105 Firenzes Crisis (2/2)
”Alright I will.”
Mark patted the head of the two gently before going out.
After Mark had gone out of the vehicle, Carlo could not help but ask.
”Mrs. Odel, why do they look like Bro is going to be in danger? He's just going to scout right?”
He did not dare ask Mei and Abbygale. The little girl was not a talker while the beautiful girl was afraid of all males with his Bro as exception. He knew those things after experiencing it before he could even be informed by others of the circumstances when he regained consciousness yesterday night.
Hearing his question, Odelina, let out a bitter smile.
”Master would not bring all his weapons if he's just going to look at the situation. He probably planned on dealing with the situation himself.”
”What?!”
Everyone was alarmed except for Mei and Abbygale who had already guessed it.
”Why is Big Brother going to do that?”
Charm blurted with panic.
”I don't know the exact reason either. But probably, Master wanted to test his body after his second evolution.”

On the other hand, Madam Lanie was surprised to see that only Mark was walking out and nobody else.
”Only you?”
”Only me.”
”That's…”
Madam Lanie was dumbfounded.
”You don't have to think too much.”
Mark then left and walked past the Armored Cadillac. It seemed that he did not even planned on taking a vehicle into the area of confrontation.
Under that dumbfounded eyes of Madam Lanie's group, Mark started to run and used the fences of the house on the opposite street as a foothold and then jumped up towards the roof of the house. The group stood there staring at him until Mark jumped behind the house and they could not see him anymore.
After Mark left, the MB Sprinter then came out of the garage. The people in Mark's team became worried hearing what he planned to do. They decided to watch how their leader would deal with the situation. They would also manage to help sooner if things go south if they were closer to the place.
”Madam Lanie, we need to go out so please move your car a bit.”
Odelina rolled down the window of the driver's seat and called out to the congresswoman who still looked stunned. After all, they just saw a person scale over a two story house in seconds while jumping over two meters high in every jump. They were caught off guard since they saw that Mark was still not able to do those movements yesterday.
”Are you all going to follow Mark?”
Madam Lanie hurriedly asked.
”We are only going to watch until Master calls for us.”
The congresswoman was dumbfounded once more. She did not know where this group of people got this attitude. It was as if they were not affected by the apocalypse at all and were all doing things at their leisure. While Madam Lanie was thinking that, she was also amazed at how these people managed to adapt at the current state of the society.
After the Cadillac moved out of the way, Odelina drove the off towards the gates of the subdivision. Madam Lanie and her bodyguards also followed after.

Mark jumped over from roof to roof in a fast pace. Despite carrying an assault rifle, a shotgun, a machete and a pistol along with several clips and ammunition, his movement was not hindered in any way. While he was running on the roofs, he suddenly shook his head. It was because he detected his team following not far from his location. Even though he said that they have to wait back there at the house.
However, he had no notion to make them return as long as they did not make any move. After all, there were several additions to the group. He must show them that at least, he have the ability to lead them. Furthermore, what Odelina said to Carlo and the girls was right. The main reason Mark decided to move alone this time was to test his current capabilities and the best way to do that was to fight, not only the infected but also other people.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
The sounds coming from the intense shoot out grew louder and louder as he got closer to the gates. When he arrived, he laid prone behind a roof of a house on the corner of the road leading to the gates. He was in the position where he could see everything happening on both camps.
From his location, he could see the members of the police hiding behind cars and other blind spots to his right while to the left was the raiders, the members of the gang syndicate. Mark knew that he was right since from the camp of the attackers, he could detect the same people who were monitoring the vicinity of Firenze last night.
While Mark was monitoring the area, he started to speculate what happened.
'The gates are intact so these people did not charge into the gate by force. There are two people who don't seem to be members of the gang on their side. I see, they probably disguised themselves as survivors to make the policemen open the gates. That is why there are several dead policemen in the middle of the road right by the gates.'
Mark started to murmur while analyzing the situation. He also realized why these gang members gained the courage to attack. First, it was because they had more people. They had seventy while the police only had forty people at the moment. Second, The Mutator of the police seemed to be missing. The third and the main reason, the gang members also had a Mutator on their side.
He noticed the overturned vehicles that the gang members were using as cover. There were no traces that the overturned vehicles had no traces of being pushed over. Also, the position of the overturned vehicles was organized. It led him to assume that the ability of the Mutator among the gang members had the ability that had to do with strengthening his body.
However, Mark could not help but find the emotional fluctuation of the Mutator familiar. It was not a friendly familiarity however, rather, it was animosity.
Mark focused on the person hiding behind one of the overturned vehicles.
It was him…
No wonder that he found that person familiar.
While he was looking at that familiar person, Mark suddenly tilted his head to the right involuntarily.
BANG!!! SWISH!
A loud gunshot echoed followed by a loud swish passing by his ear. Someone just shot him and the bullet was aimed straight at his forehead. Mark looked at the gang member who shot him. The gang member was also staring at him like he had seen a ghost.
Mark frowned. Despite how close he was to the gunfight, his location was not easy to see… Unless that person who just shot him was an evolver who evolved his eye sight. That was the only reason he could think off as he could not detect any other Mutator from the gang members.
Since he was already seen, he might as well make his move. He pulled the silenced assault rifle from his side and aimed. His first target was that person staring at him.
