The last thing he did was to remove his sense of smell and hearing. It was especially dangerous to remove his sense of hearing but it was too important not to.
He went so far to scrap both his middle and inner ear. Only then and with his makeshift shield in front of him did he have the confidence to barrel into the walls.
His intrusion was noticed and unwelcome. The two turrets close to him turned their barrels towards him and opened fire.
Before the advent of the tower of destiny, the average athlete could cover the distance of 100 meters in ten seconds. Laymen needed more time than that.
Currently, 100 meters in 10 seconds is the lowest speed of most supers, regardless of which ability they awakened because all of their attributes will be raised to 10. So everyone can cross 10 meters in 10 seconds unless they lose their stats in the game.
He has 30 points in speed and can shift his other attributes to it briefly to raise it to 90. Even so, he still cannot match the fastest man before the advent of the tower of destiny. That means he will be spending approximately 10 seconds under the fire of the turrets.
His shield did most of the work. It was made from a highly durable metal that hadn't rusted or broken down after decades. If not that the walls it was attached to had decayed, then he wouldn't have been able to take it.
Even so, he wasn't some flus along for the ride. He had to actually carry the heavy door and resist the push of the rain of bullets slamming into him.
He aimed for the weak spots in the wall where the incursion had wrecked havoc on it. Then he slammed his bullet-studded shield into it.
The wall shook but didn't break. He had to move backwards for another pass at it. He repeated this a third time before he could break through the wall.
The only saving grace was that the turrets couldn't shoot at him when he became too close to the walls. They couldn't turn easily due to the metal guards around them protecting them from ranged attacks.
The same thing that prevented them from being shot down from afar made them unable to shoot anything too close to the walls. He used this blind spot to gain access to the building.
He headed for the building in the middle of the compound. It was secured by two walls, each with their own turrets and security system. So he decided not to brave danger by himself.
He first found the guard post to disable the security of the outer walls. The blaring alarm reduced by a third, and the turrets stopped firing immediately.
The other villains looking for a way into the facility took advantage of the opportunity to swarm into the facility. All of them then rushed towards the center of the facility immediately.
A way was created with everyone working together. Some used rocket launchers, and others used grenades. It caused a lot of chaos and destruction, which ensured that any obstacles in their way didn't last. Both the guards and walls fell before them.
Kelvin followed behind them with an assault rifle he had picked up from a dead guard. He can't hear the explosions anyway, so the noise didn't bother him.
Their goal became closer when they breached the second wall. There was just one more wall between them and the main building. There was also someone on top of the wall.
It was a woman. She was wearing a mask covering the upper part of her face. The mask wouldn't be able to obstruct her mouth with the way it was placed.
She opened her mouth now and shrieked at them. A sound wave materialized in front of them into something they could see. Then it smashed into them. It tried to drown them like a real wave of water.
The men at the front of the line exploded into a shower of blood, flesh, and bones when the sbockwave struck them. The wave lost most of its power because of that, but it was still strong enough to make the ears of those behind explode.
The men with the exploded ears fainted then and there. Even the ones at the very back had to hunch their bodies and hold their heads because of the pain.
They didn't look like they could mount up any resistance against her. This is despite many of them using masks to block their nostrils and ear blocks just in preparation to meet the three nightmares. This was the first of them, and they were already routed.
The lady on the wall smiled in disdain. Then she opened her mouth to make another attack. Unfortunately, a bullet from a sniper rifle took her in the mouth and blew her head away.
It was Kelvin who killed her. Without any part of his ear functioning and being at the back of the pack, he was able to weather her sound attack and shoot her in the face.
He raised his gun into the air and screamed, "Let's go."
His voice came out a little weird because he couldn't hear himself, but no one cared about that. They cheered and rushed head first against the last wall standing in their way.
Kelvin grinned to himself and thought, "That makes a clean 300k. Plus the cannon forder I killed, I should have 460k by now."
As one of the two individuals just below Haze in the hierarchy of the Blue Gang, Fainter is worth $300,000. The 8 guards that he killed are worth $20,000 each. This rounds up to a tidy sum, which was enough to put him in a good mood.
His mood became better when he regenerated his ear and could finally hear again. The sounds of explosions and buildings collapsing because of the fire quickly spreading in the base was like music to his ears.
