Chapter 1703 Who Will Know? -Part 25
"Stupid! AhhhH~" Diaz was the only one who had trouble going down the stairs as her weapon was way too heavy and she tried her best not to step on the unconscious soldiers. It was to the point that Tellie who was behind her had decided to grab hold of the metal ammunition backpack and aid her down the stairs.
Eventually, they caught up with Jin and the rest of the Grey Bears who did move away once they opened the doors of the basement. They thought that the squad were waiting for them because it was better to move in formation but then when they saw what the rest had seen, they too were standing still for a moment.
There was not just one or two Mecha Fire Dragons in development. There were rows of Mecha Fire Dragons in production. Six were in some holding bay while the seventh holding bay was empty even though the eighth had already been filled. But what made them hold their breath was the one at the very end of the basement floor.
The ninth and last Mecha Fire Dragon was twice the size of those Mecha Fire Dragons in the holding bays. If compared to the Crystal Dragon that Diamondz was making, it was at least half times bigger than it.
"No wonder, General Toba wants to erase all evidence of the people who were in the known of this endeavour. This is too much." Jin said and looked at Diaz. "You think that metal can of bullets can do anything to all of these?"
"Nope…I doubt so." Diaz now felt a little dumb carrying that gatling grenade launcher with her while Page did not hesitate to take multiple pictures of the facility. Jin stood there for a moment and thought about what the soldiers had said.
"Yinn, could you check whether if these Fire Dragons are truly prepped for self destruct. Click, do a scan for bombs." Jin asked and the two of them went ahead with their task. Yinn went to the closest digital console and started reviewing the last few commands while Click was running around with her innate detector on to check for explosives.
"None!" Click shouted but Yinn did not respond when the combat engineer mechanoid was done with her check.
"Commander, when they say self destruct. I think they did not mean in a literal sense." Yinn said and beckoned the rest to come to the digital console.
"I think they are doing something like what you had done to the Diamondz Corp old series Mechanoids. They had removed the IFF code for each and every one of them and even as we speak, they had already been sending energy into all 8 of them including the incomplete huge Mecha Fire Dragon."
"So… what they did was not self destruct…" Tellie remarked.
"In a way it kinda is. If all eight dragons had their IFF codes removed, they would treat all contacts as enemies and they would slaughter each other within this basement." Click said. "Well… assuming they remained in this basement and beat the ass out of each other. Else, I think they will be taking the fight out through that patch up hole over there." Click said and everyone knows what would happen if even one of them did move out of this basement and out of the hole.
"Explosives is not the way to go as well, collapsing them would not do as much damage as we will expect it to be. If that old Mecha Fire Dragon was able to go through that amount of steel bars and concrete and out of the facility, it means the rest could also do with ease too."
"Then there is no way we can defeat EIGHT of them! And one of them is like the big mother of them all! Is there any way to cut the energy?" Diaz asked Yinn but she shook her head.
"It's a one way command and there is no way to retract it. Also considering the amount of electricity going into them, it's most likely tapped from the electrical grid of the entire Parry City. I imagine the lights up there are going flicker a little more than a light show." Yinn replied and she was right.
The people in the Northern portion of Daimon territory and those who were watching from long range cameras including nosy neighbouring cities who were interested in the development of this incident saw Parry City's electrical grid going all haywire for a moment with lights turning on and off until the whole city went dark from the circuit breakers. There was not a single electrical appliance working unless they had been routed through a backup generator.
"How much time do we have left?" Not much perhaps one minute I can delay to at most two but we all know how futile that is." Yinn said and Jin nodded his head.
"Give me that extra minute. I need to warn the others." Jin said and the rest wondered if it was really a good idea to do so but ultimately, Jin was their commander and after all they went through, it didn't hurt to trust him this once too. "We all will help too. This will at least guarantee you that extra minute." The rest of the Grey Bear replied.
"I will try to insert a few viruses within the charging programme." Page said and Click added that she will try to create a backdoor too. Tellie and Diaz were not programming nuts and decided to give themselves up for more processing power. All five of them were in unison as they plugged through Yinn and started the digital fight.
Soon after the major lights out, a live broadcast emerged for the people who were worried which showed Jin all worn out from the development of events. In the background, the Dawn was breaking but it did not seem like there would be any good news coming out of the situation.
