Chapter 85
A massive boulder jutted out like a rocky mountain.
Beneath it, two Arachne units lay wrecked and entangled. One belonged to Giselle, the other to Enrico.
Judging by the impact, the legs of the Arachnes were twisted and bent at odd angles, scattered haphazardly.
“Descending. One, two......”
Before the rescue team even landed, they jumped down. Sliding down ropes with ease, the first thing they did was check on Giselle and Enrico’s condition.
I grabbed a rope with one hand, sliding down and setting foot on the ground.
Ilay refused the paramedics’ examination. Dusting off his palms and clothes, he walked toward me. Looking closely, faint traces of battle remained on his body. Others would assume they were just signs of an accident.
As Ilay approached, he explained the situation.
“Our Arachnes suddenly lost control and flipped over on their own. The moment a blind spot was created as we tumbled beneath the rocks, they attacked me. I got hit by three or four shock tranquilizer rounds—I nearly died.”
Despite his words, Ilay wore a relaxed smile. He forcibly pulled the tranquilizer darts from his arms and legs, then stuffed them into his pocket. He must have taken the shots while shielding Giselle.
Our high-performance combat prosthetics wouldn’t be neutralized by just one or two shock tranquilizer rounds to the limbs. At most, they would cause some sluggishness. For real effectiveness, they had to hit the central nervous system.
