Chapter 1563 Counterattack against Diamondz -Part 8
Shots were fired and multiple targets went down easily considering how they were confused by the initial bout when Click assassinated the very first guard.The rest who managed to survive the first wave of gunshots reacted by taking cover whenever possible.
However, Team Armoury did not give any quarters as they shot in bursts to keep the suppression against the shocked enemies pinned down. Another few went down as they failed to find cover in time and Jin quickly charged in to prevent the ones closest to them to fight back.
But what did not expect was that the security guards employed in this particular headquarters were unlike the Mechanoids and commanders they had fought against. In fact, they were in similar veins like the Archduke's guards Kurt and Lark. Some who were supposed to be killed came alive again as their secondary backup reactors activated and immediately attempted to break Jin's weapon.
Sadly, who they were dealing with was a person who had seen more battles than they could ever imagine. Even without the use of Maqi, Jin used the butt of his favoured P90 assault rifle to smack the Mechanoids that were coming for him. With finesse, the Grey Bear Commander spun his rifle once more to give a nonlethal blow to another Mechanoid, providing the sufficient distance for Tellie to enable supporting fire, killing him once and for all.
Click then saw someone was trying to escape from their scene, supposedly to call for more backup and Jin was instantly alerted via the Tactical System blaring at him. The former Dungeon Supplier instinctively gathered Maqi in his hand and fired a straight focused beam of energy, causing the escapee to drop to the ground.
At the same time, he clutched his machine gun close to his torso and fired a few bullets out at the enemy's feet who tried to grapple him. Yet the Mechanoid looked as if he had deactivated his pain receptors and would not allow Jin to leave. In fact, leaving was not an option that the Mechanoid was giving Jin as he was about to use all his strength to squeeze the life out of him.
"Looks like he has forgotten that there are still other enemies aside from you." Click said as she smack the Mechanoid's nape and a small sized explosive was attached on it, causing to explode the moment Click landed on her feet.
"Sheesh, that was dangerous." Jin said as he closed his eyes in time when the mini kaboom happened. "This is the first time I see these many male Mechanoids."
"Diamondz are infamous for creating male Mechanoids and they are considered to be luxurious erm…items since they are all customised beyond the usual specifications." Click said as she and Tellie assisted Jin out from the initial grapple after the Mechanoid who grabbed him went 'offline'.
"The rest of the manufacturing companies do not make males because there's more parts to it and most commanders never like male models. They find it too overwhelming."
"More like dickless." Tellie commented and Click looked at her with disbelief and then realised where she was looking at.
Jin.
"Ah." Jin realised what they were thinking but he asked once again to check whether his answer was the same as theirs. "I hope the current me works out for you girls."
"Oh, you got the drift. I thought you did not." Click smiled as she lent a hand to Jin and helped him out. That was when the tactical System suddenly started populating their holographic consoles with multiple bogeys. Jin might be stuck in the arms of a freshly dead Mechanoid but that did not mean he was unable to multi task to check their surroundings as they dragged him out from the permanent robot man hugging.
"Let's go arm ourselves." Jin said as he went towards the direction where the previous Mechanoid tried to escape. They were all eventually thankful for him since his death allowed the door to be left ajar and they could enter without having the hassle of decoding the password to the door. It was when they entered that they pulled the dead Mechanoid into the room and locked themselves in it.
The lights automatically came to life, revealing the contents of the room to the team, and it showed rows and more rows of Mechanoids waiting for the activation call to be given to them. Click went to the nearest console and with the aid of the tactical System, she began to analyse and decode in hopes that they could have some manpower for themselves.
In the meantime, a short message popped out to Diamondz CEO's holographic console. "An unidentified intrusion to the armoury? Looks like these terrorists are better than I thought." Edmond said as he dropped his utensils onto his half eaten meal and started to call out to his own AI system.
"If they want the robots for themselves, then let's give it to them." Edmond said as he was happy his paranoia paid off when an unauthorised user started to use the consoles in the armoury. This was something that even the security guards even knew as Edmond Diamondz himself programmed this alert interface without the acknowledgement of his trusted advisors as well.
Afterall, why leave the security of one's home to other people when you should be the one that needs to be protected. Thus, knowing thy own system was the best way to handle unexpected threats like this. Although granted, throughout the years of operating Diamondz corporation, there was never a time like this until now. So, hundreds and thousands of points had been meaninglessly wasted until Jin had justified the use of such extensive security measures, allowing the CEO to beam with happiness that his paranoia had paid off.
It was one of the reasons why the CEO wanted Mount Sunn was also partially due to his obsession of not having everything under his own control. Therefore, with the security cameras fully operational within the armoury, all Edmond had to do was to click on a button via his holographic console and it was time to finish his meal as his elite sleeping guards wakes up to rid the terrorists who had unknowingly trapped themselves in such a mess.
