Chapter 160: The Truth Unveiled
The ground beneath Ayla’s feet shook violently, as if the entire building were coming apart at the seams. The explosion had been so powerful that the walls groaned in protest, cracks spreading across the floor like veins in a dying creature. Her ears rang with the sound of the blast, and she barely had time to react before the floor beneath her buckled. “Move!” Ayla shouted, grabbing Zara’s arm and pulling her toward the nearest exit. The soldiers were disoriented by the explosion, but their confusion wouldn’t last long. They were trained for situations like this they wouldn’t stay down for long.Zara’s face was pale, her eyes wide with shock, but she didn’t hesitate. The two women sprinted toward the door, dodging debris as the building continued to collapse around them. Their footsteps echoed in the chaos, a staccato rhythm that matched their racing hearts. “Zara, what the hell did you do?” Ayla hissed, glancing over her shoulder at the crumbling walls. Zara didn’t answer immediatel
Chapter 159: Beneath the Surface
Ayla and Zara moved swiftly through the dark, narrow tunnels, the flickering emergency lights casting long, distorted shadows against the walls. Their breaths were heavy, the weight of what had just happened pressing down on them. They had escaped the control room, but the danger was far from over. The sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the distance, the soldiers likely regrouping to pursue them. They didn’t have much time before the lockdown ended, and the building would be crawling with more armed men than they could count. "How much further?" Ayla asked, her voice tight with urgency.Zara didn't answer right away. Her eyes scanned the tunnel ahead, trying to assess the safest path. Finally, she spoke, her voice strained. "We’re almost there. But after we get through this section, we’ll need to be extra careful. The deeper we go, the more eyes they’ll have on us."Ayla nodded, gripping her weapon tighter as they pressed on. They passed several intersections, but Zara led them forwar
Chapter 158: The Depths of Deception
Ayla’s eyes fluttered open. Her head throbbed, and her vision was blurry. The acrid smell of smoke filled the air, and the taste of blood lingered on her tongue. She could feel the warmth of it trickling down from a gash on her forehead. For a moment, she couldn’t remember where she was. The sound of distant alarms and crackling flames slowly brought her back to reality. She was in the control room half of it was reduced to rubble. Zara was nowhere to be seen. Panic surged through her as she scrambled to her feet, her body protesting the sudden movement. She staggered, her vision swimming, but she managed to keep her balance. The floor beneath her was littered with debris, and the flashing red lights cast an eerie glow across the room."Zara!" Ayla shouted, her voice hoarse. She moved cautiously through the wreckage, her senses on high alert. No answer. She called again, this time with more urgency, but still nothing. Ayla’s heart pounded in her chest as she slowly moved deeper into
Chapter 157: The Crossroads
Ayla’s footsteps echoed through the narrow hallway, every sound amplified in the tense silence. Zara led the way, her expression hard, betraying nothing of what she was thinking. Ayla was used to the cryptic, enigmatic behavior of those around her, but Zara’s calmness in the face of imminent danger left her unsettled. How much did Zara know? And how much had she been hiding all along? They reached a set of reinforced steel doors, and Zara stopped. She turned to Ayla, her eyes flicking over her with a gaze that was both calculating and cautious.“Ayla,” Zara said quietly, her voice just above a whisper. “This is where everything changes. This is where you’ll understand why none of this makes sense.” Ayla frowned. “What are you talking about? We don’t have time for riddles.” Zara’s lips curled into a slight smile. “There’s always time for the truth, even if it’s too late to change anything. We’re already too far gone.”Before Ayla could respond, the doors slid open with a heavy metallic
Chapter 156: A Fragile Truth
The gunshot still echoed in her ears, reverberating through the hollow corridors. Ayla stood motionless, the weight of the moment sinking in as she stared at the lifeless body before her. His blood pooled around him, staining the cold concrete floor. She had killed him. And it had been necessary. She had to survive.But the truth of his words lingered in her mind like a poison, eating away at her resolve. You’ve been a pawn. The man’s voice played over and over in her mind, each repetition making her question everything. The rebellion she had fought for, the people she had trusted, her very purpose it was all starting to feel like a carefully constructed lie.Her hands trembled as she wiped the sweat from her brow. She couldn’t stay here. She had to move. There was no time to wallow in uncertainty. The soldiers would be here soon, and she needed to get out. But where? Who could she trust now?Her eyes darted to the door. She couldn’t stay in this building, surrounded by the memories o
Chapter 155: The Pointless
Ayla’s heart raced, and her chest tightened as the soldiers advanced. Her mind was a whirlwind of confusion and betrayal. Zara, the one person who had been guiding her, had just disappeared into the shadows, leaving Ayla alone with the very people who wanted her dead. The realization hit hard Zara had never been on her side. She was a part of the very system Ayla had been fighting against.The soldiers moved with precision, their movements synchronized, their weapons raised. Ayla’s eyes darted to the exit, but it was blocked. No way out. She was trapped.“Don’t make this harder than it has to be,” one of the soldiers barked, his voice cold and emotionless. “We’re not here to kill you. We’re here to bring you in.”Ayla’s fists clenched at her sides. The words had no meaning to her. She had heard it all before. Bring her in? For what? To answer for crimes she didn’t commit? To be a puppet in their twisted game?She could feel the anger rising, bubbling up from deep within her chest. Her
