Chapter 32 - Genotype

- Shots! Have you heard the shots ?! - came from the landing

- "Fuck!" - Jack exclaimed to himself and began urgently reloading Glock.

Then he quickly walked to the corner and looked out and pointed the trunk to the landing.

He heard men's screams and footfalls as gangsters climbed to his floor.

The unabated heart beat loudly, almost blocking the ears.

His eyes looked tensely at the stairs, on which the gangsters were to appear in a few seconds.

From the tension, several small capillaries burst in the eyes.

The finger on the trigger trembled and he had to control it with concentration so as not to make an accidental shot.

Seconds and two gangsters in black clothes appeared on the stairs. These were the same two goats who had dragged him into the car.

- Heck! - exclaimed the brown-haired man, seeing how from around the corner their once abducted was aiming at them from a pistol.

Jack's pupils narrowed as they saw the target. The guy didn't give two gangsters a chance. His finger began to quickly pull the trigger, causing the pistol to quickly spit out deadly pieces of metal at the abuser.

* BOOM * * BOOM * * BOOM * * BOOM * * BOOM * * BOOM * * BOOM * * BOOM * * BOOM * * BOOM *

Ten consecutive shots knocked down two gangsters. A couple of bullets flew into the milk as the others hit their targets. The bodies of gangsters were mainly hit, but one bullet still hit one in the head.

Two bulky bodies tumbled backward and rolled down the stairs.

- Tao! Chris! Damn you! - I heard from below

Realizing that the remaining gangsters were unlikely to trample right now, Jack began to reload the second pistol.

At this time, he mentally gave the command - "Assignments."

Jack was sure the two were dead, but he could play it safe. Plus there was a chance that the one who didn't get shot in the face wore a bulletproof vest and survived.

- "So. So far so good. " - Jack licked dry lips nervously and quickly breathing

Looking out sharply and looking up the stairs, he realized that the gangsters were not going to go to him. It is correct, there is only one way out, through them.

His body shook with adrenaline as he tried to figure out what to do.

At that moment, he heard someone quietly trying to climb the stairs.

Aiming again in advance, he began to wait.

Soon, the upper part of the man's body appeared on the stairs, who was also at the ready.

Jack immediately started shooting.

* BOOM * * BOOM * ...

Two bullets hit the bandit's body, but he stubbornly aimed his pistol at Jack and fired, before falling back and sliding down the stairs.

- "Fuck!" - Jack shouted mentally, feeling a fierce pain in his shoulder. His jaw clenched to a crunch, and several tears spilled out of his eyes.

Burning, pulling pain, as if someone were drilling a hole in the flesh.

Jack glanced at his left shoulder to see the bullet mark that passed in passing, drilling a small groove in his shoulder. The bone was not hurt he got off lightly yet.

However, this did not diminish the agony he was experiencing.

Jack felt that the world began to spin around. He felt that a little more and he would pass out.

- "You can't ... You can't, you can't, you can't!" - in panic, he shouted to himself and bit his lip to blood

It seemed to help a little and sober him up. Remaining conscious was far from a small matter, because even Revi, having received a bullet, would have passed out, most likely from a painful shock.

Limit Reached!

Will [11 → 12]

Ignoring the warning, swaying slightly, Jack walked to the window.

He was sick. Bitter bile rose to his mouth, but there was no time to vomit, and therefore he swallowed everything back, trying to keep everything in himself.

- "Minibus. They came on it. " - Jack thought, seeing a parked gangster car under the windows of the hall.

Jaw clenched, he decisively opened the window and threw his leg out.

- "Interesting." - Gunter smiled supportively - "Do you want to escape? It remains to kill only one and the task will be completed, and you will have the reward. You will not kill the latter, you will not get anything but points for the murders themselves. "

- "I don't care." - Jack answered him resolutely, trying not to move the affected hand - "I'm already wounded. Getting even more mutilated is not in my plans ... My life is worth more than those fucking six hundred points. "

Crouching on the window sill, Jack aimed and plucked up the courage to jump onto the minibus.

O'Dim shrugged. "Who knows. Those six hundred points would be very useful to you. You could immediately complete your task and get a clear-minded pill for Hiro. In addition, you seem to have forgotten that these guys were leaving for another prisoner, which means that somewhere near there must be a new kidnapped Balalaika man ... "

Jack froze for a few seconds. O'Dim's words made sense. He almost completed the task. Yes, he was wounded, but there was only one enemy left ... Isn't it a shame to surrender at the very finish line? Moreover, there is an opportunity to help a Balalaika person. Was it worth the risk? Do I have to run like a rat now?

Jack found the answer for himself when he automatically wanted to wipe the blood that was coming from the bitten lip with his left hand.

The agony was not long in coming and quickly overtook his mind, making him sway and almost fall.

Cold sweat broke out on Jack's forehead as he clenched his jaw. "I'm not a hero or a terminator. I want to help, I want to take the risk, but this is more than unreasonable. Everyone should know their limits. "

- "Reasonable." - Gunther nodded slightly - "So you are giving up the assignment?"

- "Yes."

//

Quest "The Wrong One was Attacked" Failed!

//

- "... is that all? Is it that simple? "

- "So simple." - O'Dim shrugged his shoulders - "Thought there would be a punishment for the failure of the assignment?"

- "I was expecting something like that, let's just say."

- "Well, as you can see, nothing like that." - Gunter chuckled

Jack shook his head and after sitting for a few more seconds, sighed and jumped resolutely down.

With a crash, he landed with his feet on the roof of the car and fell head over heels off it.

- Fuck. - through clenched teeth he moaned in pain, falling directly on the wounded shoulder

However, there was no time to rest.

He quickly drew his pistol and pointed it at the cabin of the minibus. From the top, it was not visible whether the last gangster was the driver that stayed in the car or not.

As it turned out, no. The car was empty. Neither the driver nor the alleged second abducted person was present.

And yet Jack, with extreme caution, ran quickly down the street, his eyes looking for a taxi.

After fifty meters, he bumped into it.

- Hotel "Moscow. - Jack said quickly, sitting down in the passenger seat

- Five bucks. - said the elderly taxi driver

- Okay, touch.

- Yeah. - the man answered him and looked at the guy's shoulder - Listen, I just washed the salon yesterday ...

Jack immediately came to his senses. Looking at his shoulder, he saw blood flowing from the damaged flesh. - Listen, there is no first aid kit?

- Sorry guy, but no. - the taxi driver shook his head

- It's a pity.

With a quick, swift movement, Jack tore off some more fabric from his shirt and tied it around his shoulder. - "Enough for the first time." - tying the knot, he sighed

Then, remembering that he should have accumulated a good amount of evil points, he mentally said - "Status."

- "Now I need vitality." - Jack immediately decided and mentally increased this line by two units

The Evil Points quickly dropped to thirty points.

Mystical energy spilled over Jack's body again, bringing his body into full order. Except for a recent injury, all of his illnesses have been cured.

Now it was safe to say that Jack was completely healthy, except for the injury, which, under the influence of mystical energy, had already stopped bleeding.

Ten points of vitality are the absolute human standard for a healthy person, however, besides Jack, no one on this planet had such an indicator of vitality.

Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Perception, and even Will. All these traits can be trained and increased over time, but Vitality cannot be trained without some unique abilities, and over time it only decreases in ordinary people.

For them in this world, the only chance to get ten vitality is to be born healthy, but no one is born healthy.

So what happened to Jack when he acquired these cherished ten units?

Its appearance has changed, but not much. It's just that everyone who looks at him will see a young handsome guy, full of life and energy.

Of course, beauty is expressed differently for everyone, but objectively it is believed that it is invariably associated with health.

Together with the Body of the Devil, it has almost become a wet dream of a large circle of ladies, it remains only to grow thin and it's in the bag.

But of course, the main changes did not take place in his appearance, but in his body. Muscles, organs, bones. Everything became perfectly healthy, but was it the most incredible? No.

The most incredible thing was that his genes were rewritten.

Jack's genotype has disappeared 'errors' 'that have accumulated over the entire process of human evolution. His body and genes have become perfect.
