Rudolf ran with all his strength, he carried Heiss's body, looked in all directions.
There were several Railguns in the open space, they used one to remove the chip, now they had turned them on and loaded them to full power removing the limiter that prevented them from overcharging.
The first cracks in the ceiling had been from explosives that detonated in the support columns and weak points of the area, enough to move the upper crust where the troops were and distract them for a moment, but not so careless as to bring down all the infrastructure.
When the Railguns finished overheating, they would explode with all the weaponry inside, the explosives would blow everything in a large radius.
He quickly loaded the body onto a cargo cart, its maximum speed was 80 kilometers per hour, but for the place they wanted to reach that speed was barely acceptable.
He drove until he reached far into the south area, it was likely that in 1 or 2 minutes the explosion would occur.
The end of the tunnel was already considered apart from the traffickers' barracks, however, they wouldn't know how big the explosion would be.
Just at that moment he met the others at the exit, beyond his distance was an enormous swamp in length and short in width.
His three subordinates ran with a black bag to put the bodies when they leave this world, similar to those used in crime scenes.
"¡Let's run, we're on top of time!"
Between the four of them they carried the body, Caleb and the others carried different sealed suitcases.
They were on alert, they still didn't fully know what the explosion was, they didn't have all the information on how they were going to escape.
"¡Don't just stand there and run to the swamp now!"
They immediately ran upon hearing Lucius shout startled, they had barely had time to make preparations, and they just ran from one side to the other bringing materials that would go in the suitcase.
30 meters away when something lit up in the distance.
"¡DON'T LOOK, KEEP RUNNING!"
Lucius shouted and insisted that they hurry.
The light rose even more several meters high, at one point it looked as if it contained itself for a moment, nevertheless, it expanded at a terrifying speed, sending a shockwave that spread throughout the area at a terrifying speed.
At that moment, everyone was already in the swamp.
"¡SUBMERGE YOURSELVES!"
Without hesitation, everyone threw themselves into the water without caring what was below, Rudolf grabbed the body and threw himself without caring about anything else.
The shockwave devastated the surrounding jungle, destroying all the trees in the region, the internal radius was incinerated by flames that seemed to contain life of their own, the rest was carried away by the explosion.
The jungle may have cushioned the shockwave, but much of it had been deforested by the traffickers, and exposing yourself to that gust was asking to be sent to God, if it was either it could send you flying or just the same thrust could kill you.
Finally, as if they felt they were spending an eternity down there, they lifted their heads and came out of the water, covered in mud and algae.
The south exit tunnel had collapsed, the tall trees of the swamp seemed shaken and a little bent, but they wouldn't fall on them.
They looked at each other to see if anyone was missing, Rudolf was already carrying Heiss's body on his back.
"It's better we move" he said while advancing with the body on his shoulders.
When he reached the shore, he carefully set the body on the ground and began to open the waterproof bag.
"You, the one with purple hair, give me the suitcase"
"My name is Emily"
"Whatever, if you want to help, open the suitcase and look for the syringe called Cellaris and the other called Oxia-7"
Doing what he said with a grimace on his face, she opened the backpack that was lined in plastic and handed him the backpack.
"You, the dark-skinned one, in your bag there's a NeonCure Mk-II, take it out carefully"
Caleb's team didn't understand what he was doing, he was dead, he couldn't come back to life no matter how much they wanted to.
"Also you little white guy, in your backpack there's a portable resuscitator, take it out quickly"
Everyone mobilized taking things out, Jesús and Marcus helped clean Heiss's wounds while Lucius pulled out a needle with thread from one of the suitcases, several things they grabbed while leaving through the south exit, they already knew where they were, therefore, they just had to run for things quickly.
Before, they didn't have time to go for them because they were installing bombs all over the barracks. So they had to do the search by the cameras and remembering where they kept the medical equipment, some were among the weapons while others were in the operating room.
The shelter had a mini operating room in case someone got hurt, nothing very big, just necessary equipment, but several had been obtained for the coming war.
Rudolf took the Oxia-7 syringe and applied it directly to the heart, removing it once he had applied it, he proceeds to do cardiac massages in the area.
At that moment, they had already closed the wound on the neck and abdomen with thread in the quickest way possible.
The abdomen was wrapped with gauze and tape around the side.
Cloe was stunned by the way they worked, a part of her felt disgusted by the idea of playing with the body of someone already dead, but deep down a minimal hope ignited, ridiculous, yes, and yet she prayed for it to be possible, even if she had no God to pray to, just to the existence that would hear her, that was enough.
"You, the pale one, give him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation"
Cloe raised her finger at her, wondering if she meant her.
"¡Yes, you, quickly!"
Not knowing what to do, she just did what she was ordered.
The others didn't know whether to make that group of lunatics stop, because, how can you bring someone back from death after being pierced by a bar and having their throat cut.
'Not even Gabriel could do something in this case', was Caleb's thought.
Despite everything, no one from the team moved, they had a feeling that they knew what they were doing, or at least it was something they had already planned.
Approaching the body, Cloe removes the mask from Heiss's face.
A boy with dull black hair, dry skin, damaged, pale, face almost solemn, it was as if he was still waiting for something, he looked at his red lips that were cracked and a little blue.
Without hesitation, she began to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Gripping with force, Rudolf continued pressing his heart, hoping to pump the medicine through the heart.
"The NeonCure Mk-II", approaching, Ethan without being asked began to connect the machine to Heiss's chest.
This was a machine that came out a few years ago where it first sends a discharge to the heart, then with the patches directing brief spasms to move the heart if there is no response in the first 5 seconds.
It also has a needle shape for fixed insertion, but it was much more dangerous if an experienced doctor didn't do it. For now, they settled for the metal plate.
"¡Clear!", everyone retreated, after a few minutes nothing, they continued with the contractions and mouth-to-mouth breathing.
"¡Clear!" a new discharge fired.
"¡WAA!" in a jump, Heiss leaned forward from a startle.
"Haaa….. haaaa….haaaa", choppy breaths came from his lungs, passed through his nose and vice versa, at a high rhythm, and then lower.
Looking around, he saw his escape group and the already known ones.
At that moment, Rudolf took the syringe with the tape marked Cellaris and with a quick movement drove it into the abdomen, right next to where the bar had pierced him.
"¡AHHH, SHIT, THAT HURTS!"
The syringe was necessary, since he needed to regenerate his wounds, spiraling the abdomen one that had patches like cushioning so he wouldn't bleed out, therefore, he had to act quickly.
That was one of the indications that Heiss had given him.
"¡You couldn't at least have warned me!"
Caleb's team was impressed and stunned, they didn't believe it was possible, but there he was, back in life as if he hadn't fought to survive.
The most surprised was Cloe, who felt as if air returned to her, plus relief, maybe because whoever helped her didn't die, maybe that was it.
"If I hadn't acted, you probably would've gone on another sabbatical"
Rudolf let out those words with sarcasm and with a smile meant to irritate on his face.
But before letting him speak, he interrupted him.
"Welcome back, crazy bastard"
Staring directly at Rudolf, the corner of his lips rose.
Personality #4: "Of course, you wouldn't go without me, you miserable"
