Chapter 370 Speculations
The other three did not say anything in response to what he had said. Instead, they all looked around, and they saw the way that things were. They could tell that someone was here, even without looking at the devices that they were carrying.
The devices that they possess were used in order to track the presence of mutants. This was a technology that had been introduced quite a while back, it was just that it was rarely used.
After all, most of the mutants would not dare to easily venture outside the central province, and into the other provinces. Those that really dared to do that would face consequences, of which in most situations, it was death.
This device could be used in such a way that the moment that a person used the ability that they possessed, it would be detected. Then, on the device, a map would appear, and the location would be pointed out.
It was just that this device was not capable of tracking the movements of the mutant unless they were currently using the ability that they possessed.
That implied that if those that were possessing the device were quite a distance away, and the mutant the stopped using their ability, and moved to another place, when they arrived, they would not be able to find them.
The only thing that they could do was to try and find any clues that would point towards the direction that they had gone to. Simply put, the only thing that they were depending on at the moment was luck and surprise.
They moved in such a way that nobody would be able to know that they were in an area at what time. For that reason, they would be able to easily get a mutant without the mutant expecting it.
As the group of four looked around, they could see several scattered three branches that were quite huge. They could see that they had been divided into several pieces, and just from looking at them, they could tell that they were divided in almost the same proportions.
"I don't know what they were doing, but it seems like they were practicing? Do you think that it was a mutant that just appeared?" One of them asked. From the voice, one could tell that it was a female.
"That is a possibility, but the possibility of something like that is extremely low. After all, how many mutants are there? And, what is the possibility of creating a mutant at this moment?
The research has never been successful ever since back then, and during the past few years, nobody has ever reported success. There is a possibility that the mercenaries might have managed to create mutants, but I doubt that they can succeed.
Additionally, nobody has ever found that lab. That lab possesses every piece of information that is required. I don't really know how those two scientists managed to hide it, but even the government was not able to get it.
Without the data from those two scientists, I really doubt that there is any possibility of anyone being able to replicate what they had done anytime soon.
It really Is a pity that they died, yet they saved us." The man who had spoken first responded.
The others also thought the same way. They understood about the projects that were being carried out, and understood that it was not just a government that did so.
Yes, they were part of the government, but they worked from the shadows. They were supposed to be dealing with those rogue mutants, that decided to join other forces other than the government.
Ordinary forces of the government could obviously not manage to subdue mutants. Only mutants could do so. So, of course, they possessed quite a lot of information as well.
They understood that other than the government, are the forces such as the Raven mercenary group were also carrying out research of their own. It was just that where they were carrying out the research was currently unknown.
Otherwise, that place would have already been busted by now. The government could not allow anything that would lead to instability within the country to exist. So of course, if they found out where the Raven mercenary group was going out the research, they would eliminate them immediately.
Currently, they had been sent over, after being informed that there were activities of mutants in this area. Dead bodies had already been recovered, and had already been confirmed but they were from mutants.
It was just that nobody could tell how many mutants were there. As for the information that they had received about these mutants fighting against each other and dying in the end, they did not take that seriously.
They themselves as mutants understood that it was not that easy to be able to kill a mutant. And, in an open fight, it was impossible for all mutants to die.
And by looking at the wounds on the bodies of the mutants that had died, at least two of them, it was clear that they had been attacked in the same way. This indicated that there was a mutant of a higher level than those two, that had killed them.
As for the last one, they believed that there was a mutant with a higher telekinetic ability, which led to the death of the other mutant. So far, they believe that there were at least two mutants in the area.
It was just that even after an entire week of searching, they had not detected any activities of the mutants. It was only recently that they suddenly detected fluctuations of the genetic abilities that they suddenly rushed over.
But what they were seeing here was trying to tell them that there was yet another mutant, which would lead to the possibility of there being three mutants.
They themselves were slightly confused about what could have attracted all the mutants here. They had already tried looking, trying to find any information about anything that could attract the mutants here, but they found nothing.
"Okay, let's just leave. We will continue searching. This process is going to continue for an entire month. Unless we are completely sure that there are no mutants here, we are not going to leave anytime soon." The man spoke.
Immediately after that, the group of four continued moving within the forest, trying to find the traces of any mutants within the surrounding areas of Rezi city.
….
Jaden obviously did not know about what had happened after he had left. It was just that after he had gotten back to the villa, his phone suddenly rang.
As for the caller, it was none other than John. Jaden could not help but be slightly surprised, wondering what John wanted to do at the moment.
After all, even though John was part of the special unit, it was not as if the special unit acted continuously. Instead, it really rarely acted, considering that the mercenaries were not stupid enough to just provoke the special unit unless there were benefits.
Despite John being targeted by the Bloodhound Mercenary group, that mercenary group would obviously not just act recklessly. It was not as if John had provoked the entire mercenary group, but instead, it was just the second in command of the mercenary group.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jaden did not question the reason why he was being called over. If John wanted to go somewhere, Jaden would obviously have to accompany him, considering that he was the bodyguard.
He Immediately got into another car that he had bought. It was yet another BMW 7 Series, which was not expensive at all. Jaden drove towards the restaurant that was located not far away from where he was living.
That was where John had told him that he was at the moment. Even though Jaden was not happy about that, considering that John did not inform him before leaving the family residence, he still decided to hurry over there. Find more to read at empire
Currently, they were inside the city, where, most probably, the mercenaries would not take action. But the recent event where a business person had been kidnapped, and used as a bait against him was an example, indicating that even the city was not safe.
A few minutes later, Jaden arrived outside the restaurant. After parking the car, he headed towards the restaurant entrance, where he found that John was waiting for him.
"Hey, don't you go somewhere? It is as if you are always within the city, where whenever I want to go anywhere, the moment that I call, you will be here in just a few minutes." John inquired as he looked at Jaden with a smile on his face.
"I'm currently on duty, which of course doesn't allow me to easily go anywhere. I have to be close, just in case." Jaden responded.
Where he was living was not that far away from the Robert family residence, something that made what Jaden had said to make sense.
John raised his brows slightly upon hearing that. But when he thought about it, he felt that it actually made sense. It was just that after knowing about Jaden being a mutant, he just found it quite strange.
After all, recently, due to the fact that several mutants had appeared around the city, John had decided to use his family influence in order to acquire information about mutants. Even though he had not gained that much information, it was enough to be able to tell him about the status of the mutants.
For him, it was quite an honor to be protected by a mutant. And so far, if Jaden really wanted to do any damage to him, he would have already done so.
"Come, I would like you to meet someone." John said. Even though Jaden was a mutant, John still treated him the same way as before.
