The shadow spirit gave him a thumbs up and said, "You are good to go."
He nodded and put the ballistic shield in front of him. Then he stepped out of the elevator. He came face-to-face with 10 sentry guns. Each one had four 1.5-meter barrels capable of shooting 60g 12x99mm rounds at 900 meters per second and at a rate of 1500 of such rounds per minute.
This was to be the first test. If he can't get past these guys, he can forget about entering the human farm or even leaving.
The elevator closed behind him with a swish. Then the system controlling the turrets scanned him and identified him as an intruder. They didn't ask him to leave immediately. Instead, they opened fire directly.
The small room he was in became loud with gunfire immediately as heavy bullets sailed through the air and smashed into his shield. They formed a wall of force that prevented him from going forward. In fact, they were pushing him back.
He was so light that they could lift him off his feet with just the force of the collision. If he were a weaker man, he wouldn't be able to hold the shield. He would be pressed up to the door behind him and crushed to paste by the force pushing the shield.
If he were stronger, he would be able to hold on for a while until the shield gives out. Only then will the buckles tear through his body.
But he was not a weak man. The force pushing him was absorbed and stored in his body very quickly. Then he began converting the force to strength and speed.
The more the bullets impacted his shield, the faster he became. So he was able to cross the 20 meter space in less than ten seconds and gain access to the door.
Unfortunately, the challenge was not over. The guns facing him were attached to the wall in front of him, so they couldn't shoot at him this close to the door. But this opened him to fire from the guns attached to the left side.
This gun began shooting at him immediately. They were as powerful as the front-facing ones, so they began pushing him to the right wall, where spikes were waiting.
He had to stand his ground in order to open the door, and not he impaled on the spikes. He had to do that as the flame throwers attached to the roof of the room ignited and poured down fire from above. Then he has to be careful of the ground as it has been electrified.
So there were bullets, fire, and electricity looking for any chance to end his life. He was surrounded, but he remained calm as he attached a bomb to the door. Then he had to decide if he would step back from the door to avoid the explosion or continue standing close to it.
If he stands back, the front-facing guns will start up again. They will combine with the fire from the top and wall of bullets from the left to push him to the ground.
Fire might not be able to kill him instantly, but electricity is still capable of frying him if he makes contact with the ground with his flesh. So he decided to stand his ground.
He placed the ballistic shield by his left side to block the gun fire from that side. That took care of the point blank damage, but not the pressure pushing him and certainly not the explosion that is going to go off right in his face soon.
Not only does he have to make sure that the explosion doesn't kill him, he has to make sure that it won't push him back into the shooting range of the front facing guns. So he had to stand his ground while fire poured down from above.
Fortunately, he was wearing fire-resistant clothes and shoes. They didn't burn and let the soles of his feet touch the ground. He is counting on them now not catch fire when he bomb goes off.
The bomb went off 10 seconds later. He had his eyes closed when it happened. It was to protect his vision and prevent himself from being stunned.
As for the explosion, it didn't do much apart from raise the force storage in his body. It made him understand why Zain had smirked when he had thrown a grenade at him.
Unlike Zain, he came out of the explosion completely unscathed. There wasn't even a scratch on him. So he felt that he was entitled to a smirk of derision too.
The only problem he had with his situation was that his body temperature was going beyond what he could withstand. So he quickly went through the blasted door to the next room.
He found a lot of people waiting for him there. There were 11 of them, and they all had guns. All those guns were pointed at him too, but they didn't appear threatening because some of them were shaking in fear.
The fact that he was glowing red hot and still alive made them lack confidence in the might of their guns. Not even the fact the guns have been enhanced by their boss made them come confident.
Kelvin looked them over one by one as he discharged the heat in his body. He recognized some of them as nulls and amplifiers. However, he didn't see their boss. But he didn't mind her absence.
He removed a gun from the compartment behind the ballistic shield and pointed it at them. The gun heated up due to the heat from his body. He was that hot.
His actions set off the guards. They began shooting at him to kill him. Bullets flew everywhere in seconds. Some penetrated the obstacles they met in their path and some of them simply bounced off the obstacles.
The ones that bounced off did so when they met Kelvin's body. He didn't even bother to use the shield to protect himself from this. No matter how the bullets curved and flew in the air to strike his sides and back, they did no damage.
