Chapter 722 A One Shot Quest



Elijah was a member of White Rose and there was a reason why he had been sent out to this tier 4 city. He and many other members of White Rose had been sent in search for the cause of the infected Altered as they had been named.

There had been many cases of infected Altered appearing all over the place, not just in tier-4 and 5 cities. However, those had the most reported cases. It seemed like someone was using them as a testing ground.

Because of this, Elijah was to do research into where the infected Altered were coming from and where the black Altered solution was. They knew that the first ones to get their hands on it would be the gangs, but they needed to know who was supplying it to them in the first place.

Because it was clear that this wasn’t just an operation by some tier 4 or 5 city, it had to be something much bigger than that. So far, he had gathered no clues on the infected Altered or the infected solution.

Before he could even try and do research into who could be protecting the gang, he had to confirm that they even had doses of the black solution. There had been no reports of it yet in the current city, which was why he was sent out here, and now he had seen the first case of it with his own eyes.

‘It looks like someone really has supplied the Scavengers with the infected Altered solution after all. It looks like I’ll need to get to the bottom of this somehow.’ Elijah thought. ‘But first, we need to get out of this situation. From what we know, there are three forms of the infected solution that we have found, and the way they can be used.

‘One is to impart a part of the solution to as many people as possible. They will, in turn, get the strength of a regular Altered. However, in this case nearly 9 times out of 10, the Altered that is created becomes a Crazed Altered attacking everything in sight.

‘The second form of the infected Altered solution we have seen was in the form of a pill. This seems to have only been used on those that are already an Altered. If given, it can increase the performance of an Altered dramatically. The issue is that some remain in control, while others have a tendency to become a Crazed Altered as well.

‘If they do become a Crazed Altered this way, then their strength is still beyond what they were capable of before. It's like the current Altered themselves have been supercharged or doped up.

‘Then, there is the final way. If an entire infected Altered solution is given to someone, that will make the person become an infected Altered. When Rex came in here, he seemed totally fine, so I doubt it's the first case scenario.

‘In a tier 4 city like this, for there to be someone like him as an Altered, one that no one knows about, it's unlikely. So the most likely case is the last situation, but if that’s the case, just how many Infected Altered solutions do the Scavengers have to be able to give one to a small squad leader like this?’

Rex stood up on his feet, and soon his whole body started to transform. The dark leather clothes he was wearing ripped apart. A larsh flesh pink tail came out from his back, the two front teeth grew incredibly large in size along with the head, and the two arms became more claw-like and bent down.

There was a part of his body that was now covered in light grey fur, but it was patchy all over the body, and there were purple parts of the skin that could be seen. Almost looking somewhat like an infected wound.

These were clearly the traits of an infected Altered.

“Is that a Rat Altered... and I thought I had it bad.” Gary said to himself.

[Your skill levels are too far apart]

[Show the infected Altered who’s the real boss.]

[Defeat the infected Altered with one attack]

Gary didn’t want to move because he was worried if he did, then it would count as him failing the quest. As the tail moved, it brushed Gary’s face but the rat was no longer moving.

[Quest complete]

[5 pawn points have been awarded]

Gary was over the moon, while everyone else was still stunned by what happened. All of the folloevents, seeing an Altered appear and then one person take it out with ease, just who was this person?

“Gary... how did you?” Elijah, being part of White Rose, knew exactly how impressive that was. He knew strength levels well and it was hard to comprehend even for him, so he couldn't imagine what the workers felt seeing all of this, and possibly figuring out that Gary was an Altered.

“I told you I would handle it, didn’t I!” Gary said, smiling as he turned around. When he did, he had no mask on his face, it had fallen to the floor. The last attack by the Rat Altered, its tail had sliced his mask in half, and when turning around only then could it be felt.

Now, his face was on full view to everyone.

“Wait a second... You look familiar.” Elijah said. “Wait, aren’t you Gary Dem, that famous Altered rookie!”
