Chereads / My Road to Rise / Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

Lord Jack, the Starport has stopped transmitting power to the orbital elevator, and the freight elevator is no longer operational.

Without Electricity, the freight elevator cannot be used.

Today's freight elevator has become a steel coffin.

Once trapped inside, it's impossible to break out again.

I have a way out. It's the only way out right now. Staying here will only be a total loss.

Although he didn't know what Lord Jack had up his sleeve, Brian didn't ask much.

As Lord Jack had said, they had no choice.

Today, the rail elevator is a coffin.

There were gene stealers everywhere out there, and they had been trapped in a dead zone.

The freight elevator was the only way out, the only silver lining.

The only person they could rely on at this time was Lord Jack, who was the Alpha.

Lord Jack is the Alpha, the son of the Emperor, and will surely be able to bring them a miracle.

Pull back. Pull back. Alert all companies. Proceed to the freight elevator immediately!

With Brian's command, the soldiers who had just fallen into despair had their hopes rekindled.

Beams of light appeared in the dimly lit freight tunnel.

The soldiers turned on the gun lights on the laser rifles in their hands.

Dense, rapid footsteps echoed through the freight aisle.

From all sides, the Planetary Defense Force soldiers withdrew in the direction of where the freight elevator was located.

Come on, run up, run up!

In the dimly lit freight aisle, figures surged as soldiers ran forward.

Messy footsteps were the single most striking sound in the dimly lit passage.

Although the north gate was closed, the outer gates in the other three directions were left open.

In addition to the disorganized footsteps, the sound of gunfire could be heard faintly in the other three directions.

This is the south gate. They need backup. They're charging in, ah ...

Brian walked briskly with the flow of people in the darkened freight aisle.

Brian chose to ignore the pleas for help from the communicator's radio beside him.

At this point, it's all about keeping as many people alive as possible.

Following the flow of people, Brian hurried into the freight elevator.

By this time, there were over two hundred people in the freight elevator.

Lord Jack. Lord Jack, where are you?

In the dark freight elevator, Brian looked around and called out under his breath.

I'm here!

Just a short distance away, Jack's voice rang out.

Brian rushed over to him.

In the crowd, Brian saw Lord Jack crouched on the ground.

Jack threw a punch, only to hear a boom.

A manhole cover about two meters in diameter was smashed right through Jack.

Grabbing the edge of the hole with both hands, Jack yanked hard.

Click ...

Only a click was heard as Jack ripped Jack's locked manhole cover open hard.

Dropping the metal lid in his hand, Jack looked down.

Company Commander Bryan, let me know when you're ready!

After dropping the words, Jack leaped down and jumped in.

Below was a framed platform, and Jack landed firmly on a beam.

Although it was pitch black down there, Jack was faintly able to see something clearly.

Being able to see the dense and massive cogs around the freight platform connected to the track.

And sixteen huge motors.

Two arm-sized cables were in a fairly neat bundle on the frame.

A short distance away, a huge relay caught Jack's eye.

Sixteen cables just extend from the relay to connect to the motor.

Instead, the relays get their power from a huge transmission shaft.

It can be connected to the transmission rails on the track, thus delivering power to the relay.

The relay then distributes the voltage to the motor.

I don't know if it will work either ...

Coming to the relay, Jack used brute force to make a hole in the relay.

Another arm-thick cable was pulled from it.

Let's hope it goes well, or the mission will fail again.

There was a muttering under his breath and a flash of helplessness in Jack's eyes.

It's a no-brainer; you just have to try it.

There should be no problem in principle; after all, psychic lightning is also Electricity.

With a little power control, it should work.

After that, it's up to him to see if this rechargeable item will last.

Outside, the battle was fought outside the freight elevator.

Red laser beams flashed in the dimly lit passage.

The Planetary Defense Force soldiers formed two lines of defense, one on the left and one on the right, to block the Purebloods from approaching.

In the flashing light of the laser beams, figures surged in the darkness.

A single pureblood roared into the net of fire.

Dense red laser beams struck them mercilessly.

The defense of the armor on their bodies was amazing, but it couldn't withstand multiple laser beams.

Pull back and return to the freight elevator!

Seeing that no one reappeared in the depths of the dimly lit passage, only the purebloods.

Brian knew that there was no one left alive out there.

Even alive, he couldn't withdraw to the freight elevator.

With Brian's command, the soldiers on the defense line backed up while firing.

It was not too fast, but it was not too slow to withdraw to the freight elevator.

Outside, the Purebloods followed close behind, trying to rush the freight elevator.

But they were greeted with even more intense fire.

In the freight elevator, to create a denser fire network.

The soldiers in the front row were on the ground, the back row was crouching, and the last row was standing.

This ensures the strength and density of the fire network.

I'm out of power packs. Fill in, fill in!

The soldiers who had exhausted their energy cartridges withdrew from the line, and the soldiers in the rear rushed forward to fill in.

Just then, mutants began to appear in the darkness outside the door.

The roar of Riemann Rustank's engine could still be heard faintly.

It's a good thing that the firepower from the defense line is dense enough.

Once the defense had a shootable window, the mutants had no time to raise their guns and shoot.

Using narrow spaces to fend off purebloods, the mutants were barely able to do so.

But if a rebel Riemann Rustank drove up to the door, it would be a real jar.

Get out of the way, get out of the way!

Brian hurried over to the wellhead where Lord Jack had jumped earlier.

Lord Jack, all soldiers have been withdrawn and are ready to go!

It was pitch black down there, and Brian couldn't even see where Lord Jack was.

All he could do was yell as loud as he could.

Just below, in the darkness, a blue current suddenly flashed.

Next to the relay, a blue current surged from Jack's body.

Electricity crackled and rattled through Jack's body.

With psychic lightning pouring into the relay from the cable in his hand.

Some of the lights in the relays are blinking.

A moment later, a humming mechanical rumble sounded from the relay.

That's the cooling fan spinning up.

The motors on all sides also growled slightly.

The entire freight elevator shuddered slightly.

Not enough power?

Seeing the lack of electrical power, the blue glow of Jack's pupils bubbled up.

Thicker lightning bolts sprang from Jack's body.
