Chapter 372 What Now?
Climbing up the mighty fence, the men tried to move as stealthily as possible... but at this point, stealth wasn't the only problem that they were facing here.
As they moved with their pointy daggers in their mouths, they kept sliding a few feet down the fence.... as well as jumping to the sides just like spiderman... whenever the lights would get pointed at the fence.
It was such a tedious task for them to do, as some of them had almost slipped up on multiple occasions.
.
Some almost fell right down to the bottom again, while others found it painful and hard to keep moving left, right.... as well as up and down continuously.
Really!.... what the hell was in there that warranted so much security from these people?
.
After what seemed like years to them, they had soon reached the mid-upper section of the fence.
But strange enough, it seemed after 2/3rds of their journey up..... they noticed that about 4 inches of the fence was coated and covered up with some sort of thick black surface (rubber).
And after the black surface, the fence continued on, again.
So what was so important about diving up the fence into 2 by adding this black surface thingy there?
.
Touching on the black surface, they could still feel the metal fence underneath it.... as it was as if this part of the fence was wearing clothes or something.
But why would that be?
No matter how they looked at it, they couldn't see any reason why it was done this way.... so they immediately shrugged it off and continued climbing as if it were no man's business.
.
"Alright men..... I know you lot are out almost out of energy... but soon, victory will be ours!
Since this smooth black surface has completely blocked off all the holes from the fence underneath it... obviously, there's no place for us to place our hands and feet into.
But since the smooth surface only goes on for this much (4 inch), we could just easily go over it carefully.
I'm repeating all this to you all because it's dark out here, and I don't want anyone missing their steps or falling downhill from here.
Remember.... we have to get this job done fast!!!."
"Yes boss!!!"
"_"
.
With that... the leader and 3 others quickly sent their long arms over the 4 inch rubber spacing and immediately reached out for the fence above it.
But when they did, what happened next.... could only be described as the most 'Scarring Moment for some of them in their entire lives.
They reached out and touched the fence above the 4 inch wide black rubber part..... and instantly felt their bodies go numb with pain.
.
"Ahhhh"
The pain was the most nerve-wracking pain that they had ever felt in their lives.
It was as if someone had just taken away all the air around the fields.... making it immensely hard for them to breath all the more.
In truth, they should be lucky that they had only touched that part of the fence... Because after the rubber divider, one would find several other rubber dividers that were far apart from each other the higher one climbed.
.
In essence the higher one went, the higher the electric voltage of the fence would exponentially increase as well.
And at the very top of the fence, the shock triggered there... could even cause a lethal voltage discharge that was typically several times more powerful than that from a standard electrical chair.
In short, their brains and bodies would've been fried a lot more quicker.....than how it would've been if they were placed on those electrical chairs instead.
.
Landon had based some of the designs on the famous Alcatraz prison back on earth.
And the reason why the bottom part of the fence didn't have electric current running through it.... was so that animals like squirrels or small rodents at the bottom wouldn't get shocked or killed by it all.
Also, if a guard wanted to lean on the fence or something.... it wouldn't kill them as well too.
So long story short, more than half of the fence was safe for one to touch..... as only by climbing a certain distance up, would one reach the danger zone.
And since no one should have any business climbing his fences... then what was there to worry about?
.
Of course, during the day... the power on those fences are switched off completely, and the place is filled with more patrolling guards instead.
But at night..... hehehehe..... for sure, he had made the 1/3 of the fence to be completely electrified.
.
'Bzzzzzzz!!!!'
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
Just like that, the leader and those 3 men who were climbing ahead of the group, quickly felt an uncontrollable force slightly frying their insides... as they screamed out loud from immense pain.
And almost instantly, their bodies swiftly pulled back as a defence mechanism.
.
Yup!.... the shock had only partially numbed them.... as this was the lowest shock level so far.
So for sure, they still had some sort of control with their bodies.
Hence they pulled away from the fence just as fast as they had touched it.
And due to this..... in addition to the partial numbness over their bodies, they soon as fast as they could, and found themselves falling towards the ground in shock.
From this height.... wouldn't they end up with broken bones or even die instead?
.
"No!!!!"
"Boss!!!"
"Tybalt!!!"
"Hang on!!... we've got you now"
"_"
The men who had been climbing behind them, quickly tried their best to catch their falling comrades.
'Uagh!!!'
"Got you!"
"Quickly! Quickly everyone!
Let's get down now!!" Smiggle said hastily, and everyone hurriedly did as they were told..... while trying to hold onto their comrades who had almost fallen down from this height.
.
They held onto the fence somewhat loosely with one hand..... and then slightly slid downwards as fast as they could.
Because even though they were utterly confused as to what had happened to their comrades, they still knew one thing for sure..... and that was the fact that their mission had already been compromised.
'Weewohh!'
'Weewohh!'
'Weewohh!'
'Weewohh!'
The sirens went out within the entire region, and soon.... several massive light beams quickly shone on them, almost blinding them while they struggled to get down from the fence.
.
And almost immediately.... they also heard several voices that seemed to echo out from God knows where.
"Please.... turn yourselves in now for your own good and safety!
I repeat!
Please turn yourselves in now for your own good and safety!
This is your very last warning!!!!!"
"_"
.
As the men heard the sirens go off and the echoed voice talk, they couldn't help but shiver a little from fright.
Shit!!!
What now?
