Chapter 1697 Who Will Know? -Part 19
"Care! Those are their own citizens!" Jin shouted as Diaz's reflex nearly killed a group that they had accidentally found when they were trying to hide from suppressive fire in a house. However, the military soldiers did not know and did not care that they even threw a grenade into the house.
"Fucking hell!" Diaz took unplugged one of her chest armour plates and slammed it onto the grenade and Jin used the force of his Maqi to suppress the explosion so that it would only be contained inside the circular armour plating.
"You guys alright?" Jin asked and The mother who was holding onto her child and covering his mouth nodded their heads silently. "Great. Try to move slowly to the back even further for your safety and we will get out of here right now." The two of them nodded their heads again which was a signal for Yinn to charge out after she had taken a breather and reloaded her weapon.
"Last stretch 50 metre!" Yinn yelled as she fired her weapons at the stupid idiots who had thrown the grenade into the building. All of these were once again captured by the livestream and the people of Parry City sighed a breath of relief for the innocent victims.
"You sure this is 50 metres? Do not feel like it!" Diaz said as she turned her head to the direction they were supposed to go and it was crawling with multiple roadblocks and tanks blocking their way. In fact, at that point in time they also heard a whistling noise which Jin was extremely familiar with.
The whistling noise of artillery diving down.
"What the fuck is your PROBLEM, HOW IS THIS A TAKEDOWN?!" Jin's anger got the better of him as he used his inverse eyes to locate the long range artillery shell and charge his gun with a sudden overwhelming amount Maqi. He was about to use his powers again but before he could do anything, the shell exploded in mid air.
"That's a clean shot. Tellie!" Click announced from above them and started shooting 60mm canisters toward the roadblocks with her grenade launcher. Smoke started to emerge from those cannisters and they were none other than choking gas with a small mix of Click's specialty. Some hot sauce spice within it.
It was so choking and hot that it rendered most of the human soldiers incapable of retaliating. Their eyes were bleeding with spice and their breath was short to combat the choking feeling. At the same time, Click threw down a hazmat mask built with a filter that could dispense her special choking gas.
Jin managed to catch it and the trio rushed through the roadblock as if their lives were dependent on it. Mechanoids were gunned down and Tellie used the opportunity to do some tank practice. Her Beams were precise enough to melt the gun barrels and they were not able to shoot anything. Thank goodness they do not have any enhanced mecha armour within the mix of troops that manned the roadblocks or else this plan might not have worked for them.
And just as they took down the last Mechanoids the five of them rendezvous at the front of Diamondz Office. Most Daimon City's people believed it was a win as Diamondz Corp's office could provide some political immunity, especially for Jin.
However, before they were able to take a step into the office, in fact, when Click tried to open a door, they heard a 'click' sound. Before they could register the consequences of that, the entire Diamondz Office exploded right in front of their eyes, taking them with it.
The Livestream was instantly cancelled but everyone beyond the borders of Parry City and in Daimon could hear the explosion. The long range cameras who were attempting to record all of the Interim Leader's exploits caught the explosion in real time as well and those in the military who were well versed in explosions knew that it was not a normal explosion.
It was a Thermobaric explosion, meaning it was a type of explosive that worked by dispersing clouds of aerosol? gas or powdered explosives that will be a hundred percent more energetic than a conventional explosion. It shone through the darkened skies of Parry City and everyone who saw it could feel that no one would ever be able to survive such an attack.
The shockwave shattered glass, and windows and even knocked away those disabled tanks that were near to office site. Doors and debris were flown away from the explosion site and to the point even surrounding buildings collapsed unable to withstand the power of the residual shockwaves.
Every single Daimon Citizen who saw the attack knew that this could only be the work of Parry City Citizen to set up such a deadly attack within the office, especially after seeing how they had already condone the area and not allowing anybody near the area.
"SOLDIERS OF DAIMON. STAND STILL. DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH A STRAND OF HAIR OF THOSE CITIZENS WE SAVED OR I WILL MESS YOU UP MYSELF." General Grieves's announcement through the military communication lines was loud and clear.
He knew that if he did not give any accurate instructions, the hearts of those soldiers who had seen and served under Jin would not be able to take it at all. General Ost once again sends a message to everyone within the city to stay calm and not do anything rash.
"We have no confirmation that the Interim Leader had killed in action. We will need concrete evidence to determine the facts before accusing Parry City's military of performing such atrocious acts on the livestream. All I ask is to help the innocent while we ascertain the facts." General Ost knew that what he said was stupid, dumb, and even overly ridiculous.
Everyone had seen the scale of the explosion and as the smoke dissipated, the entire Diamondz Corp Office had been wiped out from the face of this world. How unsure can one be to determine that their Interim Leader Jin had not been killed blatantly by Parry City's Military? "They might think how the military can be so egoistic of themselves to believe Jin was like a god and survive everything." General Ost sighed to himself...until he realised that he might have uncovered something.
