Chapter 59 Despite Theo’s recent encounter with an AMSO unit, it didn’t deter him. He had no intention of sneaking into more unattended red zones, not yet, at least. His focus was on something more practical: clearing out the nearby towns surrounding the Twinfront Sanctuary first. “Are you sure about
Chapter 58 Twinfront Sanctuary Theo frowned as Aries suddenly hooked her arm around his and rested her head on his shoulder. “Big Brother,” she cooed sweetly. He narrowed his eyes. Aries only acted like this when she wanted something. “Don’t you feel bored?” she asked innocently. “I mean, we’ve mostly
Chapter 57 Somewhere in the industrial slums in the Argo Province, inside an abandoned warehouse p> The heavy rain hammered on the rusted tin roof of the warehouse, drowning out most outside noise. But inside, beneath flickering overhead lights, a dozen men circled around a large, scarred table. Smoke curled
Chapter 56 “We also know that anyone with powers they can’t control, they either lock them up, register them, or worse. And now they’re painting all UMS as monsters-in-waiting,” Theo continued. Aries folded her arms on the table. “But they’re still the ones in power, Theo p> “That doesn’t make
Chapter 55 “Try not to get yourself killed before I finish filing my report,” Lexa said. Her voice was calm now, almost gentle and it made something flutter in Theo’s chest. He didn’t look back. “No promises p> He was just about to leave when her voice stopped him again.
Chapter 54 Theo clenched his jaw. The moment the system’s notification faded, he turned away from the others. He didn’t wait for thanks or questions. He already knew what was coming. He wasn’t supposed to be here. Trespassing into a restricted zone and an unauthorized use of powers without clearance.
Chapter 53 A few minutes earlier p> The shimmering barrier flickered as Commander Lexa and her team stepped through. Weapons drawn. Eyes sharp. But instead of chaos, they found eerie silence. The outer field was littered with the remains of MB Infectees – scorched, shattered, and split. The soil still
Chapter 52 Theo let out a slow breath, steadying his thoughts. He was too close. Too close to saving those survivors to back down now and time was ticking. Every second counted. He surged forward, moving through the dim hallway with swift, quiet steps. His boots barely made a sound
Chapter 51 Lexa’s reply was steady and unwavering. “Like I said, our priority is saving survivors and taking down infectees. That hasn’t changed p> The group fell silent for a moment, the weight of Lexa’s words settling over them. They all knew what it meant. Defying a direct order from
Chapter 50 Before Alexa, five AMS operatives stood in full gear, watching her with quiet anticipation. They were handpicked for their versatility – two Class 3s, two Class 4s, and one support-type Class 2. Experienced, but not overqualified. This was Lexa’s team. She activated the mission screen on her wrist
Chapter 49 Marlon’s expression hardened instantly. “We’re on our way p> Hayden turned on his heel without a word. Both men exited the observation deck and strode quickly toward the control room, the door hissing open as they entered. Inside, screens glowed with live surveillance feeds, digital maps, and red-highlighted
Chapter 48 Everyone inside the room fell silent. The teacher stepped forward slowly. “Are you sure it was the same person p> The girl who had just run up from the lower floor was shaking, her breath coming in quick gasps. She held onto the doorframe for support. “I-It’s the
Chapter 47 He parked the motorbike along the side of a cracked, broken road, then carefully covered it with a tarp and some branches for camouflage. Not far ahead, he spotted the barrier and patrol service hatch beyond the high school’s crumbling perimeter wall. After one last glance around, he
Chapter 46 Days passed quickly as Theo focused on preparations for the coming weeks. He purchased an extra truck for Aries and a large minibus that could carry all the kids in case of an emergency. He also bought a motorbike for quick solo travel when needed. While in the
Chapter 45 Hayden cleared his throat and continued, “As of today, we’re planning to dispatch more Class 5 Awakened to designated provinces to work closely with military forces,” the official stated, tapping the edge of his tablet. “They’ll operate under the direct command of the assigned officer in each province.
Chapter 44 The next morning p> It was already past eleven when Theo, Aries, and Calix finally made it to the dining table for a late brunch. Theo rubbed the sleep from his eyes, yawning as he slumped into his seat. He had skipped his usual morning exercises, planning to
Chapter 43 A few meters above a narrow walkway, hidden behind rusted fencing and shattered crates, a small group of survivors had huddled in silence. Now, they whispered urgently among themselves. “That guy’s getting torn apart,” a woman muttered, peering through the gaps. “He’s bleeding all over the place p>
Chapter 42 Theo wiped the sweat from his brow as he watched more survivors make their way toward the west auxiliary gate. A small smile tugged at his lips. He could still picture the relief on their faces. They were able to escape only because he had taken down twelve
Chapter 41 Theo tightened his grip on his axe, thinking another wave was coming, but instead, shadows emerged from hiding. Survivors. A woman stood with a dirt-covered child clinging to her leg. An older man limped nearby, one hand braced on a broken broom handle. Two teenagers stood close behind,
