Chapter 19: Chapter 19 - Do you guys have any idea how rude that was?
When I arrived at Hanz Workshop, I immediately went inside to meet Hanz.
I was here to pick up the new pilot suit I had ordered a few days ago.
As I entered, Hanz who was sitting behind the counter looking at something on the tablet in front of him turned to me.
"Sir Hiro, good to see you."
"Yeah, good to see you too, Hanz."
After we exchanged greetings, Hanz picked up a heavy-looking suitcase from under the counter and placed it on the counter.
"Here's your order, Sir Hiro. Combat type pilot suit, the armor can easily withstand pistol and SMG bullets, while for AR and MG bullets it depends on distance and your luck. The electromagnetic shield can withstand laser bullets up to level 5 for up to 10 seconds, but for level 6 laser bullets, maybe only once. And the rest is the same as your previous pilot suit, except for the black color along with the gold stripes and the battery usage."
Well, that's better than I expected.
I ordered this pilot suit just in case one day there was a battle that required me to fight while unable to use a Mecha.
"Can I try it on now?"
"Yes, of course. Please come here."
I then followed Hanz to the changing room.
My first impression after trying on the new pilot suit was, heavy.
"Hanz, can't you reduce the weight of this pilot suit?"
"Oh, you have to activate it first, Sir Hiro. If you do that, you won't feel the weight."
Hmm? My previous pilot suit is not like that.
I followed what Hanz said and put on the pilot suit helmet and activated it.
And just like he said, the pilot suit instantly felt light.
"Ooh, you're right. How does this pilot suit work?"
"I made it with the exo-skeleton system, since you said you wanted a pilot suit for fighting, I thought of making a pilot suit that can increase your strength. Your strength will increase by 1.5x if you activate the pilot suit, but well, because of that it also uses more batteries than a normal pilot suit, that's why the pilot suit needs 2 Soladinium batteries to work."
That means the cost to operate this pilot suit is also twice as expensive as a normal pilot suit, huh. Whatever, I guess it's worth it.
"Alright, this is enough. Do I have to pay it on the regular account?"
"Yes, Sir Hiro."
I finished paying for the pilot suit, and decided to go to my next destination.
*******
My next destination is a mall located in the Garden District, I'm here to pick up the ring I had ordered a few days ago.
When I arrived at my destination store, I went straight inside. The clerk at the cash register greeted me as soon as I entered.
"Can I help you, sir?"
"This afternoon I got a message that the ring I ordered was finished, I'm here to pick it up."
"Are you Sir Denzelnas?"
"Yeah, that's me."
"Can I see your ID card?"
"Of course."
I showed the clerk my pilot's license, and after looking at it, the clerk nodded, then said "Please wait a moment." Before he went to the room behind the cashier.
In less than a minute, he returned with a small, fancy-looking box. He placed the box in front of me and opened it, and I could see two beautiful rings inside.
"What do you think, sir?"
"It's beautiful, just the way I want it."
"Thank you, sir. Do you need anything else?"
" No thanks."
He then closed the box, put it in a pouch, and handed it to me.
"Here you go, sir. Please come back anytime."
" Thanks."
I accepted the bag, and walked out.
Since I already paid in advance, I didn't have to pay again.
Great, now there was only one more place I had to go before heading home. I then walked to my car and drove to my next destination.
Since the sun is already starting to set, I better finish this quickly, I already said that I'll be home before dinner, the ladies will scold me if I'm late.
********
This time, I headed to the gun shop owned by my mother's company. I was planning to buy a gun that uses projectile bullets, because for some reason I felt that using a laser gun was very strange to me.
I had called my mother several times to let her know that I was coming, but she didn't pick up the phone. Since I had called her several times and she still didn't pick up, I decided to go straight to the store instead.
However, when I arrived at the store and parked my car in the parking lot, I noticed that it was very quiet, even though it was late at night, there was no way the store could be this quiet.
And I finally figured out why after arriving at the entrance, I could see that the digital board above the entrance was displaying the word "Closed".
If I think back, Alicia did say something about this before, how can I forget about that?
Also, why is Hanz Workshop still open?
Hah, forget it. I'll come here another time.
But just as I was about to turn around and walk towards my car, I realized that the security post was empty.
Where did they go? Are they resting?
No, that's not possible. Even if the on-duty security left for a break, there would definitely be someone to take his place.
Feeling that something was wrong, I went to the security post.
When I got there, I didn't see anyone.
Something is wrong, I can feel it.
I went back to the car to get my pilot suit, I put it on quickly, then went to the entrance.
I then opened the entrance carefully, after I entered, I then looked around me, and after making sure that everything was safe, I looked at the security camera in the corner of the ceiling.
And sure enough, just as I expected, the camera was off.
There was indeed something wrong here.
I then leaned against the wall and turned on my thermal vision, looks like I came just in time, that's because I could still see their footprints on the floor.
Based on the footprints I saw, there were 9 of them, and they were all leading to the place where I chose my weapon when I came to this place before, in other words, the main armory.
I then followed the footprints carefully, however, in the middle of following them, I realized that they stopped and entered a room before walking back to the main armory.
They stopped at the security room.
I saw the footprints leading to the armory decrease, which meant that there were several people inside the security room.
I then raised my thermal vision level so that I could see into the security room, but what I saw there were 4 people lying on the floor.
Now I realized, why the footprints leading to the main weapon room were reduced, it was because some of them were security in this place. From what I saw of their condition, they seem to be dead, and I also don't want to go in there, their corpses might have been given a trap that my thermal vision can't see.
Honestly, I wondered how they could kill 1 person in this security room without getting caught, but since the possibilities were too many, I decided to stop thinking about it now.
I continued to walk towards the armory, I walked through the hallways carefully without making the slightest sound, I really miss my AR-15 now.
A while later, I finally arrived in front of the armory, as I recall, after passing this corner, I would find the entrance to the main armory.
I peeked around the corner slowly, and saw 6 people armed to the teeth, 2 of them were setting off explosives at the entrance of the main armory, looks like they can't open it, huh. Well, as I recall only the manager and some specialized staff can enter there, they wouldn't be able to get in there if they just used a security pass.
They were using various SMGs, I could see UZI, MPK, Vector, and.... I don't know, there were 2 people wearing laser guns, since the models looked like SMGs, I guess they were using level 4 or 5 laser bullets. They were also wearing bulletproof vests, helmets, and masks to cover their faces.
And that means, my armor or my electromagnetic shield should be able to withstand their attacks.
Well, I hope you didn't disappoint me Hanz, now it's time to test how effective the armor and electromagnetic shielding of this pilot suit are.
I walked out from the corner and showed myself, the members of those on guard immediately saw me and pointed their guns at me, even the two who set off the explosives on the door also immediately turned around and pointed their guns at me when they realized that something was wrong.
They looked calm and not panicked, in other words they were professionals.
I walked closer to them and decided to stop about 15 meters away from them.
"Alright, guys. Before we kill each other, how about-"
Before I could finish my sentence, one of them said.
"Open fire!"
After that, I immediately felt a barrage of bullets pass through and hit me.
At that moment, I realized that I had underestimated the armor and shielding of my pilot suit.
My electromagnetic shield could withstand the laser bullets from their laser guns easily, I could indeed see their percentage gradually decreasing, but I was confident that it could withstand them until the bullets in their magazines ran out.
As for my armor, it feels like there are several small fists punching my body, but it's not enough to hurt me, the condition of my armor is also still in Safe, it looks like this pilot suit armor can indeed withstand SMG bullets easily, huh.
Looks like what Hanz said was true.
I then decided to wait until they stopped shooting in order to test the armor and shield limits of my pilot suit, and before long, they finally realized that their shots were useless, and stopped shooting.
When they stopped firing, my electromagnetic shield still had 70% remaining and was slowly recovering, my armor condition was still at Safe, though it was about to enter Caution.
Well, the results were still better than I expected.
I then moved as if dusting off the dust on my shoulder, and said.
"Do you guys have any idea how rude that was?"
They just fell silent at my question.
They then looked at each other and nodded, they then dropped their weapons and took out knives from their waists before walking towards me.
"Alright, no need to talk, just kill each other."
After saying that, I shot my grappling hook into the shoulder of the person in the middle of them, since he looked like their leader.
"Aachk!"
The moment my grapling hook hit him, I then jumped high into the air with the help of the 3D thrust vectoring on the thrusters behind my waist and pulled him towards me, when I had pulled him close enough, I released my grapling hook then aimed the expendable blade in my right hand towards his neck.
And just like that, due to his rapid momentum as I pulled him toward me, I managed to cut that guy's head off like cutting cheese. He then landed behind me, and of course, with his head and body separated.
Although I couldn't see their expressions, but I was sure that they were very surprised. I decided not to waste any time, as I landed in front of one of them on the right, I kicked his knee immediately.
"Aaahh...."
He immediately screamed in pain and fell to the floor while holding his knee.
Hearing his scream, the friend beside him immediately helped by trying to stab me from the left with his knife, but because of my quick reaction, I held his hand that was holding the knife, I pulled my expendable blades back to its terminal, then twisted that person's hand while taking the knife and moved behind him and stabbed his heart with his own knife.
After that, I could see that the other three people were also approaching me from the heartbeat detection radar in my helmet's vision. One person on the left, one person on the right, and one person from behind.
I aimed my grapling hook at the ceiling, then pulled my body upwards, but before I reached the ceiling, I released my grapling hook, and used the thrusters at my waist to backflip towards the person who wanted to attack me from behind.
Although he was surprised to see me land behind him, he was still able to react by turning around and attacking me with his knife, but I easily caught his wrist and broke his hand.
"Aahck....! ....you son of a-"
Before he could finish his sentence, I held his face tightly before slamming his head onto the floor.
I did that because I saw that his two friends had closed the distance and were approaching me from the left and right.
I ducked and retreated backwards to avoid their knife attacks, the two of them attacked me again, I kicked at the calf of the one on the left as he took a step, and parried the knife of the one on the right.
I then shot the leg of the one on the right as he passed me after I parried his knife, and launched myself at the one on the left with the help of my thrusters while dragging his friend with my grappling hook.
I drove my knee into his chin as I flew towards him, because of the fast movement aided by my thrusters, he couldn't avoid it, and I hit him, after which, I flip forward and kneel on the floor then swung my grappling hook forward as hard as I could and knocked the person on my grappling hook to the floor.
*Bang*
There was no way he could survive that impact.
After that, I immediately stood up and turned to the person who was lying behind me after I gave him a thump a moment ago, and stomped on his neck to break it.
Now, all that was left was the person whose knee I broke earlier.
I looked at him, and he was still lying on the floor grimacing in pain and clutching his knees.
"Aah.... Aaah!"
I then walked over to him.
The moment he noticed me, he stopped wincing in pain, and gave me a look filled with hatred.
"Alright, mate. Now tell me, what the fuck are you doing here?"
"I'd rather die than tell you."
Although I couldn't see his expression because of the mask he was wearing, but I was sure that he was smiling.
" Good, I don't want to talk to you anyway."
After I said that, I stepped on his jaw and broke it.
I didn't have time to interrogate them, and if my guess was right, then interrogating them would also be a waste. After all, based on the symbol on their shoulders, they're members of Aldeirmo, and they were definitely just lowly members.
In any case, I'll also be able to know why they're here if I check what's inside their bags at the entrance of the main armory.
Even so, their equipment is pretty good for terrorists, future terrorists are pretty scary, eh.
After killing the man, I realized that there was still one heartbeat detected on the radar in my helmet's vision.
I turned around in the direction the radar was pointing, and saw that the person I had knocked to the ground with my grappling hook before was still alive and crawling towards their bag at the entrance.
"You're pretty persistent, aren't you?"
I then picked up one of their weapons that was on the floor, and slowly walked towards that person.
As I stood in front of him, he raised his head to me slowly, although he was wearing a mask, but I could see his mouth slowly moving.
"You're gonna pay for this....."
"Yeah, of course. I own this shop, you son of a bitch."
*Bang*
I shot him after I said that.
After confirming that he was dead, I walked towards their bags. And sure enough, just as I expected, everything in there was explosive, they were planning to blow up this whole place, it's possible that they weren't planning to leave this place alive and blow themselves up as well.
I really can't understand what the terrorists are thinking.
Whatever, I'm going home. If I'm late, Alicia and Melissa will scold me.
However, before leaving that place, I contacted the Justice Associations and the Imperial Police Department through the computer in the security room.
When I arrived at the parking lot, I took off my pilot suit and put on my regular clothes before driving back home.
And on the way, I realized that I was already late.
"Damn, I'd better prepare for Alicia and Melissa's anger."
I hope the ring I'm going to give them later can calm their anger.
