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 had a mission to go to the special forces headquarters. He would divert all the cyborgs, while Drax would move stealthily to gather as much information as they needed.Nouel, in invisible mode, walked towards the casually stationed forces near the building. It was somewhat nostalgic since this building used to be a place he freely visited almost every day, but now it had become a dangerous location.His glasses scanned and observed every person and cyborg there. Each of them was armed, and bringing them all down wouldn’t be easy, maybe something he couldn’t do without weapons.“There are at least around fifty-eight people here, and it’s still morning. Have some already taken missions? Ah, it doesn’t matter. The real issue is how I defeat these people unarmed.”Despite complaining about it, Nouel continued walking in. There were two guard robots, but they didn’t react, allowing Nouel to enter freely. Perhaps because Nouel was still identified as a member of the force or he himsel
Due to the chaos caused by Nouel, Drax could easily slip away. Even when caught on surveillance cameras, no one paid attention to him, as the guards were too engrossed in the fight between Nouel and Lucrezia.Drax was skilled at infiltration, moving carefully and effortlessly. Even entering General Ross’s office, equipped with a security system, he could swiftly hack it without triggering any alarms. With the room empty, Drax had the freedom to search for any physical evidence related to the information he and Nouel needed.“There’s nothing tangible that can be used as evidence. I’ll copy all the data from this computer.”After the search, Drax proceeded to hack General Ross’s computer. The hacking took a few minutes, and fortunately, he succeeded in accessing the computer, proceeding to conduct some searches.“This is frustrating, there’s so much data stored here.” Drax grumbled softly. The computer contained numerous files, leaving Drax perplexed.Drax wanted to check each file indi
The cold night air cut through the bones, and gentle raindrops started falling from the cloudy sky. Following Nouel’s infiltration, a massive search was conducted. It seemed like every cyborg from the city’s security forces was involved, every corner of the city was now filled with cyborgs conducting searches.Nouel found himself in his hiding place, intending to send the files he had obtained directly. He wanted to publicize the evidence that he was not guilty of what had happened. However, two problems arose: Nouel struggled to connect to the internet, unable to contact anyone. Secondly, if he started going online, he would be detected by those looking for him in the blink of an eye.Right now, what the man was thinking about was reflecting on everything that had happened to him.“Drax is dead, so what should I do?” He muttered softly, trying to find the best solution to handle everything. The planning he had done was so thorough and quite extensive, with Drax’s assistance. Now, bec
Nouel paused for a moment to plan the next steps.“In the next few hours, we need to avoid areas that might be under surveillance,” Nouel said in a low voice. “We also need to be mindful of potential checkpoints and patrols along the roads.”“Of course, boss, we’ll observe digital monitoring patterns and look for blind spots where we can move undetected. But we need to make sure to avoid areas with many surveillance cameras.”After detailing the plan, Nouel continued his journey cautiously. He attempted to steer clear of main roads that might be closely monitored, opting for less-traveled side routes. For a while, his efforts paid off, but eventually, he had to navigate through crowded areas. The route to the government building was bustling with activity and many people.Passing common facilities alongside residents, Nouel walked casually, and his weapon went completely unnoticed. Even the specialized armor he wore remained unrecognized, thanks to the hologram projection covering his
After unleashing that attack, Nouel proceeded by running towards Veilus and delivered a kick. Veilus, who had just experienced an explosion, was thrown far after being hit by Nouel’s attack, ending up crashing into the wall.“Score one for us.” Nouel murmured with a smile, pleased with successfully throwing Veilus with his kick.“What kind of drones can shoot lasers? Something that small should only serve as your extra eyes.” Veilus muttered softly as he got up.“These are part of the equipment and toys I’ve created.”“You damaged my armor. No toy can do that.”Nouel waved his hand dismissively while responding, “Yeah, just 20%. It won’t endanger your life. So, don’t dramatize it.”“Still up for a fight? Let’s do it the old way.” Veilus clenched his fists, throwing a challenge to Nouel.“Oh, a fight like weird and foolish men? Of course, let’s do it.” Nouel happily accepted the challenge. His drones were reattached to the armor he wore, and he got ready. Although Veilus had a larger a
