As Hazeed and his team continued to organize the group of survivors, the urgency of the situation weighed heavily on his mind. They couldn’t stay at Central City Station for long—Omega’s forces could be closing in at any moment.“We need to move fast,” Hazeed said, his voice low but commanding. “Mazda, do you have any idea how far Omega’s reach extends here?”Mazda shook her head, her expression grim. “I’ve heard rumors, but nothing concrete. They could have infiltrated parts of Earth without us knowing.”Max glanced around at the bustling station, his eyes scanning for potential threats. “This place is too exposed. We’re sitting ducks.”Hazeed nodded. “We’ll split up. Mazda, you and Max take half the group and head towards the old subway tunnels. It’s off the grid—Omega won’t be able to track us there immediately.”Mazda and Max exchanged a quick glance before agreeing. “What about you?” Mazda asked, concerned.“I’ll take the rest of the survivors and head to an old safe house I know
As the night descended over the city, casting shadows across the looming skyscrapers and silent alleyways, Hazeed and his team gathered at the entrance of the warehouse. Every survivor was quiet, a tension filling the air as they prepared to leave. The plan to infiltrate Omega's monitoring center was risky, but it was the only way forward.Mazda adjusted the hood on her jacket, concealing her face. “We’re ready when you are, Hazeed.”He looked around at his team and the group of weary survivors. "Listen, everyone. Tonight, we make a move that could change everything. But remember, stay close, stay quiet, and follow my lead. We’re stronger than Omega thinks."Lira secured her laptop and nodded to Hazeed, determination in her eyes. “I’ll handle the tech once we’re inside. We just need to get close enough.”Max, standing off to the side, gave Hazeed a reassuring nod. “My contacts said the security is tight but predictable. With these tools, we’ll have an advantage.”They moved as a singl
While Hazeed and his team caught their breath at the safe house, tension filled the air. The warehouse they used as temporary shelter trembled with the city’s never-ending hum, as if Omega was watching them from every corner.Mazda and Max finally arrived with their group through the tunnels. They looked weary and worn, yet determined. “We’re off their radar for now,” Max said, glancing at Hazeed with a hint of relief. “But we can’t stay here long. They’ll keep tracking us.”Hazeed nodded, gathering everyone around. “You all know that Omega won’t stop until they have us. They may have power, but we have something more important—our drive to fight and the intel to take them down from the inside.”Mazda added quickly, “Omega has taken over most of the city, but there’s one place they think is unimportant—Sector Delta. It’s a small settlement on the city’s edge, almost forgotten, but its underground network still connects to an old government data center from
It was early in the morning, but Hazeed's misfortune had already begin.Hazeed, who was washing his bike, was shocked when the landlady threw everything out of his room.Not only that, but she turned off the water tap."Get out of here right now, you're five months in arrears and you're still wasting water! This room is already rented!" said Ms. Lisa."But ma'am, I'm still working on it," said Hazeed, hurriedly putting down the water hose and quickly tidying up his clothes that were scattered outside the room."No, you can't! Leave now because the person will be here soon," said Mrs. Lisa adamantly.Hazeed could only remain silent. He realized that he was five months in arrears and it was very good for him that Ms. Lisa was only kicking him out now.Hazeed couldn't do much about it. He quickly carried his meager belongings away on his old moped.The sun was still warm on his tan skin. Hazeed's only thought this time was to try to find a rooming house that he could fill without having
"Sir, I didn't do anything wrong, sir!" said Hazeed when two policemen arrived and immediately handcuffed him.There was even more commotion outside the clinic. Students who were arriving for classes now gathered in the clinic courtyard.Many of them began documenting and sharing information about Hazeed's arrest on social media."My day is complete," Hazeed thought as the police patrol car drove away from the clinic with him.Arriving at the police station, Hazeed was immediately questioned and bombarded with so many questions.The man really couldn't answer what the investigators were asking because he wasn't involved in the drug cartel as they intended."How much do you get paid to keep your mouth shut like this?" one of the police officers snapped at him.Hazeed repeated his answer."I don't know the woman, let alone get paid, I am the victim of the collision, sir, what is the fate of my motorcycle?" Hazeed said with half resignation.But the investigators did not take his word fo
He was still left with many questions about the phone. He even searched the internet for the name of the cell phone but there was nothing like it.A large phone like a handy talkie but with a screen that was very different from most phones today. Especially in its features.Hazeed, who was trying to figure this out, finally fell asleep very soundly because he was tired after all the things he had been through."I Am Omega, who woke me up?" someone said. But Hazeed, who was fast asleep, didn't notice.The warm morning touched Hazeed's face.Staying in that hut all night made him think hard now. Even though he was losing his way. But he didn't want his grandparents back in the village to know what had happened to him."I have to go to the college," Hazeed said.Using a water source he found near the field, he washed his face and cleaned his body. He separated some of his clean clothes.Once he was dressed, Hazeed walked to the campus to attend his classes. Hazeed himself is an outstandi
"Come in, follow the route that will guide you, Mr.H!" Omega's voice sounded so cold this time.Hazeed then stepped inside."What? This is a driverless car? Autopilot? It really works systematically using a computer system connected to its center?" Hazeed said in amazement."Sir, Omega will lead you to your first mission," Omega said.TREKThe black car locked and accelerated to a lake behind an old factory.This lake was an artificial lake in the middle of the city, used as a water catchment area for the city."What should I do here?" said Hazeed."First Mission, save the children," said Omega, accompanied by the sound of a door opening.BUKKHazeed tumbled to the ground, as his chair had apparently shifted with him."You suck! Can't you just put me down quietly! What a lousy system!" grumbled Hazeed as he patted his clothes that had become soiled with dirt."Help! Help!" said someone from the lakeside.Hazeed was stunned to see two people struggling at the edge of the lake trying to
"Next to your house is Ms. Lisa's boarding house," said Mr. Kardi.Hazeed frowned.A room on the outside of the house was then handed over to him. Hazeed felt very much at home, especially since there was a parking lot here too, which allowed him to save money."Thank you son, I hope you feel at home," said Mr. Kardi, who had rented out one of the rooms in his house to Hazeed."You're welcome sir, I'm very grateful that you offered me a room," said Hazeed.He immediately cleaned up the room that would now be his home. He was grateful that he could finally sleep comfortably again.Even so, his mind was still confused by the OMEGA system that kept appearing on his cell phone.It was getting late, and Hazeed felt free. He took out his antique cell phone and started to turn it on."It won't turn on?" said Hazeed in confusion. He then tried to charge it, but nothing fit into the charger hole."What kind of data cable is this?" said Hazeed as he continued to look up the size and specificati
