I Became A Mech Soldier After Waking Up in The Future. - Chapter 97

The time was tight. Keiko knew that she needed to go out as quickly as possible. Without much time to think, she put on her military uniform and, instead of taking the stairs, she opened the window and jumped out.

Although she was on the third floor, it wasn’t that big of a deal for Keiko. After landing on the ground and rolling on the grass, she immediately took advantage of the dense bushes and walked hunched over behind them, sneaking around to the side of the square.

There were many deviant tents all over the square, making it rather difficult to pass unnoticed. Furthermore, aside from guarding the gate, there were many soldiers from the 180th Air Force soldiers spread across these tents.

Looking at the situation, Keiko frowned. It was quite unfavorable for her because, even though they couldn’t see Keiko, she also couldn’t see their movement. An accidental encounter was highly probable.

She couldn’t afford to be rash at the moment because, had she been found out attacking another troop, not only her but also the whole third squadron might be implicated.

Furthermore, their plan might be jeopardized and the deviants here would suffer the most.

Fortunately, Donna’s team was already waiting outside the hospital wall, and Keiko was going to meet them now.

Under the cover of the bushes, Keiko dashed to the left side of the wall and then stepped on the wall lightly, climbing over like a ghost cat.

After reaching the top, her feet stomped the wall fiercely, giving Keiko the momentum necessary to jump over the wired barbs and glass shards on the top of the wall.

Crossing the wall, a dull thud could be heard as she safely landed.

She looked left and right, searching for the sign of Donna’s team, and soon saw someone flashing a flashlight at her in a dark alley not far away. So, she quickly scurried out and into the alley.

The surroundings were completely dark; she couldn’t even see her own shadow. Although she wasn’t afraid of the dark, the lack of vision made her quite uncomfortable.

Then, a voice sounded in her ears; it was Donna’s.

“Second Lieutenant Lee, it’s me, Donna. Frode’s people have been withdrawn, so you only need to deal with the people from the 180th Division. This is for you to wear. Our people have stood by in the opposite building and are ready to direct your next course of action.”

“Roger that,” Keiko took the things that Donna handed over and replied in military-style.

Although Donna had retired from the army, her persistent efforts to help other deviants had garnered Keiko’s respect for her.

Then she turned around, walked out of the dark alley, and saw a wireless intercom headset in her hand.

She put on her earphones right away, switched it on, and heard a girl’s voice coming from the speaker.

“Second Lieutenant Lee, I’m Little Nine. Please return to the hospital again and we’ll clear it from the inside out.”

She heard the words and jumped back on the other side of the wall. It happened that she had the same idea as the girl on the other end of the call.

Though her voice sounded quite young, Keiko sensed that this girl was a seasoned strategist and planner.

As the saying goes, you really can’t judge the book by its cover.

Shortly, another command came from her headset.

“Second Lieutenant Lee, there is a man in the front. After disabling him, turn to the right, and there is another one next to the second tent from the right.”

Keiko rushed forward stealthily, akin to a phantom in the dark night.

A male soldier was standing in the grass taking a piss when someone suddenly struck him on the back of his neck. He instantly fell unconscious.

After disabling the first target, Keiko followed Little Nine’s instructions and quickly turned right, sneaking up to the tent.

The second person was squatting beside the tent, smoking a cigarette. This time it was a woman. Keiko covered her mouth from behind and dragged the struggling soldier into the grass behind them and, just like before, gave her a quick hit on the neck.

The female soldier didn’t say a word and quickly fainted.

“Next, go forward. There are two people between the two tents on the left front.”

Keiko saw a man and a woman who were hiding in an inconspicuous corner, enjoying their making-out session.

Keiko stepped forward with a cold expression, put down his left and right hands, and ruthlessly smacked the backs of the necks of the two of them with great precision.

The kissing couple gasped and then fainted in the next second.

Keiko dragged all the people she had knocked out behind the bushes and tied them together.

“The last one is behind the tent north of you. He’s coming towards you. Don’t move.”

Keiko crouched down behind the tent and was about to take action when suddenly she heard someone call her from behind.

“Savior! What are you doing here?”

‘Crap!’ Keiko shouted inwardly for a moment and then hurriedly turned around and escaped. As she ran, she heard someone yelling from behind.

“What’s going on? Who’s there?!”

Keiko dodged and hid in the grass; the soldier had come over, attracted by the noise.

Seeing the deviants who called the passing figure just now, the soldiers guessed that the man knew the identity of the trespasser.

The soldier squinted his eyes at him and asked him in an interrogating tone, “Who did you call before? Answer me!”
