Chapter 1702 Who Will Know? -Part 24
Page did make it easy for the Grey Bear Squad as they travelled through the first few basements of the underground facility with ease. There was little to no resistance and there was even one soldier who surrendered his arms instantly the moment he saw them coming from afar.
He was so desperate to survive that he even took out his belt and used it to tie his own hands so that they would not be able to do anything. Jin did not even give him a look as they walked past him but to the soldier who surrendered, it felt as if the death reaper had walked through his life.
All he could do was to try and breathe properly and slowly walk out of the underground facility as the Grey Bear Squad continued downwards. They eventually met the resistance of a huge concrete door which Click thought of disposing with explosives until Jin walked to the console and pressed a button.
The heavy concrete door slowly opened and all the other Grey Bears laughed for a moment as Click embarrassed herself not knowing that the door could be open that easily. But that laughter ceased as Jin raised his pistol. When the door opened, Tellie saw the word armoury being written as part of the directions and asked Jin if he wanted to stock up since all he had was just some measly handgun.
"You sure it's an armoury? The last we went to one, we had been ambushed by Mechanical Scorpions, Fat Ass Gorillas and subsequently T-Rexes that nearly whip our asses out of existence." Petty Click wished to get back on the failure she had encountered previously but Jin nodded.
"If those were there, then we might have an even easier time to battle the Mecha Fire Dragons. Besides, we will need destructive firepower if explosives do not work so surely they would have some anti huge mechanical weapons in case they go semi rogue." Jin replied as Yinn and Diaz took point moving towards the armoury.
True enough, when they entered it (With Click finally able to blow a door away with a small pack of C4) the armoury had been stocked up with weapons that were deadly enough to take down a company of Mechanoids in a minute.
Diaz took the biggest of guns within the armoury, a gatling grenade launcher with a huge metal ammunition pack that she had to carry. When carried, her processor core immediately readjusted the power within her legs so that she could not only withstand the weight but also be able to run a little with it.
At that moment, Click also 3D Printed a few additional actuators and implanted them into Diaz's legs so that they could assist and ease the movement a little more. Jin found out that there were no melee weapons within the armoury and it was obvious to the people planning the area. Why would they need melee combat when doing that amounts to suicide when fighting against a rogue dragon?
But there were two firefighter axes within the armoury and he decided to take those two as well as a brand new rifle. The rest stocked up their usual ammunition and necessary battlefield accessories to bring into the fight.
Yet all those restockings and even Diaz' mega gun were not the surprises they found in the armoury. There was an elaborate physical map of the underground facility printed on the corner of the room. That was the most vital information which they could utilise but even Page was not able to get access to the information for the entire facility from the Mechanoids she had hacked previously.
"Looks like the dragon making facility is just one floor down," Yinn said and everyone loaded their weapons to move downwards. But as they reached the emergency stairs to the next basement floor, a bullet wheezed through Yinn who was still taking point.
"Do not come any further down! We do not wish to fight and have decided to self destruct the Mecha Fire Dragons!" One of the soldiers said.
"We saw your live public broadcast along with the rest. We had no idea this was solely General Toba's idea. We assumed Sir Peru Peru was in it as well!" Another soldier shouted through the stairs.
"How could we believe you when you had just shot at us?" Yinn said and the soldier at the corner of the staircase threw his weapon to the view where the Grey Bear Squad could see it."
"We just want out! We thought this was a secret project that would bolster the defence of the Empire and ultimately the city as well. We had no idea! We had no freaking idea that it's Toba's."
"Then why did you put a self destruct sequence when you know that it might harm the city! Shouldn't you just give us the keys to the room?" Click said but there was no response for a moment which made Jin sigh as he gathered his Maqi and with a step backwards, he jumped.
He did not leap down to the next portion of the staircase and instead to the wall. He was later met with even more shooting but Jin already prepared his Maqi which was at this point and Cultivation Grade where he could stop the force of the bullets.
So he dived in to see a group of soldiers and Mechanoids ready to ambush the Grey Bear Squad, showing that the talk was just an act to drop their guard. They never meant to leave the area but they also did not realise that their Commander was someone that special who could dive in and smack everyone with the butt of his rifle and it was enough to concuss all of them.
Imbued with Electrical Maqi, those rifle whips were effective against Mechanoids too and paralyzing those who Jin was unable to concuss on hit.? The rest of the Grey Bears ran down the stairs and saw the entirety of the stairway had been covered with unconscious soldiers and dead Mechanoids.
