Chapter 1687 Who Will Know? -Part 9
"No wonder the Parry City Military and their Mechanoids were not able to do much damage to the Mecha Fire Dragon." General Ost saw how the dragon regenerated its arms and continued to try to tear the city's barrier down with its fangs.
"How's the rescue efforts going?" Jin asked and the Central Defence Officer stated that while it was going apace, more and more civilians wished to be rescued and evacuated.
"If the numbers going to rise steadily through the next few hours, we do not have enough to clothe and feed them." The Central Officer said and Jin sighed. They could help evacuate the first few thousands but if more Parry City Citizens were risking their life to get out of the city and into Daimon, it would pose a problem for them during the recovery phase as well.
"Sir! The Grey Bears Squad sent an emergency signal, requesting to save two guards and one VIP. All critically injured." The officer reported.
"Any nearby helicopters that could do the job?"
"Only the Helicarrier, sir. Otherwise, the nearest rescue helicopter would be at least 3 kilometres away with half the load."
"Patch me up to 2LT Cloudie," Jin asked and the officer instantly established communication lines with the helicarrier pilot.
"Cloudie, no time for formal communications. Move to these coordinates and pick up a VIP. Time is of the essence."
"But Sir, there are a few dozen more that are attempting to board the helicarrier. If I leave now, they are not going anywhere safe. The helicopters would have a field day trying to get these many people out as well."
"VIP is Sir Peru Peru. We need him alive to get things done for Parry City." Jin knew that the other lives were equally important but so was Sir Peru Peru.
"But Sir." 2LT Cloudie understood the gravity of the situation and was ready to obey the leader's orders until he heard Jin sigh.
"I will see if the Grey Bears squad to go near you if it's possible. You hold the line for a moment" Jin quickly switched the communications to the Grey Bears.
"How injured is Sir Peru Peru?"
"Concussed but still breathing. Some exterior wounds but no punctures and from a quick x-ray, only a few bones were seemed to be fractured. His vitals are borderline low but we have prepared enough blood to maintain his condition. It's the other guard that we found that is in critical condition. Lynn found him as she was transversing to get to the VIP."
"Oh my god. I thought from the report from the officer that the VIP had been injured seriously." Jin said. "Can the guard be maintained until the rescue helicopter arrives?"
"If Page and Click stays with him and monitor his condition. There is a high chance he should be able to last for another 45 minutes." Yinn reported back.
"We then send the nearest rescue helicopter to him. On the other hand, I assume Sir Peru Peru is on a hover stretcher?" Jin asked as Yinn acknowledged. A hover stretcher was something like a stretcher that was floating above ground with the use of anti gravity modules as its engines. This is to prevent the stretcher from moving through uneven grounds which may increase the severity of the injury that the patient had.
"If that's the case, move towards the helicarrier's position. 2LT Cloudie is still boarding quite a number of citizens and your mission is to reach there as soon as possible."
"It will take approximately 15 minutes and I do not think we have the luxury of time considering that dragon is gnawing on the barrier like it's hungry for the main course," Yinn said. "Not to mention the helicarrier is a huge target that the dragon cannot ignore and I am not sure if its stealth mode will bluff the Dragon's sensors and logic board. Plus it needs time to go back."
"I can do that in less than 3 minutes." Lynn chimed in. "But it will be a slightly rough ride for Sir Peru Peru as he needs to be strapped tightly to the stretcher. Not to mention, I have a few tricks up my sleeves that could prevent the dragon from breathing fire at us for a while."
"Good. I will go to the battlefield soon." Jin stated before returning the communication line to 2LT Cloudie.
"Cloudie, Lynn will be going towards you as we speak. Prepare the engines and get out of there as soon as possible. I do not care if there are still people on the ground. You fire up those engines and run the hell out of there before the dragon burns that stinky old carrier down and you not only cause your life to be down the drain but the people on board too."
"Alright, Sir. Point bluntly taken and do not say bad things about the carrier. She doesn't stink!" 2LT Cloudie acknowledged as he started to prep the engines and that made the Parry Citizens who were trying to get on board a little anxious.
"Don't leave without me please!" In the meantime, the Daimon Combat Mechanoids were pushing them away and only letting the most frail or needed medical attention board the ship. As much as they do not wish to operate with violence, desperate times call for desperate measures when the Parry City citizens begin hitting the Daimon Combat Mechanoids.
It forced them to use nonlethal force such as smoke grenades as well as choking grenades to hinder their breathing so that they could not retaliate that much.
"Sorry people, no matter what I do, there will never be enough for everyone." 2Lt Cloudie said as he saw a Mechanoid jumping over buildings while carrying a stretcher at the top of her head.
"Lynn! Be quick!" Cloudie shouted through the speaker and Lynn was already doing her best to move as fast as possible but she underestimated even the building terrains of Parry City, forcing her to move with caution too.
Sadly, things never go as planned as the Mecha Fire dragon's roar could be heard not behind the barrier but through the barrier.
