Chapter 1562 Counterattack Against Diamondz -Part 7
"I am seeing multiple targets climbing up the stairs. Based on their fumbling communications, they seem to take notice of Team Boss and Team Research." Click said through the tactical System as they attempted to blend through the crowd.
Even if Diamondz employees who had seen the terrorists would like to file a report, they were more or less shaken by the quick retaliation by the group as well as attempting to escape from the whole incident. What's more was that a number of them were not entirely awake in the morning, dragging their feet to work just to complete another round of responsibilities so that they could end the day and relax.
They did not expect the day to be rudely awakened by an aircraft smashing through their windows and much less cause a scene by exploding the side of the building. They were entirely confused as to how it was related to them as Floor 46 and Floor 47 belonged to the most useless department in the entire headquarters. The customer support section.
Barring the fact that the customer support section was the most hated portion of the company, they honestly did not expect that someone would launch an attack at them because of them. Were the monsters the people in customer support or was it people and Mechanoids who crashed into the area the actual horrors? Only those employed in the customer support section could answer that question.
So, as scared as the employees could be, they did not care about how the terrorists were running down the stairs among them since the Grey Bears did not entirely assault the group discriminately. That was also the reason why the Grey Bears were able to partially disguise themselves as they saw the guards pushing their way through the crowd to get up to the crime scene as well as chasing the terrorists who were aiming for the higher floors.
They all assumed that the terrorists' target was the CEO himself and they were not wrong with such a deduction. It was the Grey Bear's primary goal to vanquish the CEO so that the assault on Mount Sunn would be halted. However, upon taking in the memories and repeated knowledge from the thousands of Mechanoids they have killed, it had become apparent that the Diamondz company had something more sinister lying within the restricted research section.
That was the reason for coming to Diamondz Headquarters as well so that the Grey Bears would not be branded as mere terrorists for killing the CEO once this was well and over. They needed an excellent excuse to gain the favour of the world seeing them not just as a team who wished to stop an assault on Mount Sunn. They needed something substantial that could not only keep the media away from them but also the higher powers and private corporations to back away from them. Perhaps, if the Lady Fate is on their side, they might even overturn and get the entire Empire to back them up especially since they already had the Archduke at their side.
"Do not engage. Let them go for now. The first responders are usually the minor pawns in a security operation. It is nothing the rest could not handle and it's imperative we reached the armoury depot without much hindrance. After all, we need as many elite Mechanoids to be under our control if we want to take over the entire building." Jin said and the other two nodded their heads, keeping their pistols well hidden but available to shoot when needed in less than a moment's notice.
True enough, the chaos of the fire alarm had enabled Jin and Team Armoury to reach Floor 35 without much of an issue and it's precisely because of the fire alarm combined with the terror attack, most of the doors were unlocked, enabling the team to have access until the busy security personnel realised that the three who passing through the areas were coming to restricted places.
"Hey! The evacuation is down that hallway! Not this way!" One of the security personnel shouted as he was attempting to wear his body armour but that was when Click screamed.
"I saw the terrorists! I saw the terrorists!" Her acting was so bad that Jin wished the System installed some acting modules for her.
"Lady! Calm down!" Most of the Mechanoids by right have certain features that would enable them to be identified almost immediately. However, the upgrades that Archduke's Assistant Chief Engineer Rocky had performed, enabled the nanobots within the Mechanoids to give them a more humane look. That was not to say it was without help with the tactical System as it created a high tech skin mask for every Grey Bear so that their appearances could be masked from the cameras should the development of the situation they were in go south.
"Yes! We saw them attempting to move to the lower levels!" Click tried to push through the security personnel who were blocking her and calculated the level of threat within the area. The information was instantly sent to Tellie and Jin giving them a fairly accurate number of the enemies they would be facing as well as the amount of preparations they had.
The security personnel sighed as he tried to push her away but thinking it was a hassle trying to calm down the frantic person, it was not until he placed his hands near her chest that the personnel realised that he felt something familiar (Not bewbs you lewd people)
"A body armour…?" That was the last thought that went through his mind as Click lifted up her hand and a hidden blade was shot out through her waist, allowing her to stab his throat.
"You!?" The security personnel was trained enough that his hand reactively blocked in time causing the blade to pass through his hand instead. However, this was not the ancient time where assassins had a piece of metal sticking out of the hands. A loud band rattled the entire room as a bullet spiralled out of the very same hand that was blocking the blade and into his skull.
"Let's go." Jin said as Click now used the dying Security personnel as a human meat shield, paving the way for Jin and Tellie to enter the room swiftly with their guns ablaze.
