The Degree
Theft Tragedy II

The police are busy taking care of the evacuation of civilians, of course they are starting to be overwhelmed because of the lack of people.

“Please evacuate in an orderly manner! Take it easy, the ****** it will not attack this place!”

No matter how loud they scream but the panic of civilians never subsides. They were really scared, even many left each other.

A boy was crying because he was separated from his parents. The parents panicked to find their son separated from him. Men go call women. Women go call men in a melee.

The panic that occurs due to the attack in monas, this incident may be included in the case of an attack on the country.

Cases with large scale and involving one country, bombs and shootouts, of course all will panic because of it.

“Hey, do it right! Do not let everything get more chaotic or there will be people who die stepped on during evacuation!”

The police were looking for a colleague who also had to confirm the evacuation, but the colleague did not answer. It made him upset but when he turned to look at him the man was not found.

“Hei! Shit, where did that bastard go?!”

He started to get out of his position and search the surroundings. The man went into the distance where the place was quiet, maybe his partner was urinating or something.

While going to the park bench he saw something twitching so decided to approach him.

When he found it and was surprised that something was his colleague who had been stripped of clothes and his weapon. Even his legs and hands were tied, his mouth was isolated so he could not ask anyone for help.

“Oi! What happened to you?!” he immediately tried to untie his partner z but his partner began to squirm, panicking and seemed to tell something.

“Hm! Hm! Hm!”

“What's up?” the man then saw a shadow of a man standing behind him while raising a baseball bat. He then turned around and found a man intent on hitting him.

Honey, he realized too late so that his punch arrived first without having time to respond anything.

...*****...

Ray and Roid came out of the toilet in all-black military police suits, helmets, masks and chest guards.

“I didn't expect the equipment to be light enough even though it looks big and heavy,” said Ray when checking his weapon bullets.

The police used a strong, elastic and so light clothing material that Ray was amazed by it. Besides being strong, keeping the load is not heavy is a priority.

“While I didn't expect you to suggest an idea like this, Ray. Isn't it like we're fighting the police? Really, this would make us criminals if known!”

Ray does not care much about it, in the middle of a big situation such trivial problems like this will not be immediately raised. Both the police and the state will try to find these.

“It's better than appearing vividly. In the end we will only be expelled, at worst probably shot with alleged *****.”

More risks come from not wearing police uniforms.

Ray also had time to see some but he did not try to think deeply considering there is an option not to participate.

“We will go around TKP and monitor the situation from a distance to find out which side is cornered and benefited.”

It was natural for anyone to side with the side that would definitely win in this incident. Ray himself did not want to take so many risks, therefore he wanted to keep an eye on the situation first.

They had binoculars from the policemen they had scuttered before. Ray and Roid went to a place that was quite safe and could also monitor the situation clearly.

In short, government positions and Degree users are both deadlocked. The military police had surrounded the monas, and the Degree users also isolated themselves in the monas with sandra.

Thanks to that, the military police cannot take action carelessly because they have to prioritize sandra.

“While there is some sandra, I wonder why there are so many barricades there. Are there Degree users strong enough to create such barricades?”

They toppled the car and even added some roadblocks to create the barricade. With the barricades then the military police will have difficulty in infiltrating, besides that it is not surprising that the shootout actually occurred.

“It seems that they have planned it carefully, but I wonder what they will do to escape.” Ray pointed his binoculars at the golden monas that had already disappeared from its place.

Ray can think of a variety of possibilities but he believes the previous big smoke came from an explosion that destroyed his buffer.

Gold monas were eventually dropped and possibly destroyed in order to make it easy to carry them.

The problem was how those people escaped the ongoing siege. Not only the military police, but one country will soon surround this place.

Ray was curious how the people would end up, he really wanted to know the end of this big incident.

“It won't be easy, Ray. It's not like you're using the robot's left hand like it was against me. This disguise won't work for you because the police can't have just one hand.”

Indeed before the reason Ray did not want to use a robot arm because it was uncomfortable was true because he had tried it directly even though the arm was no longer usable thanks to the fight with Roid. Maybe it was his arm that won him too.

The arm that Ray got from the remnants of research at his father's facility, is still limited to prototype and not perfect because every time a small impact, Ray will feel itching on his nerves. The worst part was that the fight with Roid caused Ray to be nearly driven mad by the pain from his impact.

“You have a point. Even I wasn't confident enough to win against the military police with one hand. This is sad because we lack people when we arrive at a situation that requires a colleague.”

Ray regretted not contacting Terumi and the others to help with the situation here, but he had no idea it would be this complicated.

Previously Ray had the premise that the more people then the worse the situation was because the state would send more people thus complicating matters.

But nowadays having more people is not a bad thing.

“Do you really want to choose only oada options in favor of theft or try to stop it and stand with the country.”

Even if asked that, Ray has no answer at all. Really, there's a lot of complicated stuff in Ray's head right now
