Chapter 48: 048 Super D

Arc also saw what Eve has done, and he let out a chuckle which dispersed the awkward atmosphere in his office, he can only imagine the faces of Jerry, Biggs, and wedge when they found out the truth...

He then focuses his attention on the attack on The Spider headquarters, there was still no news about Millers' conditions. He didn't ask Eve about it, as he was afraid of what he was going to hear.

Different from a calm and silent atmosphere outside the Spider HQ. inside, The Spider headquarters is quite noisy. Only inside The Web which was relatively isolated from the outside is relatively peaceful. But everything else in the HQ is noisy. People can be heard shouting and giving orders, countless people can be seen gearing up and taking their defensive position as they always do in practice.

But today is different many of the people are nervous they have no idea of what's to come or what to expect they were just asked to take up a defensive position, of course, many are also excited since this is the first time they are going to apply all they learned in training and practice they did, so they are eager to fight.

Beru keeps giving orders even though according to their monitoring system everything is ok, and there's no problem found the fact that no one returns from any patrol is very suspicious, what puzzle him the most is that they can still contact the said patrol and personnel and no matter how many times they check they don't see any problem.

He wondered if he is just being paranoid or hallucinating and that everything that was happening is just a dream, and he just fell asleep in his chair because of fatigue, but he only kept those thoughts in his mind he needs to remain calm and collected in front of his men even if he doesn't know what he is doing, he's still going to pretend he was an expert in front of his men.

The atmosphere outside is solemn nobody mention what happened to Miller, and even the playful Jem has a serious expression on her face, Ruby gave a series of instructions and the Shadow Unit took action immediately,

Explosives are being installed on the wall on the side of the Spider HQ, this wall leads to the power and control room, and even though Eve can hack into almost anything there are some things she wasn't able to do. For example, the power and safety control terminal of the Spider HQ is outside the internet network and was built with its own internal system. This is to prevent hacking, which is very effective as even Eve cannot access it.

So this is their first target, the location of the power and security terminal is top secret and only a select few know about it. Even Beru the head of Security is not privy to the secret as this is the lifeline that concerns the top members, especially the Head of the Spider. This controlling terminal controls all the mechanism regarding all escape routes inside the Spider HQ and because of that, only The Head and the most trusted man of the Head has access to it. It was also guarded by one of the secret weapons of The Spider organization.

Five of the EX series combat Droid The Spider paid a huge amount of resources to procure it from Royal Empire and have it smuggled here under the nose of HFA.

The Ex series combat droid is a very powerful machine that combines the technology of humans and many aliens affiliated with humans, it was 6 meters tall and four meters wide it was bipedal like a mech except fully automated and has its own network, so even Eve has no way of Hacking it unless she connected it into her network or simply connecting it to the internet.

The Ex series combat droid was equipped with a variety of weapons and all of them are lethal the only downside of this machine is its limited power supply and because of that, it can only operate for a short period of time before needing to recharge. It only has 30 minutes of operating time, but it was more than enough to destroy or eliminate any of its targets.

Eve is not aware of its existence in the Spider HQ since it was never recorded in any device, its existence is only being passed by word of mouth and even then there are only 3 people who are aware of it in the Spider organizations, so it's not surprising that even with Eve godly means she remains ignorant of its existence, after all, it was already there even before she was born or created in this world by the system, and The Shadow Units are unaware of what surprise the other side of the wall is stored for them.

Luckily because of what happened to Miller, their vigilance is in the highest settings that include Ruby and Jem.

"ETA 30 seconds take your positions, I don't want any more accidents," said Ruby with a serious tone to her voice.

Everyone nodded in confirmation

Ruby gestures in her hand 3, 2, 1 BOOM!!

As planned the moment the wall was blasted they throw smoke grenades inside, and as they were about to storm in Ruby felt something wrong at the same time Eve was made aware of what was on the other side of the wall and immediately issues a warning and emergency evasion luckily the shadow unit was able to react in time and was able to dodge the incoming attack, unfortunately, two Shadow Units was unable to dodge in time and was hit by a direct attack and was blasted in the distance their conditions unknown.

"Everyone gets out of its attacking range!!" Shouted Ruby.

And as she was issuing orders, Jem was already in front of one of the Ex series droids with a flexible sword in one hand and a silent gun in another, Clang!! A gash was seen on the neck of the Ex series droid but it didn't manage to stop its advance, she turns halfway in the air and pointed the silent gun in maximum setting in the head of the Ex series droid and fired.

A laser beam was released in the muzzle of the silent gun by firing at maximum settings it used almost 35 percent of its energy, but it was worth it. The head of one of the Ex combat droids was destroyed, and it stops moving, Jem smiled when she saw but, but immediately her smile receded. For the droid that was supposed to be disabled was starting to move again.

"Che, such a pain," said Jem in annoyance

Ruby didn't waste time either she was already on top of the headless droid, she fires her silent gun in maximum setting from the top of the headless droid frying all its internal components.

The attack of the other Ex series combat droid is already upon her, she hacks two of the four missiles heading for her and was too late to dodge the two other, and as she was about to brace for impact Michelle and Dove were able to destroy it by firing their silent gun, Ruby just nod at them.

"Eve, give me a report on these things," ask Ruby calmly as she continues to battle the four other Droid, unfortunately, her flexible swords have little effect on it except leave a few gashes and her silent gun still needs a few seconds to cool off before being able to fire again...

So in order for the plan to not be delayed they change their strategy, Ruby and Jem will keep the Ex series combat droid busy and Michelle and Dove will lead the rest of the Shadow Units to enter another place.

"Hopefully, there are no more surprises like this one, or we will receive quite a few casualties if this continues," said Ruby in her mind.

Michelle and Dove didn't argue with the change of plan and immediately gather the rest of the Shadow Unit to go and enter another area, but there's a piece of good news the two Shadow Unit that was blasted away earlier was ok they are only stunned for a few seconds but uninjured as their armor dispersion technology saves them.
