Bab 10: Infiltration
Some minutes earlier:
There were 30 men outside the house, wearing black sci-fi suits and carrying guns. One man took out a device from his pocket and scanned the area.
"The device is catching heat signatures of two people, Sir."
"What?! Why is someone in this house?!" a man wearing a red suit questioned in rage.
The heat signatures were of Nier and Alina. The device couldn't detect Ziro because his body was cold.
"It could be something else. I mean, maybe it's just a device or some machine," one of the men shrugged.
"Hmm," the red suit nodded.
"Sir, they are moving. And it looks like they are coming downstairs," the man handling the device informed.
"Enough of this! We are here to take 'that' thing, and we are not going back without it. If we do, the boss will kill us!" the red suit instructed.
The man closed the thermal detector device and turned to the red suit, "Sir, it is not proven that we will find 'that' thing here. It's just one of the boss' assumptions."
The red suit glared at the man and said in a loud voice, "Listen here— newbie! Never doubt the boss' words. He is always true."
"Besides, we didn't find that thing in the plane crash, so it must be here— in Drake's house," the red suit added.
He walked some steps and turned around to look at his men, "Listen. We have no idea what we are looking for. It could be in any shape or state. So if you see or find anything strange, just take it."
"Yes! Sir," all the men nodded.
"Alright now," he pointed his finger at the five men standing in the front and said, "Open the front door. And the rest of them will cover them!"
The five men walked to the front door and tried to push it open. After some tries and pressing the switch, the men turned back and said, "It's not opening, Sir!"
The red suit couldn't hear the man as he was drinking cold coffee from the can and enjoying the music from his headphones.
Everyone glanced at each other and motioned each other to decide who would inform the red suit, but none of them was ready.
The newbie patted the red suit's shoulder and turned him around.
"How dare you touch me, you imbecile!" the red suit yelled as he threw the coffee can at the newbie— though he dodged.
"They are trying to say something, Sir," the newbie pointed his gun at the five men.
"What is it?!"
"The door is not opening, Sir."
The red suit smashed his headphones on the ground and yelled, "You useless, mutts! Can't even break a simple door?!"
"I don't think it is a simple door, Sir," the newbie commented.
"You shut up, newbie! Or I will kill you on your very first mission."
The red suit moved his hand on the side as though he was waiting for something to appear before his hand. The man standing behind the red suit handed C4 to the red suit.
The red suit walked to the front door and planted the C4 on the door.
"Hide behind the vehicles!" he yelled as everyone hid behind their respective vehicles.
The red suit stood up from behind the cover and yelled, "Give me the damn detonator!"
"Here," the man was sitting right beside the red suit, "Sir."
The red suit grabbed the detonator and pressed the switch.
BOOM!
With a loud bang, the fog and smoke covered the entire area.
The red suit got out from the cover and walked into the fog, and turned to the men, "This is how you open the door."
The fog cleared up, and everyone glanced at the front door.
"It is still not opened, Sir," the newbie commented.
"Shut up, Newbie! Don't you dare speak a word without my permission, and if you do, I will plunge the C4 in your arse and blow you up!"
The red suit walked to the front door and touched the wall and the door.
"Why is it not breaking?" He looked at the wall and shook his head in disbelief, "Not even a crack."
BEEP~ BEEP!
A sound came from the door.
The red suit glanced around in confusion as he heard another sound.
BEEB~!
He looked up to see a bunch of robotic guns coming out from the wall.
BEEP~!
[Intruder Alert!]
[Attack On The House!]
[Commencing Defense Mode!]
That was the house's defense mechanism enhanced with the security firmware that Ziro developed for Lily.
The guns started charging up, and as they got pointed at the red suit.
It was too late for the red suit to escape. He cuffed his hand together, and an invisible shield barrier appeared before his body.
The guns fired at the red suit, but couldn't penetrate his shield barrier.
"Heh!" the red suit smirked and said, "Your technology is too far behind us."
As soon as he said that, the firing stopped.
The red suit smirked wider and laughed out loud, "That's it? Hah ha ha ha!"
CLUNK~
A small round object rolled out from under the door, and it had a small screen with a timer on it.
[3]
[2]
Before the red suit could even realize and do anything, the timer went off.
[1]
BOOM!
It blasted and produced a shockwave that shook everything around the area.
The red suit was sent flying and collided with the armored truck, tripping it on the side. If it weren't for his shield barrier, he would have been blown up into pieces.
No one dared to walk out from the cover— except the newbie. The newbie started at the red suit as he slowly stood up and repaired his suit.
The red suit grabbed the gun lying on the floor and pointed it to the newbie, "Why is the security system still working?! I thought we had jammed everything!"
"It is most likely because this house's security system is running on a frequency unknown to us," the newbie replied.
"Then find the frequency and jam it!"
The newbie walked to the device and pressed a key as the screen popped up in front of him. He searched the frequencies around the area and pressed the switch again.
After a while, the device's light turned green. The newbie glanced at the front door and saw the guns dropping.
"Done, sir!"
"You didn't block our frequency, did you?" the red suit asked.
"No, sir. I am not as stupid as you..." After a brief pause, the newbie added, "...think."
I will deal with you later," the red suit turned to the men and ordered them to charge into the house.
"Go!"
The men dashed but stopped before the front door and glanced at each other. They looked up to the guns and tried to open the door.
The door opened without any problem, and everyone charged in. The red suit and the newbie also walked in and glanced around the house.
"Well, well," he looked at the cracks all over the house and smirked, "The inside doesn't look as strong as the outside."
The newbie took out the thermal deceive and scanned the house, "I can't find anyone, sir."
"Did they escape?"
"I don't know. The device isn't picking up any thermal signatures."
"Everyone," the red suit clapped loudly and shouted, "Scatter all over the house. If you see anyone, shoot them. And if you find anything strange-looking, take it."
Nier had already escaped, and Alina was hiding inside the closet with Ziro.
