Getting a Technology System in Modern Day-Novel



They plummeted for a few seconds straight as they traversed through the elevator shaft before the thruster in their armors came to life once again, wrestling them away from the grasp of terminal velocity. This time, the thrusters persisted, sustaining their propulsion until the moment they softly landed on the roof of the elevator cabin, avoiding making any sound.

Thanks to the elevator shaft being wide enough, which was due to the size of the elevator itself being huge since it served as the only entrance to the bunker, not counting the subterranean emergency tunnel as it was to be used for exactly emergency situations, thus forcing the elevator to be made as large as possible to allow for all the equipment and other materials to easily enter into the underground bunker during construction. 

Nevertheless, thanks to that, all the ESF (Eden Special Forces) were now on the roof of the elevator cabin except for the two soldiers who had remained behind just in case the sound muffling device malfunctioned and attracted the attention of the nearby soldiers. They remained at the entrance above the ground to make sure that their comrades who had gone underground didn't have to worry about anything happening on the ground as they would be handling any problem that might occur by themselves.

After they reached above the elevator cabin, the soldiers didn't linger for long as one of them opened the access hatch on top of the elevator, causing a squeak to be let out from the metallic sheet of the elevator, attracting the attention of the soldiers who stood on the other side of the elevator cabin door, prompting them to turn around and take a look at what might have caused that sound. 

After not hearing the squeak again, the soldiers returned back to their patrol since the security footage in front of them also didn't show anything different from how it previously was.

With the hatch now open, 5 gun tips peeking from the hatch, if looked from the pov of inside the elevator cabin. This was followed by a synchronous recoil of the guns together with, nearly silent gunshots were heard, followed by the fall of the five soldiers on either side of the elevator's door.

Upon taking care of the guards, they passed through the hatch, landing inside the elevator cabin before moving aside to allow their fellow comrades to land as well before he too would move to the side and make way for the other to jump down, thus they made enough space for everyone to jump down into the elevator without having a need to come out of it.

When all the eighteen of them were done with boarding the elevator, Shamim pressed the button to open the door as they raised their weapons and started leaving the elevator when the door opened, jumping the dead bodies on their way into the wide corridor in front of them. With that, they started heading to the direction the corridor led them. 

After a while of walking through the corridor, another massive door was revealed to them. This was the last block that held them away from accomplishing the second phase of their mission.

The moment they reached closer to the massive door, they could see another group of soldiers standing on the other side of the door. They unveiled their equipment from their bags as usual which consisted of the same puck-shaped device from not long ago. 

However, this time there was a twist, they were going to use two of these bombs by placing them on top of each other and as the result of that bombs automatically synchronized with themselves and changed their pre programmed exploding pattern to increase the effectiveness of the explosive which will not be double due to the bombs being two, but rather, it would increase the bombs' effectiveness by nearly five times more powerful than it would have been if used alone.

In the following few seconds, the same scenario from before repeated itself in front of them, with the bombs exploding and melting the door without even a single sound being heard, which was immediately followed by the soldiers shooting down the guards on the other side of the door who this time too couldn't comprehend what they had witnessed fast enough before they started a new journey on the other side.

With that done, all of the ESFs released a sigh of relief knowing very well that this was the last group of soldiers they had to shoot down, with the dead soldiers including a mix of Esparian special force soldiers along with the mercenaries working for the Morgans.

This signified the resolution of a deadly chapter, the second one in their story, executed with meticulous precision.

....

"Currently, our entire air force is considered destroyed, and much of our vital infrastructure lies in ruins, this includes our weapons storages. I can't even fathom how the heck they managed to pinpoint where most of them are. But in any case, we can no longer sustain this war," the general declared solemnly.

The moment their airforce had been taken out, he knew that it had marked a turning point in spelling their defeat in this war. This was also the very reason why they tried to gain air supremacy over Eden's airspace. 

However, he could tell that the things at the current moment were much more dire than that after going through the reports they had been receiving for the past twenty minutes straight, these reports stated the carnage that was being carried out in their country by the Edens air force. Yet, he knew that these accounts might not be all that had happened, since some damage might take more time to access.

"Tell your sponsors that we are in dire need of more help, else this was will end with the victory of our adversaries by the end of the weekend," Emanuel said after he turned to the Morgan's spokesperson who was sent here to be with them in the bunker from the moment the war started in order to act as the communication link between the people in the room and the Morgan family, still, he was skeptical about them sending more help to them.

'Though I doubt that they will be inclined to invest in us anymore since even their first objective didn't succeed, but it is not my problem or fault since they are the ones who had planned the entire war plan from the very start. I should still make sure that I will receive my payment.' Emanuel thought to himself as he scanned through the conference room that was filled with intelligent-looking foreigners and a handful of people who held influential positions in the Esparian government. 

The foreigners constituted the first batch of mercenaries who had arrived earlier and had started formulating strategies for how the war should take place. They were given complete planning freedom from the Morgans who said they would be backing Esparia in the war only and only on the condition that they agreed their selected people to be the ones who planned for the war.

"I will try to do so and relay your request," the spokesperson said as he fished his phone from his pocket and dialed a number starting the call despite being underground, since this location had a pseudo signal tower, allowing for normal communications to take place as if they were on the ground.

As the phone started ringing, he rose from his seat and started walking to the door to ensure a private communication, not wanting other people to listen to the call.

"Good night sir," he greeted the moment the phone call was answered by the one on the other side, simultaneously, he turned the doorknob and opened the door.

"Go on," urged the voice from the other end. 

However, the spokesperson couldn't even be bothered on hearing it as the moment he opened the door he felt as if his heart was about to leap out of his chest because of what he saw on the other side of the door, soon after, it was followed by him vomiting everything he had ate on his last meal, since he was punched on his stomach with just enough force to not break any organs within his abdomen, but powerful enough to cause him feel as much pain as possible, resulting in him dropping the phone as tears of pain were trailing from the corner of his eyes while his lips parted, letting out a painful groan which didn't seem to have any strength backing it.

The response of the people behind him and inside the room was not a calm one either, after the man fell on his knees from the immense pain, he was pushed aside by a group of heavily armed men in futuristic looking gears who entered the room and had raised their guns aiming at all of them present in the room before saying, "Move an inch and you eat a bullet."

Alas, there is always someone who thinks that they can push the boundaries and not face any consequences. In a fit of panic, one of the people present in the room, who was a minister of Esparia tried to find refuge by hiding under the table. 

The soldiers kept their word, and one of them pulled the trigger, the bullet going right through the minister's head. A fleeting expression of surprise crossed the man's face before his consciousness faded, this was the last function his brain could do in that fraction of a second before his head was punctured. His body crumpled onto the table's surface, with a mixture of blood and brain matter pooling above the table's surface, a macabre testament to the abruptness of his demise. 

The opening in his head went from one side to the other and was wide enough to even fit a pencil within.
