Chapter 1400 – All Clear!

Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock. 

The clock was ticking, and Yan’s heart was drumming vigorously. 

Freeze!

A drone swished through the air, monitoring the perimeters.

Yan leaned against the tree, subconsciously sucking his belly in, breathing very lightly. 

The trees weren’t completely grown out, being a little sparse, to say the least. 

However, this wasn’t an issue for them. 

With the proper camouflage technique, this would still be enough to cover him up.

For today’s operation, they used drones that didn’t have any heat or night vision with them. 

These were ranked as the lowest level of drones since they didn’t have any extra advantages, apart from covering footage. 

Unlike the Bax-05 that can shoot tiny missiles from them or the Bax-02 model that has different modes like night or heat, these Bax-01 drones were simpler ones. 

There were various reasons why today’s operation would use Bax-01. 

First, to familiarize themselves with evasion techniques from such an enemy like drones. 

Additionally, what if, when out on a mission, the only available drone technology was this one? 

They had to learn how to rely on the simplest drone technology to their advantage. 

Whether learning how to evade these drones or using them against the enemy, today’s matter would access their understanding of it all. 

Of course, in the future, they might have drills using Bax-02 with different modes too.

And for that, many people would probably use the old trick taught to them in the military when trying to remain hidden from a person wearing heat vision goggles.

No equipment was perfect. And knowing the flaws or the loopholes involving each one was essential. 

For example, the heat vision goggles couldn’t pick up heat through thick cement, could they?

Yan slowly tilted his head upwards, peeking at the drone that was now a little distance away from him.

Moving his fingers, he comminuted with the closest person in his team, who then communicated with another. 

And one by one, they all got his message.

Timing.

‘The drives mist have a particular pattern of movement.’ Yan thought. 

They had to master its movement before advancing little by little. 

1 2, 3… 

Swish! 

Yan’s team advanced like scratching tigers moving in for the kill. 

Scouts?

Very smart… He almost missed it.

Yan narrowed his eyes, spotting a few scouts up ahead. 

Kill!

.

~Croak. Croak. Croak!

The loud sounds of frogs singing out of harmony, continuously bombarded the scene. 

There were several ponds not too far away from the scene, with all sorts of creatures celebrating the joy of Spring.

The entire forest zone had more or less recovered its vitality, preparing for the Summer in June.

Yes!

A week more, and the month of May would be done and over with.

Nature was jubilating, with yields and fruits long bearing.

And in the depths of a certain forest region, 2 guards in their fort were diligently keeping a lookout on things. 

They knelt in a not-so-deep hole, looking left, right, up, down, and every possible corner, making sure that no one trespassed across the scene.

Their heads were covered with camouflage shrubs, berry bushes, and other short foliages.

The sense was too deceitful, making it hard for any to spot it.

And while their command center had long sent drones to guard the perimeter, they too had their own individual drones flying high in the sky, just in case they missed something.

One of the men had binoculars, focusing on the scene before him, while another manipulated the drone, watching the footage from his arm shield.

Thanks to the latest technology advancements, the footage got sent to the arm Shield with or without the Internet.

That’s right.

Even radio waves would do, provided they tap into the drone’s frequency.

.

Thanks to Landon and the military weapons manufacturing industry, the drone has its own receiver, amplifier, inbuilt antennas, and everything similar to a walkie-talkie. 

Switching to its frequency would automatically show one the image they wanted. 

Like Buzz Lightyear, they just had to open the shield to watch the footage. 

Of course, a very thin screen was on the left of the opened shield. 

And to the right, one would find a few buttons for footage settings. 

There was also a frequency changer, sort of like the one a person could find on a walkie-talkie… But a lot smaller. 

When changing the frequency, the screen could focus on the matter, showing what hertz they were on. 

91.9FM? 91.8? 82? 

One should recall that the arm shield also had a built-in microphone and receiver to listen in on orders and instructions from superiors. 

They could also make reports, passing on their current situations, especially when in danger.

In short, when creating this arm guard, Landon’s vision was Toy Story. 

Lastly, at the bottom right-hand side, just below the buttons, would also find a very petite and flexible thumb/joystick, similar to those on a PS or Xbox game controller.

This was a built-in backup Drone controller, just in case one lost the portable remote.

It can be said that Landon had thought a lot when creating this latest arm shield. 

But of course, the regular buttons for flashlights, pepper spray, and electrical taser shock were on the outer surface of the arm guard, not requiring them to open up the ‘communicator side’ of the shield. 

In a battle, who would have time for that? 

(?^?)

The new arm shields that had been given out were more like testing prototypes because soon, the real deals would be created with a firmer cover that was metal enhanced to make it sturdier, at the same time as light as a feather. 

. 

The guard controlling the drone moved it around the scene severally.

“All clear.”

Nothing shook randomly or weirdly.

“Good.” The one holding the binoculars said.

Their eyes shone with determination.

For their brigade, they had to hold the fort, not allowing any trespassers through!

Sadly… their wish was short-lived because, in the next few minutes, Yan and his team had managed to position themselves behind their fort.

Game over!
