Chapter 1097 - 0542’s Irregularity (1/2)
“This is beyond vexing!” Jiang Fei snarled through his teeth. The people that Ariel had pointed out were real people. They were China military soldiers. Jiang Fei, Ariel, and Isabella had gone all out during the fight, causing vibrations so strong that they could be felt physically. People in the military base did not need to rely on machines to know that something was up.
The only thing that 0542 had done right that day was obtaining the authority of the Main Engine room. With a single touch on the metal wall, the entire facility was stored away in the ring’s inventory. Once the entire facility was gone, a dark space of more than thousands of empty square meters was revealed.
“They’re coming!” said Ariel, standing in front of Jiang Fei to protect him from whatever that was coming.
A loud explosion followed her words and a large hole appeared right above their heads. A large number of soldiers, Androids included, could be seen.
“Put your hands behind your head and come out of the hole quietly!” A loud voice, spoken through an amplifier, could be heard from the surface.
“ARGH!” Isabella screamed before releasing a violent storm of lightning at them. The soldiers and Androids bore killing intent, thus triggering a fight response from Isabella, who was still in the Berserk state.
“Attack! Attack now!”
“We can’t! All our equipment were damaged! We have no means of attacking now!”
“Hold on then! I will call this in!”
…
With no working instruments that they could use, the soldiers sent in the Androids to hold down the fort. An almost unending wave of Level 4 Androids jumped down to the caverns, all destroyed almost instantly as they entered the cave. Isabella was ruthless to anyone who dared to try and harm Jiang Fei. The military had Level 5 Androids but at this point, they only had two functioning ones left. They knew the Androids would be utterly destroyed if they sent them in.
“No need to fight any longer. We have… achieved our goal. Let’s go back. Ariel, fetch Isabella and get us out of here,” said Jiang Fei. If he allowed Isabella to continue to fight, she would eventually chase them back to the base and destroy it entirely. It was too dangerous, not to mention too damaging to her due to the Valium inside her bloodstream.
To be honest, Jiang Fei had little to no care about the soldiers of his own nation. He was more worried about Isabella’s condition. He could not allow Isabella to burn out the last remaining Valium he had with him.
“I’ll try…” said Ariel as she mustered all her powers just to get close to Isabella. As soon as the violent, indiscriminate lightning storm was over, Ariel quickly flashed herself to Isabella and grabbed her and Jiang Fei before teleporting away to the Winter Islands.
The moment they reappeared, Jiang Fei was violently tossed off his feet. There was a clash of power, between Ariel and Isabella. Although she bore no killing intent toward her, Isabella had misunderstood Ariel’s act of teleporting away as an attack. With unfocused eyes and bared teeth, Isabella held Ariel up by her neck with just one hand.
Ariel struggled with everything she had but she was ultimately weaker than Isabella.
Jiang Fei quickly picked himself up and charged toward the Berserking Isabella and held her from behind.
“Isabella! It’s me! Calm down! There’s no danger here! Only family!” he cried out.
In that instant, upon hearing Jiang Fei’s voice, Isabella immediately let Ariel loose. She froze in place and was seen struggling with something. Her entire body began to tremble as her voice started to return.
“Ack. Urgh…”
