After two hours since arriving in the city, Nouel submitted a report on everything that happened to Drax and Vera, while he took a break to rest his body and clear his mind. Then, a few hours later, he left his resting place, heading to a vast area filled with tombstones.Nouel visited the grave of his friend who had died a few years ago. Claiming not to be sentimental, Nouel showed that the statement was true. Currently, he didn’t say anything and didn’t display any particular expression.“I don’t know why I’m here,” Nouel spoke to himself while looking at the name on the tombstone. “But one thing’s for sure, you’re just paying a visit.”After a while, Nouel, enjoying the silent moment, received a transmission from someone. At that moment, the AI assistant informed him that the caller was Drax, and he quickly answered.“Do you need me?” Nouel asked without small talk.From the other side, Drax immediately reported to him. “Captain, I’ve successfully located the mysterious transmissio
The disturbing issue has been resolved, indeed, there was an insider causing the problem, although it wasn’t of their own accord. Learning about the problem of the cyborgs being reprogrammed by the enemy, Nouel wanted to address this issue as quickly as possible. His efforts were supported when Professor Volkov informed that the meeting schedule discussed earlier had been finalized. The meeting of the high-ranking officials or those managing the city was set to take place.The attendees included general Carter Ross, head of the special anti-terror and cyber-attack team, the direct superior of the cyborg squad captains. The captains included Nouelvaegnr Brysthiersk from Team Wolf, Lucrezia Auditoires from Team Eagle, Veilus Droigmar from Team Sabertooth, and Calvin Raymond, the head of city technology development. Also present were Ferdinand Volkov from the technology and biology division of the special forces, Mayor Alexander Mitchel, and Mervil Gustavo, the CEO of the largest company
Nouel’s apartment was quite spacious and filled with modern items, including some devices and machines that were the result of his own creations, as explained earlier in the story. While waiting for Lucrezia, Nouel took the opportunity to observe the city’s conditions and monitor criminal activities.Surprisingly, besides minor criminal activities such as theft, there was nothing interesting. Everything was already handled by local police and security officers. Indeed, according to the reports, there had been no movement from the rebels in Lycaelus City for several days since the last battle in front of NewTech Industries’ branch building in another sector.Rather than feeling relieved, Nouel became slightly worried and curious. At that moment, his analytical mind started imagining several possibilities of what the rebels might be planning.Shortly after, the doorbell rang. Nouel instructed his AI assistant to open the door. Within moments of the bell, Lucrezia stood beside Nouel. She
The journey took over forty minutes from district 12 to district 32. For your information, in the four domed cities, there is no smaller city resulting from branching off the main city. All smaller areas are separated and named as districts.This particular district appeared modern but neglected, intentionally giving off an eerie and unclean vibe created by its inhabitants. It was evident that patrols and security monitoring were infrequent, allowing the residents to act freely.Their destination was an area that seemed tough, with individuals, or more accurately, cyborgs, appearing like criminals. In this district, they seemed free to carry weapons, with some cyborgs having modified bodies, incorporating parts that functioned as firearms or sharp weapons.“Should I wear armor?” Lucrezia asked upon seeing the conditions. Clearly, she felt unsafe observing the conditions of the cyborgs in this district who seemed excessively unrestricted.“We don’t need armor, relax, they aren’t as bad
“Besides, boss, I don’t know the function of these stones. From any perspective, they don’t seem valuable at all.”In fact, Kyle had no idea what type of stones Nouel needed. For some reason, he hadn’t bothered to find out when Nouel didn’t explain anything about these stones.Nouel, not interested in small talk or explanations, posed a question to confirm. “Is this everything?”“Yes, I hired search services, even with advanced technology, these stones are no longer found on this continent. They might be on another continent far away, and those confirmed are in Antarctica—impossible locations to reach, and we don’t have suitable vehicles to cross continents.”“Really?” Nouel still seemed skeptical.Kyle nodded, then suggested, “If you want to make sure, I can show you.”“That’s troublesome, I don’t need it.” Nouel refused to do that, then he looked back at the pile of rocks. “Can your people help transport these to our vehicle?”“Of course.” Kyle immediately ordered his people to carr
Nouel began designing the blueprint for the implant chip he had previously recommended for production. He created everything spontaneously, as mentioned earlier; he had no intention of contributing to making the implant chip, his goal was merely to provide suggestions or ideas he thought of.At that moment, in his private lab, a holographic screen appeared, showing the process of creating the blueprint for the implant chip. The holographic screen clearly displayed all the circuitry models.This chip was made of highly durable silicon material resistant to all kinds of disturbances, including radiation, extreme temperatures, and high pressure. The chip functioned using a multi-layer security system consisting of three layers:Layer 1: Security code and algorithmsThe first layer consisted of highly complex security codes and algorithms challenging to decipher. These codes and algorithms were specifically designed to prevent hacking.Layer 2: Cyborg DNAThe second layer utilized the DNA
In the command room, all Wolf team members had already gathered. After Nouel contacted everyone to assemble in the Wolf team’s special room, both those inside the headquarters and those outside quickly gathered.Nouel began to speak, delivering some opening remarks. “For the past few days, we’ve had a lot of free time as our team is on a mission break. During this time, Drax has been working on a special assignment for me. Perhaps some of you know what he’s been up to. Today, the results of his work are in.”“We’ve obtained names that are likely sympathizers of the rebels, a total of five names. Team, this is something that falls within our duty and main goal. This team was formed to secure the city, especially against acts of terror and cybercrime. One of our tasks is also to prevent rebellion against the city government.”“I won’t ask, it’s a direct order from me. I want you to embark on a mission again, a secret and illegal mission just like before.”All Wolf team members seemed un
During the covert monitoring mission, Nouel, who didn’t actively participate, frequently visited the central headquarters to meet with Lucrezia and Veilus. He also spent more time in the training room, given the absence of assigned missions, facilitating the Wolf team members’ work.Nouel regularly checked the progress of chip implant manufacturing at NewTech’s production facility. This modern factory served as a hub for producing high-tech cybernetic technology, aiming to enhance the world of cybernetics. As the chief architect of the chip implant project, Nouel bore significant responsibility to ensure the security and quality of each produced device. He ensured that every production stage adhered to strict standards, from initial design to the integration process into the cyborgs.Maintaining the project’s integrity was crucial for Nouel. He continuously verified that no devices malfunctioned or suffered damage during production. Collaborating with the quality inspection team, he m
