TERRA EMPIRE: ON THE EVE OF WORLD WAR

Episode 42: REINFORCEMENTS

While climbing the emergency stairs, Professor McQueen looked back and found all****** followed suit. The potential of seeing the success of their mission of assassinating the President of America makes those people so enthusiastic to participate. The leader******* even had a chat with one of his men about how lucky it was to side with them.

“After this is done I am sure there will be a question how the person tried to run but still killed as well. And it shows how pathetic his decision is.”

“As the saying in their own book says who does not want to lose his life, it will lose his life.”

The leader of ******* was astonished, “I just found out you read their book too.”

Professor McQueen simply smiled inwardly, just let them laugh happily at this moment. Dreams that they will win this battle. They would all regret half dying to let him in and activate the Fire Ball.

Arriving at the CEO's workspace on the fifth floor, Professor McQueen is saddened to see the door blown up and several pieces of furniture smashed to the ground, including a monitor screen. Fortunately the other equipment he needed for ‘trapping’ para ****** with the hunter drone hoax is still worth using, and it allowed him to access the Fire Ball.

“How is Professor?” the leader******** asked after the scientist had done a thorough examination. “I'm sorry if the damage is too severe.”

“Only need to repair some circuits and connect them with the monitor screen. After that we can start..”.

“Good! Get on with it, Professor..”

The******** was so concentrated on the strategy given by Professor McQueen that there was no longer strict guard, especially when all hostages had been issued thanks to the Professor. Jordan and Lana were able to re-enter the building with ease after both took the same detour when they exited Machina Factory.

“Are we sure we'll do this?” lana asked as they paused for a moment, only a few meters away from the back door near the parking lot.

“We've come this far, right?”

“What idea are we going to do to save my father?”

“Log in there and get him out as fast as possible.”

“Soever?” the girl raised an eyebrow.

“So much!” Jordan nodded. ”Come..”

The two teenagers settled on the first floor, they had to do it carefully so as not to be caught by the *******. But it seems that everyone is not on that floor. The two confirmed it after Jordan looked into the hall, the room where the hostages were being held, and also to the rest of the floor.

“They are nowhere,” Jordan shook his head.

“I think to you ******* it follows daddy. Want to see what it will do.”

“And if you were your father, where would you take them?”

“To a room where I can lock up all the criminals inside. A room that makes it difficult to open in any way until the SWAT team enters and submits to ******.”

Both of them looked at and said simultaneously, “Lifth floor CEO workspace!”

Lana's right…

Unfortunately there is one flaw in that plan.it takes one person in charge to make sure everyone comes in and locks the room from the inside. And that person must be Professor McQueen. What Professor McQueen did was desperate and could have ended in death for the man. The******** that panicked when confined in that particular room would definitely shoot Lana's father if she refused to open the door. That's what Lana was afraid of when her father told her about his plan. The girl was not wrong to say her father wanted to kill himself…

The two teenagers decided to follow directly to the fifth floor, and they obviously could not use the elevator because the object was still in a damaged condition. So the emergency stairs are the only way. Arriving at the top of the emergency stairs on the fifth floor, Jordan and Lana no longer find the two bodies******* lying there at the time they fled with the President and the Secret Service. Presumably the******* have removed the bodies elsewhere. This makes the emergency stairs much better.

Jordan was just about to open the door of the emergency stairs when he heard the conversation from outside, “After you, man?”

“It is not easy to carry this heavy monitor TV alone. Through the stairs anyway.”

“Commander has asked you. A little later, it feels like he himself will go down to pick you up.”

“Yeah, maybe it's good he did that,” his friend responded then the two men chuckled.

“Do you think the Professor will succeed in doing his plan?”

“If he fails, I will shoot him myself. How dare he tell me to take this heavy monitor TV and take all the hostages out. My annoyance has not gone away because it has not managed to catch the bastard who hit my nose with the emergency stair door.”

“Indeed so look more pug. But I don't know if it was before or after your nose hit.” taunted his friend.

“If you're not carrying a monitor TV that the commander asked for, I've joked you..”.

The sound of the two became faint once it veered into the corner of the hallway and only then did Jordan dare to come out of the emergency stairs, then peek out from behind the hallway wall. From his position he can see things well. Exactly what they thought, the ***** was indeed gathering in the CEO's office, there was only one person standing guard at the door and the person was smoking.

Professor McQueen must have been in the room, doing something to buy time so that Lieutenant Mills and his men could storm at the right opportunity, that is, when the Professor managed to lock the ******* in a special room. The man had no reinforcements other than the two of them, Jordan and Lana, so that he could survive the desperate plan.

All Jordan and Lana have to do before the SWAT team brutally storm is break into that den, eject the Professor without getting caught by the*****, and lock the criminals inside. Jordan had some ideas to do that but he had to get rid of the man standing guard in front of it first, or at least get him inside.

The boy returned to the emergency staircase where Lana was waiting for him. The girl stared anxiously, “You heard the chatter of the two criminals? They'll kill dad if it fails.”

“We can save him. But I need some stuff for that.”

“What do you need?”

“Tear bags, gas masks, and weapons for close quarters fights.”

“That's it?”

“Yeah, where can we get it?”

“We're at Machina Factory, Jordan! Here I can get anything. We go down first to the fourth floor to pick up the items you mentioned earlier.”.
