashed into, he tried to move his arms around.

Bloody and in a contorted position, his arms were not responding to his movements.

Damn, my arms busted. If that guy hadn't radiated so much killing intent, I probably wouldn't have blocked in time since that punch was fast...that would have been my head and not my arms. Maybe I'd survive though...

Using only his legs, he rolled onto his stomach to pick himself up. 

Hearing groans of agony, Jack noticed that there were civilians crushed underneath building rubble. 

I can tell that guy does not care about civilians...haha. That's a fun type of guy.

Coldly walking on the rubble that was crushing the civilians, Jack returned to the battle. 

"Still alive, huh." Lancer noticed. "Seems you aren't just fast, but can also take a hit..."

"Haha...I guess." Jack shyly acted.

"But with those wrecked arms, you can no longer murder anyone, nor can you fight," Zombie stated. "You'll be eliminated right here, right now." 

Jack simply smiled at him. 

"Yeah...this isn't fair play," Jack said. "So bye!"

Suddenly, with an immediate sonic boom, Jack began to run, much to the other super soldiers' annoyance.

"Don't let him get away--"

"Don't worry, we've got the blessed hunters with us." A super soldier assured his comrade. 

As Jack zoomed across the city, his broken arms were flailing behind him. 

I'll go back to running and wait for my other party members...or I could just leave and get some more kills...

"How disappointing." Said Lancer as he was right on Jack's tail. "It doesn't seem like you're faster than me." 

Wow...I'm going full speed too--

Suddenly, Lancer began thrusting his spear at Jack, causing him to stop running and have to focus on weaving. While he successfully avoided being impaled by his superfast spear thrusts, Lancer suddenly did a downward swing, slashing Jack across his chest. It was too fast for him to avoid. 

"Ugh!" Jack uttered as he jumped back in an attempt to gain distance. Simultaneously, Nailhead and Zombie stood at Jack's sides, while Lancer stayed in front of him. 

"For someone blessed with speed, it truly is disappointing." Lancer mocked. 

"Remember I promised that I'm going to rip you limb from limb?" Nailhead reminded. "Since your weak little arms are broken, I'll start with that first!!!" 

Zombie didn't say anything but coldly watched Jack.

Sigh, one with Charles-like strength, another with a spear and extreme speed...and I don't even know what the third guy does. To think that super soldiers would be this annoying...
