Chapter 133 The Pursuit 1 (1/2)

The Miniknog soldier at the 20th floor carefully scanned his surroundings with his night vision goggles already implemented into their high-tech helmets.

He was using all his devices and senses to secure the hallways designated to him.

It was a very important mission, to not let anyone get close to the escape pods that were in the floor.

In this mission they were ordered to not let a single person survive, all must die.

So, he was doing his job to the utmost of his abilities.

For the honor of Big Ape and the Miniknog, he must not fail in his mission.

As he was patrolling such floors, he heard some hurried steps coming from the distance.

He immediately lifted his weapon and took aim at the the dark hallway in front of him.

”I'm hearing footsteps at my position. Over.” He said at his radio.

”Stay cautious, we are on the way.” The others in the floor said.

”No, this might be a distraction. I'll see who is it. If you don't hear about me in 30 seconds, presume my death and immediately send someone to stop the killer from escaping.” The soldier said emotionlessly like his life meant anything at all in his eyes.

”Roger that.”

With that, the swift conversation was over between the soldiers at the floor.

Right at end of the hallway, the soldier could see a figure approaching despite the darkness by using the night vision.

From the armor that was the figure was using, the Apex could very see that it was also another one of them, it was the same black armor he and the ones were using.

But the soldier remained cautious and unceremoniously aimed at the approaching person.

”Stop right there and identify yourself.” The soldier coldly asked as his finger rested in the trigger, ready to fire.

The figure followed the orders and stopped at his tracks while lifting his hands, ”ID number MKA97034S.”

The soldiers looked at his PIPS and confirmed the number of the armor of the figure his ID.

There was nothing wrong with the information given, but the soldier was still cautious as it was strange as to why someone that was designated to be at floor 25 would be there.

”Why are you here?” He asked.

”A scientist that survived ran towards this floor. I'm here to stop her from fleeing.” The figure answered.

”Really?” The soldier squinted his eyes at the figure and carefully scanned his surroundings using his visor.

At the corner of his field of vision, right at the end of the hallway in his right, he caught some white blur that swiftly hid itself.

”Do you hear me?” The soldier asked in his radio.

”Yes.” The other soldiers that were in floor and in the same radio channel answered.

”We have a survivor in the floor, be cautious. Over.”

”Affirmative. Over.”

The soldier glanced at the newcomer and lowered his weapon as he said, ”Let's go, we have to capture her.”

”Yes, sir!” The figure saluted and followed behind the soldier.
