Igor and Zayn finally made it to land after swimming through a strong wave. They thought they would be swept away and never make it to shore, but luckily they did.Now they were at Dylan's apartment to pick up Dylan's car as their transportation to the city center. The trip from Akron to the city center would take an hour."Can you drive?" Zayn asked Igor."Of course I can. I've lived in the upper world and have a car in case you didn't know.""You're lucky. I even forget how to drive.""Are you really from the upper world?" Igor tried to joke.But even though it was a joke, to Zayn it seemed like an insult. Zayn wondered if he was really from the upper world? Because everyone from the upper world had their own transportation but Zayn couldn't even drive a car."I'm sorry, I was just joking. Don't take it too seriously.""I am originally from the upper world and I lost my memory from restarting. So please watch your language." Zayn got into the car.They finally traveled to the city c
"Please take the first aid kit in the first row from the right. We'll catch up with Igor and Zayn. It looks like the earthquake also hit the city center so we lost contact with them.""Then where are we taking them? There's no way if they're injured, we'll bring them back to this base."Dylan finished putting all the things he needed into a small suitcase. "To my apartment.""Ah you're right. Wait for me!" Gabriel ran after Dylan towards the entrance and exit rooms of this place.They didn't have much time because there might be another earthquake. So as soon as possible they had to get out of the sea water and find a safe place on land.Dylan had to pull Gabriel while swimming so that she could keep up with Dylan's speed.Ugh.Gabriel coughed when she accidentally swallowed seawater when she was almost at the surface."I'm fine." Gabriel stopped Dylan who wanted to help her. "Then how do we get to the city center?""Shit! My car was taken by Igor and Zayn. Even if I have to buy a new
The RACE team began to mobilize. They approached carefully and structured according to plan. Dylan moved straight towards the lobby, while Zayn went to the back of the building, where the CCTV room was. Then Igor flew up to the roof.Dylan made himself invisible. He was able to pass through the security scans because he was using protection abilities. Dylan's guess was correct. The atmosphere outside the building looked calm, but the people inside the building were very busy. They were moving around in case there was an another earthquake. At least that was the information Dylan got from people passing nearby.Dylan headed to the top floor of this building. That was where the system's brain was stored. It was a highly guarded and dangerous place. Not only human guards, but also robot guards were involved. Therefore, Dylan could not rashly enter.The system brain was a round object shaped like a pimpong ball. It was called a brain not because it looked like a brain, but because it wa
"Where's Zayn?" asked Gabriel once Dylan and Igor returned. Last she had heard the fake alert about another earthquake and tsunami, and she thought Zayn would be back with them."Zayn is still unreachable. We'll wait for him here. The people inside are in a panic because they think the disaster announcement is real. So maybe Zayn is looking for a way to escape," Dylan replied."You should wait for Zayn there."Igor looked toward the back seat, where Gabriel was sitting. "We can only wait on the roof. And it would be very suspicious if three people came out of the building at the same time and headed to this car."Everyone was in suspense. The brain of the system was already in Dylan's hands, but one member of their team was still in there. And another thing to be aware of was that the system brain could not last more than 1 hour outside of its protective barrier. Dylan also kept an eye on the main system building in case Zayn got out of there at any time. Zayn's role in this mission
Dylan could smile with relief. The system brain had been successfully secured. It was floating again. But Dylan had to create a new transparent container so that he could monitor it 24 hours. Therefore, Dylan took the equipment in the lab. He took several pieces of glass and iron. Then cut them to the same size. After that, Dylan modified the new cable connections using the tools available. Dylan was used to doing this in the normal world before. Plus, with the intelligence ability he already had, he was even more adept at it.Finally, after struggling for a few minutes, Dylan was able to complete the new storage for the system brain that was already connected to the electricity. Dylan carefully took the system brain and placed it in the new container. "It worked!" he excited. The container that Dylan had made successfully made the system brain work again. Then suddenly there was a notification sound from the camera installed at the main entrance of this place. There were Gabriel
Being a researcher was new to Dylan. Even though he already had research ability, it still felt unfamiliar.He had managed to get Gabriel out of the lab. And now the rest of the RACE team was sleeping in their rooms. Meanwhile, Dylan was still observing the brain system.After observing the object, it turned out that Dylan could not immediately extract all of its abilities. He had to go through some pretty complicated stages. So tonight Dylan could only take notes on what he could do in the future.Dylan's body was already aching from looking down for several hours. He stretched to alleviate the pain. But when he stood up, Dylan's ears suddenly picked up a loud sound like a phone being disconnected. Dylan had to cover both ears because it was quite painful.Dylan didn't know why, but he was sure something was going on with the system.Suddenly Dylan fell unconscious.Dylan opened his eyes again with ragged breathing. He looked around him. This place was very dark. Dylan thought he ha
"I'm going out for a little while on business. Do you guys mind staying at the base?" Dylan again conveyed his intention to leave the base to the rest of the RACE team. "Can I ask you something?" asked Gabriel."I know what you want," Zayn quipped.Gabriel grimaced. "I want to eat pizza. Can you bring me that later?"'"No," Dylan replied. "I'm going on important business, not to drop into a restaurant. Have you forgotten that I'm already dead in the minds of the cops?""That's if you meet them. If you don't meet them, then you're safe." Gabriel was still trying to persuade Dylan to buy her a pizza."No. Is there anything else you guys want to ask before I leave the base?"Igor and Zayn shook their heads. "Have a good day!" shouted Gabriel and she went back to her room."She's getting her monthly period. That's why she asked for pizza because she eats it every time she gets her period." Zayn covered his mouth. "How am I supposed to know this?"Dylan was also surprised, how could Zayn
Dylan ran into the main room to get the electric shock device and shot Igor with it, knocking him unconscious. Then Dylan ties Igor to a pole. Dylan went to Gabriel and Zayn's room to wake them up. But since it's quite difficult, he's forced to douse both of them with water in a glass. Gabriel woke up first, coughing and spluttering."I have a headache," Gabriel complained and held her head."You stay here, I'll go to Zayn's room." Dylan moved quickly. "Zayn apparently just woke up too."Are you okay?" asked Dylan. Unlike Gabriel, Zayn looked fine."I'm just sleepy.""Don't you remember anything?"Zayn scratched his head. "I was having breakfast with Gabriel and Igor." Zayn's eyes bulged. It seemed like he was just coming to his senses."He must have put something in your food and drinks.""What do you mean?" asked Zayn in confusion."Igor made you all unconscious because he wanted to steal the brain system to give to another researcher. He wants an ability that doesn't know it exist
