104 What kind of a research facility is this? (1/2)

Linri stood before the now headless body. His left hand was holding a sword made of ice and blood was dripping from its tip. The Silver Serpent bracelet on his right hand, under his black clothes, was giving off red lights again but Linri did not notice it this time. Linri manipulated the Ice sword and made it coil around his left thigh. He might need it again and at that time he would not have to waste his prana.

Linri grabbed the guns and the magazine from the now-dead guards. They did not have much it will have to do. Now everyone should have ARs. When Linri was walking past his now blood red Ice wall he manipulated parts of it to close down his bullet wounds. And made an ice gauntlet from it for his wounded left arm. He hadn't even taken 10% of the wall but this was the limit of what he could do. Anymore and his movement would be restricted and if he tried to bring it together with him he would have to constantly use Ice Manipulation on it to make it move. That would need too much mental energy and he did not think that he could afford it.

”So you guys done yet?” Linri asked Hayato who was standing there with his arms closed.

”Yes and I can see that you are done as well.” Hayato sounded annoyed for some reason but for now, Linri did not have enough to delve into his psychology. He handed the ARs and magazines to Leslie and Hayato.

Right now Leslie had an unreadable expression on her face. When she got the AR she could not help but ask a question.

”Do you need any first aid? How are your wounds?”

”I should not bleed out any time soon. I sealed off the wounds with ice.” Linri answered her blandly and supported Gendor.

”But that is no solution, you should still be in so much pain?” What Leslie said sounded more like a question than a statement. I guess she was not really sure whether Linri was in pain or not from the way he moved his body.

”Yes, so?”

”So? How can you even walk with those bullet wounds let alone help me carry him?” The group was done with looting the corpses and they started to move swiftly towards the residential area.

”My does not have any kind of self-preservation instincts. So to me, pain is just a feeling like happiness or sadness. The only annoying thing is because of the wounds my movement is a little hindered.” Leslie looked towards him like looking at a freak.

”Are you an elemental?” Linri was confused by her question.

”What do you mean by elemental?”
