"The hot water never runs out, Elena. This refrigerator is always fully stocked every morning."

Dr. Aris's voice sounded soft, echoing inside the living room of the thick-carpeted apartment.

Elena stood in front of the wide-open double-door refrigerator. The cold air swept across her face. Inside, neatly arranged, were top-quality fresh milk, premium beef, fresh fruits, and bottles of nutritional supplements. It was an intoxicating luxury. A very painful contrast compared to the leaky roof and

  • Climbing Hell

    The first pull felt like tearing the muscles of his right shoulder off the bone. The steel cable was incredibly thick, cold, and coated in machine grease now mixed with feces and wastewater. David's right hand, full of calluses and open wounds, had to grip the iron strand with desperate force. His paralyzed left arm was tied stiffly across his chest. He forced his mortal body to swing upward, centimeter by centimeter, away from the savagely churning dirty water below."Do not look down, Bell. Keep moving," David's breathing roared loudly, echoing inside the pitch-black elevator shaft."You think I care about the view of shit down there, Dave?" Isabella shot back. Her breathing sounded incredibly heavy and dragging. Her bionic leg, replaced by a rusty tractor suspension pipe, scraped against the concrete wall, creating an ear-piercing metal squeak. "This damn thing weighs like a ship's anchor. My upper thigh feels like it's going to tear every time I lift it.""Use your arms more, Isab

  • The Flood of Waste

    "Grab onto anything you can reach!" David shouted with all his might, his voice instantly swallowed by the roar of the apocalypse coming from behind.The pitch-black giant wave hit them without mercy. Millions of gallons of wastewater, a mixture of human feces, methane gas, and toxic mud, crashed into the concrete wall of the AgriGen facility's B3 floor. The hydraulic pressure of that underground tsunami immediately crushed the corporate building structure previously claimed to be impenetrable.Thick laboratory glass shattered into pieces with ear-piercing explosions. Dirty water swept in like a starving monster, swallowing everything in its path. Giant security servers exploded instantly as water soaked their circuits. Sparks flashed wildly in the damp air. Emergency alarms shrieked in panic down every hallway, creating a symphony of absolute chaos.David, Isabella, and Mei Lin were swept away by the brutal current. They tumbled along with piles of wet trash, dead rats, and metal deb

  • Broken Generals

    "You really want to starve to death swallowed by this filthy mud, Boss."Isabella's voice trembled loudly as she pulled David's shirt collar. The former ruler of the world coughed violently, vomiting black wastewater from his lungs. He had just crawled up from the edge of the toxic reservoir, dragging his shivering body behind a giant concrete pillar supporting the tunnel. In his right hand, he tightly gripped the two ends of copper cable connected directly to the portable battery and the explosives underwater. He refused to die before his task was complete."I told you to run," David growled. His voice was cut off by a bloody cough tearing his throat."And we refused that order," Mei Lin answered coldly. The warrior woman pulled David's shoulder further behind the protective pillar. "You are no longer a god who can order us around as you please. You are a stupid human who almost drowned himself."Isabella and Mei Lin did not run away and leave him as ins

  • Tactic of Despair

    The idea of drowning the glass tower was not merely an empty threat. The rainstorm beat down cruelly once again outside, masking the movements of a group of humans who had lost everything. They left the old garage, navigated the flooded suburban streets, and entered the gaping dark mouth of the city's wastewater drainage sewer.The air inside the underground tunnel was incredibly cold and dense. The smell of ammonia, sulfur, and human feces immediately stung the nasal cavity, making eyes water. The remnants of David's troops limped through calf-deep sewage water. The sound of splashing dirty water echoed off the circular concrete walls. Giant sewer rats scattered, running to avoid their footsteps.Isabella dragged her right leg with great difficulty. The tractor suspension pipe drilled directly into her remaining thigh bone emitted a sickening metallic scraping sound every time it struck the bottom of the ditch. She bit her lip, enduring the pain from the amputation wo

  • A Message from the Glass Tower

    "Pour that diesel slowly, Franky. This ammonium nitrate mixture is extremely sensitive. The slightest spark, and we will all be blown to pieces of meat before we even touch their gates."David Vexley instructed with a hoarse and heavy voice. Morning had blanketed the outskirts of the city. Last night's rain left behind the smell of wet asphalt and muddy earth. The armored truck they had stolen was parked tightly inside an old, long-abandoned tractor garage. This hideout was only two miles away from the main AgriGen facility.David sat on a fragile wooden crate. His shot left leg was wrapped in black duct tape, now thickened by hardened dried blood. His left arm was still tied stiffly across his chest, completely numb and useless. Using only his right hand and Franky's help, the mortal father was assembling improvised pipe bombs from sacks of agricultural fertilizer they had found in the garage."My fingers are shaking, Dave," Franky complained. The young hacker

  • Biting the Hand That Chokes

    The agonizing scream of a small child seemed to echo across space and time, piercing the boundaries of concrete and steel layers, striking the inner soul of a father walking in the darkness. David Vexley paused his steps for a moment in the middle of a dirty puddle. His heart throbbed with excruciating pain. He could not hear it physically, but the blood tie remaining in his mortal body screamed one absolute message. Arthur was being tortured."What is it, Dave? Why did you stop?" Franky asked from behind. The young man held a captured rifle with trembling hands."There is no more time," David answered, his voice sounding incredibly hoarse and filled with suppressed despair. "They have started touching my son."They moved again, navigating the long-abandoned New York subway tunnels. The brick walls around them were mossy and smelled of urine. David's completely paralyzed and numb left arm had been tied tightly to his torso using a thick cloth belt. He did that s
