Her Rebirth of Retribution
Chapter 92 One Moment In Crisis

She didn't come, right? She should be in safe place right now, listening to birds chirping and breathing in fresh air.

Kallum looked at the reddish grey smoke that covered the sky, comforting himself with these thoughts as the blasts continued outside. "Mr. Kallum! Someone has come to intercept the firearms! They're almost here!"

Kallum immediately became alert again.

"How many people?"

"More than five hundred, but they have a tank and armored cars! They're well prepared!"

A murderous look flashed in Kallum's eyes, "The area in front is a residential area with many houses built close together, we'll go there!"

Julian was most familiar with the grounds, so he quickly replied, "Mr. Kallum, that's not the best route to retreat."

"Who's says we're going to retreat?" Kallum wiped his face, his eyes filled with determination.

He was covered with bloodstains, but once he brought out the arrogant aristocrat in him, it was as if everything was washed off and he became impossible to ignore.

Kallum pointed outside and said seriously, "The newly built research lab is just over there. They might not be coming for us but the hospital instead! We can't let them have their way! If this hospital is destroyed, I don't know how long it will take to rebuild it. So the only way is to trap them in the city area and then kill them all!"

The moment Kallum said the word 'kill', the other hundred odd men were riled up.

"Kill! Kill them all!"

The murderous chants grew louder and louder. There was no mistake in following Kallum. The men had become used to seeing death and had killed a lot of people as well - so they weren't afraid of anything anymore! There was only blood boiling in their bodies with no fear whatsoever.

Calista looked at the map as she walked towards the city area.

It shouldn't be far from where she was. In her previous life, they had built a Level Four research lab here, and that was where she was headed. Only there would she prove to be of tremendous value.

Suddenly a group of people made a dash for the city area. Besides armored vehicles, they also had a tank, and they were shooting clearly in a particular direction. Calista quickly hid in a place out of their line of sight.

From the look of it, these were rebel soldiers. But if rebel soldiers were here instead of being on the front line, something was up.

Calista thought about it for a while, and then followed the soldiers.

There was nobody left in this part of the city, and there were plenty of holes caused by gun fire and bombs. Calista cleverly weaved in between the ruins and suddenly realized that these people were very possibly headed for the hospital!

If they bombed the hospital, then her efforts to get here would be in vain.

But she stopped worrying almost instantly, because she could hear the sound of cross firing - someone was stopping the rebel forces!

Calista breathed a sigh of relief as she remembered that she didn't hear anything about the hospital being destroyed in her previous life. According to her memory, every single doctor that was sent here went back to Chanaea safely, so these rebel troops' attack wasn't going to succeed this time.

The battle outside was fierce, but Calista didn't think that hiding and doing nothing was the best thing to do either, so she hid herself in a dark spot and finally found something she wanted after searching all her pockets.

She didn't just focus on getting here, but she also gathered a lot of information about any special symptoms that infected patients had as well as a record of the reaction they had to her herb concoction.

At the same time, she found some poisonous plants to use as self-defense.

Calista slowly inched closer to the battle, but in order to stay alive, she had to move very slowly. Luckily for her, the two parties were focused on the battle and nobody noticed her. Calista breathed a sigh of relief as she determined the wind direction, and then climbed a low building and hid herself, waiting for a chance to pour the poisonous powder she had down.

The fighting continued and there was some distance between the two parties. The rebel troops were downwind from where Calista was, and as long as there was wind blowing, Calista was sure the powder would work.

The only unfortunate part was that

she didn't have much powder on hand. So even after throwing down more than ten packets, only two armored vehicles and a dozen men were affected. The powder got on their face and hands, first causing a burning sensation, then an

ou

unbearable itch! They were not able to aim as well as before, and when Kallum's side realized there was a problem in the enemy camp, they quickly attacked while they were down.

Those who had the powder on their skin could also pass on the powder if they touched another person's bare skin, and this sudden turn of events drove them into a panic. Their armored car couldn't be used anymore, and Kallum was afraid other rebel soldiers might take it back, so he ordered his men to surround the vehicle and shoot, and the enemy side lost more than a hundred people.

"Someone is helping us!"

Kallum had no time to think who could be helping them. He seized the opportunity to attack harder, and fired a bomb at the enemy's tank, destroying it.

Without the tank and armored cars, the other side was much weaker than before, so Kallum's men quickly launched their attack, and the battle became a one-sided battle.

Calista originally intended to leave after pouring the powder down, but in the midst of the smoke and sand, she suddenly spotted someone!

That person was dressed in a military uniform, his back straight, his sharp jaw out, and his deep purple almond shaped eyes were staring at the enemy aggressively.

He was covered with blood, but his hand was steadily using a weapon to kill the enemy and giving out commands, like an army general!

But Calista knew that man was no general. He was an aristocrat who should have been seated in a classy restaurant, enjoying music, red wine and the praises and admiration of others - but now he was here fighting on the front lines! Calista rubbed her eyes. It was Kallum alright, and it was a Kallum she had never seen before.

But no matter whether he was in a skyscraper office building or at a smoky battle field, he still shone as bright as a diamond.

Calista wanted to call out to him but hesitated. It was definitely a bad idea to interrupt him now, so she quietly made her way to the ground floor and moved nearer to Kallum, waiting for the remaining two hundred odd men to either surrender or die before going over. But suddenly a man rushed out!

He had bombs tied all over his body, and even after being shot at, he still managed several steps forward before collapsing to the ground.

"Hurry up! Move back now!"

There was a loud boom, but

because they had retreated fast and

far enough, Kallum's side was not hurt, just hit by some flying debris. But immediately after that explosion, another two men with bombs tied all over their bodies came running out. Their eyes were bloodshot and they ignited themselves as they headed for Kallum's side, determined to kill themselves along with their enemies.

This time they had managed to come nearer and bombed a gap in Kallum's troops. Kallum quickly ordered the men in front to spread out and the men at the back to cover them. There weren't many soldiers left on the other side, so they could overcome them easily. At first he thought the remaining ones were random soldiers, but after fighting them for a while, he realized these were soldiers who were extremely loyal to the rebel camp!

He had been ambushed like this several times already, but usually after he had killed most of their men or destroyed most of their weapons, any remaining soldiers would surrender. This was the first time he was faced with soldiers willing to die for their cause! Kallum calmly gave orders, not putting his gun down even after his arm was hit by flying debris. He attacked when he could and retreated when necessary, but what he didn't know was that Calista was hiding behind rubble only about ten steps away from him. Calista had trained well since a young age, so her vision and hearing were excellent as a result. It was difficult to see more than ten yards through the sand and thick smoke, but Calista was clearly able to see someone holding a machine gun and ready to shoot in this direction!

The smoke from the gunfire was very thick, so Kallum had no idea that the area in front of him was no longer safe, and Kallum was about to get shot soon! Without thinking, Calista dashed forward, pounced on Kallum and rolled on the ground, narrowly missing the shot that was fired.

Kallum was suddenly pounced on and his body immediately tensed up.

After hearing the sounds of the machine gun, he realized that this person pounced on him to save him. But the strange thing was, this person had a soft, supple and pleasant smelling body, so this couldn't be one of his burly men. Calista looked up and saw Kallum look curiously at her.

She curled her lips into a smile and revealed her pearly whites, then shouting loudly as the explosions continued around them, "Are you happy to see me?"
