Chapter 110: Monster Transformation
Anger surged through him, but he quickly forced himself to calm down. He knew this was his one and only chance to eliminate Zack. Failure wasn't an option—not if he wanted to stay in the good graces of the organization. "Moon Shadow! Take your team and kill him!" Black Hand barked, glaring at Zack, who stood protected by the two fearless warriors.
As soon as the words left his mouth, three figures appeared out of nowhere. It was Lillian, the muscular man Verrick, and the Neon Warrior who had previously been injured by Zack's palm cannon. "Shadow, take Verrick and handle the target," Lillian said coldly, barely sparing a glance at Zack on the mountaintop.
"Understood!" the Neon Warrior replied sharply, grabbing Verrick's arm. The two vanished again, using their stealth abilities.
But stealth wasn't perfect. As they moved, faint footprints appeared in the dirt—a telltale sign of their approach. "Team Two! Team Three!" Black Hand shouted into his communicator, his mechanical voice cutting through the tension.
"Don't attack their base yet. Redirect to Bear Mountain and eliminate the target immediately!" Despite the electromagnetic interference, Black Hand's communicator was still functional.
On the mountain, Zack noticed the pair disappear and reappear briefly near Black Hand. He understood their strategy instantly. From the moment Zack was injected with the serum, his strength had been growing steadily. Combined with the power of the nanosuit, his overall capabilities had now reached a level about 12 times that of an ordinary person.
To put it into perspective, even the fearless warriors were only about 8 to 9 times stronger than the average human. "Ego, launch the nanosuit here with a missile. I'm going to need it for this fight," Zack ordered.
Despite his already impressive abilities, Zack preferred caution. Wearing the nanosuit would ensure he was ready for whatever came next.
NYC. Southwest and south of the city, two convoys were moving through the streets. Each was loaded with black-clad soldiers and super soldiers, heading as planned toward NYC City's industrial zone and Zack's base camp—Tribeca.
