Expelled From Paradise Chapter 7.2

Checking with her map, Angela headed there.

Kristine was able to get rid of her pursuing missiles. She rounded the area and came to the robots from behind. She destroyed them all at once. From the 10 arhans, only 4 were left. The accelerators of one were damaged, so he couldn't maneuver. As a result, only three were left: Kristine, Hilde, and Veronica. Soon new security forces were to arrive, but the trio didn't want to appear before them with nothing.

Kristine inquired, "Veronica, what's with the satellite tracking system and connection? Still not working?"

"No, they're alright. The attempted hacking was just a snag, everything works perfectly. But it will take some time to restart."

"If we connect, there shouldn't be any difficulties. Track the positions of the containers. As soon as you find them, destroy them immediately."

"Got it!"

"Angela herself wouldn't have been able to do this. She has an a.s.sociate somewhere."

Frightened, Hilde looked around, and said, "So the uncontrolled AI didn't do all of this?"

"The traps were made by someone who knows him. Surely, it's one of the locals. In any case, we'll have to deal with more than just the new arhan model. Be careful."

Then, an alarm sounded. Hovering over them, Angela's new arhan model opened fire. She was advancing, showering them with fire from an a.s.sault machine gun. The AI support of all three of the arhans began an automatic evasion from enemy fire. Hilde's arhan flew up, leveled, and opened fire out of Gatling machine guns, built into both its hands. The noise of the shots was deafening, in a minute it could release 6,000 20mm cartridges. The ground was completely torn. Pieces of concrete and asphalt flew in every direction. And yet, not even a single bullet touched Angela's arhan. The incredible reaction speed allowed it to evade all the bullets.

Kristine opened fire from the laser guns, and Veronica from a large-caliber rifle, but everything still missed. The forecast of the movement and ballistic a.n.a.lysis was done by Pioneer, but the mobility of the new arhan model was a step higher.

Kristine tried to contact the new arhan model.

"Angela! What are you thinking?!"

There was no answer from Angela. However, the new model, moving in a straight line, turned sharply and fled.

"Wait! At least say something!"

Kristine continued the pursuit, with Hilde and Veronica behind her. And here, the trio was attacked from the back, but they were able to avoid it. The speed of the new arhan was simply incredible, they could hardly keep up with it.

Kristine and Veronica hastily climbed onto the roof of a building. Hilde hid inside of a large residential complex.

Dingo was waiting on an overpa.s.s in his buggy.

"Hid in a place, where I can be easily caught."

He pressed a detonator b.u.t.ton. The concrete under Hilde's arhan exploded. The ground fell through. There was a parking lot below.

"A trap?!"

The lower part of the body was stuck in the rubble. Hilde struggled to get out. Dingo blew up the other charges. Continuous explosions were heard in the residential complex. Glancing up, Hilde turned pale. Ten floors of the complex began to sink. With a loud noise, the building collapsed. The arhan's legs were clamped between the debris, it simply couldn't move. It was too late to use the accelerators.

"h.e.l.l! Screw you!"

She shot at the collapsing building with both the Gatling machine guns. It was all useless. The building collapsed, and the arhan was crushed with concrete and metal frames.

The pressure on the overpa.s.s was huge. Broken columns of the road began to fall. Dingo ran to his buggy. He hurried away from the collapsing road and a cloud of dust formed because of the fall. Nothing was visible because of the smoke. However, it didn't look like the arhan could get out. Such traps were installed throughout the whole city.

On choosing buildings into which to install the charges, Dingo was guided by Pioneer's information, thereby choosing only the buildings that were guaranteed to collapse.

Dingo breathed out a sigh of relief, and then his face became harsh again.

"It's probably not easy for them in physical bodies."

A physical body can be destroyed, but a backup copy of the virtual personality was stored in their spine, so a thing like "death" was nothing to them. Although they could experience what diseases and sufferings are.

"And it's even worse for her."

Angela led a battle on a roof of one of the buildings with the security service's arhans. Kristine and Veronica attacked her together. Under incessant fire, Angela had no time to relax. She repulsed with all her strength. She had to do her best; two professional pilots, working together, were not at all simple enemies. Thanks to the high accuracy of the calculation system, she somehow managed to evade, but their support systems worked as a pair too, which made their movements even more complex and too difficult to counterattack. The expense of aimlessly spent ammunition was enormous. She heard a message that the cartridges from machine guns and short-range missiles were all used.

"Where is the closest container?"

<8 degrees,="" 400="" meters.="" offensive="" type.="">

"Got it."

She pushed the lever and went down sharply. In between the abandoned buildings, she saw a container in the form of lighting. Following her, Kristine and Veronica also saw it.
