Multi-Gene

The other crew members shook gheir heads in pity for what the students were about to experience.

The lady hesitated, but she steeled herself. It was a command from captain himself anyways, if somehow they gut into trouble, she would just place all the blame on him, simple.

After going through that thought, she leaned to her left, few meters away from the control center. There, a red lever was hanging slantky, almost against the ground.

Touching the lever, she swiftly pulled the lever upwards with her strength.

Bam!

The red lever locked in place and a series of events took place soon after.

Suddenly, David's heart palpatated, his body became slack and his eyes drooped.

He immediately knew things were going bad.

Propelling his blood fiercely, his muscles bulged and his veins popped out. He grabbed a hold of his seat and held onto it tightly.

But if one observed the entirety of the students, one would see that David wasn't the only person who had done this. Several other students had also taken precautions.

In a split second, the resonanting sounds of a siren reverberated through the entire ship and an automated voice suddenly rang out.

"Get ready for the drop, be prepared." The clueless youths glanced at each other, puzzled as to what was going on.

Abruptly, they instantly felt the floor beneath their seats gave out and below their feet was actually just empty air and clouds.

Everyone's mind turned blank in that instant as though they had rehearsed it previously.

Even though some had been warned, their informant actually hadn't told them of the situation which would occur.

David blink his eyes, and but before he could blink them again, he plummeted down from the sky with increasing speed.

Screams of horror rang out as almost all the 200 plus students in the plane shouted out in fear. But the screams were instantly drowned by the sounds of air rushing past them

David felt his heart dropped and It actually skipped a beat which signified how bewildered he was. He knew something was about to happen but he hadn't expected THIS to happen which reminded him of the instructions he had read.

He had been suspicious and was doubtful when he saw the sentence 'Before you drop. ' he knew something was wrong with the sentence but who would have expected it to be true. They were literally dropped from the sky.

Is the Institute's method usually this absurd or is it that the captain had actually gone insane.

Numerous speculations popped out from the students thoughts as they descended towards the ground.

David held on tightly to the seat hold securing his body to the seat and he leaned back. While his body fell, rotating headfirst towards the rapidly advancing earth.

His closed his eyes tightly as his brain rapidly churned. He was thinking about how they were going to survive this disaster but soon after, he frowned. The pain inducing headache was here again but he had concluded that the Institute wouldn't just put all 800 plus students to their deaths.

They must have a few means to keep them alive. Upon coming to this conclusion, David sat back nonchalantly and he indifferently glanced at the other falling students whose body were also spinning while they were busy shouting in alarm and flaying their hand all over the place in panic.

His sight also noticed Phyllida who closed her eyes tightly shut her beautiful lashes trembled incessantly, holding securely her little black box against her chest.

Retracting his gaze, he casually closed his eyes and relaxed, taking in the freshness of the and although it was a little difficult to breath, the atmospheric pressed was a little too much but to the students breathing in that situation was still a n easy feat for them.

As though answering to David's thoughts, a few sounds of machinery rang out and David felt the heavy chair he was still sitting on vibrate in a weird manner.

Rearranging it's components, the seat swiftly formed two omni mini turbo thrusters looking exactly like an aircraft wings by both sides and it immediately activated as two fiery stream of combustable energy blasted out in an overwhelming manner.

When the turbo engine ignited, David felt his entire being rumbled as though he had been forcibly jacked upwards with incredible speed when his original displacement was actually downwards. If it weren't for the fact that he had been circulating his blood round his system, he would definitely be slightly injured by the resultant force.

The solid turbo thrusters blasted off, giving him a massive kick in the back as the engine swirled with flexibility to maintain a stable position.

The pounding exhaust from the twin boosters shook David continuously as he accelerated, ripping through the upper atmosphere under massive pounds of explosive force.

David wasn't the only one to experience such things, the rest of the 200-300 students also had the same experience as their thrusters began to ignite like fireflies in the sky, stabilising their downward momentum.

David was about to wipe off cold sweat on his forehead after he had stablize, currently floating on the air when he suddenly heard his Ai say.

"Emergency airpod had been activated." suddenly, a screen popped up from the arm rest of the seat.

It was the map that had been handed to him by the Institute. It marked the current position he was currently in which was right at the center of the large map with his face on it. Then it also shown the location David had previously marked as his dropped position.

Afterwards, the system had connected both of the dots in a straight line and also showed the distance at which he would need to get to his drop zone.

In the next second, the AI spoke again. "Initializing a connection to the Emergency Airpod…

Initialization completed.

Determining the drop location of the host…

Location determined.

Time taken to get to the drop zone - 00:25:14

Reeady for the take off, please be prepared."

David didn't have the chance to digest to assimilate its meaning when all of a sudden, the turbo thrusters that had been maintaining his stable self in the air stirred slightly to the sides, and then, the turbo output increased exponentially as his figure was been blasted off towards a certain direction with astonishing speed almost marching the terrifying speed of Mach-1(1).

Surprised, David immediately spoke up. "Wait! Hold up!"

"I apologise David, but this is a command instilled by the Institute which directly overrides your authority level. You can not stop its movement now. Unless it drops down at its location." his AI replied in its usual robotic female voice but it held an apologetic tone within.

David frowned upon hearing this and he reprehended. Not able to control the movements of the Emergency Airpod simply means, the students would be unable to make any alterations to the location they had chosen to drop at.

David was slightly disappointed but he had already made his decision, he wouldn't change it.

His pod accelerated with full speed and David had the luxury to view the situations of other students, he relaxed a little when he saw their situation was slightly similar to his.

And he wasn't at all surprised when he saw a little more than a hundred Emergency Pods moving along the location he had selected since it was one of the Low Level Safe Zones available in the entire map.

The region was actually a very large and prosperous city called the Sunset city a few decades ago. It had been a stronghold in itself as the Mayor of the city was a very strong powerhouse.

He had repeatedly resisted the assault of various strong beast in his city and had protected its citizens from those vile Evolved monsters.

At that time, he never collected a single din from the citizens. His only condition was for his people to keep the city clean and the citizens should make ammedents to the city ones there was any shortcomings in the surrounding area.

It was quite the favorable condition for everybody, so why not.

The citizens of the city worshiped him like a God and had accepted him as an overlord.

Several statuses had been placed on various popular sites in the city for both the foreigners from other strongholds and the citizens from their city to admire.

It was a nice place to raise a family at such a peaceful location. That was why the foreigners from other strongholds would choose to settle in, deciding to never leave.

But this drew in jealousy and envy from other strongholds.

Under the span of a single night, the city had been put to ruins as the Rapidly Evolved Beings terrorised the city without leaving out a single child alive.

Unfortunately, the Mayor wasn't available to resist the waves of beast for the people. He had been invited to a banquet by other Mayors. They could only cry out in terror and fear as they were being killed.
