When the Galaxy Wept

Chapter 135 The Unexpected First Attack

Harvey smiled awkwardly, “The captains and the Commander discussed and made this together.” Emerald said angrily, “Isn’t it boring for a group of men to talk about this? He is only five months old now! He isn’t even born yet!” She couldn’t help but touch her slightly bulging belly. “Maybe everyone is looking forward to it.” Harvey tried not to smile and said, “With the leadership of the Commander and your amiable personality, your son will be a great leader.” His words made Emerald happy. She knew that those men must make this plan excitedly when they were having a rest after some meeting, but she was surprised that Patrick would discuss it with them. “Tell him I will not sign this. I’m going to have the prenatal examination now.” Emerald looked at her watch and stood up, shaking her head and smiling. The base’s medical center was not far away from their home, and it only took her less than ten minutes to walk there. It was maybe the second time that Patrick used his power for a personal affair. He hired an expert in gynecology at a high cost from Freedom City to work in the medical center. Certainly, other pregnant ladies in the army also benefited from this. The medical center was in a three-story building, and the gynecology department was at the end of the first floor. Only one pregnant lady was sitting in front of Emerald in the warm, bright waiting area. Since there were not many pregnant women in the troop, the experts only came twice during the morning every week. Emerald didn’t ask for more special treatments, and it was also beneficial to communicate with other pregnant women while waiting. After others had gone into the room, Emerald leaned back in the big leather chair and closed her eyes to have a rest.Because of pregnancy, Emerald had stopped all her flights. Patrick didn’t even let her do any housework. Actually, she didn’t have the energy to do it because she was always tired and sleepy. While she was waiting, her eyes slowly closed. If Patrick knew she was sleeping here, maybe he would frown upon her. She smiled at the thought of it and really fell asleep. After several minutes, a deafening noise suddenly woke Emerald up and made her tremble. With her heart beating fast, she covered her chest. The pregnant lady hadn’t come out yet, and the clinic room door was still closed. The noise came from the front of the empty corridor. What happened? She stood up and walked to the door, but she stopped when she was about to push it. After thinking for a second, she leaned against the wall and slowly pushed the door. Emerald was astonished when she saw the room inside through the crack. The pregnant lady was lying on the floor and passed out. What was going on? Was that the sound of the woman falling down? Emerald rushed into the room, “Doctor!” The moment she pushed the door, a black shadow suddenly flew toward her! Emerald was alert, and her body had already reacted faster than her mind and turned a little to avoid the shadow! Out of her eyes, she saw the female doctor lying beside the pregnant woman facing down, and Emerald couldn’t see what was wrong with her! Emerald couldn’t understand what she saw. The black shadow, which was lying beside her feet, was actually a laptop! What was going on? Did the doctor throw the laptop? Then why were they both lay on the floor? Emerald took out her mobile phone, but she couldn’t connect with Harvey. She grabbed the phone from the wall of the hospital and found out that there was no signal, either. She didn’t go directly to save the two on the floor since she was pregnant and had to be careful. She decided to go to other sections to find doctors and guards and let them come here. A scream stopped her when she was going to go! Then Emerald heard more screams. “What’s going on?” Someone shouted, “It’s weird!” “Anyone there?” Emerald shouted loudly because there were not many people in the hospital. Before anyone answered her, Emerald heard some weird noises around the corner of the corridor, as if someone was moving some heavy things. She took out a small gun that Patrick had prepared for her, opened the safe, and looked at that corner while holding her breath.A machine. It was a machine. Emerald recognized it because the doctor had just arranged for her to have prenatal care with this machine, which was the most advanced one in the world. But how could the machine move by itself? Emerald held the gun tightly and watched the waist-high, delicate, cuboid machine jump to her. “Doctor!” Emerald shouted, “there is a machine here!” “Watch out!” Someone answered, “ahhh, we were attacked.” Suddenly, the machine jumped up and rushed to her as if the machine had its own consciousness! At the same time, a black shadow attacked her from behind. It was the laptop that fell on the floor! Emerald reacted very fast, and she couldn’t waste time thinking about how weird it was to shoot at two common machines. Bang! Bang! Bang! The gunfire shot through the laptop and lit another machine on fire! Emerald dodged the sparks, passed the machines, and rushed out of the corridor. When she walked to a crossroad, she was stunned. It was totally crazy! There was chaos in the waiting area. Several nurses were lying on the ground, with their heads bleeding! A couple of laptops were all on the ground, some of which were still not broken, and one laptop was hitting the feet of one nurse, which made her scream! All the big machines moved! A refrigerator that contained free, fast food for patients was fuming on the ground, and the air conditioner, which was supposed to be on the wall, was now on a mercenary! A doctor, whose face was black, was pushed onto the stretcher by two mercenaries. A nurse shouted to the mercenaries, “he was shocked by electricity when he opened the machine. There was an electricity leak!” Someone noticed Emerald and shouted to her, “come here quickly!” Emerald walked to them in a hurry and guarded this place with another mercenary. That mercenary probably also came here to see the doctor and meet a weird thing like this. “What is going on?” The mercenary said to Emerald, “Why did all these machines suddenly wake up and attack us intentionally?”
