Ito Ai: A New Dawn

Chapter 62: Hijacking New Tech Part One

The two grown men almost jumped out of their skin hearing a voice come out of nowhere. They turned around to see Ai standing there with a smile on her face and a gun trained right on them. "What? Now you have no words? Were you not upset that maybe someone else might have ravaged my body? Sadly for you, I do not plan on letting anyone touch me. But right now I am in the giving mood. So... How about this? Since this great aunt is so kind, I will help you all fix your issue of needing a woman to relieve your stress." 

"You! Fuck! Shoot her!" The man to her right yelled once he realized where the gun was pointed. But it was already too late as two muffled gunshots rang out and two pitiful screams could be heard. 

"You fucking bitch! My dick! Fuck!" One of the men yelled out in rage. He tried to get a handle on his gun to shoot but when he looked up Ai had disappeared.

As for Ai, she was hiding behind a tree waiting to see if the men yelling had caught the attention of anything. Sure enough, she heard some movement coming from the north. She watched closely as a slow walking type two machina made its way out from behind a large bush.

"Fuck!" One of the men cried out. Gritting his teeth, bearing the pain from his crotch the man raised his gun and fired at the type two machina. The other man quickly followed suit as well. They were both equipped with semi automatic single shot rifles where they had to continue to pull the trigger to shoot. 

Ai who was watching what was going on, laughed internally because the machina just stood there while the men shot towards it, not even moving. She could see the bullets whizzing by hitting everything around the machina. But her laugh was stifled when she realized something was off. If she remembered correctly these men were ex soldiers so even if they were in pain they should still hit a few shots here and there. That was when Ai observed what was going on and a horrifying thought came to mind. 'It's collecting data...' 

She could figure this much out by its actions but she could not figure out what kind of data it was trying to collect. With no other options but to continue to observe, Ai watched closely and noticed that some of the bullets did indeed go straight to the machina but it would veer off course when getting into a certain range. "A barrier?" Ai whispered to herself. 

Ai tried to think back to her past life, trying to figure out if the type two ever had one of those. But the only machina she knew of that had such an added feature was the new type that had killed her. But when she thought of how things were progressing almost a thousand times faster than in her previous life when it came to machina development, she now understood that her future was going to be filled with many hardships.

But she also found that this was a good chance to figure out the workings of this new barrier. If she can also get her hands on this tech and figure out how it works she could then use it to protect her base "This could actually be very good for me. But it will also be dangerous."

Without much thought, Ai decided to off the two men. There was no telling how long the machina would stand there and be shot at. In order to follow through with her plan, she would need to have some running room. She slid her body down the tree trunk so she could lay on the ground and crawled into the bushes. She took aim with her gun and let two bullets fly, each hitting its target, killing the two men. She then turned and fired a shot at the type two machina which still had not moved. Sure enough her thoughts were correct. The bullet she had aimed right at its body seemed to stop for a fraction of a second before being diverted towards the ground. 

With this new information, Ai rolled her body and jumped to her feet quickly ran around the machina shooting at it from different directions. After doing a full three sixty around the machina she was now sure the barrier surrounded the whole thing. But one thing she did not get was, the machina, not once did it turn in her direction. "Is it conserving power?" this was the only thought that came to mind. She wondered if the barrier used too much power, meaning it could not use other functions while the barrier was up. 

"Since you can't move then that means I can walk up to you." Ai smirked and did just that. She walked straight up to the machina but stopped a few meters away. She then picked up a thick branch from the ground and held it out in front of her before continuing her steps. As she inched closer she realized when she was only a few steps away, that the stick in her hand slightly vibrated but was not destroyed. With this knowledge, Ai did not continue forward, instead, she took the pistol on her thigh, and just like she did with the stick, she reached out with it and at a certain point, she felt the vibration again. Smiling, she aimed the gun at the neck of the machina and pulled the trigger. A muffled bang was heard as the bullet passed through the silencer. This was followed by the sound of metal hitting metal as the bullet pierced into the metal neck of the machina. This was the perfect spot on a type two since that was where the main wiring was located that passed information between the programming and the rest of the body.
