455. Virulent
After all these years of fighting enemies on the battlefield, Captain Williams thought he’d seen everything, but staring at the feral half-humans banging against the shatterproof glass completely changed his perceptions.These people had lost all semblance of humanity and were driven solely by their baser animalistic urges.“What kind of a virus transforms humans into such mindless beasts?” he asked, glaring at the scientist.“The X-virus. It is a highly contagious, rapidly multiplying virus that infects humans across all ages and ethnicities,” the guy in the lab coat replied shakily.“You people here aren’t scientists. You’re monsters!” Captain Williams tightened his grip on the dart gun and slammed the scientist into the viewing glass behind. “Why would you even develop such a virus? What were you thinking?”“We were just following orders. I swear—”“Following orders by turning humans into mindless freaks?” Captain Williams snapped. “I am going to give you one last chance to rectify
454. Barely Human
“Move in! Surround the building!”“Don’t let them get out!”Boots marched outside as senior officers of the armored command shouted out their orders.A hundred commandos armed with tactical assault rifles and thermal visors rushed to secure the administrative HQ, backed by armored infantry vehicles and flame tanks.The arrival of the Rapid Response Force put Captain Williams and Calvin on high alert.Trapped on the second floor of the infantry command HQ, they could neither rely on backup from the rebels nor fight their way out.“They’ve surrounded the whole building. We have to defend this floor,” Captain Williams said.But Calvin shook his head.“I have a better plan. One that…doesn’t involve us getting killed,” he replied, pulling off the metal mesh from a ventilation shaft. “We can move unnoticed through here.”“There is no way the vents are big enough to hold both of us.”“These ones are different,” Calvin replied, climbing atop a table and squeezing into the vent. “One of my own
453. The Payment Comes Due
Captain Williams and Calvin moved through the smoke like silent shadows, their eyes scanning the area through thermal lenses.Only the sound of suppressed rifle fire broke the tense silence as precise shots took down the urban camo-clad targets left and right, dropping the soldiers like flies.“We got intruders!”“Someone’s shooting at us!”“Call for reinforcements!”Shouts and panicked cries rang out from all around as Captain Williams and Calvin cut through the newly trained infantrymen with deadly precision.In under a minute, they managed to decimate the whole training compound, laying waste to the whole squadron.Captain Williams checked his watch.It was ticking down from nine minutes now.He immediately signaled for Calvin to pick up the pace.The sound of armored Humvees rolling up through the smoke suddenly put them on alert.“Get down!”Captain Williams dragged Calvin behind a military transport truck as machine guns tore through the smoke, spraying 50 caliber rounds indiscr
452. Right friends in the wrong places
Back in his newly built luxury penthouse in Washington Square, Alex was standing on the open balcony with Dr. Lucy by his side.He had just taken a plunge into unknown territory by revealing his true identity to Calvin and his rebels.Even though the initial outcome had been perfectly positive, he could already sense the far-reaching consequences in the future.“You told them about yourself. They know Xander Payne is alive now. Are you sure Calvin and his people can be trusted?” Dr. Lucy asked in a shallow voice, her face rife with concern.Alex placed his hands firmly on the glass railing and looked out into the twinkling city lights, which stretched for miles in the distance.“I think I have stayed in the shadows long enough. There are people who want to fight Valheim. But they need a name to rally behind. And I just gave them one,” Alex replied.“What if Calvin sells you out to the enemy?” Dr. Lucy asked, staring anxiously at him. “We are still not ready to face Valheim. Your army
451. The Bioweapon Threat
Captain Williams froze in place as Calvin’s words echoed in his ears like a dreadful warning.Valheim had already deployed a bioweapon during the first war, which had crushed Alexandria’s forces and turned the tide in their favor.He couldn’t even begin to imagine the disastrous consequences of another such weapon striking the country.Terminating Colonel Warwick now became a secondary objective as the new threat compelled Captain Williams to change all his calculations instantly.After a long spell of disturbed thinking, he finally asked, “What is this X-virus? And how do you even know about this bioweapon?”“It’s a virus with a 75% mortality rate. But that’s not the worst part. It changes people,” Calvin replied.“What do you mean?”“The X-Virus doesn’t just kill; it turns people into mindless animals. I have a man on the inside, and he has witnessed the effects with his own eyes. If you want, I can show it to you as well. But first, I need to know what you’re doing here. Who are yo
450. Crow’s Calling
Captain Williams had no idea that someone was watching him, and this one lapse in caution ruined all his plans in an instant.His cover was all but blown, and he still had no idea who the man holding him at gunpoint was or how he knew his name.With his back pressed against the wall, Captain Williams chose honor over his life.“I am not telling you anything. You can go ahead and shoot me!” he declared with stern resolve.The man with the gun pointed his weapon at the Captain’s head and curled his finger around the trigger.“You leave me no choice, Captain. It seems you are going to fail your mission.”“There is no mission. I am here as a tourist.”But the stranger wasn’t buying it.“Is that right? Then let me call the soldiers. I hear their interrogator can break the toughest of nuts. And I am sure they’ll find enough evidence on your phone to get to the truth.”Captain Williams knew he couldn’t afford to get arrested by Valheim’s troops. For him, dying was a better option than being
