Chapter 1491 Private Corpos Ambush - Part 1
"I do not really know what it is but I do feel there a small change to it even though there is currently no scientific reason to it." Click said as she touched the pins and clenched it tight.
"We are doing this just in case things go awry, we will still be able to locate each other. Other than that let"s hope that our worries are baseless." Jin said as he packed himself the usual loadout and carried some extra ammunition. The vest became heavy and it made him missed the storage watch that he had with him.
Not to mention the protection that it provided with the living armour pieces that came with it. But if anything was a consolation, he still have the abilities bestowed by the Three Cardinals as well as the dungeon making ability.
The night before, he and the Tactical System secretly created a few instant dungeons in order to trap his enemies in case they were out there to trap him. (A reverse trap!) He honestly did not thought that far that those people that aided him so far would be devious enough to swindle him but he was more of creating it in the event of enemies.
Now that Yinn had reminded him how smooth sailing it gone, Jin was relieved that he had stayed up the night to prepare for such instances. But yet, he prayed internally that nothing bad would happen to them. To his surprise, Yinn and Tellie had searching their own version of internet to check whether Old Fammet does exist and with visual records from the night"s brawl, his physical imagery checked out.
Nie"s SUV came out from the Inn"s parking lot and he stayed in his vehicle after honking once. Diaz and Click went up to pick up the duffel bags from the room while Tellie and Yinn brought the remaining extra equipment into the back of the SUV. The bellboy then took the remaining equipment back to Jin"s suite.
"Wow, for a trip to the Mecha Smith, you are packing quite a lot of heat." Nie said and Jin merely smiled.
"You said yourself. The major corps still had an eye on him. It would not be a surprise they would come out of the woods and beat us up if those corporate spies decided that we are a possible a growing threat." Jin made up the only reasonable excuse for packing this much heat.
"Hmm, you are right to stay on the safe side. The people who asked him for emergency repairs were greeted the same way. That was why they needed the emergency repairs." Nie said the part of the story that had been omitted from his initial story.
Yet Jin continued to play cool as the duffel bags had been loaded into the SUV and all four War Maidens were still able to squeeze into the SUV. Considering that his SUV was a six seater vehicle, it did gave them more than enough s.p.a.ce to have their weapons on their laps.
While the War Maidens were on alert mode, Jin was able to sit back and relax right beside the driver as they drove out of the town with no U-turns or anything. The moment they were out of the town outskirts and approached near the woods, Jin released his chi sensing once more so that they could be keep a look out of any possible ambushes.?????????ѵ??. c??
The only thing he could not detect if there were literal traps such as land mines but he believed the old security guard would not be such a daredevil to perform such stuns to make him feel innocent.
But as they moved closer to the mountain and deeper into woods, Jin had started to pick up a few human signals.
"Be on guard." Nie suddenly said to Jin breaking the quiet but tense atmosphere that they had been riding.
"I had sent my security War Maidens ahead to take a look at the woods for me, as you had said the corps had always played dirty. They haven"t been responding to me."
"Why would you do that?"
"I met up with Old Fammet after our dinner. He said he finally saw someone who had the guts and drive in their eyes to be number one. I never really understood how he notices people, perhaps he had some a.n.a.lysing processor in his eyes but he told me something that he had never said for these two decades."
"What he said?"
"I will fire up the furnace once more. Get your gear and meet me at the bottom of Mount Sunn. I need an a.s.sistant with me." Nie said as his expression got a bit teary. "There is no doubt that those private corps caught wind of your intention to meet him since they have informers in the police department. But I did not expect them to move this fast especially when there was no activity for so many years."
As Nie said that, he pressed on the pedal even harder, hoping to accelerate and moved towards the hill faster.
"As much as Jin wished to take his words with a grain of salt, there was no denying that what Nie said could be completely true. If Ming were to be alive again, there was no doubt that Jin might drop everything and a.s.sist his grandfather in whatever ways he can now that he knew the truth about him.
And as Nie pressed onward, the number of pings got even more drastic through the Tactical System that the War Maidens were ready to act if Jin gave them the signal. "We will be heading into Old Fammet"s workshop, there are more than enough defensive systems to deter them all. I am pretty sure that they are still working if Old Fammet had suggested "turning the furnace" on for me."
"Then I guess I should be glad that I have packed more than heat with me for this trip." But the moment Jin said it, a loud whirr from the top was heard and a missile flew towards them. With Jin"s acute senses, he quickly took the wheel and caused Nie to do a quick left, giving them the flora and fauna as cover.
Although the missile"s explosion was huge but with the trees as cover, all they had extreme b.u.mpy exit but things don"t look good at all as they had quite a distance to cover before reaching the bottom of Mount Sunn.
