Chapter 184
The corridors twisted like a maze designed by madness.Rust clung to the walls. Pipes hissed. Red emergency lights painted everything like blood. But Davion didn’t stop. He led with his jaw clenched and eyes set on a future he refused to let slip away again.Behind him, Beverly held the rescued girl, her name barely whispered: Nia. Maya flanked them with her pistol drawn, covering corners. Rami’s boots thudded fast, his tablet pressed to his chest like a guidebook through hell.“We’re close,” Rami shouted. “Core’s one floor down. There’s a vertical shaft ahead. But—”The ground shook beneath them. A pulse. Low, like a heartbeat.“That’s new,” Beverly muttered.“It’s powering up,” Davion said. “He’s not gonna let us in easy.”“Let him try,” Maya growled. “I got twelve more rounds and a score to settle.”They turned a corner—straight into gunfire.Clang. Sparks. A bullet grazed the wall near Rami’s head. He ducked, yelling, “Turrets!”Automated. Sleek and silver. Guns mounted like spide

The elevator ride up felt… wrong.Not quiet—because alarms still wailed somewhere far below—but heavy. Like every breath weighed twice as much now that Genesis was gone.Davion leaned against the wall, sweat dripping down his neck. Beverly stood beside him, helmet off, hair stuck to her forehead. Scarface sat in the corner, knees up, staring at the floor like if he looked away the ground might disappear.Maya broke the silence first. “So… what’s next?”Rami laughed—short, sharp, humorless. “We just burned a ghost city under a mountain and you’re asking what’s next?”“I’m serious,” Maya shot back. “Iron Hand’s gonna feel this. We either use that or we hide and wait for them to regroup.”“We don’t hide,” Davion said immediately.Beverly raised an eyebrow. “You sure about that? Because my shoulder is bleeding and your ribs are probably cracked.”He didn’t look at her. “We don’t hide.”Scarface finally spoke. His voice was quiet but sharp enough to cut. “They’ll come for me too now.”“The

The doors hissed open with a mechanical groan, revealing a massive chamber. It looked nothing like the rest of the facility. The walls were smooth obsidian, glowing faint blue with pulses of energy that ran like veins. A circular platform sat in the center of the room, surrounded by hanging cables and flickering monitors. The temperature dropped the second they stepped inside. Davion exhaled slowly. “This is the core.” Beverly’s boots echoed as she walked beside him. “It’s like a tech cathedral.” Scarface—the boy with the eye scar—whistled under his breath. “It’s beautiful… and cursed.” “Yeah,” Davion muttered. “Just like him.” As if summoned by his thoughts, a hologram flickered to life in the center of the platform. His father’s face. Cold. Digital. Watching. “Welcome, Subject Eight,” the voice said smoothly. “Bringing traitors into the sanctuary now, are we?” “You call this a sanctuary?” Beverly asked, stepping forward with her gun drawn. “You brainwashed kids into soldiers

The night air bit at their faces as they moved.No one spoke.Rami led the way, eyes glued to his tracker. “Heat signatures are moving… but slow. Like sentries on a loop.”“Or sleepwalkers,” Maya muttered, gripping her rifle tight.The mountain loomed above them like a sleeping beast. Quiet. Still. Except Davion knew better. Genesis wasn’t asleep. It was waiting.They reached the hidden path first—wedged between two boulders, barely wide enough for a person to slide through. A cold draft snaked out.“This is it,” Rami said. “One of the old ventilation tunnels.”Davion took a deep breath. “Let’s go.”He crawled in first. The tunnel was narrow, damp. Every shuffle forward echoed behind him. Beverly followed, then Maya, then Rami.They emerged into darkness.The chamber stretched out, lit only by a faint red emergency glow. Dust clung to the air. The walls were concrete, old but intact. Wires hung from the ceiling. Pipes hummed faintly. Somewhere deep in the base, power still lived.Maya

The drive was silent.Rami’s truck rumbled through the night, tires crunching on gravel roads as they headed farther into the wilderness. Forest trees closed in around them, their shadows long and eerie in the moonlight. The group sat in the back—muddy, bruised, and burnt. No one talked much. Not after what they just walked out of.Elias was propped gently in the back seat, oxygen mask on, an IV in his arm, Beverly holding the bag steady. Irene had wrapped his ribs. Maya kept glancing at the rear window, fingers twitching near her weapon. Davion just stared out at the trees.“We’re close,” Rami finally said. “Old Cold War base. No one’s used it in decades except me.”“Let’s hope that’s still true,” Beverly muttered.Davion barely heard her. His thoughts were far from the road.All he could see was his father’s face—calm, calculated, cold. Legacy must be earned, Davion. Not given.He’d grown up believing that. That to deserve love, power, even breath, you had to bleed for it.Now he wa
Chapter 178
The lights kept flashing red.Sirens wailed through the underground corridors like the screams of the place itself waking up.Beverly led the way, rifle pressed tight against her shoulder, boots slamming against the metal floors. “South exit’s the closest! Davion, how’s he holding?”“Breathing, but shallow,” Davion panted, Elias cradled in his arms like something fragile and holy. “He’s burning up.”“We need to get him out before that facility fry kicks in,” Rami called from the back, eyes glued to his tablet. “They’ve triggered the purge sequence. Self-destruct in twenty minutes. Maybe less.”Irene glanced back at the flickering lights. “This place is gonna eat itself alive.”“Good,” Maya growled, blasting a security turret before it could fully activate. “Let it choke.”They burst into a wide hallway—lined with old portraits, steel doors, and faded banners of the Iron Hand crest. A wolf wrapped in wires. A sword made of circuitry. Twisted patriotism.Davion slowed.“That’s my father
