Chapter 1688 Who Will Know? -Part 10
And one of them with the highest percentage that would be hit was undoubtedly the helicarrier. "Cloudie maximise the shield modules NOW!" Jin shouted and Cloudie did as he was told but they knew that if the Mecha Fire Dragon could obliterate half a mansion with its breath, what were the chances of the helicarrier surviving even with its shield at the maximum capacity?
Soon, the Dragon did release his ball of flames towards helicarrier and they thought there was no hope for the aircraft as Cloudie told some of them to jump out of the carrier at that instant. A loud explosion ensued and smoke covered up the scene for a moment that the War Room could not see whether the helicarrier was still around.
It was only after a second later the electrical signals indicated that the carrier did not explode at all. The shields that Diamondz Corp had installed at the very last minute had worked. However, as the smoke dissipated, the truth was bare for their eyes to see as the shields were not the only thing that had been helping the helicarrier to survive.
Lynn was standing there with the hover stretcher behind her they could see that she was badly charred by the burning flames. She too had used her generated chi to create a shield that worked in tandem with the helicarrier\'s shield, allowing the carrier to be still intact despite the tremendous shaking.
"Get her and the hover stretcher in! We are moving out now!" 2LT Cloudie ordered the Daimon Combat Mechanoids to move and they did what he ordered. The Hover Stretcher and the patient on it were fine but not so for Lynn whose metal was still scorching hot that when the Combat Mechanoids held onto it, their hands would burn.
Thus, they quickly turned off their pain sensory system and brought her up into the Helicarrier. This time around, Cloudie did not care about the Parry City Citizens who were desperately trying to climb on board as well. He knew that if he did not move now when there was still some smoke dispersion, they had no chance of going back at all.
But the citizens who wish to risk all else to be on the helicarrier even charged through the Daimon Combat Mechanoids and grabbed onto the aircraft without any care. They believed that if they were going to die, might as well try clinging hard onto whatever they can so they can live. Some of the Parry City Citizens on board also took pity on them and threw ropes in hopes they were able to grab on it.
Yet, doing such dangerous actions had put not only the citizens who wished to risk their lives to do so but also the carrier itself. Cloudie eventually did not care about those who tried to climb aboard the helicarrier and for the sake of the rest of the people who were already within the carrier itself.
He raised this throttle and pushed his aircraft as high as he could so that he could get away from the buildings and any humans who were still clinging to the ropes would not be hit by the buildings as well.? He was not particularly concerned with the humans if they hit the buildings and went splat but rather if any stubborn portions of ropes or humans caused the helicarrier to be stuck. That would be an issue where evasive movements were not able to save too.
Along the way, a few of those humans screamed as they were on the ropes dangling from the helicarrier and Parry City Citizens were shouting at the now locked cockpit to give them a chance to get up first before flying any further up.
A few were crying and screaming but 2LT Cloudie who was a seasoned veteran had no choice in this. Ethically he knew he had to help them and yet he consistently reminded himself that the Parry City Citizens who were shouting and banging on his cockpit were the people he needed to save too. There was no chance in hell he was going to stop just it.
To make matters worse, the Mecha Fire Dragon once again was surprised to see that the helicarrier, the target who it thought it had destroyed was running away from the Fire Dragon. Hence, it howled terrifyingly before sending out another fireball.
Fortunately, this time the Daimon Fighter Jets had already anticipated its attack and sent out even more penetrators to disrupt the shooting of the fireball. It was successful as the fireball was diverted away the moment the penetrators hit the dragon\'s head.
However, what the Daimon Fighter Jets did not know was that the Mecha Fire Dragon already knew it would be distracted and had already prepared another two fireballs which readjusted its aim and shot them.
"There\'s no way I am letting you get them!" One of the Daimon Fighter Jets\' pilots said as he purposely intercepted one of the fireballs with a missile. As for the other fireball, the pilot sacrificed his jet and possibly his life to protect those people who were desperately clinging to the hope that the helicarrier could bring them to safety.
The entirety of the War Room fell into silence for a moment as this was the very first casualty that Daimon had suffered throughout this entire operation. Many more were to come but both the officers and the fighter pilots who had trained in rigorous simulation exercises by Jin had sworn one thing. They were not going to let the helicarrier go down regardless of the cost.
In that one scene, Jin witnessed the beauty and ugliness within humans.
