Chapter 167 - Getting Away

Mark didn't bother Kevin's sarcastic remark and simply leaned against the vehicle. Both of them were completely exhausted, especially Kevin with blood loss. Mark slowly bent down before taking out a few emergency medical supplies they had and applying them to Kevin. 

"This was one tough case. That guy was literally a gorilla. Man, death is better at this point." Sighing like an old man, Kevin commented. 

"I'll give you a swift death if you don't stop nagging like that. Try to recover at least a bit, we need to go to the other site too. So let's not try to waste time here." Sending a glare towards his idiotic friend. 

Kevin quickly shut his mouth after hearing Mark's remark and started to recover a bit of his energy. After getting some first aid done, the blood was not gushing out, and they could stop it from becoming more serious.

Mark was a bit better than Kevin, as his mutated body had a faster regeneration speed even without using his strange powers. His blood loss decreased and after 15 minutes he could finally stand up properly even though it pained a bit. 

As Kevin was still recovering, Mark looked inside the jeeps as if any one of them had its keys. After going through a few, he finally found the one and got inside. Turning the jeep on, he drove it towards where Kevin was and got down to help him get in. 

"I never thought, there will be a day where you help me like this. It was always me helping your sorry *ss." Kevin chuckled as Mark got him into the back seat. 

Mark only shook his head and got inside once again. As he was about to drive away, Kevin shouted, "Stop." Slamming the breaks, he turned back and saw Kevin taking out stuff from his bag while stretching out his hands. 

"Give me the grenades you got." 

Understanding what he wanted to do, Mark took out most of the grenades, leaving some for an emergency, and gave it to him. Kevin shoved all of them inside his bag and looked out the window. 

Removing one pin off a grenade in the bag, he quickly threw all of them with all he had into the building. Mark didn't wait for the bombs to blow up and slammed the accelerator to get out of that area. As they got out of the compound, an ear-shattering sound came from behind and they could feel rocks and other stuff thrown all around them. 

The school building completely collapsed to the ground right on all the gang members that occupied it. One of the strongest camps in Stargaze City fell to the attack of only two people. As the jeep drove away, the huge pile of rocks moved and a hairy arm reached out. 

It was Kane. Just like Mark, His mutation gave him a better recovery speed, allowing him to live even though Mark drove a sword through his head. Slowly climbing out of the pile of rocks, Kane had bloodshot eyes portraying the deep hatred. 

"I swear I will come after both of you. You destroyed the empire I built, killed the only family member I had left. I, Kane, won't die or give up until you are dead." Swearing on his life, his hatred further solidified. He slowly stood up and limped away as most of the fur he had was now burnt and charred black, making him look hideous. 

Mark continued to dive towards the downtown, where most of the high-rise buildings are located and the location of the battle was happening. He still needed to provide support as most of the enemy camp's men were in the front line due to the successful distraction making their work easier. 

He didn't know that his negligence of not taking care of the enemy in a clean manner would come back to bite him in a big manner in the future. 

After a few more minutes, he could finally hear loud gun noises in the distance with various people shouting constantly. As they drove closer, they could see flames fuming everywhere around the main area of the battle. Stopping the car just a few blocks away, both of them got down. Kevin had enough rest to push himself a bit more and could now walk a bit. 

With the guns in their hands, both slowly made their way towards the central area of the battle. It didn't take them long until they saw a few enemies and Mark shot them before they could even react properly. 

As they got closer; they finally got a good look at how things were going on. Most of the cars around were overthrown, and they could see by whom. It was Denton, fighting against another man who had enlarged arms. He could see the rest of the military behind a barricade made by cars and were clearly getting pushed back heavily. 

He sighed in relief when he saw his team members were alright and looked at Kevin. 

"Go around the back and regroup with our team on the other side." 

"What about you?"

"I'll wreak havoc on this side. So go now." With a slight smile on his face. Kevin nodded and slowly walked away with the AK in his hand. 

"Now let's get this done and go home quickly to have a nice rest." Clutching the two guns in his hand.

Hey guys, it's me, your lovely author, Cruchymonster. Now it's been quite a while since the last update (*Cough* 28 days, to be exact). Now there are two reasons for this, one bad and one good. 

Let's start with the bad one, I got the virus and had to be quarantined(home) for two weeks. Was too weak to write any chapters at that time and unluckily my stockpile ran out at that exact moment. So I couldn't write and update. Now I'm all better and feeling well, though. So it's ok. 

Now with that news out of the way, let's go to the good news, I finally released the new book I was working on. Its a transmigration showbiz called 'Rebirth: King to Superstar' and yes, it's for spirity just like this one was.  It's mainly about a King who didn't fulfill is wishes and gets a chance to become an actor like he always wanted. If you want to know more, you gotta read it. 

I hope you guys support the new book. It's in the new rankings now and I would be very happy if you can read it and if you like it, drop a few stones for it. 

As a sorry, I will release daily this whole week before going back to the old schedule. 

Stay safe out there, guys.
