54 Wait, Hold Up (1/2)

”We need backup, come back right now!” Waller immediately resumed communication and called out to his little buddies, as currently, he was beginning to sweat through his buttcrack.

Two in front of them, and two more coming back, what was he going to do?

”Aurora, yo, it's your booooy, remember me? I need some help here!” Jay continued with his attempt to summon the goddess that was able to help him easily to an innovator earlier.

Waller and his deputy captain decided to use range attacks first to test out Jay's strength as they wait for their reinforcement to arrive. Both of them fired their rifles and coated the bullets with GN particles.

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit...

Jay sprinted and slid behind a Cadillac. Although the big car could block the enemy vision, it wasn't enough to stop the coated bullets at all.

Running out of time to wait for Aurora's response, Jay knew he had to strike now or his body's gonna be shot into a bee nest. He immediately rolled a smoke grenade he picked up earlier out from under the car, and this military-grade smoke grenade immediately put up a thick smoke screen.

He charged into the smoke and decided to go for the deputy captain, who appeared to be the weaker link of the two of them.

Although higher-level crimson-tier innovators could use their GN particles to scout the area, it does take time to send and retrieve feedback. In comparison, gold-tier innovators or higher could release enough particles in the area around them and connect their neural network to those particles, receiving updates in real time when the particles pick up heat and movement.

Without time to pinpoint Jay's location, Waller and his deputy cap could only back up as they sprayed into the smoke.

Faced with the heavy rain of bullets, Jay surprisingly realized that he could faintly see through the smoke. Not only that, he could see the trajectory of those bullets as if they were moving in slow motion, allowing him to execute evasive maneuvers accordingly.

”Try slashing the bullets with your katana,” the familiar female voice sounded again.

Jay was elated to hear that voice again. Raising the blade, he slashed it against a bullet that was coming right at his face.
