Chapter 1289: Prison Heist -Part 4
“Man, that space shuttle was really quite cramped. Kraft said as he stretched his hands and legs the moment he got out of it. The System had teleported a custom space shuttle which was not particularly deemed very fit for flight into the Mecha World. Rei did not finish fine tuning the mechanical portion of it but it was still space worthy to be used for an ambush mission after receiving coordinates from Peppers.
“Well, it sure is, especially for one who could have transformed into a fox for the time being.” Milk complained.
“I wanted to! You simply did not allow me to rest on your beautiful -urgh!” Kraft received a punch to the gut even before he could finish his sentence.
“Don’t you think this group has way too much firepower for a prison break?” Qiu Yue, the Red Panda Cultivator and Empire building Sub System User queried as she walked beside her new master, Zeru.
“I doubt so. Never estimate the enemies’ numbers especially when you are going in blind. Besides, it would be a great experience and experiment fighting in space. You will never know when we are going to fight in zero gravity and that would no doubt be a test of your skills and balance.” Zeru explained.
“Looks like not all of Jin’s employees are knuckleheads.” Ke Loong, SeaMesh CEO exclaimed as he could feel the adrenaline rushing through his body. Even though he was guaranteed to come back alive from the fight, it did not stop him from being the only few from Earth to travel to space, let alone fight.
“Just don’t leave my side.” Kong Rong said as he did not like the situation they were in after seeing Jin blasting a hole in the maximum security prison spaceship and subsequently sealing it up with his astute manipulation of matter via chi and magic.
“Hou Fei, you honestly could go ahead and enjoy the fun. I can stay behind to look after the ship.” Jin said as he was picking up a manual to read while waiting for the rest to depart from the space shuttle.
“Nah, Boss. That is where you are wrong. The escape route is always the one that would be targeted no matter the situation. So, with the least amount of effort, we definitely get quite a large fish coming to us. ” Hou Fei sat right beside the captain’s seat and saw the crowd descending through another hole which was created by Mr Crafty. “But damn, the gates and corridors sure are big in here. No wonder, Peppers said there was no way you could teleport the maximum security prison spaceship back to our world. You could fit like forty Void Beings in here!”
“Peppers clearly has the means to do it if she partnered with the System but I doubt she would like to vomit rainbows for an extended period of time.” Jin said as the manual he read was full of corrections and edits indicating that Rei had indeed been actively working on the manual for the space shuttle, fulfilling his promise as a part time spaceship engineer for Jin while working his ass off to make sure his Gunndam movie would be a success.
“Ah. I should go look into that studio that was making the movie for him. They better have some results after all the money I pumped into their studio.” Jin thought to himself and then Hou Fei continued to survey the surroundings outside the space shuttle.
“With any luck, we might be fighting against a few mechas judging by the gigantic space corridor that we are in.” Jin blurted out while he continued to flip the manual but at that moment, he and Hou Fei could hear a rumbling noise to their right. Their eyes simultaneously shifted to see the incoming commotion and it looked like Jin hit jackpot on the comments which he should have kept his mouth shut with.
“Do you wish to fight that yourself?” Jin now sarcastically asked Hou Fei.
“Does this space crap have defences on them? Or heck, a robot that I could use?” Hou Fei laughed slowly and bitterly at the current situation where they saw a heavily armoured Mecha scanning the perimeter as it tried to force open the door that had been shut tight. The Xeon Union soldiers on the other side of the door were scrambling to manually open the giant doors because their safety protocols stopped them from entering the room for some reason. They could only assume that the ship had suffered enough damage from Peppers’ initial wave of explosions that their ship was in full lockdown.
But even with the door currently barring the seemingly heavy armour mecha from going through, its head was turned towards the space shuttle and sounds of rotating machinations were heard even though Jin and Hou Fei were in the cockpit.
“From what I read, this is not even the finished product. We only use this as a way of deception.” Jin replied as he now realised what kind of sound it was.
A minigun. No, two miniguns twice their size were rotating at speeds that could not be seen with the naked eye right at the top of the heavily armoured Mecha’s head.
“Then guess we have to show them that ‘magic’ does exist in this multiverse!” Hou Fei said as he brought out a full mask with a Snake design from his storage ring and wore it to hide his face just as what Kraft and the rest did as well. After which, he placed his hand on the glass window in the cockpit and created a chi barrier to block it from damaging him.
“Welp, that means I am the one who will have to clean up this mess,” Jin said as he too wore a full Panda mask to hide his identity if their ship blew up.
“We could…you know, let the ship explode and we go somewhere else.” Hou Fei said as he feared that he could not hold up two miniguns with bullets possibly with the radius of a car tyre slamming onto his chi barrier. (It might be exaggerating but at that point in time, he felt it was that way.)
“The System is being an ass and gave me a System mission to protect the ship as much as possible,” Jin replied as if waiting for the System to give an explanation for its sudden irrational behaviour.
But all the System said that there would be a reward to it.
