Chapter 427: More Changes
While the mutants from the government were trying to find the information about Jaden's location, the others that had been assigned to assist with the issue of dealing with the new mutants were facing a problem of their own.
A few of the mutants that they had encountered were easy to deal with, but it was quite difficult for them to be able to deal with others, considering that others had abilities that they had never even heard of.
Due to the fact that they did not know about it, they were attacked even before knowing of a method that they could use in order to counter the abilities.
But, even for just a single mutant, they had no other choice but to attack, at least two versus one. In a one versus one situation, they were not capable of dealing with any mutant at all. And that was just when they were dealing with the weaker mutants.
As for the strong mutants, they had to attack together. A combination of five or more mutants against one, and that was when they could achieve success. But in other occasions, even the five mutants would be eliminated.
As for those new mutants that had just broken out of the facilities that they were being held for further observation, they were agitated. That was especially after they came to realize that they were not the only ones that had special abilities.
And it seemed that this group that had come to deal with them was more organized, implying that they had been present way longer than themselves.
Some of them decided to give in, but others did not want to. So, for those that did not agree, they immediately began fighting back. None of them wanted to be controlled, especially considering that they had gained so much power.
Others that had decided to give in what given an option of joining the government. And after understanding the benefits that would come, they decided to join them.
And with the situation where mutants could be seen fighting everywhere, it was obviously impossible to put under wraps the fact that mutants existed within this world.
Additionally, many people immediately understood that by being exposed to the rain, they would be able to gain those abilities. So, people began ignoring the advice from the government for them to stay away from the rain, and began getting exposed to the rain.
With so many people passing out after being exposed to the rain, the hospitals were once again filled with patients. Of course, it was impossible for them to be able to accommodate all the patients, and so, others had no other choice but to be taken care of by their family members back at home.
As for others, they ended up passing out, lying out in the rain for several days without anyone to take care of them. For those unlucky ones, they stayed within the same area for several days, but for others, they were lucky enough to be rescued by some people who ended up passing by.
The situation within the entire world was changing, especially considering that the number of mutants kept on increasing as days went on. And, with people understanding that they could gain abilities after exposing themselves to the rain, they proactively did that.
As expected, the advantage that the police and the other military units had of having weapons had been nullified with the presence of different abilities. And with that, the government had no other choice but to have the soldiers and the police officers to expose themselves to the rain.
With that, they would be able to gain the abilities that would allow them to be able to combat those mutants that were running rampant within the nation, causing chaos wherever they went.
But that was something that was going to take quite a while, and the chaos would not wait for them.
Many people had ended up suffering, from robbery, abuse and many more. Several buildings had been demolished, with many people that were within or around being affected.
Other people would blatantly try their abilities out within the center of a city, leading to many people being affected. And considering that at that time, not many people had become mutants yet, many people were just ordinary, who would not resist, ending up dying.
The nationalism borders had already been ignored. People were moving around from one nation to another, as they tried to find an advantage that they could take.
For those that wanted benefits, they would visit a nation but had what they wanted. As for others, they moved to other nations, in order to escape the situation in their own nations.
Many of the government officials had been killed, especially by those people that had gained abilities, and did not like them. The security that those government officials had, having weapons such as guns, were almost useless to the mutants.
It might be true that some of the mutants did not have the ability of resisting the guns, but others had that ability. And they were the ones that were leading the charge, with the others following behind them as support.
In just a matter of a few days, the situation within the world escalated, with many fights occurring all over the world. The number of mutants had already increased, with more than half of the entire population of the world being mutants.
For Nazu nation, those mutants that had been sent in order to deal with the attacks from the new mutants had no other choice but to retreat. After all, they had ended up encountering some mutants that were stronger than themselves by a huge margin.
As for those that were looking for Jaden, they did not end up finding him. Even though they had gotten the information that he had been working as a bodyguard within the Roberts family, they could not find any trace of him.
As for John, his current whereabouts were completely unknown. The last place that he had been seen was within the central province, when he and the other members of the eagle team had been summoned, in order to undergo the experiment that would turn them into mutants.
But ever since that project can be canceled, John and Jaden seemed to have vanished. As the other members of the eagle team, when they were asked about where Jaden and John were, they said that they did not know.
But still, the government noticed one thing. That was the fact that it seemed that the members of the eagle team possessed strong abilities. Each and every one of them could be considered as an elite during the time that mutants could only be found within this nation.
At that point, they understood one thing. It seemed that it was true, that Jaden and his late parents were involved with the current phenomena that was happening within the world.
Regardless of if it was directly or indirectly, they understood that Jaden definitely possessed the information about the current situation, and how to deal with it. It was just that it had been proved impossible for them to be able to find Jaden.
Additionally, they had received a message from the members of the eagle team. It was a message from Jaden, informing them that they should stop looking for him, but instead, they should form a force of their own.
They were supposed to completely forget about the issue of nationalism, and government. But instead, they should just create a small force of their own, in order to face the current situation.
After all, with the appearance of many mutants, it was inevitable that people from different nations might end up attacking Nazu. Well, it was not as if Nazu was an enemy of the other nations, but it was not possible for them not to have any enemies out there.
And that was something that really happened several days later. People from different nations, having their own abilities, actually arrived into Nazu nation.
The moment that they arrived, they began running rampant. But of course, the people within this nation were not just going to allow some people to attack them. They also began resisting.
This was something that led to another round of war. The number of deaths was obviously high, with each day having people dying in thousands or even in tens of thousands.
But as the fights all over the world went on, different mutants realized something. That was the fact that the longer that they used the abilities that they had, the stronger they became.
And that was something that fueled another round of war, with many people proactively looking for people to fight. They wanted to see their own abilities growing, and so, they attack others.
The entire world had been turned, leading to a situation where only the strong could survive. As for those that possessed weak abilities, or non-combat abilities, they ended up hiding.
That was when the establishment of several strongholds began. Humans were actually hiding from other humans. And at this point, the rain that was relentless was still falling.
But one month after, the rain that had been relentlessly falling finally stopped. But just as the people were feeling slightly relieved, another thing happened, sending many people into further despair.
