The six remaining infected came through the steel door of the storage bunker. Their twisted limbs scraped against the floor. The smell of their rotting flesh was really bad. It was a mix of copper, stagnant water and decaying organs. In the past, Idris Cole would have been really scared if he had heard just one of these things coming. He would have hidden in a shadow holding his breath until his lungs hurt hoping the monster would pass him by.Now looking at the group of monsters he felt nothing. The special liquid from the primary evolution life elixir was still in his blood. It made his skin feel weird like it was tingling with electricity. His vision was really sharp. He could see the cracks in the yellowed teeth of the lead walker. This walker used to be an executive. He was still wearing the remains of a suit.The executive walker jumped forward its fingernails clawing at the air. Its movements used to seem fast to Idris.. Now they seemed slow and easy to predict. Idris did not s

The pale moonlight cut through the broken clouds casting long shadows across the ruined courtyard of the Vanguard Outpost. The concrete blast walls, fifteen feet high were scarred by bullet impacts and dark stains where the greasy rain had dragged soot down their faces for a year. Inside the air was heavy with the smell of dead flesh, mildew and rusted vehicles. Fifty walkers shuffled around making a low disturbing noise with their throat clicks and footsteps.Idris Cole stepped through the twisted front gates his right hand holding a new longsword. The blade was pitch-black. Seemed to pull in the light with a thin crimson line pulsing with a rhythm that matched Idriss fast heartbeat. The air around the blade warped slightly from the heat it gave off.Rhea Knox stood beside him her fingers wrapped tight around the hilt of a rusted iron knife. She wasn't a soldier anymore. Some serum had unlocked her potential turning her eyes into bright glowing embers of tactical calculation. She cou

The smell of burned blood and concrete filled the air. It was a heavy fog that would make most people cough.. Idris Cole was not like most people. He was no longer limited by his body. He stood on top of a dead monster. His chest. Fell slowly. His lungs were able to filter out the air and only take in oxygen.Idris closed his eyes. He needed a moment to think about the power that was now inside him. It was a lot to take in. He felt like he had swallowed a sun.He told the system to show him his attributes. A blue holographic screen appeared in front of him. It showed him his stats.Host: Idris ColePersonal Level: 5Experience: 854/1600Strength: 25Agility: 25Endurance: 25Intelligence: 27Sensory Perception: 26Current Core Features Active:1.

The air in the cavern was thick and heavy. It vibrated with a new energy. Hundreds of freed slaves lay on the floor. They were still down not getting up. The shadow of warlord Kaels ' broken robot suit was just lying there. It was. Still. Idris Cole stood in front of all those people. He had his hand on the handle of his very long super-sharp sword. The sword had a line on it. It was pulsing, like it was alive. It made his face look sharp. His eyes were calm. They were like stones.Beside him, Rhea Knox stood tall. She was like a goddess of war in her armor. Her armor was special. It hummed with power. It cleaned itself. It got rid of all the dirt and dust from the fight. She held a silver pad tightly. She was still thinking about what they had learned. They had found a powerful AI core. They had plans for a cannon network. Their operation was getting bigger. It was not about a small area anymore. They were building something that could change everything.Rhea Idris said in their mind

The Grey Grid was crying. That was the way Idris Cole could describe the bad rain that was hitting the strong roof of the Vanguard Outpost. Outside these walls, the broken city of Sector Zero was a bad place with old metal, broken glass and a lot of sick people walking around. The rain did not make the smell of death go away it just made it worse. It mixed the smell of blood with the smell of bad air and old things. If you went out in that rain you would die slowly and painfully. The bad rain would eat away at your clothes. Leave you open to the sick people.Inside the Vanguard Outpost, everything was different.Idris stood by the window of what used to be a military place. He looked out over the land. The outpost was on a hill, which gave them a good view of the road below. For the first time in a year, Idris was not cold. He was not hungry.. Most importantly he was strong.He looked at his hands. Was amazed. A few days ago he was hurt and bleeding. He had been betrayed by Vance, his
