Chapter 175: Security Bots
Well… so much for sneaking in quietly.
Jessica gritted her teeth as her plan to infiltrate Hansen Corp. without alerting anyone went up in smoke. Now it was time to go full throttle.
The guards charged her, electric batons whirring with a low, dangerous hum. Jessica ducked beneath one aimed for her head and retaliated with a vicious punch straight to a guard's neck.
Normally, a hit like that would've knocked any human out cold.
But to Jessica's surprise, it felt like she'd just smashed her fist against solid steel. The guard didn't even flinch.
The baton in his hand crackled with blue electricity as it whistled past her abdomen. Jessica twisted mid-motion, transferring her momentum into another strike. Her fist collided with the next guard's body—hard enough to send him flying into a wall.
BANG.
That sounded like metal.
Jessica narrowed her eyes. Something wasn't right.
She swept one guard's legs out from under him, barely dodging another baton that grazed her nose. Then, with brutal force, she stomped down on his back, slamming him to the ground.
Even after taking hits, the guards' expressions remained blank, eerily emotionless. Like puppets with strings embedded into their joints. As if their actions were preprogrammed.
Their purpose was simple: prevent any intrusion at all costs.
