After three teams completed their respective missions, Azrael and the Sniper team proceeded to undertake the mission of taking down Benjamin Turner, while Valiant would handle Brian Rickson. Currently, Azrael and his team were moving towards Benjamin Turner’s location. Azrael led his team with brisk steps.“Our target is Benjamin Turner, Director of Economics and Trade. The latest information indicates that he is in the city shopping center,” said Azrael, detailing their attack plan. “We won’t waste any opportunity or time, what happened before will not be repeated.”His three companions nodded in response. Azrael then turned to the man walking beside him. “G4, how are you holding up?”“Much better, I won’t repeat the mistake.” G4 replied confidently, ensuring that a similar incident would not occur again this time.“Good, I hope this mission will go smoothly and quickly.”Not discussed during the journey, they finally arrived in front of the bustling shopping center. Despite the late
Valiant led Team Beta towards the military base. For your information, cyborgs who serve as special forces like them have specialized components in their body’s engine parts, a model slightly different from regular cyborgs.The purpose is to facilitate, speed up, and strengthen their movements and attacks. During missions, the engine components of special forces cyborgs are adjusted to their tasks. In other words, special forces cyborgs are several times stronger than regular cyborgs. They can also run fast, so during missions, they don’t need a vehicle if the distance isn’t too far.They moved towards the first target’s location, Brian Rickson, at the City Military Base. Infiltrating a place like this was undoubtedly a very difficult job. Throughout the journey, Valiant tried to think of the best way to infiltrate. Although there weren’t too many security systems, the guards or military personnel were highly trained in combat. Moreover, some of them were cyborgs, implying they might
The distraction team, comprised of B4 and B2, stealthily navigates through the corridors recently traversed by the patrol team. Armed with sophisticated equipment capable of bypassing sensors and disrupting existing security systems, they swiftly execute their plan. Simultaneously, the execution team, led by Veliant and accompanied by B3, seizes the opportunity created by the distraction team to reach their primary objective: the operations room where Brian Rickson is located.B4 wastes no time, damaging ventilation ducts and tossing explosives inside. Meanwhile, B2 not only activates advanced devices but also sabotages various objects and equipment they encounter. Their efforts prove successful as numerous patrol soldiers rush to the source of the explosions, while the duo has already moved on to create chaos elsewhere.Veliant and B3, in a different location, navigate through larger and more open corridors, searching for the entrance to Brian Rickson’s location. They move swiftly ye
After successfully completing the mission, Nouel and the sub-team decided to assist Team Beta, knowing they would face considerable difficulty. The military is a force accustomed to warfare, and infiltrating their own base is no easy feat. Assessing the level of difficulty, Nouel made the decision to intervene personally.“Captain, I believe Team Veliant has successfully executed the target.” Drax informs, indicating that the entire mission has been accomplished.“In that case, let’s help them escape.” Nouel smiles with intent and purpose.“What are we going to do?” Vera asks, preparing for whatever action the sub-team will take.“We attack directly.” Nouel responds with a casual tone.“What?” all three of them ask simultaneously.Nouel, still casual, continues his statement. “Try not to get caught. We don’t want this mission to cause a rift among many parties.”“Then we shouldn’t attack a military base. That’s extremely dangerous.” Drax suggests and rebukes Nouel for what sounds like
Throughout the journey, no one spoke among them. In reality, everyone was connected through virtual communication, a system that allowed them to communicate telepathically, eliminating the need to speak words directly.This was something often and routinely done by the Wolf Team members. By doing so, everything they conveyed went into the heads of everyone connected. All Wolf Team cyborgs could do it, while Nouel, whose body was still 100% human, received assistance from his devices.“Captain, this isn’t right. Why are we surrendering so easily?” Azrael protested. He questioned Nouel for not giving orders to resist, and the situation turned out quite the opposite.“Yeah, these accusations, whoever reported them is clearly trying to frame us.” Veliant added, sharing the same sentiment as his comrade.“I know. But resisting would only get the innocent killed.” Nouel responded calmly. These words sounded like Nouel was a heroic and magnanimous person. However, a few seconds later, Nouel
Days passed quickly, that morning, the atmosphere in Lycaelus City suddenly buzzed with the breaking news.Swiftly, the news of the previous night’s events spread throughout the city. Electronic billboards in various corners of the city lit up with Nouel’s face and the announcement of his status as the most wanted fugitive.“Breaking news: Leader of the special forces, Nouelvaegnr Brysthiersk, is currently the most wanted fugitive by the authorities. He successfully escaped from custody last night. The public is urged to provide any information that could aid in his capture.”This news created a stir in the community. Nouel’s face appeared on television screens, billboards, and social media. All eyes were on the man who was previously considered a hero. Yes, a hero because just a few days ago, he played a significant role in creating the chip implants that now allowed cyborgs to avoid cybercrime hacking.“They are truly annoying, not hesitating to feature me on the main news.” Nouel m
The next day, Nouel contacted Lucrezia again. At that moment, Nouel was on his way to the prison where his subordinates were held. Meanwhile, Lucrezia remained in her apartment, sitting in front of the hologram computer displaying the prison map. She would handle the computer work while Nouel worked in the field. Although Nouel could ask his AI assistant for help, he was concerned that using his AI might be detected by others.Enemies still needed to be defeated, and Nouel couldn’t expose too much of what he had. Besides, Nova, the AI, had specific tasks, so Nouel refrained from using it. One of Nova’s current tasks was to keep Nouel’s presence hidden from all types of tracking and surveillance cameras. Moreover, Nova secured the transmissions between Nouel and Lucrezia. Lucrezia’s involvement was more straightforward and faster than Nova’s potential hacking.“By the way, do you think Veilus and all the city forces will suspect I’m coming to the prison?” Nouel asked, sounding cautious
Actually, escaping from prison is something quite difficult. Fortunately, Nouel had anticipated and estimated everything, even considering the number of guards and their weaponry. He was confident he could defeat the guards and escape smoothly.Some paths and corridors connecting to his escape route were intentionally closed, the doors were immediately locked, halting the approaching forces. Meanwhile, the forces that had already crossed the barriers of each corridor were immediately attacked and quickly subdued.While they were running, Nouel immediately contacted his AI assistant. “Nova, can you take over navigation and assist us in our escape?”“We’ll do our best, boss.” Nova replied, then promptly carried out the given instructions.“Great. Oh, and can you scan both of us? I think they might have secretly implanted tracking devices on us.” Nouel also quickly instructed and asked for Nova’s assistance, suspecting that this might be someone’s plan to let them escape to find out what
Nouel was in the garbage area, in a slum district where there was a massive landfill site originating from various areas, especially the city center, resulting in the landfill site being mountainous. 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
Armed with his newly acquired weapon, Xander began attacking the pursuing robot troops. Thanks to his long experience, Xander could shoot accurately, causing the robots to fall one by one. He took precise aim, picking off the robots one by one.“Wow, you’re really good, so accurate with your shots.” Velia praised and appreciated Xander’s actions through the earpiece.“It’s not enough yet, there are still some robots evading my attacks!” Xander exclaimed, then explosions were heard, destroying the walls of the long corridor.“Keep it up, Xander, we’re approaching the exit!” Velia cheered, seeing that their exit route was close ahead.“Of course, I’ll keep attacking until all the ammo is gone!”When the rover vehicles finally reached the end of the escape route, they immediately halted. Xander and several others hurriedly got out of the rover and attempted to close off the escape route. They collectively tried to seal off the passage.Some others disembarked and headed towards the aircr
Inside the underground headquarters, after Xander delivered this information, everyone immediately started packing, which naturally took a very long time as everyone was unprepared for evacuation.“The aircraft is completed, but it hasn’t been tested yet. Should we still go?” Dimitri asked, concerned about the aircraft’s condition, which hadn’t undergone testing yet.“Yes, we don’t have time anymore. 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
June 9, 2094Time passed quickly, years went by, and humans had grown accustomed to synthetic food. Numerous factories were established in all four cities, and cyborg projects began to be implemented. Initially, it was limited to body parts like hands and legs, then expanded to organs like eyes. After the success of the project applied to Vera, cyborgs started to appear all over the city.Due to the special requirements for humans to endure the surgical process, the limited number of cyborgs created across the city meant they weren’t dominant yet. Only a few hundred existed, mostly composed of city security forces, not commercially available to ordinary residents. Therefore, despite the success, Volkov continued experiments and developments to make the cyborgs he created more perfect and applicable to all humans.While working on advancing cyborg technology, Volkov accidentally discovered several individuals recruited by Dimitri and Makarov. He was surprised by this development becaus
For several days, Vera refused to eat, she continued to rage. Although she couldn’t get up and walk, her hands were still healthy, and she tried every way to end her life. She was depressed and desperate with her life.Some time later, Volkov came and comforted her. 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. But you can’t torture yourself like this continuously.” Volkov spoke gently and softly, truly reflecting like a man who could be relied upon by Vera, who really needed it.After ignoring Volkov for a while, Vera finally spoke up, asking him a question. “Professor, what would you do if you were in my position?”For a moment, Volkov didn’t respond, he glanced briefly out the window, then turned his attention back to Vera, calmly and softly speaking to the teenage girl. “I think I would also feel desperate, and I would also want to die. Bu
Thanks to advanced medical technology, Vera, who suffered serious injuries due to Darina’s actions, was able to regain consciousness quickly. Severe injuries that should have put the teenage girl in a coma turned out to heal much faster. Unfortunately, there were still limitations in the equipment and technology applied at the hospital, as they couldn’t yet cure serious injuries resulting in physical disabilities. And that’s what happened to Vera, the injuries she sustained left her whole body permanently disabled.For a few seconds, Vera glanced around, her eyes feeling very sore as she looked at the ceiling of the room. The light in the room wasn’t dazzling, yet Vera’s eyes still felt sore and irritated.Vera closed her eyes, trying to move to pull the blanket, but she had no access to her body, she couldn’t move any part of her body.“What’s this? I can’t move my body.”Vera tried to turn her head sideways, but she couldn’t do it, she couldn’t move her head even slightly. Failing i
Finnick, Darina, and Clerick were already in position, monitoring the movement of the electric car driven by the small family from a distance. Volkov himself was opening a transparent tab as if he were working on something.“Okay, I think the subject has taken the bait. 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
While Clerick was working, experiments were postponed. Darina and Volkov focused on being doctors at Hudson Hospital, they appeared very kind and friendly to the staff, nurses, and the patients they treated. This made no one suspicious or even think that they were evil people who had conducted various experiments that violated ethics and humanity.In addition to their friendly nature, their work was also very good and fast. Their surgical skills were very reliable and made them among the most trusted doctors. They also interacted quite a lot with every patient they treated, so almost all patients could get to know them well.Unbeknownst to them, two days had passed. This was the day when Clerick would present the results of his work.“Huh, it’s also enjoyable to train in acting by playing as a good and holy doctor.” Darina stretched her body. This time she was in the elevator going down to the lab, a man named Finnick who also worked there immediately shook his head.“I thought you’d
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
