Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang nodded and then walked down the podium, from the side he watched Ameris providing people the details of the mission. The purpose of letting Ameris handle this was to observe the reactions of the selected teams.

He could tell from the reactions of the ladies that they were all excellent seeds for this job. Shi Lang nodded and made his way to Zone two to check on Rosa Blues and Darcx. The elevator took him down and Shi Lang soon found the two people sitting inside a room surrounded by a pile of books.

He did not bother them and went inside the monitoring area. The whole base and the forest on the shores were laced with micro cameras. Shi Lang asked an operator, “Can you show me the footage from the obstacle course?”

The operator nodded and quickly tapped on the console in front of her. Everyone in the base was aware that some superior Terran people came to help the Queen with some things. Darcx and Rosa had been with them. The operator said, “Sir, the footage is displayed on the big monitor.”

Shi Lang watched Amelia running through the woods like a ghost. He watched for a few minutes, then he asked the operator, “Any way we can talk to her?”

The operator nodded and then she said, “Sir, you can speak to her now.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Amy, run slow, trigger a few traps. Let me check the extent of difficulty they have set.”

Amelia almost fell to the ground when she heard this. The girl deliberately slowed down her pace and then she began to trigger the traps. After a few minutes when she finished running, Shi Lang said, “They call this difficult. Come back, time to overhaul the definition of an obstacle course.”

Amelia said, “I pray for the poor souls.” as she made her way back to the base.

Shi Lang said, “Get me a list of phasor canons, trip mines, motion-sensing nades.”

The operator asked, “What do you have in mind, Sir?”

Shi Lang smiled and said, “Time to give you all an obstacle course which can make you run for your lives.”

…

The terrans began to guide a hundred troops in the Queen’s snare wholeheartedly. Five days had passed and tonight the Alpha Team of the secret division will be performing their mission for the first time.

Shi Lang, Amelia, Quinn, and Rosa sat inside the monitoring room. Darcx and Jenkins were shadowing the team. All the other teams were able to watch the mission progress from the gathering zone. Their mission was going to be the study material. The alpha team had received training from Shi Lang personally.

They could swear that even the hardest days in the palace guard training could not compare to an hour with Shi Lang. He made them run through the obstacle course, then he will spar with them. This was something they could not handle, in just five minutes, Shi Lang was breaking their bones. Then he will dump the people in the infirmary, and the cycle will repeat as soon as they get conscious.

…

“This is Chanel, we have a positive ID on the target. Requesting permission to commence.” the voice echoed in the monitoring room.

Shi Lang pressed the button on the table and said, “Permission granted.”

“Commencing mission.” said the lady.

The team leader turned the radio silent. At this moment, the door of the monitoring room was knocked at. Shi Lang said, “Come in.”

Ameris walked inside, she had returned to the side of the Queen during the past few days to help her with the installation of the animal agents. Zysha was having a blissful life, she was bossing around the animals and training them in the past few days while eating exquisite meat served to her. Nexalia liked her a lot.

Ameris asked, “I apologize for the delay, something came up at the last moment, what is the situation?”

Amelia said, “Have a seat first.”

Ameris sat down and Quinn said, “The target is located inside a bar on the outskirts of a small town. Seems like this guy was cautious enough and fled the capital.”

Rosa nodded and said, “All the opposition spies are like this. Thanks to the intelligence department. Without them, we would not have found his tracks.”

Ameris asked, “What do you mean by that? Intelligence Department is collaborating?” in surprise.

Shi Lang chuckled and said, “More like a hostile takeover.”

Ameris was surprised, even more, this statement confirmed that the terrans were able to bypass the cyber defenses and get inside the mainframe without being detected. She wanted to ask them how, but then she would not have understood anything anyway.

She sat down and focused her attention on the screen. The scene displayed that the alpha team was gradually surrounding the target, they were posing as a group of girls traveling together and came out here to rest. Darcx had given them three objectives. The first was to neutralize all the intelligence department personnel, guarding the target.

The second objective was to secure the target, and then finally, leave the place intact. It may seem like the objectives were easy to cover, but in fact, it was not easy as it was to hear. Shi Lang did not say anything and just watched calmly.

Amelia asked, “What do you think? Want to bet?”

Quinn chuckled and said, “Ace, what do you want to say?”

Shi Lang shook his head and said, “I have no idea, also, this is not a joking matter. One mistake and the intelligence department will be onto us. So, everyone shall better focus.”

…

Chanel, the alpha team leader, was sitting at the bar counter with another team member, Hethal. The latter asked, “The target has two guards.”

Chanel nodded and said, “I suggest we divide them and then take them out.”

Hethal nodded and said, “I shall notify Mara and Jun.”

They both held two glasses of wine in their hand and moved around the club, and found their teammates, who were dancing and scouting the guards of the intelligence department. Chanel said, “Mara, you are with Hathel, take out the guard on the left and then the guy on the right is left to us.”

Chanel and Jun held a glass in their hands and they moved to sit down on the side both of them looking at their target. Mara walked over to the dance floor, she positioned herself near the guard, suddenly Hathel tripped and the glass of wine in her hand fell, splashing the content over the guard sitting on a chair.

The guard reacted, “Hey, watch it.”

Hethal walked up with a goofy smile and held his hand as she said, “I am sorry, my love.”

Her sultry voice made the man freeze and at this moment, Mara walked up behind the man. This scene was being watched by the second guard. He watched his partner be entangled with two women and decided to intervene and focus on the job when he was also approached by two ladies.

One of the ladies suddenly grabbed his collar and with tears in her eyes she said, “You heartless bastard, why, why did you leave me?”

This girl was Chanel, before the man could react, one more pair of slender hands grasped his shoulders and a lady with an enraged face asked, “Who is this bitch?”

They did not give the man any chance, Chanel and Jun forcefully dragged the man out of the club, these were the people from the intelligence department. While the other guy had been stabbed with a poison needle and then dragged outside of the club. The people only thought of them as one getting super lucky while the other was unfortunate.

A lady at the bar counter said, “At least someone has love in their lives, whether it is to gain or to lose.”

The man next to her said, “At least they have a life.”

The lady nodded and picked up the glass at the counter and gestured to clink it with the man as she said, “To life and the unpredictability.”

The man also did the same and said, “To life.”

They clinked the glass and chugged down the drink. The lady said, “Do you want to get out of here?”

The man looked around and said, “Yeah, why not.”

The two stood up and slowly walked to the door, the man asked, “It is rare to see a lady taking the initiative to reach out to a man and take the initiative.”

The girl smiled and said, “Sometimes a woman should make a move first.”

They reached outside the club and just as the door closed, the girl jumped up and delivered a round house kick to the temple of the man.
