Chapter 129 Lennys Situation 9 (1/2)
The whole space station could house about 10 thousand people.
Most of these people were family of the staff members, mainly the scientists and researchers.
In this enormous piece of metal wondering in the space, there was everything the people living there needed.
There was huge floors dedicated only for entertainment such as a shopping and a garden for relaxation.
As for other enormous floors like the greenhouse and water depot, water recycler, etc. Were heavily guarded by guards and periodic patrols.
All of the Independent Scientific Union station were built similarly, the main difference was only in size, and capacity.
If the target of the invaders was a person and not something, it would take some time for them to find the person in such big station.
Forge was sure that as soon as they find what they want, it would be the doom of anyone in the station.
So, she decided to follow through with her plan to get to the escape pods, even if the risks of dying were high.
As she stealthily walked through the corridors, she stumbled across a body that belonged to one of the facility's guards.
Forge crouched by the body and retrieved the weapons in the body while holding back her uncomfortable feelings growing inside her.
She put the holster that had a pistol at her waist and carried the rifle across her chest.
Although she wasn't a soldier, she have received training in close combat and also weapons. Under the rule of the Miniknog, every citizen is forced to learn how to fight, at least the basics.
Carefully scanning every corridor while walking forward she finally reached the emergency stairs.
On her way she met with some invaders, but she just hid herself in rooms until they were far enough.
Just when her hand grabbed the knob the door opened by itself.
”Eh?”
Forge blankly stared at the two invaders wearing black tactical armors that opened the door.
The two soldiers were also dumbfounded and stared at Forge for a moment before they finally recovered.
As they were trained, they recovered from the surprise faster than Forge and lifted their weapons at Forge.
Once she recovered, she was met with two muzzles pointed at her.
The soldier didn't hesitate as his hand tightened and the finger over the trigger moved.
Forge was filled with despair, she closed her eyes and in a last struggle also tried to lift her weapon to take a few shot at the soldiers.
*Bang*
A gunshot echoed across the empty corridors and stairwell.
”What?” Forge was waiting for the pain, but it didn't come.
*Bang, bang...*
Two gunshots followed after the first one.
*Blam*
Forge fearfully opened her eyes and just caught the sight of one of the soldiers falling at her direction while the other one fell on the ground beside her.
”Ah...” Forge exclaimed as she stepped to the side and dodge the falling body.
*Blam*
The black armoured soldier fell head first in the ground.
