With time running short, they returned to the NewTech building.The damage caused by the rebel attack seemed to be under control. Machines, construction robots, and human forces were all engaged in repairs. Of the total security guards who resisted, more than half were injured, excluding the cyborg forces, who were better trained for dangerous situations, equipped with armor to minimize the impact of injuries.Currently, Nouel and his team gathered in a room where the head of NewTech Industries was scolding them, furious about the failure that occurred.“You’re all a disaster! I can’t entrust this crucial mission to you! All you’ve produced is failure and losses. What’s the point of paying you so much if you only create problems and can’t accomplish tasks properly?” Mr. Gustavo appeared extremely angry, far more than he should, as if he had lost something invaluable.Nouel and his team remained silent, ears tuned in without uttering a word.“Damn it! What have you done?! I gave you a

Professor Volkov knew Nouel was joking, but he still reprimanded him. Ignoring the reprimand, Nouel promptly gave orders. “Continue.”Edith then resumed explaining the autopsy process, detailing how they successfully extracted the necessary information from the deceased cyborg’s body. “The team needed not just days for corpse identification, but also time for the body and head dissection, especially when unlocking the well-secured chip system. A slight misstep in movement could burn the chip. Hence, everyone involved in this task proceeded with utmost care and caution.”“I anticipated it would be challenging, but I didn’t expect the execution to be even more difficult than I thought,” remarked Nouel thoughtfully.“Yes, the system is intentionally designed to erase evidence when someone attempts to dissect these cyborgs’ heads.”“The chip?” Nouel glanced at the carefully placed chip inside a special glass-covered holder on the table. Besides the secured chip, there was also a computer

Although Vera and Drax were already enthusiastic and ready to undertake the mission, Nouel did not immediately respond with orders, causing the two cyborgs to look towards their captain, wanting to know what was wrong or if there was a problem. Nouel was lost in his thoughts, his eyes focused on the hologram diagram floating in front of him. With nimble fingers, he rotated and enlarged specific parts of the virtual map. “What are you thinking, Captain?” Drax asked. “Well, isn’t this an opportunity?” Vera replied. “I think it looks too easy, I’m suspicious if these rebels are aware that there’s an embedded tracker and deliberately setting a trap for us,” Nouel suddenly voiced his concern. Vera touched her chin, deep in thought. “But, Captain, are we going to ignore this chance? This path could be the key to finding their base.” “What you say cannot be ignored. This might be a bait, but isn’t this a risk?” “What are we going to do, Captain?” Drax asked for clarification. “Of cours

They continued their journey, following the path provided by Vera. In the midst of their journey, Nouel continued discussing with Lucrezia, “Something’s not right. I feel it’s not just about preventing us from reaching the rebel base. Maybe there’s something they’re hiding. As I mentioned before.”Lucrezia responded seriously, “You’re right, and that makes the team need to proceed with the mission, whatever it is, we need to know.”As the team continued, Vera issued a warning, “Enemies detected, moving quickly toward us.”“Okay, team, get ready for a fight.” Nouel immediately had the entire team on guard. The warned battle occurred promptly as several rebels, equipped with their armor and weapons, engaged.A firefight erupted between the two teams. The substantial number of rebels immobilized all Wolf team members, they could only take cover and return fire against the onslaught.Nouel and Lucrezia, though in the command room, felt the urgency and observed the situation through camera

After a lengthy task the previous day, Nouel, enjoying his breakfast, instructed his AI assistant to open all the data files he had discovered at the rebels’ headquarters. However, the AI didn’t provide any additional information, most of the obtained data seemed irrelevant.“Can you access the NewTech system?” Nouel asked after dismissing hologram windows. Currently, he sat on his apartment balcony, observing several hologram screens around him – a total of six hologram windows.“Out of range. Due to high-security measures and real-time monitoring, a closer radius is required,” the AI Assistant replied. Nouel responded with a hint of displeasure, he continued his breakfast for a few more seconds.After swallowing his meal, Nouel spoke again, “Do you have recommendations on where I can find the blueprints and the sought-after files?”The AI scanned and displayed several possibilities. It turned out that some NewTech branches were potential locations for the blueprints and data, not or
