After preparing his weapon, without hesitation, Nouel came out from the hiding place, then opened fire which was different from before. The one shot he fired sent one of the enemies who was a cyborg thrown, had a seizure from being hit by an electric current, then stopped moving, the cyborg's body was smoking.

“What is ....?” Vera who saw that, she was surprised she didn't expect.

“As expected, my weapon will be effective.” Nouel smiled contentedly. Nouel continued, activating an energy shield that protected his body from the successive shots from the cyborgs shooting at him, he continued one or two shots that were so accurate, every cyborg that was hit by a direct shot was thrown several meters as if hit by a shot shotguns, they twitched for a moment as an electric shock surged through their bodies. When his shield is deactivated, Nouel moves fast, dodging every enemy shot that is fired at him. He kept running and jumping, making use of his war and fighting skills to avoid the opponent's attacks. In a short time, he had managed to get close to many enemies because he was in range, he released a kick at one enemy, then switched to the second enemy, he ducked to avoid shots and then fired back in a kneeling position.

Nouel runs towards the enemy. Vera was surprised to see that action, but she immediately understood when she saw Nouel take out a small device from his trouser pocket. Nouel throws the device towards his enemy, a second after it is thrown, it immediately explodes.

The small explosion was enough to destroy the rebels, and Nouel immediately attacked them with punches and kicks. The cyborgs took the blast attack, convulsing before ending up motionless.

Finished with the enemy within range, Nouel dashed towards the rebel troops who were still attacking, he moved to avoid every shot fired by the enemy, he used his shield to block when there were some bullets that couldn't be avoided. The shots they released damaged the area around Nouel, along with hitting the shield right in front of his body.

In a short time, he had managed to get close to some rebels and hit them head on. He threw a few more punches, attacking and dodging with his speed. He managed to avoid several shots by throwing himself sideways or swinging his body.

Until, suddenly, the enemy fired an even stronger shot, the shot which resulted in a big explosion made Nouel immediately thrown many meters and ended up rolling several times.

“Nice strike, but I don't....” Nouel didn't have time to finish his sentence, he immediately jumped to the side when many enemies attacked him directly, he got up and immediately dodged to the left.

Suddenly, a blue light shot towards Nouel, when it hit hard, there was an explosion that knocked Nouel into a wall, because of the intensity of the explosion, the wall broke down, making Nouel pass through another room and then fall to the lower floor after crossing the guardrail.

“Tch, that's new.” Nouel muttered under his breath, his shooting weapon already released when his body was thrown.

He hastily dodged to the side when three cyborgs came into the room, jumping to smash into the man's body.

“Captain, are you all right?” asked Vera through the communication device.

“Yes.”

“Need help?” asked Blaicer.

“No, you take care of it there, will finish here,” said Nouel, refusing the offer of help.

“Okay.”

“Copy that.”

When Nouel stood up, he received a punch swing from one of the enemies. In slow motion, the cyborg that was targeting it used great force as it swung its arm. Nouel was hit by a heavy punch that sent him flying backwards, both of his feet leaving marks on the floor.

“Cyborgs really can't be underestimated.” he muttered under his breath, another cyborg jumped to kick him, this time Nouel parried with both hands, then turned around while catching the cyborg's legs, then he slammed the body on the floor very hard.

The cyborg body that was slammed into the floor resulted in damage to the floor. Nouel himself slender jumped high forward towards the cyborg, who had also jumped towards him. The two men clashed fists in the air, producing a loud crashing sound.

When the two of them landed, they exchanged punches with fast movements, several fist fights and kicks between the two seemed balanced, until Nouel managed to kick the cyborg's chest until it was thrown far enough away, he immediately turned around to face another cyborg which was already swinging strong punch, luckily this time Nouel was able to dodge it. He unleashed a punch that immediately hit the cyborg's head to the floor so hard that blood spurted out as the floor and the cyborg man's head shattered.

From the hole where he appeared up there, many cyborgs came and fired shots at him successively.

“Tch, they're starting to be troublesome,” muttered Nouel feeling displeased, he immediately tried to run to avoid every shot that was aimed at him.

The four cyborgs immediately landed on the floor, then they immediately jumped and rushed forward to attack, Evan caught the hand of one of the cyborgs that was about to shoot him, the weapon fired successively as Nouel aimed upwards, then he spun his body around, throwing the cyborgs at him forward, then turned around to block another cyborg punch, he dodged the next punch, then performed a body twisting maneuver while releasing a kick towards the man's chest.

Two other cyborgs took out large and long guns, both on Nouel's left and right, they immediately aimed their guns at the man.

Before the attack could hit him, Nouel immediately took out two blue glowing plasma swords that were on his back armor, he parried every shot that was directed at him.

“This is quite exciting, then let's start to the next round.” Nouel grinned, several more shots were fired by the two cyborgs at almost the same time, amazingly, Nouel immediately parried the shots in both directions.

With mastered sword skills, Nouel can even slash a bullet until it bounces and then hits the hand of one of the cyborgs who shoots, when only one more cyborg continues to shoot at him, Nouel then runs towards the cyborg who shot him.

Nouel managed to get close, when he was within the attack radius, he slashed the weapon aimed at him, then stabbed the cyborg's chest until his sword went through the back, just as he drew his sword, he was immediately hit by the same shot where his body experienced a direct blue explosion propelling him far enough.Nouel hit the wall again, but this time only cracked the wall.

“I'm starting to not like the new weapon.” Nouel commented sarcastically, he immediately moved to the side, avoiding the stab of another cyborg who had a sword in his hand, with swift movements, both of them immediately clashed with slashes, fighting against each other.

Nouel suffered a loss because there were two other cyborgs who also carried out the attack, the two cyborgs fired successive shots at him. His two hands kept swinging the sword to parry every slash that was released by the cyborg man.

As another cyborg attacked, Nouel dodged backwards, then slashed at the cyborg's neck before then he thrust the sword in his left hand into the cyborg, he aimed the stabbed cyborg's body towards the back as successive shots were fired, then the hand his right parried another slash that the sword-wielding cyborg did. He threw the cyborg's stabbed body towards the shooting cyborg, then when both swords were used, he quickly slashed the cyborg's right hand with the sword, then decapitated the cyborg with the other sword.

“One last.” Nouel muttered while turning towards the armed cyborg, before the cyborg fired its weapon again, Nouel moved first, he threw one of the plasma swords at the cyborg.

Nouel commented on the drink. He shook his head, closed the bottle, and continued walking towards the field where teenagers were performing tricks with hoverboards.The objects they used were like skateboards but without wheels, hovering about half a meter above the ground as platforms. These boards were not cheap due to their design, shape, and the machinery that had to be adjusted to the user's size and weight.Nouel sat on the stairs where other spectators were seated around the steps.

From their interaction, it was clear that they had a good and close relationship.Smiling at the greeting, Vera responded politely, “I’ve been very well, as you can see.”“Don’t hesitate to talk to me if something doesn’t feel right,” said Professor Volkov, sounding like a father figure wanting to help his daughter.“I will.” Vera replied, nodding her head.Nouel interrupted their conversation, getting straight to the point. “Volkov, how’s the progress on examining those cyborgs?” Nouel’s way of speaking to the middle-aged man was casual, as if they were peers and held si

Dreams of his deceased friend always disturbed him, although Nouel wasn’t a sentimental person and didn’t prioritize emotions, it still affected him.Getting up from his bed, Nouel sat in the living room of his apartment. He stared out the open window, letting the cool morning breeze caress his face. The day was bright, thanks to the protective dome over the city, filtering the dangerous sunlight while maintaining its benefits.Suddenly, Nouel recalled one of his last conversations with Dvliericht, his late friend. They sat on Dvliericht’s backyard terrace, enjoying a cup of tea brewed by Dvliericht’s mother.“You know, I want to become a doctor,” Dvliericht said enthusiastically.Nouel, with a bored expression, replied, “I’ve known that for a while, you talk about it too often.”Nouel’s response made Dvliericht smile.“Out of all aspirations, why a doctor?” Nouel asked, appearing surprised.Dvlie

Nouel hadn’t noticed her arrival, perhaps due to being engrossed in his thoughts.“Is this your way of welcoming guests, Captain?” Vera greeted him with a smile.Nouel lowered his guard, then withdrew his hand from Vera’s grasp.“Why are you here?” Nouel inquired, not surprised but rather curious as to why the girl suddenly appeared in his kitchen. It’s worth mentioning that Nouel’s apartment had a high-security system, preventing just anyone from entering. However, for a cyborg with advanced technology like Vera, bypassing the apartment’s security was no challenge.“I wanted to invite you

The landfill site was located outside the city walls, and Nouel had already made a hole to enter and exit the city through a secret passage.“What are you doing here?” Dvliericht asked, having managed to catch up. He looked uncomfortable walking on the pile of trash, his gas mask protecting his entire face and head looked worn out and unfit for use.“Looking for the trash I need.” Nouel answered without looking, digging through the garbage. Since Nouel had been forced to stay in the shelter by Dvliericht, the two young men had developed a close friendship, despite having very different and somewhat contradictory personalities.Dvliericht placed his hands on his hips and scanned the surroundings. “We shouldn’t be here, if the city patrol catches us, it could be dangerous.”“In that case, k

Regardless of the aircraft’s condition, we’ll use it. It’s risky, but we have no other choice.” Makarov replied.“Let’s hope we make it.”Elsewhere, inside a large cargo aircraft, Volkov and his forces of robots and cyborgs, who were aware of the underground building being used as a headquarters, were preparing for their attack.“See, I told you this would work.” Clerick smirked evilly at Darina. “Instead of capturing and torturing one of them, it’s much better if we follow them discreetly and install a tracker on the target.”That’s how Volkov found out about the secret project being wor

However, Vera didn’t respond, despite being continuously ignored like that, Volkov kept trying to console and strengthen her resolve.“I know you’re very desperate with your body condition.

I don’t see any other humans within a 1-mile radius, we can execute the mission now.” Darina murmured while observing the small family through the scope of the sniper rifle she was aiming at the car. She herself was lying prone on the rocks, positioning herself strategically for the attack.“Moreover, this area is highly prone to accidents,” Clerick replied, standing next to Volkov. They were amidst the trees of the forest, monitoring using long-range binoculars.“Yeah.”On the other side, atop a tree, Finnick was adjusting the control of the machine device he had created. “My puppet’s status is stable now, we can act anytime.” He informed.“Good work, wait for the signal.” Volkov replied.They spent a few more seconds

    Chapter 132 – Failed Cyborg Project

    Hudson Hospital.A five-floor hospital, it was one of the major hospitals in Lycaelus City, admitting more than one new patient daily with various conditions. The hospital was always bustling with patients, and the number of nurses and medical staff working there was substantial.At this hospital, Ferdinand Volkov worked on his project. Whenever someone underwent amputation, they would be offered artificial limbs. Those who wanted to live normally would readily accept the offer. Similarly, those in need of organs would be offered either donor organ transplants or artificial organs. Since waiting for a donor or purchasing existing organs was costly, patients tended to opt for Volkov’s artificial organs. Besides being more affordable, easier to care for, these artificial organs and limbs had several advantages over those of regular humans. Gradually, over the years, Volkov’s cyborg project began to take shape.Unbeknownst to anyone, many of the surgeries to implant organs and artificial
