Chapter 48 - New Order VI

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 the 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 of The Spider headquarters is quite noisy besides inside 'The Web' which was relatively isolated from the outside 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 like 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 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 so they are eager to fight.

Beru keeps giving orders even though according to their monitoring system everything is ok and no problem is found the fact then 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's happening is just a dream and he just fell asleep in his chair because of fatigue, but he only keep 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 they didn't 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 stalled in the wall in the side of the Spider HQ this wall leads to the power and control room of the HQ 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 which is outside the internet network and was built with its own internal network this was 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 knows about it even Beru the head of the Security is not privy to the secret as this is the lifeline that concern the top members especially the Head of the Spider for this control 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.

5 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 human and many alien affiliated to humans, it was 4 meters tall and two 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 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 pass by word of mouth and even then there are only 3 people 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 unit is 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 accident," said Ruby

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's 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 2 shadow unit 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 the order Jem was already in front of the one of the Ex series droid with a flexible sword in one hand and a silent gun on 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 settings in the head of the Ex series droid and fired,

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

Ruby didn't waste time either she as 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 hack 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 was able to destroy it by firing their silent gun, Ruby just nod at them,

"Eve, give me a report on these things," said 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 Unit to enter in 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 Shadow Unit to go and enter in another place, 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 suite dispersion technology saves them.
