65 Chapter 4 : Escape
In Warehouse 23-F, James was standing in front of his spaceship.
"Without my Smart Gear, I can't do anything with that ship. "
James opened the Survival World window and entered the store, scrolling through several items for a short time before he found the item he was looking for.
[Universal Access Key]
[Types: Technology]
[Rank: ☆]
[Price: 3000 PT]
After having proceeded to the purchase of the object a small red digital tablet materialized before James floated.
The object he had just paid for was a universal access key, it should be known that this kind of object was illegal throughout the galaxy, just the possession of this object can cost you 30 years in prison.
In addition to this it was a very rare object because only travellers could get one, the purchase price being high. Rare are the travellers who use their points on an object so little useful for survival, but the selling price on the black market of this object was 2.000.000 USM (equivalent to 20 million dollars).
James retrieved the tablet and turned it on, connected the tablet to the ship's network, waited a few seconds and then the ship opened.
After going inside, James went to the control room, turned on the holographic screen, took the tablet, did some manipulations and the ship turned on.
"Pilot mode activate, destination, state of Fritz, town of Grofield."
"Yes, sir." Said the voice to me mechanically, the ship's engines ignited before it slowly exited the warehouse and flew into the sky.
. . . . . . .
At the same time somewhere on Mars, in the red desert, in a top secret underground base, there was a room containing several human bodies in glass capsules while floating in a greenish liquid, the bodies were connected to machines by hundreds of electrodes, while their health was checked several times every minute by several teams of doctors.
But suddenly four of the capsules opened abruptly as their occupants fell to the ground while coughing.
The doctors ran to them quickly, after a brief check-up the doctors gave them injections and then made them sit down hard from chairs.
A bald, eyebrow-less man wearing sunglasses and a slim body with a stoic facial expression wearing a suit came into the room and looked at the four in front of him.
"Who destroyed your bodies."
Lil Fan says with difficulty.
"Captain, this is the target that the Inspector General of Section 925 is looking for, according to the information we received he turned 18 a short time ago, he must have been only a traveler of rank one star, when we met him he was indeed a traveler of rank one star, but after a few hours, he killed us instantly, his strength increased to at least that of a traveler of rank two star."
Lois, brothers Kosyak and Uglitsky were still in a state of semi brain dead, only Lin Fan was awake.
The Mars-925 brigade was the government's special intervention force against travelers, it was independent of any office and worked directly under the orders of the central government, so that it could act anywhere on the planet.
Each member of the brigade had a clone in each city of Mars, they could all download their minds into the clone body of their choice and intervene anywhere and at any time.
"What you're telling me is not possible unless this young man is crazy enough to enter several worlds in succession."
"Captain authorized me to find the target with my real body." Says Lin Fan with a serious facial expression.
"Lin Fan in 30 years of service you've never disappointed me, I hope you won't disappoint me today, all four of you have permission to intervene with your real bodies, but don't forget you are government property, if you die again, I'll be forced to turn you into an automaton."
"Yes, Captain." Says Lin Fan in a deep voice.
. . . . . . .
Planet Hill, Iylistin State, City of Kord, St. Denis Hospital.
In one room a charming woman in her early thirties with short black hair was sitting opposite a man wearing a doctor's coat.
The man looked at her for a moment before breathing a deep sigh of impotence.
"Miss Trisha, although you've managed to raise the money for your wife's operation, I have to tell you the truth, even if we repair every single one of these cells, she may never wake up."
Hearing this she suddenly took the doctor's collar in front of her and said angrily.
"What rubbish are you talking to me about, you told me you can cure her! So go and fix her or I promise to kill everyone in this hospital!"
The doctor, sensing Trisha's superhuman strength, was frightened and then said with fear.
"Miss Trisha calm down, actually it's not our fault, with today's technology all physical illnesses are easy to cure but your wife's illness is not physical."
"Explain yourself!" She says as she lifts the doctor up with her arm.
"Her illness is supernatural, none of the treatments we've tried are working, the only solution would be to call in a traveler."
She then released the neck of the doctor who fell to the ground while coughing.
The doctor looked at her with fear and said in a guilty tone.
"I'm sorry for giving you false hope."
Trisha turned and walked out of the doctor's office into the long bright corridor of the hospital with an empty expression.
She stopped in front of a room door for a brief moment before going inside.
In the room, there was a young Asian woman with long black hair, a pale face lying on a bed with an breathing machine.
She sat down on a chair and looked at the young woman who was sleeping peacefully as tears fell from her eyes.
"Jung, I don't know what to do anymore, I feel lost without you."
She continued crying for a while and then kissed the young woman, caressed her face before leaving the room.
But as she walked through the hospital's Reception Hall, she suddenly stopped and saw the image of a familiar person on the HTV hanging on the wall.
"Currently on Mars a dangerous terrorist by the name of James Art is being actively sought by police, the terrorist is apparently an extremely dangerous traveler, today the price of the USM has fallen slightly...."
Trisha was silent for a while, then turned on her Smart Gear and made some movement with her fingers.
"Hi Kanimir, remember that favor you owe me? It's time to pay me back..."
