Chapter 71: The Rescue
“Help me! I’m Hilda!”
When Sun Jack saw the message, he froze. The exhaustion and boredom on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by a racing heartbeat. Was he excited? Afraid? He couldn’t tell.
His hands trembled as he took several deep breaths to steady himself. Pulling a cable from the external system, he plugged it into the computer. “Who are you? How did you find me?”
“I’m Hilda. You know who I am! We’re at this location. Hurry! Bring weapons—quickly! He’ll move us soon!” Along with the urgent message came a set of coordinates, pointing to the Warton Industrial Zone.
“Is this a trap?” That was the first thought that crossed Sun Jack’s mind.
But he stood up immediately, opened a loan platform, and maxed out his account on weapons and ammunition.
If it was real, he’d stage a rescue. If it was a trap, he’d crush it. Either way, he had to go. What if it was real?
Seeing a swarm of drones fly into the room, Tapai silently opened his armor panels and began loading grenades one by one.
