Chapter 69: Elation
The speed of BCPD’s Unit 3 exceeded Sun Jack’s expectations. Within half a minute, their officers hadn’t yet arrived, but a swarm of drones with flashing red-and-blue lights was already blocking the truck.
“BCPD! Pull over immediately! Upload your dashcam footage! Comply with the investigation!”
The next moment, all the drone rotors abruptly seized up, and they plummeted to the ground like fallen leaves—clearly hacked.
The warning ignored, the assault began. Thunderclouds above suddenly parted, and two missiles screeched through the air, aimed directly at the truck’s cab.
“What the f***! They’re just blowing it up with missiles? Unit 3 is this heavy-handed?” Sun Jack muttered, startled by the sudden escalation.
But before the missiles could strike, the hover vehicle trailing behind the truck activated. A radar-like black device extended from its underside, causing the missile warheads to shake violently. Just before reaching the truck, they detonated prematurely.
The massive shockwave pushed the truck from the left lane to the right. But this was only the beginning. Two jet-black fighter jets burst through the clouds, heading straight for the hover vehicle.
With the battle unfolding overhead, Sun Jack knew this was the perfect chance to slip in unnoticed. Riding Tapai, he rushed to the truck’s left side and activated his cybernetic eye, glaring sharply.
