Chapter 1686 Who Will Know? -Part 8



The mansion was burning and it started to spread to the garden grounds. However, the mission for Grey Bears was clear as day. To find Sir Peru Peru and get out of the place as quickly as possible. As much as they did not wish to wield weapons, they had to at least hold something to protect themselves.

But soon, they found out that there was no need to.

As much as the guards were paid a decent sum to protect the Lord of Parry City, it seemed that they valued their lives more than searching for a possibly dead Lord. Sir Peru Peru might have been dead in their eyes but their career wasn't. All they had to do was to survive to earn another day of wage.

"Is that why Jin wanted us to search for Sir Peru Peru instead?" Click asked as she was holding her backpack as delicate as possible since it was constructing resuscitation kits in case Sir Peru Peru was still alive.

"One of the reasons especially since the chaos of the city would devolve into something worse if there is no leadership to hold the front. During the monster outbreak, Jin was able to hold the fort and he could make rash but decisive actions which turned the tide for the city. The same goes for Sir Peru Peru. Jin is hoping he could do the same." Lynn presumed to understand what Jin was thinking of.

"I honestly think he just does not want a change of Lords. Sir Peru Peru had been rather kind to Daimon and most likely Jin wants him to stay in power to keep things status quo." Yinn gave her opinion as they climbed up the walls of the mansion with their grappling hook guns.

The fire continued to rage but the Grey Bears did not care mainly because they were Mechanoids. They calmly scanned the area and did a retro analysis with the help of the System on where Sir Peru Peru might have been based on the attack on the Lord's mansion. The System deduced that Parry City's Lord should still be on the second floor of the lofty place.

It did not take them long to find a guard unconscious but still breathing. "I will take this guy," Tellie said as she felt that she was the least useful member in this current rescue mission which Yinn agreed to let her go.

"Contact HQ to send a rescue helicopter into this particular location. There is word that the airspace had been cleared." Yinn ordered and Tellie complied to the dot. Even if it was not Sir Peru Peru, the human guard was still a life that needed to be saved. The call for the rescue helicopter early could have given Sir Peru Peru the needed time saved to go to Daimon for treatment.

"I sense life!" Click said as her ultrasonic frequency detector produced the shape of a human beyond the crushed door. "It's weak though! We better hurry!"

"Are there crevices?" Page asked and Click quickly tuned her ultrasonic detector and nodded her head when she sent a pulse through the crushed door.

"Give me the optimal route to human life, the repair nanobots might only be useful to Mechanoids but at the very least it can provide some data on the human's condition." Page said.

"No, let them latch on this. I have been creating this during my spare time and it should also be able to pass through the crevices." Click said as she took out a small metal box that fits through the ammunition compartment of her battle vest. When she opened the box, it was a mechanical insect with a slightly saggy tail.

Page did not hesitate to ask for any extra information and did what Click suggested. The Saggy Tail Insect got activated and it flew through the crevice while Click, the main star of the entire squad for the search and rescue mission started to take out tools used meant for rescue.

From hydraulic cutters to ram jacks and extension spreaders so that the debris from the ceiling does not drop on them. Click started to do her job trying to make sure the crushed door could be open and at the same time maintaining the stability of the accident site.

"I will attempt to move in from the outside. With my martial skills, I should be able to have access to the window." Lynn said and Yinn agreed to the plan. If Lynn was able to find an alternative route to the injured, it would be the most optimal.

"Click I will take your Ultrasonic Detector and search for other survivors," Diaz said but Click did not register since she was focused on cutting the debris down.

In the meantime, the mechanical insect was able to move through the crevices, and the camera on it noted that the survivor was indeed none other than Sir Peru Peru. Click informed the rest that they were delighted that they managed to find their target on the first try which prompted them to work more decisively.

Yinn subsequently followed Diaz to search for other signs of life while Click commanded the Saggy Tail Insect to latch itself to Sir Peru Peru's mouth. The nanobots that Page possessed eventually sneaked into the Lord's nostrils and situated themselves into the frontal portion of the maxillary sinus. Yet that was more than enough to transmit information about Sir Peru Peru's vitals.

In the meantime, the insect spit some sort of gel to cover the nostrils and placed its tail into the mouth of Sir Peru Peru. As gross as it sounded, the insect's tail expanded and contracted forcefully. It was only later Page realised that this mechanical insect was something similar to an inhaler mask.

The only difference between it and an inhaler mask was that it was able to push oxygen (though in small quantities.) thus enabling the survivor to continue breathing and not taking in the smoke.

An ingenious design that Page felt that Click must make a few more in the future as part of her emergency kit.
