As a side division compartnt of this seemingly most important vault, its construction was just like the others. Though the compartnt was dimly lit, they could still make out its structure.
From how sturdy-looking the walls of the surprisingly large compartnt looked, they knew that this was another wall made from reinforced Arcanite tal.
From how large and well-designed this place looked; it was hard to believe that it was just a compartnt of the main vault. It looked too luxurious to take it as just a storage compartnt.
Unlike the main vault that was in a tallic grey color, the walls of the compartnt were painted in a bright white color. This brightened up the atmosphere a bit, reducing the tension in the air.
After observing thoroughly, they were not able to see anything that indicated danger so they finally started moving forward. They moved steadily while keeping their alertness, as their eyes road around in circles to continuously confirm their temporary safety.
What ca as a relief to them was that despite its large size, what they ca here for was directly placed in a conspicuous place for them at the center of the small compartnt room.
A large grey-colored electronic safe was placed in the middle of the room, confirming their speculation that this was one of the research data compartnt storage.
Following Clarks orders, they all ford the semi-turtle shell formation, as they escorted their best technical soldier closer to the safe. Despite their surroundings looking safe, he was not ready to take any chances.
After getting close enough, the soldier swiftly went forward after he placed his military bag down. He went to work imdiately, as he started bringing his work materials from his bag.
Being one of the main safes keeping so of the most valuable data in the whole military research base, its security firewall was definitely top-notch. Everything about its virtual safety was well-tuned and in place.
Originally, the Apocalypse military organization already decided not to use security asures of the big 5 standards, to prevent their kidnapped scientists from knowing or even guessing their identity.
Despite the indoctrination procedures that the scientists went through after training them further, they did not tell them their real identity to avoid any variables or complications from erging.
If it beca known to the world that one of the big 5 was secretly kidnapping scientists, the outco would not be favorable to them. Public opinion was a very potent weapon, to help them maintain their rule.
The only reason why the Spartan soldier could attempt cracking the firewall, was because it was not to the standards of the big 5.
After testing the sturdiness of the security firewall with his equipnt, his expression beca grave as he quickly started explaining his discovery to Clark. He already expected this slightly, but confirming it still dampened his mood.
From the results that his equipnt gave him, despite the security firewall not being to the standards of the big 5, they were of the standard of super high-grade organizations like the Roman empire organization.
There was no way that he could deceive the A. I and safely crack the firewall with his current knowledge and equipnt, the only way was to use brute force. He was apprehensive, as he did not know if any ans were employed against hackers who try to breach it through brute force.
Despite his dilemma and hesitation, he listened to Clarks suggestion as ti was not on their side.
They did not know if their safety was temporary. Even if it was permanent, it was still wiser to start their actions early and finish before any new variable erges.
He quickly brought out his support hacking equipnt, as he dived straight into the virtual world. His consciousness blurred, as he seed to enter a world full of data.
His brain worked in sync with his implant, as he started programming counterasures to fight the safes A. I on the spot. He could not deceive it, but he could definitely fight and cause it trouble.
The soldiers remained alert, their breathing tense as they carefully surrounded the working soldier to protect him. Fresh sweat flowed out from their foreheads, as the old one got dried up, repeating like an avatar circle.
Despite the tingling sensation from it, they stood rigidly to detect any complication at the fastest speed.
After 5 minutes of intensive programming, the working soldier heaved a sigh of relief as he finally succeeded in dealing a huge blow to the A. Is virtual integrity.
Before he could celebrate his success, he was startled as ominous robotic words started sounding out of the safe.
[Ding!! Intruder detected, Intruder forcefully erased the security firewall. Initiating critical counterasures, Critical counterasures effective imdiately. Hum!!]
Before they could take in the words that ca out of the safe carefully, a tir countdown from 30 minutes suddenly erged on the walls of the compartnt. They were shocked, as they quickly found out that it was a tir to a bomb blast.
The demolition expert among them imdiately ca out to try if he could hamper with the countdown. After trying for a minute, he shook his head, indicating that this was above his league.
Clarks face turned green on seeing this, as he thought of the implications of what just happened. If all the other compartnts were like this one and the other soldiers could not also stop it, then this military base was going down in less than 30 minutes.
The explosion from such an energetic exotic bomb as this one was not sothing that this base could survive.
Clang!! Before he could think more critically, with a loud sound a hidden part of the compartnt was suddenly opened.
Horrified expressions overtook their faces, as they saw an exobeast slowly coming out of the just-opened cage.
Grrr!! The Bengal tiger growled on leaving its cage, as it glared at the humans before it with malice. Scars from unimaginable experints perford on it took the role of its strips, making it look more ferocious.
The soldiers suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, when they felt the aura released by it after it fully erged. Fortunately, this fierce-looking tiger was an exobeast with strength only equaling a 3rd rank high-grade soldier.
Even though it was still stronger than them individually, with their combined strength, they could deal with it.
Eliot, continue with your work. Just focus on it, I want that safe to be open in at most 8 minutes. Clark quickly gave a new order, as he tightened his grip on his spear.
Boom!! Dust billowed from its initial location fiercely, as the tiger finally picked up speed, sprinting at the humans before it.
Its predatory eyes were red from rage, the only thought currently occupying its brain was how to more efficiently snap the heads of these puny but wicked creatures.
Whoosh!! Clarks figure also blurred, as he sprinted from his position to et this exobeast. Even if he was not a 3rd rank high-grade soldier, he had a lot of confidence in his current strength.
Bam!! The dagger-like claws of the tiger finally collided with his spear, as the force made him feel like he just hit a mountain with his bare body.
Despite the uncomfortable feeling from the huge force and the sudden change in speed, he tried to persevere as veins erupted all over his body. His legs dug into the tal floor, as he aid at contending against this deadly predator strength for strength.
He tried, but the exobeast was still stronger than him. It was already a miracle of his genius that he was able to endure for so long.
His figure was finally thrown back, as he quickly adapted in mid-air. Before the tiger could regain sufficient montum and charge at him, he did a backflip in mid-air before stabbing forward with his spear again.
Ptui!! The tiger was not prepared, as it ran straight into the spears path. It roared in pain, as its left eye was destroyed from the unexpected stab. The pain stimulated its killing instincts more, as its advance grew more reckless and deadly.
Now!! Clark already rolled back before this, as he imdiately gave his soldiers the green light to join the battle.
Tu! Tu! Tu! Tu! Bullets impacted the thick hide of the exobeast, as half of the lee soldiers rushed out to help kill it. He already made his killing plan on the spot, after knowing the strength of the exobeast.
With half of the lee soldiers helping him plus the ranged soldiers firepower, he could kill this Bengal tiger. He instructed the other lee soldiers to stay behind and protect the working technical soldier if the need arose.
With the arrival of so much help, the fight beca much easier and enjoyable for him.
Bam!! Bam!! His figure moved swiftly like a phantom, as he dodged all the claw attacks and bites of the tiger while his spear repeatedly struck its thick hide.
After receiving consecutive stabs and slashes, blood finally started flowing from its hide. The bullets of the ranged soldiers worsened its situation, as it beca completely suppressed.
It could only roar helplessly and angrily as its injuries grew further, while it only left glancing blows at its opponents armors.
Clang!! Clark reacted fast, as his spear parried a deadly strike from the tiger that was aid at one of the 1st rank high-grade soldiers.
Despite his quick interference, the soldier got terribly injured as his armors energy was finally depleted. He coughed out blood, as he obeyed the instructions of his leader to fall back imdiately.
Clark slowly removed his blood-stained spear from the thick hide of the tiger, as it finally breathed its last under his strike.
After a relatively short battle of only 5 minutes, the Bengal tiger exobeast finally died to his spear. Though the other soldiers helped, he dealt more than 60% of the damage it received.
He paused with the other soldiers, as they tried to catch their breath. Though they succeeded in killing the exobeast without them suffering any casualties, it was still an extrely fierce battle.
After 30 seconds of rest to stabilize their body tabolism, they finally turned back to face their soldier who was working on the safe.
