Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 237: Let There Be Chaos (III)

Before the man could shoot his gun, the security guards had already made their moves.

Bang!

The man holding the RPD, eyes widened in shock. He didn't understand what happened.

As he fell to the ground and in his final moments as his consciousness slipped away, his brain tried its best to understand what just happened but it couldn't.

He fell to the ground with a thud, with a clean hole in his head and blood pooling around him. His consciousness slipped away completely and his body started turning cold.

The security guards waste time and gave the group no chance to make a move as they made theirs.

The man holding Alex quickly passed him to the guard beside him and nodded before turning his attention to the group in front of him.

The other guard seeming have understood what his captain meant, took Alex and started runninh with all of his strength.

After the other security guard left with Alex, the remaining two started shooting at the group. With the help of the Gear, each of their shot was clean hit to the head.

Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!

Gunshots rang out, cutting through the air and echoing through the school, its surroundings and in the hearts of everyone that heard them.

The group was unable to fully react to the assault. Before they could under what was happening and regain their composure, half of them were already on the floor deader than dead.

Chaos ensued afterwards as the group started shooting frantically and sporadically at the security guards. But it was futile as their actions has already been predicted and the security guards had already taken actions.

They moved from their original position and took cover behind some of the square pillars. Even with the security guards hiding behind the pillars, the gunmen didn't stop shooting.

Their emotions were in disarray. They came here thinking that of the very easy job they took and the huge pay that was in wait for them. But who knew that the job they thought was so easy wasn't exactly isn't.

Yes, they knew that something was wrong when they were told that they would be paid $8 million if they complete the job but they never expected to be dying here.

They also didn't plan to shoot anyone or kill them. Even though their guns are real, it was only planned to be used to be used as intimidation. It was only to be used when someone tried to step out of line, only then they would shoot at the ground to scare the person.

But everything has gone so wrong! A lot of their friends are lying on the floor, cold and lifeless. They felt angry with themselves for being blinded by the money but most of their anger was directed at their client, Daniel, for giving so much wrong information.

The security guard holding Alex made his way around the school building, following the instructions being given to him by Luna through the Gear.

Immediately after she was informed of the situation, Luna took control of the Gear and every devices, and equipment in the surroundings. The CCTV cameras were under her control and she was using it to monitor the situation around the school.

She could see Daniel standing outside the school building with a sinister smile on his face. She knew that she has to get Alex out of the school building before Daniel decides to take control of the situation.

She has also started ringing the police continuously and as she did that, she was doing her best to fly to the school the fastest she could.

All these was possible due to the upgraded quantum computer that Silas created.

Silas was just about to begin the the first simulated training for the soldiers when he got the news of the incident at Alex's school.

His fists immediately clenched in anger. He knew that Daniel was going to target his family but going after his brother like this and unscrupulously was something he didn't expect.

This was due to the fact that he never thought that Daniel would be so bold to go after him publicly like this and create an incident.

Immediately, he stopped the simulation training and rushed to the airport, and boarded a flight.

Even with the plane flying towards San Jose at its fastest speed, Silas felt that it was too slow. This wouldn't had been an issue for him if he still had his previous strength.

He would had ran more than 500 mph to San Jose, save his brother and crush Daniel into fine dust but it was impossible for the current him. This made him to make the decision that he would do best to regain his previous strength as fast as possible.

He doesn't care how many metamorphosises he has to go through before he regain his previous strength, as long he can regain his previous strength and gain even more than what he had previously, to protect his family, he would gladly do so.

Silas was glad that Luna was already flying towards San Jose and he knew that she would get there before him. He just hopes she get there before anything happens to Alex.

He knew Luna was watching over Alex, but the knot in his stomach tightened with each passing second. It has been such a long since he felt so helpless and it made him very angry. Every moment in the air felt like a lifetime of his wasted.

He looked out the aircraft's porthole with an unsettled heart filled with anxiety and anger. The anxiety and anger swirled in his heart, nearly choking him and made him unable to breath.

He was still calm as through the Gear of the security guard holding Alex and the quantum smartwatch on Alex's hand, he knew that he was still safe.

But he knew that as long as the situation has still persist, his brother safety wasn't guaranteed.

"Hold on, Alex. Big brother is coming."

While the chaos was still going on, a red car was overshooting traffic lights, breaking multiple traffic laws and regulations at the same time as it made it way towards a location.

On the steering of the car, a familiar young woman could be seen muttering something to herself.

"It was true. I wasn't crazy or seeing things."
