Chapter 276 - Memories

After the three of them left the small courtyard…

The leader looked at the two armored warriors. Hesitating on the decision of whether or not to take the warriors back to base, the leader thought for a short while. If he didn’t take the chance, then this trip would be a total loss, as all their firearms were confiscated by Zhang ShengLi. With several soldiers left, they can still secure one of the warrior without problem. If they descended the mountain, he had an escape van waiting.

The problem was, what would happen if the warriors woke up?

There was a solution! It was to tie them up so tightly that they can't move to fight. Then carry them back to base and they can experiment as much as they want. Surely, their electric saw will be able to crack it open? Or…there would be experience after the kill?

The leader explained the plan to his followers and the more they found out, the more afraid they became. They were going to walk up to the armored warrior and tie it up, while praying that it wouldn’t wake up. For safety’s sake, they were going to use all the ropes to prevent escape.

The leader couldn't open the large gate exit after tying up the warriors. So the only way out was to leave the same way they came in. A few soldiers climbed back up the wall to escape. The rest of the soldiers were below the wall and moved the warriors closer to the wall.

With the soldiers’ combined strength, they lifted one body halfway up the wall. The rebooting sequence of the armored warriors finished about that time, and it woke up. The armored warrior discovered that it was suspended in the rope, so it opened up a hidden compartment. Out from the compartment came a flexible electric saw, that quickly cut out all the ropes.

At that moment, when Raincoat realized he had messed up. Quickly he ran in the other direction. The soldiers on the top of the wall jumped off onto the side of the large courtyard and were the lucky ones since they were able to escape.

The soldiers that remained within the wall were all inside the small courtyard, the quicker ones were able to hide behind the collapsed Research Building. The two armored warriors shot lasers aimed at the slower soldiers. One by one, the soldiers fell.

Raincoat and the rest of the soldiers were on the wall, so they were able to rush out to the side of the large courtyard. They only took a few steps, and heard sounds of an engine roaring through the night sky. The heavyweight helicopter aircraft was right above the large courtyard. They had discovered Raincoat and his soldiers. Down came a shower of lasers from the helicopter.

Sadly, Raincoat and the soldiers were just regular humans when it came to receiving a laser attack head on. Little did they expect that from their own ambush, they would pay with their lives and weapons.

It was at this moment that Raincoat finally understood why Liu Gan had allowed them to remain alive. It was… to use them as decoys. These decoys will struggle for their lives as long as they could and buy time. Even if it was just a minute or two, it would help Liu Gan escape.

They had done their duty of being a cannon fodder diversion.

Right about then, Liu Gan had a more personal issue he had to worry about. He really wanted to ask Yin He about everything. But, the situation wasn’t the right time for it. First, they had to leave this sticky situation.

Liu Gan, Zhang ShengLi and the self-proclaimed Yin He escaped from the small courtyard through the camouflaged door, then rushed out of the large courtyard into the woods before the helicopter returned.
