Chapter 11: 11 I Have Received Military Training
The shockwave from the explosion of the vehicle ahead hit them like a tidal wave.
Kagura Hitomi felt her body lurch as the armored jeep came to a screeching halt thanks to the driver, a woman who slammed on the brakes.
'Clang!'
A piece of shrapnel, a piece of armor blasted off, fell from the sky, and crashed onto the hood of the vehicle in front of Hitomi.
"Enemy attack! Left side!"
The soldiers reacted swiftly, showing the training of seasoned military personnel.
"Jimmy! Stay in the car! Protect Mr. Stark and Miss Kagura!"
The female driver shouted, grabbing her weapon, and without hesitation, she opened the door and rushed out.
"Get down! Get down!"
Jimmy, sitting in the back, pressed a terrified Tony Stark down to the floor and pointed at Hitomi, "You too! Get down! Don't move!"
'Ra-ta-ta-ta-!'
The enemy's firepower was relentless. The driver had barely gotten out of the vehicle when she was immediately hit and fell to the ground.
"Oh my God!"
Tony Stark's eyes widened, his chest gripped in fear as he clutched at it.
Although he was wearing a top-tier bulletproof vest designed by Stark Industries, he didn't feel safe at all.
"Damn it!"
Jimmy, seeing his comrade fall, couldn't hold back anymore. He grabbed his weapon and opened the door. "You two stay in the car!"
"Wait! Wait, give me the gun!"
Tony shouted, but Jimmy didn't respond.
"Stay here!"
'Boom!'
The moment Jimmy got out of the car, a scatter grenade exploded right beside him.
The jeep, now armored, was instantly riddled with holes. Fortunately, Jimmy used his body to shield part of the door, or else Tony Stark might've had his head blown off.
"Oh my God!"
At this point, Tony Stark was completely dazed. The deafening explosion echoed in his ears, and the chaotic sound of battle made it impossible for him to get his bearings.
"Mr. Stark, Mr. Stark!"
In contrast to Tony's panic, Kagura remained composed. "Get out of the car!"@@@@
She had mentally prepared for this, but the shock of actually being in it was still jarring.
The alerts on her visor were constant.
The red frames flickered rapidly. Incoming grenades were being calculated for their impact points.
Just like in the memory, a black cluster bomb came hurtling toward them.
"Mr. Stark, watch out!"
Hitomi reacted quickly, pulling Tony, who was fumbling with his phone in a panic, away from the impending danger.
"Move!"
The bomb fell at their feet in the blink of an eye.
At the last possible moment, Hitomi grabbed Tony and leaped toward the rocks by the roadside.
'Boom!'
A massive explosion erupted behind them, the shockwave spread violently, sending them flying like leaves in the wind.
"Oh my God!"
Tony Stark finally regained his senses, his ears ringing.
"What's this soft thing?"
He shook his head, trying to clear the dizziness.
"Mr. Stark, are you alright?"
Kagura Hitomi, still on top of Tony, sat up, rubbing her own head in mild disorientation.
The holographic UI in her vision was flashing, displaying mission updates.
[Additional Task: Protect Tony Stark from harm during the attack / Complete]
[Earned 10 QP]
"I... I'm fine..."
Tony Stark still clutched his chest, his face filled with panic. "You really are strong."
"Ugh..."
Hitomi sighed in relief, sitting back against the ground. "I'm glad you're okay."
She picked up her HK416 again, preparing to fight back.
The Ten Rings were ruthless terrorists—taking out as many as possible would make the world a better place.
However, the mission completion alert had already popped up, meaning the "attack" was coming to an end.
Just as she was about to fire again, she realized they had been surrounded.
"Don't move! Drop your weapons and surrender immediately!"
Well, as far as I can see, my script seems fine so far!
