NOVEL WEB Chapter 7: New quest
I was in the training room, running on the treadmill, as in the words of Marc, if you can't out-run a gun, then you're useless.
It had been some time since the negotiation, and the TV was granted, but no outside contact was allowed, so no YouTube.
I got off the treadmill.
'That's a new record,' said Steven, as he was very good at motivation.
"Thanks, Steven" I replied as he was slightly better at motivating than Khounsu and Marc.
I was going into my room as before, I could sit down, and I heard a ding.

I was shocked as I didn't think a containment breach would happen this early.
Before I could accept everything went red.
Lights blaring and the alarm causing hearing problems for many I assume.
I quickly press yes accepting it as quickly as possible.
"Marc, how do I get a suit like you?" I said as I need a way to protect myself even with the regeneration.
'Just will it too, that's how I do it,' Marc said as if it was like breathing.
I focused on trying to do what he said.
Suddenly I felt something wrapping around me.
Armor appeared on my body.
It looked like Marc's, except it was seemingly trying to emulate the dark side of the moon.

"Wow this is cool" I said as this shit was cool as hell.
"Ok, first let's get out of this room," I said before going up to the door.
(3rd person pov)
Brian touched the door and it shrank, breaking the hinges as it got smaller.
As soon as the door was out of the way he ran toward the glass separating the but before he ran into it the ground turned to a liquid as he fell he began to swim through it as he had pictured this in his mind several times but not to leave but to capture he wanted to help the foundation as they may have imprisoned him but he can get anything he wants as long as he doesn't mess with the outside world.
He surfaced on the other side, and as he did, he said nothing, focusing on the task at hand as he turned the ground back to stone.
The next door he just punched down with the force of a gorilla and it was sent flying.
He ran out of the room using his Animate abilities on random items and making them float around him in a protective stance.
He ran down the hallway as he saw researchers running past him, and when they saw him, they panicked more.
I then sensed a familiar thread of connection it was Dr.Symtry.
She was exuding fear.
I tried to sense her to find her location as they had grown, if only slightly, closer than the random researchers running past him.
He found that her connection was faint, but he located her; she had several bullet wounds.
"Doctor!!" he said as he went to her.
**New Side-Quest detected**
Mission: save Doctor Symtry from death

'Damn it I don't have a choice he thought.
He tried to use greater restoration but it wouldn't work because the bullets are still in the Body and greater restoration won't heal in this instance if there was a object in the way as to prevent further harm such as infection.
He the got an Idea as he made her pass out with his thread Manipulation.
He then proceeded to use the items floating around him he used his mana to imbue a small surgical knife with his greater restoration so the wound can heal faster when the bullet if being removed.
As he grabbed it he was hoping he didn't mess this up.
He began to open the wound and used one of the items he picked up, a pair of tweezers, to try and grab the bullet he barely got a hold of it but removed it successfully and move on the the other ones.
It took him about fifteen minutes as the bullets were tiny and he was no surgeon.
She had lost a large amount of blood so he sealed the wounds and commanded the other objects to float beside her the 8 of them as he had exhausted the mana in the other 2.
He than ran out to stop whoever was causing this.
As soon as he left the room he saw them, he recognized them, the chaos insurgency one of the big annoyances of the foundation.
"Target spotted deploying tranqs" one of them said apparently they were here for him.
They fired but due to Marc's training he just barely dodged it.
He then followed up by diving into the ground which had Turned into a liquid.
"Wtf when could he do that that wasn't on his filed" they said panic.
The guy who wa speaking suddenly disappeared as a drop of blood took his place.
Then he popped out of the ground with a gun seemingly made with his creation ability it had some sort of glow to it.
It fired before they could fully turn and 3 men dropped dead, only 4 left.
"How did it peirce the armor" a man shouted in fear before he felt something driving from his head.
It was red and he felt something he pulled it out of his skull, a pen, he dropped dead on the spot.
3 left.
The final 3 began to sink they were out of ammo and couldn't attack so they accepted it and slowly sank and Brian turned it back to stone.
He saw a hole in the wall freedom at his finger tips but he said no as he had nothing for him out there.
He created a wall to patch the hole and began to walk back to his cell as the system chimed.

After reading this he went and grabbed the doctor and brought her toward the hospital wing as a sign pointed where to go.
When he got there he set her on the bed and used the emergency call button to try and get help.
As he waited knowing she would live he slowly fell asleep.
