Chapter 361 Sudden Attack
John was slightly confused when he saw that Jaden was preventing him from leaving. Currently, this was the chance for them to get out of the car, and begin approaching the phantom.
They could get a good position from which they would be able to see if there was a chance of rescuing the hostage. At the same time, it was also a good opportunity for them to leave the car, just in case the enemy decided to destroy the car that they were currently in.
Jaden did not say anything in response to the confusion that was on John's face. Instead, he continued observing the car in front of them. But other than that, all of his senses were currently activated, paying attention to their surroundings.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
He was not sure about what was going on, but he believed that there was a greater danger than what they had detected. There was definitely someone that was beyond ordinary here. And there was a possibility that there was a mutant.
It was just that Jaden was not sure about that at the moment. So, he decided to continue remaining within the car, until he was sure about where that feeling that he was getting was coming from.
John on the other hand was continuously confused from the fact that Jaden was not saying anything despite holding him back from leaving. He looked towards the car, and was a little worried.
There was a possibility that whoever it was that was currently driving the car was part of the mercenaries. And since they had driven the car here, there was yet another possibility that his friends were currently here.
Maybe this was an ambush that had been set in order to deal with him and the other members of the Eagle team. And yet, there was another probability that this was not a trap, but just that the target had already been dealt with.
But considering that there were people that were keeping watch, it was going to be difficult for the mercenary to be able to leave after killing. That might have been the reason why they had decided to drive all this way, until they had gotten out of the city.
While out of the city, it was going to be quite easy for the mercenaries to be able to escape. After all, they would not be hunted down by the police and other forces within the city.
Despite all the probabilities that he was thinking about, John really wanted to get out of the car. But he decided to trust Jaden. He did not believe that Jaden had the intention of stopping him from rescuing someone.
There had to be a good reason why Jaden was preventing him from leaving the car at the moment. Additionally, since Jaden was silent, and his expression was extremely serious, it seemed that he had detected something.
John had already learned that Jaden was extremely sensitive to danger during the first mission that they had gone together. At that time, Jaden had saved him three consecutive times. So of course, since Jaden had stopped him from leaving the car, there might be danger.
It was just that he was confused, wondering if by continuing to stay in the car, they were not putting their lives in greater danger. After all, if the car exploded, they would just die in here.
But if they left, there was a chance that they could use the vegetation around them in order to be able to hide while waiting for backup from the rest of the members of the Eagle team.
Jaden did not know what John was thinking at the moment. He just concentrated on the feeling that he was getting, trying to find the source.
But he felt that despite feeling the general direction that the feeling was coming from, he was unable to detect where exactly that feeling was coming from. Additionally, he was not even able to tell the distance between him and the owner of the gaze that was giving him that feeling.
Jaden believed that there was a possibility that whoever it was that was observing him, was close by. This was something that he had learned from the previous attempt on his life.
Suddenly, Jaden felt danger. His sharp sense of hearing could not detect anything that was launched towards him, like the previous time. But nonetheless, he felt that he was being attacked.
Just a few moments after Jaden had felt that there was danger that was approaching, the car suddenly begun getting deformed. It was as if there was someone that was applying pressure from outside, trying to compress the car.
"F*ck! What the hell is this?!"
John was so shocked that he cursed out loud. This was obviously the first time that he was experiencing something like this. He would not be that much surprised if it was just the roof of the car that was being compressed downwards.
It was just that he felt that not only was the pressure coming from above, but even the door that was close to him had suddenly began contracting, moving inwards, pushing him deeper into the car.
And through the windscreen of the car, he could see that even the bonnet of the car and also began crumpling. He felt that this was something that was straight out of fantasy.
How was it possible that the car was being compressed? Could it be that they had somehow entered a place that had something supernatural, which had led to the car being compressed by the gravity that was unstable?
But when he looked at the phantom car in front, he realized that it was not being affected at all. That implied that this was an attack on them. Just what kind of technology was being used in order to attack them?
Many thoughts appeared in John's mind, as he wondered what he was supposed to do. But he was surprised when he saw Jaden was calm. At that moment, he was somehow influenced as well, and became calm. At this moment, at least, he began thinking in the right direction.
Jaden on the other hand reacted almost instantly after her he noticed the car being compressed. At this moment, he felt within his body that there was a strange force that was currently surrounding the car.
Jaden was not sure about this feeling that he was getting from within his body, but he believed that maybe it was related to his genes that had currently been activated and gained an ability.
At this moment, as Jaden looked around the car, he noticed that there was something like an almost invisible mist that was surrounding the car. It was this mist that was currently compressing the car, wanting to crush the two of them inside the car.
Jaden reacted, going ahead and using his telekinesis ability. It was also at this moment that he realized that the moment that he activated his ability, it was as if there was mist that came from his body.
This mist spread within the car, and began applying pressure from inside. With that, it began resisting the pressure that was being applied from outside, preventing the car from being compressed and crushing the two of them inside the car.
Jaden suddenly noticed something. It felt that the pressure that was being applied from outside was not as strong as his own. It felt that if he wanted, he could easily destroy the car, by just using his ability and dismissing the pressure that was from outside.
But Jaden did not do that. Instead, he maintained the balance between the two pressures, making sure that the car was no longer being deformed.
And when John noticed that the car was no longer being compressed, he was finally relieved. It was just that he was slightly shocked, and was taking quite a while to be able to regain his composure.
He looked at Jaden, only to realize that all this while, Jaden had been calm. He was still sitting there as if nothing was happening. Could it be that Jaden had already anticipated something like this to happen?
Did he already know that the pressure was going to be applied for quite a while before it disappeared? Just what kind of sense was that? How was he able to anticipate something like that?
As many questions continued whirling within John's mind, Jaden's eyes suddenly squinted. At this moment, he felt that the sense of danger that he had been feeling before had already disappeared. It actually disappeared the moment that he activated his telekinesis ability to resist the car from being compressed.
Currently, Jaden could tell that whoever it was that was currently attacking was actually a mutant. That was the reason why they were being attacked, and it was clear that whoever it was that was attacking possessed the telekinesis ability as well.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, the two of them heard the sound of something hitting the ground heavily approaching them. It was as if there was a giant that was walking towards them.
With Jaden's sharp sense of hearing, he could already tell the direction that the sound was coming from. He looked outside the window of the driver's seat where he was currently at, and realized that there was a figure that was coming over.
Considering that it was my time, Jaden was not able to make out the appearance of the other party. Even though his sense of sight had been improved, it was not to the extent that he could see in the dark.
It was just that he could currently make out the frame of a person coming over. This person was quite bulky, and tall, about 2.1 meters tall. And, the sound of heavy footsteps was coming from this person.
