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
Nouel disregarded the AI’s suggestion, his effort remained unexecuted as the entire place suddenly shattered, forcing Nouel back into his own thoughts. Unbeknownst to anyone, some data infiltrated Nouel’s mind during this abrupt event.When Nouel regained consciousness, he held his head, then knelt down, prompting Lucrezia to approach.“Are you okay?” Lucrezia asked.Nouel smiled and slowly stood up. “Yes, just a slight headache. What happened?”“I detected dangerous activity, Captain, so I forced the entrance closed and destroyed the computer system to save you,” Drax promptly answered, explaining his actions.“Good job, you saved me just in time.”Although Nouel was gradually recovering from the virtual world’s attack, he felt something peculiar in his memory. Vague images and unusual memories surfaced as a consequence of the previous assault. However, he chose to conceal these feelings and experiences from his team members.As Lucrezia, with genuine concern, inquired about his cond
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
Night fell, and Nouel gathered the Wolf team members, even the two cyborgs who had fallen in the previous mission had rejoined. They suffered no severe injuries or damages, allowing them to recover and be ready for the upcoming mission in a few hours.“Listen, team, we will proceed with the mission.” Nouel began speaking in front of all the prepared members.Nouel quickly explained what they were about to do, the current mission was detailed to them.“In our last mission, I obtained some information linking these rebels to NewTech. We know that NewTech harbors many dark sides and corruptions. I don’t want to expose their disgrace, but if they are proven to collude with rebels and endanger the government, you won’t just stand by, right?”“This is an illegal mission, I know that. We can’t take a legal mission because if this one is known to outsiders, especially NewTech executives, all the evidence we want will be hidden beforehand. This is the best way we can do.”“Earlier today, I did
Bypassing security systems was no stranger to Nouel and his team, especially breaking into safes. However, it turned out that this safe was the latest technology owned by NewTech, where its security system was multi-layered, not only physical but also digital. Fortunately, Nouel had an AI assistant and virtual technology, allowing him to take control of the system in the virtual world, while in reality, Drax took over. “This safe is quite advanced, equipped with a Biometric Identity Verification System. Unfortunately, I’ve studied this system for a long time, it’s not a big issue.” Nouel said in his mind as he began hacking. The task was not easy since they had to collaborate, breaching almost all defense walls simultaneously. Their coordination, without direct communication, had to be tested and executed flawlessly. Otherwise, errors would arise, and the break-in would fail. “Okay, I was wrong. This is really tough, I’ve never dealt with something like this. I hope Drax can coopera
Nouel distributed chips to Vera, Blaicer, and Drax, avoiding lengthy explanations. There was no need to disclose everything he planned to do, time did not allow for extensive discussions.“What is this?” Blaicer asked.“One of the prototypes I’m developing. Don’t talk too much, activate it before you feel its impact.”“Is this a shield barrier?” Drax mumbled, activating it immediately. Even though he was not entirely sure about Nouel’s intentions, Vera and Blaicer followed the instructions, promptly activating the device.Nouel smiled, raising both hands. His helmet covered his entire head, and suddenly, sparks emanated from the entire armor on Nouel’s body.“This is dangerous.”After a few seconds of electrical sparks, an electromagnetic energy wave spread across Nouel’s body, disabling the entire system throughout the building.Vera looked at Drax and Blaicer. She and the two cyborg comrades were unaffected, the small round chips they used were immediately shattered. It turned out t
Bullets whizzed through the air, creating a symphony of metallic echoes as Nouel and the Wolf Squad stealthily maneuvered through enemy gunfire. Their movements were synchronized, navigating through the bullets that darted around them. Azrael, the expert sniper, skillfully dispatched enemies from a distance with precision shots. Veliant, the high-speed attacker, launched assaults, throwing grenades and balancing between close-range and long-range combat.Meanwhile, as Nouel came under fire, he swiftly activated his shield and donned an oxygen mask adorned with bright blue lines, along with his usual glasses. With quick movements, he unsheathed a pair of plasma swords.“It’s time to act,” Nouel muttered, effortlessly cutting down each enemy approaching him. Not only did he fend off direct attacks, but Nouel also skillfully deflected and blocked incoming bullets, calmly approaching the enemy leader engaged in combat against his subordinates.However, these foes were no pushovers. They p
As the remaining enemies prepared to advance, the roar of engines suddenly grew closer. In an instant, a large truck emerged from the direction of the highway. Bodies of defeated enemies lay strewn across the road, and the truck sped quickly, colliding with one of the fallen bodies.“Oh shit,” muttered Nouel as he saw the truck lose control due to the impact, plowing through the fallen body. Nouel swiftly leaped away from the truck, now turned into a deadly obstacle. The high-speed truck crashed into the newly appeared enemies, hitting them and crushing their bodies.Some were thrown to the side of the road or even onto the sidewalk. Nouel, standing on the roadside, observed this unexpected scene of destruction with a calm and overly composed expression.“Okay, I didn’t expect that,” commented Nouel quietly.After assessing that all enemies were defeated, Nouel quickly retrieved his plasma swords, taking slow steps as if fatigued from the previous battle, although that wasn’t the actu
