BXBX NOVEL Chapter 318 - Caught
"This place is just too big to search for someone who wants to remain hidden." One of the two floating figure said as they both landed on the ground.
Covering their noses with their hands because of the stink the whole place was giving off.
The second person instantly agreed. "We have being scouring through the entire slums for five days already. There is no way the person would remain at this part of the city without escaping to other parts di the city."
"You are right but since the person dared to kill Beta Nelson a newly emerging Beta and a park member, we have to hunt him down no matter what otherwise other Parks would think we can be easily messed with and escape with it." The first one replied and he brought out a large rounded black object from his back park.
"I heard Beta Cain had grievously injured the person with his powers and from the lingering waves from his attacks, he figured out that the person is still hiding within the slums." The other person said as he casually kicked off a hungry mutated rat chewing at his shoes.
"Is that so? I didn\'t think something like that could be possible. Tracking someone through one\'s own waves left from an attack." he exclaimed as he pushed a button on the Black rounded gadget on his palm.
There was a slight buzzing sound that came out from the gadget and then it suddenly went silent. But if one had a good enough eyes, one would be able to notice the almost invincible waves spreading out from the device and touching every corner within a kilometre radius.
The dump site was already more than a kilometre wide but the waves speeding out from the gadget covered the entire radius of the dump site.
David l was breathing incredibly slowly. And his heart pumped blood slowly too as he prevented it from circulating very fast but not slow enough to kill him self but fast enough to supply the right amount of blood and water his body needed in order not to die.
He remained still like a statue when he suddenly felt something touching all over his skin.
At first, he didn\'t feel it too much but he suddenly friend when he realised he wasn\'t hallucinating due to blood loss.
There really was something crawling over his skin. It was intangible n and even with his dark vision, he couldn\'t find see what it was that had just scanned him.
Suddenly, an idea popped into his head and he frowned as he knew things might get even more troublesome if the scammer was the very accurate kind.
If it was, it wouldn\'t matter if he had slowed his breathing and blood circulation to an almost invisible level, the scammer would still pickup his life signs and identify him as a human.
A few minutes later, the waves retracted back and they were sucked in back into the black rounded device.
The moment it happened, a keeping sound emerged and an holographic image of the entire map appeared in the air above the device.
Several tiny red dots could be seen on the map. Which signified the sighting of lifeforms.
The two stared seriously at the map for a few seconds with scrutiny. It was as though they didn\'t want to miss any single spot.
"There\'s also nothing extraordinary here too. We\'ve wasted our time like we\'ve done in the last few days." The one holding the scanner said as he touched the device, turning the holographic image off.
"Let\'s go." He was about to turn around and fly into the skies once more when his colleague hurriedly stopped him.
"Wait." His eyes were squinted as he faced the one with the device with squinted eyes.
"What? Did you notice something?" The guy with the scanner asked with a confused expression.
"I\'m not sure but turn the scanner back on, it might be nothing, but it\'s best if we confirm." The other guy said.
With a doubtful expression, he pulled out the scanner again and turned the holo projection on.
The entire land mass of a kilometre radius appeared together with countless amounts of red dots.
But these red dots were almost of the same brightness. Theses dots were ignored and the guy pointed at a particular red dot with a slightly more brighter dot.
"This one." He pointed to his other mate.
The one with the scanner stared at the dot with a furrowed brows at first but then, his expression also turned a bit serious.
Because that dot had was increasing and reducing with brightness as the time passes.
"So you think he could be the one." One of them whispered to each other.
"I don\'t think so though. There\'s no way someone who was strong enough to murder Beta Nelson has a life signature that weak." The other argued.
"I know but what if he has some kind of technique to lower his life signature?" The other brought out another convincing point.
The man thought for a moment before he nodded. "Although such techniques are rare and have harsh requirements to practice them, that might also be possible." The man nodded and then turned towards his partner.
"Do you think we should report this to the park and request for backup." The second ma hesitated before he asked.
David who was still buried in the stinky waste couldn\'t control it and his heart lurched in fear and he tightened his fist together.
\'Will I really die here today?\' His eyes was fill of bitterness as he muttered in his heart. Currently, he was incredibly weak and barely had any energy left to walk not to mention fighting.
There was no way he would be able to escape of those two finds him.
"Of course not. Remember the Intel which stated that the target is severely injured. If we report him now, our rewards will not be as much as when we personally capture him ourselves. Moreover, what if it turns out we were mistaken and he actually isn\'t the one in that location." The other without the gadget said, trying to convince his partner to drop the matter about reporting back to the pack.
The man hesitated which was clearly showing on his face. But then he thought, if they were mistaken, they would instantly turn into the laughing stocks of the whole park. That kind of shame isn\'t something easily washed by.
Thinking up or here, he nodded his head in agreement, making his other partner smile widely.
And then, his expression turned serious as he stretched out his hands, making a large shield form in his hands.
"Let\'s go. I will take the front, you support me from behind." The man said back to his partner who nodded back as the plane was a feasible one to him.
They walked slowly towards the location where the red spit was still blinking incredibly slowly. And scoured through the entire dumpster with their eyes acting incredibly cautious.
A few minutes later, David\'s felt his heart jumped out from his throat as he felt something stop right in front of where he buried himself.
He then heard two incredible close voices talking to each other. "I think we are close enough already."
The one at the back said with slight nervousness in his tone.
This made the guy who was in front face him with a stern look. "If you let this fear of yours continue, there\'s no way you will be able to advance to a Beta."
He then snorted softly and his body shook and sounds of bones cracking and popping sounded as he transformed into an almost two meters tall brown wolf.
The one behind him also want the least but slow as he immediately transformed into a brown and black wolf almost the same height as the first.
David gritted his teeth slightly and held himself back from striking first. He still had a last resort but all will be for naught if he didn\'t attack now and the last resort also failed to work.
The brown wolf instantly brandished its claws and immediately sliced through the dirt before him with both if his claws.
Sparks flew through the air as the sharp claw tor apart every obstacles on its way. Even a large metal rod had been torn into countless pieces by the claws.
The brown wolf hurriedly retreated backward after his rampage as he stared at the messy spot in front of him in anticipation.
The brown and black wolf also stared at the hole in expectations and in slight fear.
Suddenly, both wolves eyes opened wide in shock and surprise as they stared at the pool of blood forming in the messy hole formed by claw marks.
"is that it?" The mixed color wolf whispered to the brown wolf.. His expectation growing as he gazed at the pool of blood that continued to rise upward.
