22 – The High Speed

Two days after Rhodes' arrival, Ciara was building our shelter's fence using materials from the neighborhood.

"Are you sure you're completely healed, Ciara?" I asked her who was installing an old car metal plate using an electric screwdriver.

She stopped what she was doing and gave me her signature smile. "Frankly, my stomach still hurts a little, but I can still bear it. So, take it easy, sir."

I could ask her to rest until she is completely healed. She will definitely obey me as a soldier. But she seems to be the type who can't sit still while the others are working. So, I left her alone.

"If you're not feeling well, just stop, Ciara." I also screwed in one of the metal plates.

"Sure, sir."

The roar of the engine emerged from the back of the house. Not long after, Bonnie drove by on a hoverbike that Liz had just finished.

"This is fun!" She shouted as she circled the house. "I've never ridden a hoverbike this big!"

That thing is indeed quite huge, equivalent to a racing motorbike in my world, but without wheels and using a thruster at the back.

"I stripped the unnecessary modification and made it close to factory settings, though it might be quicker." Liz approached us while Bonnie was still having fun with that thing. "A good hoverbike isn't all about speed, you know."

"Yeah, I agree." I kept my eyes on Bonnie, who started to ride the vehicle higher.

A few moments later, the tiny girl lowered the hoverbike and stopped in front of us. "Ciara, try this! It's so much fun!"

Ciara looked at me, who answered immediately. "Go on. You will be riding this more often. Bonnie will be using the E.E.S with the thruster."

As soon as Bonnie got off the thing, Ciara got on and grabbed the handlebars.

"You can use this?" Bonnie asked, looking ready to explain.

"Knowledge of how to ride a vehicle like this is ingrained in my brain, but it is limited to military ones." The super soldier observes the various indicators on the dashboard.

Bonnie shrugged. "I think it will be pretty much the same."

Ciara looked at me again, still smiling. "How about you ride with me, sir?"

"Yeah, that would be fun" So far, I've only seen vehicles like this on the computer screen. It would be cool if I also experienced this thing myself, even though I couldn't control it.

I moved to the back seat of the bike. But the sight I got was beyond my expectations. I'm now facing Ciara's ass which is barely covered by the fabric. Because this hoverbike is a sport type, the handlebars' position is low, and the seat is raised. It makes Ciara's assets in the lower body more prominent.

"Wait a minute, Ciara." I moved from that place. Yes, I got a beautiful view, but I felt it was inappropriate.

However, as soon as I landed on the front, part of Ciara's breast came into my view. I was right under her cleavages. If I look up, I can see those assets very clearly.

Bonnie burst out laughing at that.

I use a special mechanism that makes my lower body stick on a flat surface. On this hoverbike, there is no such part other than the backseat and where I am right now.

Bonnie touched the muzzle of the vehicle and flashed a smile. "If we clean it up, this will match your black and white outfit."

Ciara smiled back. "We're going out for a bit."

Bonnie and Liz took a few steps back. Ciara pulled on the throttle, triggering that hoverbike to accelerate, creating the sound of a thruster roar and a strong rush of wind.

Even though my viewing lens was probably one of the best, I noticed that the scenery around us had become blurry, a sign that this thing was traveling at a very high speed.

If only my body was still flesh, I could be more immersed in all this. I can enjoy the high winds and my chest pounding with adrenaline.

I rode the black and white hoverbike again with Ciara the next day through an area that looked like a desert. Our hoverbike's speed makes sand fly and form clouds.

"You like this, Ciara?" I move my lens to face up, of course ignoring her cleavages. Her mouth formed a wide smile.

"Yeah, I really like this, sir!" She brushed aside her long fluttering hair.

"Unfortunately, your fun will have to stop soon, Ciara." I looked at the tall buildings in the distance. Looks like we've come to another city. The aesthetics of these buildings are more unique with non-traditional forms.

One thing that immediately caught my attention was that there were no roots of evil in that place, even though the buildings were partially destroyed by the war.

"Have you been able to feel anything, Ciara?" I asked my partner. As a super soldier, Ciara admits she is immune to telepathic attacks.

And that makes me wonder. Did the government already know something like this would happen, so they prepared synthetic humans that were immune to mind attacks? Research on artificial super soldiers must take a very long time, right?

"Yes, I can feel it." Ciara hissed. "It's like someone is calling me to come to the city's center."
