[ Moira Head Office Detected_ ]
"I found it," reported Seth in a tone of firmness as always.
Since successfully defusing the weapon of mass destruction, Seth feels he is getting an incredible injection of energy. Face intense situations, get him addicted to the adrenaline rush that rises, and the excitement of successfully completing missions or blowing up the target's head so quickly,
The pleasure he did not get in his whole life. Seth's decision to accept Raven's proposal and employment contract is anti-mainstream. It doesn't matter to him, finishing off the bad guys.
The idealist has always wanted to finish off the type of people like this crazy group. Seth would never mind being sent to any region to hunt down his targets.
Large steel-walled room. The fortress was magnificent for Moira alone while all her subordinates worked in dangerous areas, and they could have been killed horribly at any time.
Moira’s office was different, the only place with nil radiation exposure levels.
"What a fucking woman! She can relax in the fortress of her office safely, away from radiation exposure." Seth grumbled, cursing. "I was astonished. Here the radiation exposure is very high; how can the room be safe like this, and can you avoid it all? I mean, her office is still inside the facility. Come on, there must be something in the way? Steel doors are not enough."
[ Find it. Whatever the odds are, it could lead us into Avalscar_ ]
Seth nodded. "I'll find a way to get in there."
Looking for a driveway option, the steel door was fitted with a digital numeric keypad panel and required a Moira access card. Seth remembers he got a special access card while looting Moira's corpse.
"Oh, yes. Looks like it's here."
The Access Card was marked by Moira's fingerprint and a photo of her face. Seth put it in the slot; now it remains to decipher how much the digital code is. Using his tablet to hack again. It took Seth about two minutes to gain access to the steel door.
The steel door moved slowly. The top light was originally red; it has now changed to green. Something whirring sounded from inside the door.
[ Cssssssssshhh! ]
Wide open in half, white smoke came out from under the door; Seth slipped into it. After the steel door, there is a particular glass door that opens wide when the steel door behind Seth's body is tightly closed.
"Oh, I know why this place is so safe. This special bulletproof glass also guards it. But it's still weird. You know, it's like there's a big wall separating them. This is not the only barricade. There must be something else."
Seth moves wary, suspicious. Perhaps Moira set a transparent trap in case someone unwanted seemed to sneak in. However, this is indeed the safest place in the facility. Seth put the gun in the holster again.
"Too vigilant."
[ You have to be careful, Hunter. ]
Seth began to search all corners of the room, looting archives, laptops, and documents scattered on the table. He found a personal record with the code name; Hellion.
"I found all the documents. Important archives. Hellion. This is what you're looking for, Raven. So, the disgusting and annoying green liquid has the name CTX12. That's the biochemical name. Self-made derivatives of the reaction become more dangerous. These crazy people suck. Can you−"
[ Nice. We will extract all those important documents. You have nothing left. Cargo is on its way. ]
Seth read the file carefully. All descriptions and markings on the boards are taped to the walls. Those files are the cylindrical designs of portable weapons of mass destruction that he successfully disarmed earlier.
"She sold it illegally. This project, Classified. She lied to Barkovitch just to play him. I told you, didn't I? That woman poisons the world and sucks!"
[ You executed him. Don't take this personally. ]
Seth laughed mockingly. He shrugged his shoulders. "Who made this personal? That's you, right? Yeah. I'm just teasing you, Raven."
Using mask scanner mode, he searches for the whereabouts of Moira's secret safe. He has yet to find any leads on Avalscar. But, he was sure – Moira must have hidden it for her own sake.
"Where are you hiding? You must be around here somewhere, right? Remembering your master. Avalscar is so very important. She must have hidden it in the safest place, so no one could find it."
From mask scanner mode, Seth discovers the safe is behind a small cabinet where Moira designed the room to be a relaxing room, inside which there is a large flat-screen television.
Seth fumbles, and something strange is detected behind an antique relic statue at a slight angle of several degrees to the left. He grasped the head of the antique relic and tried to turn it.
"I know! Moira must have a secret room."
When the statue was rotated, something opened wide from the other side of the Cabinet slot. He moves robotically, and a steel box with a digital lock button comes out.
"Huh, she always uses the same pin. Who would have thought? Moira's not that smart?"
The safe is wide open; this time, a lever is inside. Seth frowned. "A Handle?! Another way to the gates of hell?"
[ You're being sarcastic, Hunter. ]
"Insensitive," Seth said, laughing blandly. He lowered the lever.
Another room on the other right side wall was wide open.
"Bingo. I found something. Looks like a secret room? No one would have thought, would they?"
Seth stepped into it; the room was as big as a compartment. There was nothing but a special storage box in clear glass with a strange Cube object with an unusual surface.
The mask scanner mode system identified that it was Avalscar.
"Gotcha. I'm with Avalscar, Raven."
[ Well done, secure it, Hunter. The cargo has arrived close to the side of the container. Make it way. Continue the rest of your mission. ]
"I get it done."
Bulletproof glass box, Seth does not detect mines or anything in the vicinity. He touched her side, the atmosphere calmed down, and nothing happened. He was looking for a way to get the Avalscar out of there.
"This Cube has a strange shape. This is Avalscar, right? It's just like a regular antique. What good is this until it's up for grabs?"
[ We need to learn that as soon as possible so we can give you information, Hunter. We need a trial or some tests to make sure. ]
"Yeah. Whatever. The important thing is that my mission is completed quickly." Seth commented, relaxed.
The suit emits a blue laser beam to perforate the bulletproof glass. The laser beam melts each side, forming a hole in the box so the strange Cube can escape its throne. The object was treated special, stored carefully, and given a particular room in such a magnificent only for useless things.
"It must be more than my imagination. Remembering how Moira treated this. Very unexpected."
Seth intends to grab the Cube to get it out. However, suddenly he was stung by electricity which shocked him. He looked back, surprised; there was something strange with the Cube. He glows, forming a symbol and continuous intricate patterns that emit sparks resembling tesla.
[ What's the matter, Hunter? ]
"I got an electric shock coming from the Cube. It turns out that it can emit energy in the form of electricity. But, there is something strange. Suddenly, my body felt like it was getting a huge injection of energy."
The tablet system notifies important notifications and alerts that Seth uses full power mode. The Exosuit is on fire. All the equipment attached to his body – is in high stamina capacity.
[ Well, so we know what an Avalscar really is. She represents a very useful external energy-generating Cube. Its power can be applied anywhere. It is the perfect source of energy. ]
No wonder Seth felt strange inside his body after being stung. Avalscar gives him additional energy. "That's why the CTX12 is so energized and powerful to be used as a weapon of mass destruction. You think the weapons of mass destruction in that container have these CTX12 particles?"
[ Yes. Your theory is correct. CTX12 became dangerous because it used the Cube's energy source particles. We are still learning exactly how Moira does it. Hopefully, all of the woman's files can answer this riddle. ]
"So what should I do with all the CTX12 fluids that have been produced? You didn't know the radiation was so strong. I don't even know how to disarm CTX12."
[ You've permanently shut down all engine performance. Secure the Cube first. No contact with CTX12. We're still looking for options and information from Moira's file. ]
Seth stared at his watch. "Too time-consuming. Maybe I'll do a little experiment first. Mask scanner mode definitely helped me."
[ Don't take too risky a decision, Hunter. ]
"I'm used to the risk, Raven. Just trust me; I managed to disarm and defuse that weapon of mass destruction. I can definitely do it again. Otherwise, the bad part should explode. Let it be; at least I tried my best."
Slowly but surely, Seth tried to remove the Cube, although the electric shock was rather painful. He was looking for a toolbox with which to carry it.
"It must be made of plastic so this object cannot release its sting."
Seth finds a portable medical box. Immediately grabbed and took out all the contents onto Moira's workbench. Using the box, he slowly inserted the Cube and closed it tightly. "For a while like this first."
[ Now your mind is more open? ]
"It's a bit late. Sorry. Let you guys down."
After securing all the documents and valuables belonging to Moira, Seth came out of the office. He researched all corners of the fabrication using his mask scanner. The system detects the giant main tube of the CTX12 supplier.
"Hoho, that's the center. Where did you come from and produce?"
It's hotter than Seth thought. The ventilation did not work after he permanently disabled the entire control system. The reactor had no white steam turbine power spinning like the first arrivals before.
Seth had to neutralize all the liquid immediately; this heat could ignite an unexpected explosion. The problem is that the liquid is somewhat less stable; a slight shock or a drastic temperature change may result in an explosion, severe damage, and a profound impact.
Seth stopped to read Moira's work. With mask scanner mode, he finds the disarming parts of CTX12 quickly.
[ NB: CTX12 disarmed. The chemical combination that produces the compound XX2OHC+ / MJ3NCL can neutralize the entire content of CTX12. The mixture can be made by...]
Seth grumbled irritably. "Oh my god, I hate all things chemical! Fucking Astrophel Moira. How could he make such a terrible weapon of mass destruction! You're dead, and you're hurting the living!"
***
Thanks for your time read my story. See you next chapter. Love lots :)
"I followed all the instructions correctly. What happened?" [ Say something, Hunter. What happened? What's your status? ] Seth shook his head, trying to stay calm and not panic. This may just be a handful of natural reactions like the previous container. "They reacted, Raven. I'm sure, doing all the steps according to this journal! Oh, I told you I hate chemistry so much!" Seth was furious. [ Calm down. Stay there, and see what happens. Everything is under control, right? ] The whole floor shook. The glass inside the facility was shattered. Seth did not expect the reaction to be this big compared to what happened in the container. The giant cylinder vibrated strongly, and all the objects filled with CTX12 shook violently and showed confusing reactions. Seth backed away from the massive cylinder producing that shitty green liquid. Let the situation happen naturally. Now, it remains only to hope for Fate. Seth has to stay there, ensuring all the liquid turns black. If so, it mea
[ Hunter, wake up. Hunter! ] Raven's voice echoed in his ears, and Seth immediately fell into shock from his sleep. He didn't wake up until he fell asleep all night. The Blizzard was heavy, and the air was utterly below freezing. Make Seth had time to feel the cold piercing and attacked sleepiness immeasurably. "Oh my God, Is It noon?! Sorry, I fell asleep, Raven." Seth roared in surprise. [ No problem. We knew last night a blizzard whacked heavily in the Volatile Cloud. Are you okay? Need something?] Seth's hideout this time is better than ever, although it still involves an abandoned building. However, Raven delivered cargo under construction containing the food supplies he needed. Seth stretched his muscles so tight he fell asleep until he was unconscious by noon. The sky looked silvery Cloudy, and snow buried this whole dead city. Seth glances out of the shattered window opening and sees Raven's shipment cargo almost completely buried. It's snowing and freezing. "I saw the c

Keir Barkovitch. Braxton Collymor_ ] "Ah, shit. The fog limits visibility. It's so thick! I can't see anything at all. I'm gonna have a hard time without mask scanner mode." [ Be careful. You need to know the terrain you're on right now. Don't get buried with bad luck. ] Seth chuckled. "Bad luck. Come On, Raven. I'm used to bad luck. I could do nothing but curse. Now, things turn around. I can outsmart my pathetic luck." The pounding of a foot in a thick pile of snow. Seth finds a black mud puddle set up by a pole marked as a place for the mass accumulation of corpses. "This is crazy." Seth stopped. Watching the lake-wide mud puddle in the middle of the wilderness. Piles of mossy coffin wood, torn clothe
Chapter 35 [ The steel vehicle armored anti-tank, code name: Firestorm_ ] "Firestorm came again," Seth grumbled bitterly. He's still hiding behind the bushes. Remain silent and patiently wait before attacking. While looking for ways, options, and lurking on the perimeter of the forefront. "I had to do something with that armored vehicle. It hinders my movement." [ The clock is ticking. Then decide right now, Hunter. ] "I lost a lot of my equipment with the explosion. What am I supposed to do?" Seth asked, confused. "Oh yes, I still have a mask mode scanner for weaknesses. Why would I forget?" The Firestorm came over again to patrol. Seth counted every stop of his post; at each point, they stopped patrolling; almost every 10 minutes passed. "It was briefly. It could be better to use an outboard bomb. But didn't I lose my equipment with the explosion?" They were utterly unaware of one by one; those army vanished without a trace. The lights were constantly circling between the bu

An emergency meeting of all Joint Chiefs of Staff and parliament_ ] "This incident occurred at 02.15 A.M local time. The fleet was patrolling, as usual; the sea atmosphere was calm, with no sign of anything other than a clear night sky. All the soldiers at their posts. The situation was under control; suddenly, without warning, a violent explosion hit the hull. The explosion happened so fast. The crew members were resting – some managed to save themselves using lifeboats. But this is the biggest military disaster as well as the worst that took the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Not many survived; the crew drowned, drifted, and perished on the high seas." Explained the chief of the Joint Staff of the Oakenvale States Navy - Matthew Kingston. His tone sounded trembling, his face bent gloomily. He was deeply grieved after losing the crew of his finest
"Is the cell phone line secure?!" Jasiel Adonis asked, sighing irritably. His shoulders have been stiff since he was in Congress. His face was red as a result of apoplexy. Jasiel will not accept this sickening insult. The guards nodded. "Safe, Sir." "Speak!" Jasiel orders without further ado as he answers his cell phone. [ We have a severe problem in the Volatile Cloud, Sir. I'm sorry if this news is unpleasant to hear. Some critical facilities disappeared without a trace. Seven of our top brass were all killed, Sir.] Jasiel chuckled in annoyance. "Don't give me bad news, Vasilev! I'll put you in charge of the place! I'm in a bad mood! What other problem are you talking about?!" [ Mayor Moira Astrophel, Keir Barkovitch, Braxton Collymor. They're dead, Sir. After a strange incident occurred in Atlas-87. This happens in the span of just a few days. Someone knocked out the entire primary Astrophel generating system, totally paralyzed. We have absolutely no access to Major Moira's co
"There's also a point in you giving me a training session to assemble an electrostatic patch bomb, Raven. Thanks, this is obviously useful." Seth said with hands busy assembling the electrostatic surge destroyer outboard bomb. [ We've said it repeatedly to you; practice makes perfect, right? ] "Absolutely. You're always right." Seth kept his head down at the back of the deserted, uninhabited Armory warehouse, where he could still hear Firestorm moving regularly, patrolling the top perimeter. Stopped many times in the same place a dozen minutes apart. The floor rumbled as the Firestorm moved, swirling sluggishly out there. Seth quickened his movement. This silence could not last long; he still had to be wary of installing his mask scanner mode, making sure there were no enemies who might be able to surprise and destroy all his plans. The rule of this hunt is to execute undetected; Raven always reminds him repeatedly when Seth is seen by the enemy. And the end of it. Seth thought ab
[ Dash! ] A small eruption tore apart the Firestorm's main control box until the anti-tank armored vehicle was utterly paralyzed. Seth sees electrostatic waves creeping across Firestrom's skeleton, rendering him unable to move. Thick white smoke came out from under the wheels, the hatch cover of the cabin wide open to the accompaniment of curses from the operator who moved it. Hiding in the shadows, Seth immediately ambushed the operator, pounced on him from behind, smothered his mouth, and thrust a military knife through his victim's heart. One of his colleagues came out of the cabin Hatch; Seth shot him in the head with a silencer. They are wholly paralyzed without being detected. Hiding their bodies in the thickets of bushes. In the silence, Seth climbs up the Firestorm to look through the hatch. Not a single one is still alive. "Firestorm is down." [ Good; proceed to your cargo, Hunter. ] Able to move freely, Seth darted forward into the heart of the emergency facility. Stil
