Technology Laboratory

Rescue

Three helicopters flew to the heights of the official shelter, the destination of which was the Dea family sanctuary that Dimas is currently in. After some deliberation, colonel Bayu decides to lead the rescue of Dimas and takes several soldiers in a third helicopter.

"Where are we going to do the mission this time? Usually we only use steel cars but now we use helicopters directly" Yang spoke was a soldier who had just joined this year and still had little experience in direct combat.

"I don't know where we're going, but from what I've heard we're going to save a genius scientist who says he can make a nuclear fusion reactor" replied another soldier who was also at the same age as him.

"Nuclear fusion? Why not tell me that the scientist we're going to save is making a time machine" The soldier rolled his eyes in disbelief at what his colleague said.

The fellow soldier also only shrugged his shoulders because he also did not believe the information regarding the researcher. The two remained silent while hearing the conversation of the other soldiers who were also riding the same helicopter as them, a conversation from the soldiers in front of them caught their attention as well as the other soldiers.

"Say the scientist we're going to save is a madman with a little bit of an edge on his brain, he said that their place was currently being surrounded by monsters and refused to go from there if not picked up by helicopter" said one of the soldiers.

The atmosphere in the helicopter became silent leaving the sound of roaring wind and helicopter propeller that continues to spin. In the next second the sound of laughter from all the soldiers who heard the words of the previous soldiers rivalled the roar of the wind and the propeller.

Colonel Bayu sitting next to the helicopter pilot did not hear what the soldiers behind him were talking about, but the sound of laughter that was able to rival the sound of helicopter propellers still caught his attention so he turned to look at them all. The sound of laughter disappeared instantly as if someone had muted the sound of laughter, the colonel looked at all of them with a serious and fierce look so that they all did not speak anymore.

"Stop kidding, we'll be at our destination soon so be prepared!" Colonel Bayu said to them.

After a few minutes of air travel, three helicopters from the official shelter arrived at the outermost point of the zerg-invaded area. The helicopter didn't fly too high so they saw clearly what was below where there was something pitch-black the size of an adult roaming down there. The tracks produced by the steel car driven by Dimas and the four soldiers who followed him were clearly visible along with several black figures lying near the tracks left behind by the steel car.

Colonel Bayu saw the scene using night vision binoculars so he saw that the black figure turned out to be an adult-sized ant and they began to move to chase after the helicopter group after hearing the noise produced. The soldiers who had just been reprimanded by colonel Bayu became a little bored with the atmosphere inside the helicopter so they saw the scenery below to ease their boredom. Although there was no light that made it difficult for people to see in a long distance but as a soldier they all naturally had good eyesight even in a dark environment.

One of the soldiers looking down found a neighborhood that should be white because snow instead was pitch black and was seen moving following their helicopter. The soldier continued to pay attention to the environment below, making the other soldiers also look down and see the snowy scenery below has been replaced by a deep black color that is seen moving after them.

One of the soldiers used a night vision scope to point his rifle down to see what exactly was below. The appearance of an ant as large as an adult immediately made the soldier feel a cold feeling all over his body, the entire place below them were these ants whose numbers were estimated to be in the thousands.

Other soldiers looked at each other and used the scope on the shotgun or night vision binoculars to see what the soldiers had seen before, making them behave almost the same as the previous soldiers did to calm themselves down. As soldiers, the mentality of each person is the best and they all quickly accept the fact that they have to face monsters on a mission this time.

Three helicopters quickly arrived at the site of the Dea family home, seeing the flattened house and a steel car parked right in front of the wreckage. Colonel Bayu picked up HT and spoke while looking towards the ruins of the house and also the zerg who kept on approaching towards them.

Inside the current Dea family sanctuary Dimas and others were sitting around a table in the center where the map of the Earth was projected with hundreds of red dots that became the site of the meteor and debris fall small ones scattered all over the Earth. HT held by one of the soldiers then issued a rustling sound and after that a firm voice from the HT was heard.

"We have reached the mentioned location, it seems like the adult-sized ants or what you call zerg are interested in the helicopter we are riding so they are chasing us. You have about 2 minutes to get out of the shelter before a large crowd of zerg comes here" said the person from HT, Colonel Bayu.

With what Colonel Bayu said at HT, Dimas and others including the Dea family reopened the entrance to the shelter. The sound of helicopter propellers was faint as the door of the shelter opened, they immediately rushed upwards to exit the basement but it turned out that the basement door could not be opened.

"The entrance of this basement seems to be blocked by the ruins of the house after it was previously detonated" said the soldier who was at the front.

The Dea family already knew that their house had been destroyed by Dimas with a portable nuclear fusion reactor to save themselves and avoid zerg's pursuit, so they could only sigh and accept that.

"Surge!" Dimas said the soldier in front of him then took out an electromagnetic weapon from his technology lab disguised by pretending to take the weapon from behind his jacket.

Dimas arranged for the remaining energy to be used at once to make the bullet from stronger electromagnetics, Dimas aimed and shot at the entrance with an electromagnetic weapon that made the wooden door as well as the rubble covering the wooden door bounce away. The electromagnetic weapon ran out of energy directly so Dimas returned the electromagnetic weapon to the laboratory without anyone's knowledge.

"Let's hurry, the zerg won't be coming soon" Dimas shouted to everyone.

They all wanted to ask what weapons Dimas was using but they were still more concerned with their safety so they immediately rushed out and waved at the helicopter circling above them.
