Chapter 1095: Emergence of Another Competitor (1/2)

Jiang Fei was getting more excited by the minute. The thought of finally acquiring the Main Engine room was actually making his heart beat faster. It made sense since once Jiang Fei obtained the Main Engine room and secured an almost unending power source, Jiang Fei could make almost all of his problems vanish. He could have 0542 make as many equipment and weapons for himself, revive Nina and Sylphy who were being kept out of the game, and even have a chance to develop a method to break pass the barrier that had been keeping Level 5 out of his reach.

“Is it here?” Jiang Fei asked when they had reached the location pinpointed by 0542. They had only taken several minutes to travel since Ariel had teleported them close to the capital.

“Yes, captain.”

“Good. Let’s start digging.”

Jiang Fei took out the excavator from the ring and thought he should start working as fast as possible. They were just too close to the military base and anything he did, he might alert them to his presence.

“Wait!” 0542 suddenly blared out.

“What’s wrong?”

“The Main Engine room is the most important part of the ship. It has been equipped with the strongest and deadliest form of security. Digging down now might set it off,” said 0542.

“What do you suggest me to do?”

“Please wait until I shut the security system down. I need to connect to the security system and establish a link to obtain authority over it. Once I deactivate the security system, only then, you can start digging.”

“How long would that take?”

“I… cannot provide a time estimate… I will try my best,” said 0542, stammering, for the first time.

“Alright then,” Jiang Fei answered, without suspecting anything. He then had Ariel and Isabella take care of the surroundings as he configured the excavator. As soon as 0542 gave the green light, he would start digging at max speed.

What was supposed to be a few minutes became half an hour. Jiang Fei, Ariel, and Isabella had started to feel restless as 0542 did not return with a successful report. This was the longest time 0542 had taken just to establish a link to a part of Braveheart.

A few moments later, Isabella staggered, as if she had felt something.

“Something’s wrong!” Isabella cried out and quickly came to Jiang Fei’s side.

“What is it?” Jiang Fei asked. Amongst the three of them, Isabella had proved herself to be the strongest. If there was anything wrong, she would be the first to sense it.

“Someone’s down there!” Isabella cried out.

“Are you sure?” Jiang Fei barked with both eyes opened wide. Down there was where the Main Engine room was. If someone was there, Jiang Fei would lose it.

“I am sure. There are 13 of them! All are Level 5!” said Isabella after she concentrated for a little while.

“What?! 0542, have you been sleeping this entire time?!” Jiang Fei yelled.

Now was not the time to be afraid of a security system. There were people down there that were stealing his Main Engine room!

At this point, Jiang Fei put the excavator away. It would take hours with that thing before he could reach the Main Engine room.
