Chapter 55: What The...?
"Mr. Von Death by any chance are they youre biological siblings?"
Mark couldn't help but ask after examining our different style white hair, unhealthy pale skin, and stature more closely.
"Something like that"
I said while smiling without explaining much.
"I see please follow me"
Mark said with a serious tone as he started leading the way to a private jet, once Inside Mark motioned for us to sit down on the luxurious passenger seats.
"Mr. Eclipse said that you have already located Mr. Abdul, sadly because of the short notice I can mobilize a company of motorized Infantry to assist you"
Mark said helplessly as he sat down In front of me.
"No need, we four are more than enough all I need from you Is an armored car and military gear"
I said as I grabbed the bottle of champagne from the sexy flight attendant's tray and drank a mouthful In one go.
Hearing this Mark couldn't help but blink his eyes In disbelief because those militants weren't just random thugs with guns.
They were highly trained and armed professionals at the level of special forces soldiers so he couldn't help but open his mouth to voice his protest.
Only to close It the next second upon seeing the four OISTs In front of him focus his eyes on him after they removed their sunglasses as they released they're murderous aura.
Mark almost had a heart attack upon sensing the bloodlust and stench of death emanating from Dracula and his soldiers.
"Never mind..."
Mark managed to say with his dry mouth.
"...just tell me what you need exactly"
Mark finished his words as he pulled out his satellite phone and extended Its antenna.
...
As Wolf deposited the remaining money from Hope's first trip Into her bank account he couldn't help but look at the full-of-life sight around him In a daze.
Not In his wildest dreams did he ever think that something like time travel could be possible.
For a moment he had the thought of returning to the north and using his knowledge to change the future of his ancestral land.
But he quickly extinguished that thought because If there was one man who could save humanity from Itself It was Dracula.
And although he didn't know this, but If he didn't extinguish that thought the moment he did.
After Dracula returned, he would be a dead man whose whole body would have been cannibalized to fix other critically Injured OISTs.
Because Lilith was now monitoring every OIST that came back to the past and would monitor every other that would get rescued In the future.
As for why he thought that only Dracula could save humanity, well the simple fact was that.
He had accompanied Dracula the longest not counting his old comrades who had died one after another after Dracula became an OIST.
Even though Dracula hid It well he couldn't hide his true worldview entirely from Wolf who also shared Dracula's sentiments.
Just like Dracula, he was fully convinced that humanity could only survive and thrive under one banner.
And as the future had proven after humanity had entered the space age they chose to destroy themselves In the end because that was their nature.
He didn't know If It was the so-called g*ds that made this possible or something else but the fact that they could travel to the past remained.
And he was ready to give his life to save humanity from Itself, If he had to fight the entire world to ensure It then so be It.
...
As I and my soldiers together with Mark and his men stepped out from Abdul's private jet after landing In the closest airport to Abdul's holding location.
The a*rican heat assaulted our bodies but because our AIs constantly regulated our body temperature we had no problem.
But Mark and his men were already sweating buckets of sweat, suddenly a Humvee came to a screeching halt.
As It did the driver hopped out from the driver seat and opened the Inclined trunk where four sets of armored vests, scar-H with under-barrel grenade launchers, 32 extended assault rifle magazines, and Glock 17 pistols with 12 also extended mags with all kinds of grenades were neatly placed.
Seeing this I and my soldiers Immediately started taking off our field jackets, revealing our black short-sleeved T-shirts that clung tightly to our muscular with varying degrees of tattooed tops.
"J*sus what did you guys eat while growing up?"
One of Mark's men couldn't help but comment.
"Steroids and good old granmas cooking"
Lock one of my death squad's snipers answered while grinning as he stuffed his folded black beret Into his right thigh pocket and after that put on an armored vest.
"Dont forget the creatine, protein, and gainer milkshakes"
I added as I stuffed seven loaded magazines Into my armored vest pouches that could barely cover our vitals because of our build.
"Hahaha..."
My men laughed their asses off because although It was all bullshit but at the same time It was more or less how we were made.
Well If you can call growth Inducing stimulants and all kinds of highly unsafe, ethically and morally questionable drugs a friendly milkshake.
That stuff bodybuilders like to drink Is like a children's soft drink compared to what we were pumped with.
"Lock youre on 50 cal, Chen youre driving"
I gave out my orders as I Inserted a mag Into my scar H rifle, pulled back the bolt, and released It causing a fresh round to enter the firing chamber.
"Copy"
"Got It'
The two men answered while I wrapped a desert pattern scar around my neck and pulled It up to my nose while getting Into the co-driver seat.
"Alright let's go!"
I barked as I strongly patted the top of the armored car encouraging my men to get Inside after closing the trunk.
"I'll contact you soon"
I said to Mark before closing the armored doors as I did Chen pressed the gas pedal, causing the armored car to drive off with a furious roar.
"So where to boss?"
Chen asked as he drove out from the airport straight Into the endless desert.
"One sec"
I said while calling out to Lilith In my mind.
Connect to the nearest military sattelite and upload directions for Chen.
I ordered, not even a second passed as holographic navigation markers appeared In Chens view.
While Infrared, normal and x-ray live video feed of the compound where Abdul was being held appeared In my view.
"What the...?"
I couldn't help but mutter to myself after comparing the feeds because In x-ray one I could clearly see a humanoid figure but the figure wasn't giving off any heat on the Infrared.
Lilith what's going? Is the sattelite malfunctioning or am I going bunkers already?
I couldn't help but ask Inside my mind.
Sir there Is nothing wrong with the sattelite, the only way I can explain this Is that the enemy most likely has some kind of advanced suit that prevents the wearers heat from being exposed to Infrared scanning.
Lilith reported In one breath but hearing this I couldn't help but frown because this kind of technology was way beyond d the current era.
F*ck It I'll get to the bottom of It after I kill the f*ckers.
I thought In my mind.
"So sir what's the plan do we go In guns blazing or...?"
Before Lock could finish his words I shared the sattelites live video feed with ewryone.
"Got It guns blazing"
Lock said after seeing that there was nothing around for miles around the abandoned village that consisted of few mud houses.
"Hey boss do we put on our power armor before storming In or do you actually want us to barge In with this obselete gear?"
Chen couldn thelp but ask while keeping his eyes on the horizon that only had endless desert In sight for now.
"What don't tell me you don't want to experience how It was before we became OISTs?"
I asked with a devilish grin plastered on my face as I licked my canines with my tongue.
Hearing this my men snickered evilly.
"Got It boss old gear It is"
Chen said while snickering as he gripped the wheel In anticipation.
