Chapter 1461 Storm The Underground -Part 1
"I have no idea what you did, but it seems that you have some kind of power up?" Diaz asked as she lurked behind Jin holding onto the drill.
"You could say that," Jin said as he attempted to point the drill at the underground door that had been blocked by the debris. The artillery bombardment sure did a h.e.l.l of a job breaking stuff that it was such a mess.
Now that Jin knows that the tactical system had been inhibited by his own System, he did try to nudge it in ways to support him even further. Points of weakness had been examined the moment Jin had utilised his Maqi sensing, allowing the System to determine where would be the best place to drill a hole.
But Jin had other things in mind. Instead of drilling to open it up, he was intending to use the strength he acquired in his Grade 2 ascension to break the weak points of the entrance so that he could enter and face head on the Mechanoids while the rest continued to back him up..
However, he did not intend to make himself the centre of attention just yet nor did he wish to have a death wish charging into a narrow tunnel filled with a wall of bullets smas.h.i.+ng into him.
"Listen up, this will be like fis.h.i.+ng. We will be hooking the target with bait and later releasing the pressure to lure them out. The current advantage they have is numbers and let"s hope that when cornered, the Rebel Commanders would want an all out attack against us so that they could clear up their names for being utterly defeated in less than a day."
"That"s the best case scenario if they decided to charge at us, and so I want you two to take positions where Tellie can cover as well. I will start drilling to attract their attention while Click would time her sabotage with me to create a diversion."
"So, a blackout or overloading their machine?" Click questioned and Jin selected the former.
"Is it possible to kill the lights but not the machine?"
"If the tactical system information is correct, I will be able to kill all the lights with the exception of the room where their major 3D printing machine resides. The circuitry does not seem to be complex enough to do what you request."
"That is good enough. As mentioned, you timed with what my command and I will break in to lure their attention. Yinn will provide suppressive fire as I charge in and the moment I fall back, reinforce the cover to prepare for their emergence." Jin said but before he allowed them to do anything else, the commander of Grey Bears nodded his head.
In that instant, Diaz, Yinn and Tellie turned and aimed their guns at the CCTVs that the Rebel Commanders had installed in the churches. Their simultaneous takeout of the CCTVs left the Rebel Commanders blinded once more after the electromagnetic interference had died down when they saw the Empire Squad Commander sitting at the centre of the church.
They did not know what exactly had happened and now this simultaneous taking down of their eyes had caused them even more anxiety that they hurried the production of the remaining Mechanoids.
"Do you want us to use the kids as well?" One of the rebel commanders asked but eventually, the lead rebel commander shook his head.
"They are way too small and it would be a ha.s.sle to readjust the 3D printer again just to accommodate those kids" size." The lead rebel commander said and started to ask the rest to activate the Mechanoids they had in reserve.
"Find whatever you can in this dastardly underground. We will pile up the cover and prepare for their strike. Fire with everything you have the moment you even see them!" At that time, Jin had already started drilling, which caused even more panic underground for the Ultra Revolutionist commanders.
"What if they do not take the bait?" Diaz asked through the tactical System as she readied the defences on their side as well.
"I won"t say it"s impossible but the chances of them not taking it is really low," Jin said as he continued to drill based on the Tactical System"s recommendation so as to weaken it further before he punched it through.
"They are sh.e.l.l shocked, had major losses and are now holed up in an underground tunnel with nowhere to go. Other than the surveillance from the Church"s CCTV, I believe they might have concluded that we are the only squad around. And since there is no other support, they would highly take their chances to break out of this conundrum despite the achievement we had against their Mechanoids." Yinn explained.
"In short, use your G.o.dd.a.m.n processor brain to search for the a.n.a.lysis." Click added and it caused the rest of the members to chuckle.
"Hey, my processor had been programmed to do potentially more destructive damage than all of you combined." Diaz was furious that she had been insulted but she continued to do her work.
"We could have placed more traps around…" Tellie felt uncomfortable that she was about to face another dozen more Mechanoids and so far, she could tell that they were already lucky enough to win against overwhelming odds.
But if they could succeed with this mission, the Grey Bears would not just get additional money from all the extra objectives they had completed, but they might have their reputation restored. In fact, their squad could raise their Squad rank and take up better paying missions.
"I am ready." Jin"s words pierced through everyone"s worry and anxiety as he stopped the drill.
"Grey Bear 01, Covering."
"Grey Bear 02, Overwatch."
"Grey Bear 03, f.u.c.k, this is nonsense, how can you work so fast?! Aye yes yes ready."
"Grey Bear 04, All prep is done. Give the word."
"Let"s give them some h.e.l.l," Jin said as he turned on the electric drill in one hand and held his P90 Submachine gun in another while powering his leg with Maqi.
