XENON WINGATE

We proceeded on the mission.

Alfred, Carlo and I moved like ghosts in the city of snow and ashes. The more we push through, the more horrifying deaths we encounter. This war is so one-sided. Humans are armed with rifles, tanks, choppers, and even mechanical drones, while the dragonoids are armed with machetes, lead pipes, slingshots, and some stolen guns. All that’s happening is a complete massacre.

The gigantic Monolith Dragon can no longer be seen, and it's a good thing. That monster seemed to act on its own and not loyal to any faction. Back there, it just uses its photon beams to vaporize everything that moves, whether it is a human, a dragonoid, a machine, or even a collapsing building. It’s something like it has been summoned just to wreak havoc to make the city a much chaotic place.

“We’re here,” Alfred said.

We finally found ourselves on the foot of a short hill. In front of us is a stone barricade that is surrounding the hill itself, and on top of the hill is a mansion of some sort. There are several human guards surrounding the vicinity, and I lost count after twenty.

“Shall I blast it now?” Carlo said as he pulled a tower shield on his back.

“That will draw out attention, piece shit,” Alfred said as he looked around us and saw the buildings behind. “Let’s wait for a nearby explosion and we’ll blast the wall at the same time. It will cover the noise we're going to make.”

I looked at my watch and waited for five, ten, fifteen, twenty seconds. At the twenty-third mark, a skyscraper fifteen meters away from us crumbled, giving a weak tremor around.

“Now!”

“Juggernaut Smash!” Carlo presented his tower shield, and his body was immediately covered with thick metal plates. Four boosters spawned on his back, and he used the force to blast the nearby stone wall.

We managed to enter inside without being caught. The collapsing of the nearby building got the guards’ attention, so they didn’t realize that we three are crawling right behind them. We can easily blend in the thick snow with the help of our white Eskimo suits.

There are guards on the front door, on the terraces, and there are also snipers on the rooftop of the mansion. To prevent attracting unnecessary attention, Alfred threw the sword to the open windows and he used Blink to teleport the three of us inside.

“Set your heartbeat sensors,” Alfred commanded.

We followed by revealing our smart gears which are touch screen pads stuck on our wrists. The smart gear gave out a GPS schematics of the whole mansion, together with the glowing red dots. All those red dots are detected heartbeats of the enemy, and it all appears that nobody except us is inside the house. It’s really weird that there are guards all around the mansion, but there is no VIP inside to be protected here. It’s like they are guarding something. And that means we are on the right track.

“This mansion is owned by Doctor Cheng Du, who works with the Alterran Warfare Commission. He is in charge of creating deadly superweapons for this empire. We need to get all the dossier we can get regarding military magic and technology.”

“Roger.” Carlo and I saluted. And then, we dispersed.

The mansion consists of three floors and one underground. Alfred went to the top floor, Carlo went to the middle floor, and I stayed on the ground floor. I searched for anything that is of use to us, but the only thing I found on this floor are the dining rooms and the kitchen.
