I Became A Mech Soldier After Waking Up in The Future. - Chapter 61

“Tell me the truth, why did Sister Bailey come out of the city? Why do you have to keep this information secret and don’t tell the others?” Jeanne asked.

But the other party didn’t seem to want to talk about it, “Jeanne, don’t ask me about this. The situation is pretty complicated around here.”

“Sistine, you know my personality,” Jeanne said in a chilling tone, “don’t provoke me to use some of my means against you.”

Sistine didn’t speak for a while. However, perhaps because he was familiar with the methods of the eldest lady, he reluctantly spoke.

“Sister Bailey had a big quarrel with Dean Rudeus ten days ago about the change in the weather measurements in the southwest, including the Himalayas, in recent months. She thought it might lead to disastrous consequences.

But Dean Rudeus quickly dismissed her conjecture, saying that the change was a normal phenomenon and that they couldn’t make a move just because of a unproven conjecture.

Furthermore, due to the development of the new weapon, all resources of the institute, whether they be manpower or financial resources, are allocated to this project. The Institute had their hands pretty much tied in this matter.

So, Sister Bailey’s investigation proposal was ruthlessly rejected.

Sister Bailey was really angry that she hired a four-person adventurer team at her own expense and went out of the city without authorization with the survey equipment. And you know the rest of the story.

We contacted the military and police in our main city and planned to open a secret rescue channel. I just arrived at the Institute of Sciences, and you happened to contact me. With your intelligence, you might have some guesses, right?”

“There were only four people escorting Sister Bailey on this trip, it was too little for an official assignment from the Institute. Also, I see the stuff left at the scene was too crude. I knew at a glance that Sister Bailey came here privately.”

“It’s been a while since the accident happened, so the automatic rescue signal from the bracelet ID should’ve been sent back. According to the relationship between your family and Dean Rudeus, since she came out without permission, there is a great possibility that he would ask you to open a secret rescue channel, so I just tap in to the channel and I finally connect to you,” Jeanne briefly explained her thoughts.

“Tell Dean Rudeus, don’t try to hide this matter anymore. Sister Bailey was probably captured by a first-class scorpion predator. The danger is now off the scale, and she might lose her life if you don’t quickly make a move. I don’t think they should play anymore for just a little self-interest, if something happened to her it’ll give them more harm than benefit.

Also, the third squadron would be fully responsible for the rescue, and the military and city guard should not interfere. Time is pressing, I hang up, and then contact.”

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Jeanne cut off the video call. Meanwhile, Keiko also completed contact with Captain Amanda at this moment.

“Do you have a rescue plan?” Keiko asked Jeanne.

“Looking at the traces, the blood on the ground didn’t seem that much, which proves that Sister Bailey was not seriously injured, but was dragged away. The only reason for the Scorpii Predator to drag the prey away without killing it immediately is to use her body as a seedbed,” Jeanne’s expression turned solemn, but her voice was still cold and composed.

She continued, “Autumn is coming, and it’s also their mating season. We only have eight hours to rescue Sister Bailey and her team. After that, the scorpion predator would open the belly of the prey and lay the eggs. By then, it would be too late. There is not much time, probably less than half an hour, but the scorpion predator’s nest should also be not far from here. We might find it soon.”

Keiko nodded, Jeanne looked up at her, and then asked:

“When you notified Captain Amanda about this accident, did you say how many people you asked her to bring?”

Keiko shook his head and replied, “Speaking of the possible situation of the enemy and the general context of the matter, the captain responded immediately.”

“That’s good. Captain Amanda should have a good idea. When it comes to going deep into the first-level predator’s lair, ordinary soldiers are basically sent to death, and Captain Amanda would pick up experts,” she paused, then looked at Keiko and said, “be prepared, you will definitely have to go inside later.”

“That’s natural, it’s our duty to save people,” Keiko answered as a matter of course.

Ring, ring, ring—

At that moment, Jeanne’s bracelet ID suddenly rang. She connected again, and found that it was the male officer named Sistine who called her again.

“Jeanne, I got two directors of the Institute of Sciences along with a ten-man elite rescue team together with me, and I’m on my way there by helicopter right now. It is estimated that I’ll arrive there in about three hours. Your father already knows this matter. His order is that the third squadron must not act rashly and wait for the rescue with us.”

“Bullshit! Sister Bailey could be done in three hours! It’s impossible for my father to give such an order,” Jeanne was extremely angry, and the volume increased.

“I just conveyed the order. Whether to believe it or not, it’s up to you. If you and the third squadron don’t obey the order, I couldn’t help it, but you are responsible for the rest,” Sistine may also be provoked by Jeanne. With a stiff tone, he hung up.

“What’s the situation?” Keiko asked. Jeanne was not in conference mode when she was on the phone with others, so she couldn’t hear it.

“It’s okay, let’s go to the cave first to save time.” Jeanne replied calmly.

“Good.”

The two stopped talking, lowered their bodies, started using their weapons, and quickly went around the depths of the jungle with a tactical trot.

Following the traces left by the monster along the way, they quickly found the entrance to the cave. The entrance was inconspicuous. Predators are generally bulky, but this hole is only more than two meters high. Two meters high is easy for people to enter, but it is a little too small for tall predators.

Jeanne looked at the darkness in the cave and her expression hardened; she get a bad premonition about this whole situation.
