Number One Dungeon Supplier



"What's with all the ruckus…" Jin thought to himself as he could feel that his body had been tugged, squeezed, pulled, grabbed in every way thinkable. "Shouldn't the battle be done already?" He tried to open his eyes and found that Yinn was huffing and puffing. 

If not for the fact that she was a Mechanoid, there was no way she could pull this deed of protecting Jin up till now. "Are you fully awake?" Yinn asked with a bright smile. "You seem to be struggling in your sleep. And there were some sort of worm or worms going around your body. Tellie and Click described to me what had happened to you before.

"Yeah, that's normal for me. What's happening?" He asked when more bullet shots were heard from the back of her and Yinn knew there was no time to get such explanations from him.

"Scenario 7. We had been betrayed," Yinn reported and Jin squinted his eyes to comprehend what was going through in his head. 

"I see. Culprit's the military as usual?" Jin asked as his Mechanoid finally found a corner where they could have a breather and Jin was back on his knees. He fired up his Maqi a little and found that he was able to circulate better and more of the supposedly blocked smaller meridians had been opened. Jin therefore believed that he is now Cultivation Grade 4. He was guessing the repeated smashing of the Dragon provided some strain that forced those meridians to open. 

Diaz finally zoomed out from the corner and greeted Jin. "Honestly, I thought that you were dead for sure considering how Yinn had been covering you."

"I think I did receive a bit of grazing from the bullets but they do not hurt as much," Jin replied. "It's probably thanks to you and Yinn for protecting.

"Yea, its hella pain. I should be thankful that I did get those extra armour plating. They were worth it." Diaz commented.

"The Mechanoids are still chasing us as we speak and we are at least 200 metres away from the Diamondz Corp Office," Yinn stated to remind them of the current objectives.

"Did you not say that this particular Diamondz Corp Office had been compromised in your report?" Jin asked as Yinn handed him a pistol for self defence as well as a few ammunition clips.

"It might be and the Parry City Military Soldiers and Mechanoids would have already deduced the location we are going and they might be there to ambush us." Diaz said. "But that is the only possible place to convene plus it's in the south area of the City. Consider it as a checkpoint."

"I assumed you have some other plan other than going there blind," Jin said as he started to move when Yinn found the coast was clear.

"Yes, Page might have found something pertaining to the building of the Mecha Fire Dragon. She had sent an undisclosed amount of encrypted information to General Ost because she had not been able to analyse it as of now. However, she managed to decipher a possible location that could reveal more of the problem."Yinn secretly switched to the System Channel to tell Jin this while on the surface she gave a big fat No.

"So, we are the bait?" Jin asked even though he knew that it was useless to ask such an obvious answer but it was all for the camera livestream.

"Sadly, yes." Diaz did bother to answer Jin!

"Rules of engagement?" Jin questioned and Yinn stated that she had been performing non lethal shots to the soldiers but she would kill the Mechanoids if possible.

"That's rather kind of you guys. I honestly did not expect that." Jin said as he too decided to do the same when he encountered his enemies. 

"But we cannot guarantee the same thing for those in tanks or jeeps. They posed too much danger to us." Diaz remarked and Jin nodded his head.

"Have you seen any of those Diamondz Corps Mechanoids that we had sold in the mix of this fight as well?" Jin asked and both of them did say that they encountered loads of them. "That's good. Which means we can turn the tide a little." 

"What? Do you have a master kill switch code? I thought that was forbidden especially after Diamondz sold their goods. It's against the international trade agreement and if this big of an operation, Diamondz will get penalised for it."

"Hahaha! Why did you talk like Denise? Do not worry. I am doing something less dangerous than that. I will 'hack' them." Jin said as he checked with the System if it was able to identify the Diamondz Mechanoids within the vicinity. 

"How the heck you will hecking hack them?" Diaz asked and immediately they encountered one right in front of them. Jin said he would take the lead and grabbed it by its head which he then shouted "COMMENCING HACK A TON!"

It was in a loud booming voice that a number of soldiers who were trying to find him were able to hear him and push to that direction along with their Mechanoids. But the shouting was not the only thing that had happened since Jin also released a visible circular wave of force with his Maqi which vibrated through the buildings and roads. 

There was no visible damage to those soldiers who encountered the force especially at further distances but it was still something that gave them a bit of goosebumps. It did not actually do anything than to feel more prepared to engage the enemy. 

However, that wave of force was nothing but a ruse. A ruse that was created by Jin on the spot. That force did what it needs as an act of theatrics for the livestream while the actual thing that happened was Jin sending out a code. A secret passcode to all of the Diamondz Mechanoid who heard the phrase 'commencing hack a ton' to remove their IFF (identification friend or foes) codes. 

When that happened next was pretty apparent as the Diamondz Corp Mechanoids who initially saw the soldiers as their friendlies had started shooting at them at their back. What seemed like betrayal subsequently turned into a free for all.
