TERRA EMPIRE: ON THE EVE OF WORLD WAR

Episode 22: ESCAPE THE CHASTITY

The people hunting President Tramp sped up their search once they heard the unrelenting alarm ringing in various corners of the building, including to the place where they were. Let alone hearing the threat of the leader from the walkie-talkie. He never messed with his words, let alone the gang of criminals knew dozens of bombs had been installed in this place because they themselves installed it. Just waiting for time to be detonated with a detonator held by the leader.

Even though they are all ready to die doing this task but wherever possible they complete it without the need to sacrifice their lives, and all they need is one. It should have been an easy task since most of the President's bodyguards had already been crippled. There were only three people who were escorting, certainly not something that was difficult to defeat the guards who were only armed with pistols with limited magazines.

It didn't take long for the four people to complete the sweep on the second floor, where many cursory desk cubicles seem empty on the floor – most employees may have gone home or joined the gala dinner at the hall below – but after checking carefully it turns out that in some rooms there are still employees who still work outside office hours, a small number of others accidentally fall asleep at the workbench while waiting for the results of his observation on the computer, until those people don't know the development below. The unfortunate employees who were in the wrong place and time met their death under the rain of gunfire.

The four hunters continued the search to the third floor which also contained a work floor only more laboratory-shaped. Empty conditions are also found on the floor, it's just that the floor was completely empty because no one found it even though they had searched all over and checked into every crack of the table and room as they did on the second floor.

Back the person carrying the walkie-talkie told the troupe, “The three floors are clean. We haven't found them.”

“Speed movement to the following floor!” reply voice behind walkie-talkie.

“Roger!” then the man said to the others. “Now we check the fourth floor!”

Two of the ****** rode the elevator while the other two chose the emergency stairs, in such a way that it was impossible for anyone to escape from them.

Jordan still had no idea how he could have such a vision, something unprecedented. Is it because she worries too much about her new friend, Lana, or because this voice in her heart is able to give her something magical beyond what she understands?

While Jordan is preoccupied with her own thoughts, Lana constantly nyerocos about her misunderstanding of the intruder's motives into the storage room and how she did it because she thinks Machina Factory has a sophisticated security system.

"A system like anything has its weaknesses" Jordan responded to Lana's remarks.

"I'm sure this must have something to do with insiders. There was no way an outsider could infiltrate without being discovered," Lana still remained insistent with her stance.

Sikap Lana must have something to do with his admiration for the father so that the girl is difficult to accept if the results of her father's work can be infiltrated by others easily. The teenager responded, "Then why are people trying to break into this place?"

"That's what we need to find out."

“Why didn't you ask him more when he pointed at us earlier?”

“Before..if it wasn't for you that made him shoot himself.”

What a funny expression that comes from the mouth of Lana who will be shot dead by the criminal if Jordan does not help him immediately. But if in retrospect it had a point too, they could have known more had the person been asked and invited to dig, let alone Jordan managed to attract attention with Persian, Persian, it's not really his skill.

TING!

“What...” Lana was confused when she found out her friend pulled her back into the hallway. But then he heard a cry from behind them.

“HEI YOU TWO...STOP..”.

Two people with guns ran after, the uniforms of those people were similar to those worn by the person who pointed at them before. It's true that Jordan said that the man could not have come alone, but who would have thought the criminals were more than one, moreover, the two of them came from the elevator while they thought the villain friend was somewhere on this floor.

“Is there a ladder we can use?”Jordan asked while running.

“Emergency ladder.”

“Where is it?”

“Second hallway turn left.”

Jordan and Lana stayed a few steps towards the place where the emergency stairs were when the door opened from the inside. What first came out of the door almost made Jordan freeze, it was the same end of the weapon that the second carried****** that came out of the elevator.  Whoever's behind that door is almost out when Jordan doesn't quickly put his shoulder to the door leaf with a run, push the door shut and at the same time force the person behind the door back inside, then push the iron skid to lock it.

“Come running..” Jordan dragging Lana's hand.

Behind the door that had just been locked by Jordan, there was a rumble accompanied by the screams of more than one person. The shouts in foreign language prompted the two criminals who were chasing Jordan and Lana earlier to shoot the two teenagers.

“KKYYYAAAAAA Lana shouted while bullets rippled behind them. Luckily, the two had already run away from the emergency staircase door. The shots were missed thanks to the narrow hallways and dead corners of the building.

“Sial! It turns out they are increasing..” said Lana who apparently had turned her head.

Jordan realizes the door he locked will not hold criminals on the emergency stairs. Both of their friends who are outside will definitely open soon before adding more******** who are pursuing. At least he can take a little of their time so that he and Lana can secure themselves by getting away from the ******* armed with it.

Both of them had passed through the storage room, Jordan had thought to go in there and take refuge in it because the place must have a good protection system. Lana just thought otherwise, the girl instead pulled Jordan's hand to leave the place, “Don't be there. It's not safe to hide there.”

“Then where should we go?”

Lana did not reply, the girl continued to run towards the southern part of the building and Lana's choice left Jordan confused…among the many rooms on this floor could be the girl taking them to the warehouse where the cleaning tools are stored…
