30 True Happiness (1/2)
Entire wasteland was covered by dark clouds full of golden lightning. The lightning seemed to be shackled as if to prevent the world from destruction.
Far away in Delta City, people had their mouths wide open witnessing the dark clouds outside the city. Every mutant felt fear like never before.
In the center of Delta City lied a hundred storied building operated by World Government officials. The 70th floor had an emergency room full of computer screens and hologram projectors.
There were around ten officers staring at a hologram projecting the wasteland outside Delta City. The projection was only able to showcase the general feature of wasted and the dark clouds with golden lightning.
”Just what is going in the wasteland?”
”The sensors are not able to read anything!”
”Is there some EMP device?!”
”The satellites can't collect any data as well!”
”We have lost contact with the fighter jets in the wasteland area as well!”
”Is this the work of that freedom fighte-- terrorist?”
”Unlikely. We had no Intel or instructions from the Holy City of World Government!”
”Then who can create such a scene here?”
A middle-aged man with brown hairs witnessed the discussion between his subordinates.
”Is it necessary that a mutant is responsible for this?” The middle-aged man asked.
”Sir Sylvan, what do you mean?”
”Isn't it obvious? There is some phenomenon created by Divine Particles or those strange meteorites,” Sylvan said.
”What?”
”You wouldn't know as most of you are new here but four years ago a similar scene occurred! The only difference was it occurred in the mining area of BSE79 meteorite instead of wasteland!” Sylvan said in an excited voice.
”Four years ago? Don't tell me....! ”
”Th-that was when Castor Damon disappeared!”
”He was last seen in Delta City on a personal mission!”
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Castor Damon! Level IX scientist from World Government! One of the most reputable scientists in the entire world. Four years ago he has disappeared but his last known location was Delta City! The world government and many hidden organizations have tried to find him but failed.
”A-are you saying it is related to the disappearance of Castor Damon?”
”Hehe. A year ago, Holy City concluded that Castor Damon was working on a secret project. He hid it from everyone including the World Government! Whatever he was trying to do led to his arrival in Delta City!” Sylvian's eyes were filled with greed as he continued,” I don't know much but one thing I know for sure is that all his life signals disappeared four years ago! It happened moments after the arrival of golden lightning and dark clouds! Now the same phenomenon has arrived again!”
The officers nodded their head in understanding. It was evident this phenomenon was extraordinary seeing the involvement of a Level IX scientist.
”It would be great if I could find what Castor Damon was seeking for!” Sylvan thought with a smirk, ”But I have to be careful. Even World Government isn't sure Castor Damon is dead or not. He could have found a mean to destroy the chip inside him releasing his life signals! Perhaps he is alive or he might be dead. In both cases, it would be dangerous for me!”
”Sir, what should we do?” A subordinate asked when he saw Sylvan lost in his thoughts. The subordinate didn't know how to tackle the current situation.
”Send 20 of our S class armored vehicles along with Spirit rank mutants! Investigate the wasteland carefully,” Sylvan said in a serious voice.
------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, at the wasteland. The barrier surrounding the battlefield was erased from very existence! Earlier it has encompassed some 100 sq.km restricting all forms of communication! Now, all the machines creating the barrier were erased just like the barrier itself.
The pressure from golden lightning and dark clouds were destroying everything in the wasteland. Plateau started dissipating from very existence!
At the center of wasteland, the pressure from golden lightning was nullified due to Kiba's command earlier as he didn't wish his opponents to die so easily!
Eight mutilated corpses were lying on the ground. Few meters away, Lisa was kneeling on the ground with blood leaking from her orifices. The golden lightning wasn't releasing the pressure on her now, but she has already lost suffered serious injuries before Kiba stopped the pressure.
