47 Flame Ability

Ryver removed his hands from her pants and once again placed them in her mouth. This time the lady didn't struggle as she tasted herself from his finger, eagerly swirling her tongue on his index and middle finger as her eyes brightened and her face flush from lust.

The body exploration finally came to an end with Ryver withdrawing his fingers from the depth of her mouth.

"Answer the question." Ryver tilted his head calmly as he asked softly. There was nothing stopping him from pulling the trigger. andeven with their little intimate action just now, he could most likely kill her in cold blood. Ryver was a man whose actions couldn't be explained with common sense, he did whatever he wanted, just for the sake of it.

"I'm called Skye. I heard from the survivors you were cold and ruthless, so I came here to take a look! But you turned out to be even more amazing than I expected." Her eyes were burning brightly as she gazed deeply into Ryver's eyes with a burning heat, her intentions were plain to see.

Ryver gazed indifferently at her and then took a step back he retracted the pistol in the process seeing as her body didn't pose much of a threat and from her weak knees, she most likely would want to sit down for a while to calm herself down.

Under the curtain of night, a small, dim glimmer emerged in the distance. It drifted about in the air.

The thick, dark red blood that consistently released its dense putrid odour flowed everywhere around the area encompassed by the firefly's weak lights. The area emanated a strange dismal red-green glow even in places that were relatively darker, lighting up a small region around Magatech. Other than the unbearable stench of blood, flesh, and organs in this place, the most dangerous aspect of this area was the radiation present in the air which seem to be found everywhere.

Within the puddles of accumulated blood pools, pieces of cloth that had long lost their original colours due to radiation, thoroughly soaked human flesh, rotting corpses of humans and some unknown creatures, and all types of filthy things littered the large roads that are now full of massive potholes from the explosion. From time to time, giant rats over a meter in length would emerge from unknown locations, screeching as they rushed past the sewage underneath the ground before disappearing into the darkness again. The enormous rats seemed almost unaffected by the radiation that was strong enough to kill a robust horse. However, pieces of flesh and hair would occasionally fall from the enormous rats' bodies, and upon closer inspection, one would find that some of their flesh was rotting. It seemed like not even the Mutated giant rats were completely unaffected by the radiation.

The flickering light rose several meters before stopping at the very top of a street light. Which then gazed down upon the world in this dark evening. Reflected within those red lights were large buildings left with only their outer shells, houses with half their walls collapsed, and the remains of cars dispersed everywhere.

The gloomy green-red fluorescence could be seen everywhere under the night sky.

What was once considered a city that had been developed for more than thirty years was now considered a ruin in all but a few hours.

A dazzling flame suddenly erupted at the street in front of Megatech not too far away. Sounds of humans speaking could be heard, startling the firefly away.

"What is the situation up there?" On the ground floor of Mega tech, a tactical team of seven people stood at the side of a large older man who had a large cigarette in his mouth as he asked.

"Vera counted about seventeen survivors holing on the top floor, male and female included." One of the seven reported to the captain.

"Any individual with combat training within the group?" The captain sucked in a deep breath of smoke and radiation altogether as he asked.

"She's not sure, but according to her, there might be two with at least basic level of combat amongst the survivors. One is the minister's son while the other is a janitor within the company."

"These are easy pickings captain. Give the order and we will deal with them appropriately after all, it's only the minister's son we were asked to retrieve." One of the female mercenaries grinned, with brightened eyes.

The captain puffed one last smoke before throwing the exhausted cigarette to the ground. "There's no need for that. There might be a few Enhanced among the team for them to have survived that long. Inform Vera, Sting and Hydra to retrieve the minister's son by morning. For now, we go below to retrieve the Nano cell. That is the most important." His words were filled with authority and in as much as the other mercenaries wanted to have their fun, they couldn't disobey the commands of their captain.

Usually, a bunch of mercenaries don't band together to form teams, as they were a bunch of arrogant individuals. But these merceneries seem to fear the one they called captain and from the aura he was exuding, they were right to fear him. His level of strength wasn't one an ordinary human could compare with.

The captain carefully pulled out another large cigarette, his finger unexpectedly start to emit an intense scorching heat, releasing a skitle orange glow emanating from deep within his bones.

Fumes started to rise from the cigarette's butt and with the rapid combustion of energy, fire bloomed!

Whoosh!

The cigarette in his hands blazed and the captain inhaled deeply, retracting his index finger and his thumb, slightly swaying them in the air, the glow faded with the rushing of the wind.

The other Mercenaries were all casual, not the least bit shocked by the fact that their captain had just lit a cigarette in flames with just his finger, a situation that was ludicrous in the previous era. But the awe in their eyes was pretty plain to see.
