They eventually agreed with his plan and decided to gave him what he could use to achieve it, but it wasn't a thermal bomb. It was an electroshock shock. It would fry the circuits of anything using electricity, including the nervous system of humans.
Any human but by it would be paralyzed for a short while. That's for the truly strong individuals. As for those who are weak, it will fry their brain and kill them.
They gave him this alternative because they don't want his bomb to bring down the building. They don't want to pay for the whole building, and they also don't want to kill the human plants.
They intend to rescue the human plants. According to their investigations, the electroshock bomb won't kill them because of their regenerative ability. They should only be paralyzed while the guards are rendered catatonic and the turrets are fried.
There is only one catch with this plan. He has to bring the electroshock bomb to the center of the human farm. It is also best that he plugs it into the power supply. Then he has to leave the human farm in less than a minute.
This catch is why many people don't want to do the mission despite the doubling of the mission reward. If they don't leave quickly, they will be fried along with the others.
They might not even be able to reach the center of the human farm. Many have tried and failed. Even if they do, they would have to go through the turrets again if they wanted to leave.
Kelvin was willing to be their suicide bomber. He is confident of leaving, so the reward of 10 million dollars was particularly tempting. But he still insisted on getting guns. They had to be excellent guns too.
He also got a bulletproof vest, a flamethrower, slash-resistant and fire-resistant clothes. He wanted to get a hoverbike or something more, but they refused. They claimed he didn't need a vehicle for the mission, so they were not going to give them to him.
Eventually he finished his preparations and was driven to the site in a hired vehicle. It was his normal mode of transportation, but he didn't like it all.
He had become used to his hoverbike. But he didn't complain about this "unjust treatment" since they had already done well enough and he would be able to buy a new hoverbike after the mission.
The handler beside him instructed him again, "You know the mission. Go in. Reach the center. Plug it in. Leave before one minute. Then get your money."
Kelvin asked with irritation, "How many times are you going to repeat that? I am not stupid. I got it after the third time."
She frowned and said, "That's what you always say. But then you deviate. You villains are not reliable."
He asked her, "If you are so reliable, why don't you go in and do it yourself?"
She replied haughtily, "I can't do it. I know that and admit to it. So I won't waste my life and the resources of the city by attempting it. You, on the other hand, might be in over your head."
Kelvin didn't like her. He didn't like her right from the first moment they met. What she just said and how she was arrogant about it only increased his dislike of her.
He decided to ignore her for the rest of the ride. But she wouldn't let him.
She asked again, "Are you sure you don't want any monitoring attachments? With it, we will be able to monitor your mission progress and provide real-time guidance."
He ignored her question. This is not the first time she will be asking, and it is not the second time either. In fact, it is not the third time. He had rejected her suggestions those three times, so she is either stupid, deaf, memory impaired, or plain stubborn for her to ask him for the sixth time.
He doesn't care why anymore. He just ignored her. She didn't like it. She frowned and stared daggers at him. She did so until they reached their destination.
He got out of the vehicle quickly and practically ran towards the skyscraper in order to get away from her.
Wrath teased him, "I think she likes you."
He snorted. "I was this close to killing her. This close."
He showed Wrath just how close he was with his fingers. The space between them was indeed very close. It made Wrath laugh.
"Don't be like that. I've heard that human mating rituals can be frustrating. It only means the emotional reward will be high."
He shook his head and said, "If I spend anymore time with her, I might kill her. I don't want to get into trouble with the police force, so I better avoid her."
Wrath chuckled, but the driver and the officer didn't think what he said was funny. They heard him talking to himself about how close he was to killing her.
She said, "O dear god, we are doomed."
This is not the first time he will be talking to an invisible person. She had been against sending such a mentally unstable person to their death.
She is still against it because she felt it was a crime to use retards as suicide bombers. But her superiors said that he had been vouched for. So she can only pray that he fails to enter the human farm completely instead of being torn to shred by a hail of bullets.
Wrath pointed something out to him, "You have microphones, cameras, and trackers on your new bulletproof vest. This is why you should not take handouts. They usually come with unknown attachments."
Kelvin didn't know that. It actually didn't cross his mind that they would go behind his back and install the attachments that he had rejected so many times.
Not that he trusted them. He had inspected the bulletproof vest when it was given to him, but he didn't find anything out of place with it.
