Kill the Sun

Chapter 372 Chapter 372 – Black Hair

Nick’s heart rate increased when he saw the man running towards the south.

‘There is most likely at least one Expert there,’ Nick thought.

“Jenny, take the Specter!” Nick shouted as he threw the Specter to Jenny.

Jenny caught it, and Nick jumped past her.

“Continue towards the city, everyone!” Nick ordered. “I will keep watch over our back!”

The team started to run at full speed while Nick ran behind them.

Fortunately, his ability had activated again, which meant that no one was looking at him right now.

Nick kept looking towards the south as he ran after his team.

They were about four kilometers away from the city’s entrance, but there were a couple of hills between their current location and the entrance.

“Do not turn around! Just keep running!” Nick ordered with a shout as he felt his ability deactivate after Petra glanced back.

Petra quickly turned forward again, but she was still worried for Nick.

After a couple of seconds, Nick turned to look at his team.

He wanted to make sure that if his ability suddenly deactivated, it wasn’t because one of his teammates was looking at him.

Twenty seconds later, only three kilometers were between them and the bridge.

Nick’s ability deactivated.

Nick rapidly looked in all directions.

But there was nobody!

He couldn’t see anyone looking at him!

“DO NOT TURN AROUND!” Nick shouted.

WHOOOOM!

Suddenly, a huge ball of light appeared around Nick.

The four Extractors running in front of Nick felt like everything behind them was being swallowed by light.

Nick lost 80% of his Zephyx by making the ball of light so bright but now was not the time to save Zephyx.

And it was worth it since his ability reactivated again.

As soon as it did, he turned his back to the direction of the city and jumped.

Nick was jumping backward over his group while reaching a height of nearly a hundred meters.

At that height, Nick had to be extremely careful not to look at the city accidentally.

However, it also allowed him to see the person that had just been looking at him.

Right now, the person was rubbing their eyes furiously.

This was why Nick’s ability cost so much Zephyx.

It had such a strong blinding effect that even Veterans and weak Experts would lose their eyesight.

Even more, the standard Barriers on the market were not designed to block this kind of light.

“Woman from Anatomy! Standardized MK-45 guns! Black hair! At least Veteran!” Nick shouted as loud as he could, his powerful voice traveling for over two kilometers. 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥.𝒸𝑜𝘮

By now, the woman’s eyes had recovered, and she glared at Nick, who was touching the ground again in front of the group.

Her hands shook in frustration.

And then…

She turned around and ran towards the south.

Naturally, this had been Nick’s goal.

If a dead person loudly announced the appearance of a person moments before they died, it would seem very likely that this person would be the killer.

Nick had announced enough attributes of the woman’s appearance so that anyone could identify her.

Naturally, her goal had been to kill Nick.

She was one of Anatomy’s Experts, and her position was already high enough that she was involved in several of Anatomy’s illegal activities.

Anatomy was looking closely at Dark Dream, and Dark Dream’s CZE was one of their main targets.

Yes, the woman had actually not been interested in the Specter.

She hadn’t been here to steal the Specter but to kill Nick.

Sadly, she had just heard about Nick being outside from the Veteran who had run towards their Infester.

If she had time to prepare, she would put a cloak on, change her weapons, and stalk the group until she could take care of them in silence.

However, the group was already running back to the city on high alert.

Because of that, she didn’t have any time to prepare.

And since Nick had just uncovered her, she couldn’t kill him anymore.

She definitely had the power to kill Nick and his four teammates.

That would barely take five seconds.

But what if someone else was present and heard Nick?

What if the guards at the city’s entrance heard him?

After all, his shout had been extremely loud.

Well, if Nick suddenly died, everyone would look at her.

She would most likely be found guilty and executed, and even more, Anatomy would receive brutal punishment as well.

Even if she were willing to sacrifice herself, killing Nick now would make Anatomy furious.

Yes, they wanted Dark Dream, but the risk-to-reward ratio was atrocious right now.

The good thing was that she hadn’t committed to attacking yet.

Even if Dark Dream reported her, she could just say that she was passing by.

However, one thing still severely annoyed her.

‘Lucky bastard,’ she thought. ‘He used that flash exactly when I was aiming at him!’

Nick landed in front of the group and looked towards the east, the place where that Extractor had just aimed at him.

Fortunately, nothing happened in the next couple of seconds.

When the team was only two kilometers away from the bridge, they got to a spot that was visible from the city’s entrance.

“Hey!” Nick shouted, waving at the distant guards.

Some of them looked at the distant Nick.

They had heard his shout earlier, and they knew exactly what happened.

When they saw the black body that Nick was carrying, they knew why someone had targeted them.

Naturally, the guards were not happy to see Nick carrying a Specter.

These four guards were working for Anatomy, Kugelblitz, and Ghosty’s Lab, and they would rather have the Specter in their companies.

Sadly, there was nothing they could do.

They just watched as Nick’s group approached them and walked past them into the corridor.

“Lucky bastard got a Specter,” one of them commented.

No one answered him.

When Nick saw the two Experts in front of the bridge, he sighed in relief.

They were safe now.
