Chapter 114: Welcome to the Concrete Jungle
"Information received, Colonel. Keep monitoring from the air as long as your drone's battery lasts."Elian released the communication radio button on his chest. The morning wind, carrying a dry dust, blew through his black hair. On his face, there was no panic, only the cold calculation of a CEO who had just received a report on a competitor's strategic shift.Vara, who had been leaning her head out of the truck's cabin window, stared at Elian with a sharp frown. "Another civilization? What does Colonel Badra mean, Boss? There's a survivor faction that built a fortress in a monster's den?!"Elian tapped the steel plate of the truck's roof with his fingertips. "Looks like it, Vara. And they're flying a crocodile skull flag. They're either a lizard-worshipping cult, an apocalyptic version of the land mafia, or just a bunch of crazies with a death wish.""So? Are we turning back?" Vara asked, her hand r
Chapter 113: War Prep Meeting (The Corporate Version)
"Lina! Where are you?!"Elian yelled into his emergency walkie-talkie while running up the basement stairs, completely out of breath. The wound in his ribs protested fiercely, but he ignored it. His mind was filled with images of an invisible chameleon monster chewing through their remaining sardines.A crackling sound came from the radio, followed by Lina's curt voice. "In the logistics warehouse, where else?! I'm sitting on a pile of sardines holding a ladle! Why are you screaming so early in the morning?!"Elian stopped at the top of the stairs. He leaned against the wall, letting out an incredibly long sigh of relief."Are the sardines safe, Lin? Nothing weird around you? Like, shadows moving on their own or the sound of a monster breathing?""The only sound here is my stomach growling, El!" Lina grumbled from the other side. "Everything's safe and sound. What's up? You want
Chapter 112: The Research Division & The Pet Monster
The morning before the departure of the Ragunan Project expedition.The sun had just risen a stone's throw high, but Elian was already awake. His eyes were red and baggy. He had spent the entire night forcing himself to stay awake to read Mr. Hendra's "SOP for Large-Scale Hazardous Biological Specimen Capture Expeditions - Version 1.0", purely out of fear that the crazy bureaucrat would actually cut his salary (which he didn't even know what form it took yet).With a cup of instant coffee that tasted more like pan-washing water in his hand, Elian walked down the emergency stairs toward the archive building basement next to City Hall.The place used to be a stuffy, dusty storage room for provincial government documents. However, in less than twenty-four hours, the basement had been transformed into something straight out of a high-budget sci-fi horror movie set.The sharp smell of antiseptic, formalin
Chapter 111: The Ragunan Project
The neatly folded piece of crayon paper was already secure inside Elian's shirt pocket, right over his heart. The warmth from Dito's drawing still lingered, providing fresh fuel for his sanity.Elian glared sharply at the members of his newly sworn-in cabinet. "Get the cars ready. We're going to Semanggi. We're bringing that damn lizard home," Elian ordered coldly."Wait a moment, Big Boss," Dr. Arini interjected.The dirty lab coat-wearing woman didn't move from her chair. Instead, she crossed her legs, pulled a cracked military tablet from her bag, and tossed it to the center of the oval meeting table."The lizard in Semanggi definitely has to be captured alive. I need its digestive organs for an initial mapping of mutant stomach acid," Arini said in a flat tone, as if discussing a recipe. "But, if you all think one stupid lizard that likes sunbathing on asphalt can save two million humans from Ves
Chapter 110: The Cakra Biru Cabinet
CRASH!The wooden table with only three legs finally gave up. Its surface cracked and split in two as Elian's fist slammed hard into it. Tiny blue electrical sparks crackled from between his fingers, stinging the stuffy air of the City Hall lobby.Silence instantly fell over the room.Dr. Arini, who had just screamed demanding the giant lizard alive, Lina, who was gripping her soup ladle with her chest heaving in anger, Mr. Hendra, who was hugging his leftover forms, and Agus, who was still standing tall waiting for orders, all fell silent, staring at Elian.Elian took a deep breath, trying to calm the twitching veins in his neck. The System in his head kept blinking, displaying error logs due to mental overload."All of you, shut up," Elian's voice was low, yet it echoed with an undeniable authority. His dark eyes locked onto every face in front of him, one by one."Arini wants a lizard to dissect. Lina wants a farm on the roof of Sarinah to feed two million people. Mr. Hendra wants
Chapter 109: Queen of Food & The Mad Doctor
"Dimensional parasite?"Elian repeated the words slowly. The City Hall lobby, which was previously noisy with the line of thousands of people, suddenly felt silent in his ears. A cold chill crept up the back of his neck, ignoring the heat of the Jakarta sun that was starting to sting.Dr. Arini didn't blink. She pushed up her thick, sliding glasses with her middle finger. Her hands, wrapped in dirty rubber gloves, pointed toward the crowd of naked humans waiting in line for porridge."That Golden Rain of yours was truly remarkable, Big Boss," Arini said. Her tone was flat, purely scientific observation without a single drop of emotion. "It acted like a cosmic EMP. The rain severed Queen Vespera's hive-mind signal and restarted their consciousness back into human form. But..."Arini stepped forward, closing the distance with Elian."The hardware, the biological malware, is still t
