The Tycoon's Odyssey

Chapter 200: 200:Operation Phantom

After the meeting, Evan lingered for a while and discussed further details while exploring other zones of the facility.

It had been found that visiting these digital entities here would regularly boost their confidence and working power. After all, all of them were close to real humans and had their own set of emotions a trait Evan didn't wish to change.

Turning to Aurora, who had been observing the conversation closely, Evan asked, "Aurora, how is the operation going with Big Mac?"

Aurora responded promptly, "The equipment has already landed, and everything is in place. We're prepared to infiltrate the base as planned. Mac is focused on his mission for revenge, and once we secure the genetic serum, we'll be one step closer to unlocking real superpowers."

Evan's expression hardened with resolve. "Good. Ensure the operation is executed flawlessly. With the serum, we can enhance our capabilities and push our objectives further. "

"I hope Operation Phantom."

With the next steps clearly outlined, Evan and Aurora prepared to leave the facility, ready to advance their ambitious plans and make the most of the cutting-edge technology at their disposal.

Somewhere in the Eastern part of Indra.

The icy winds of Eastern Mizoris howled across the desolate, snow-covered hills.

Sergeant Mac and his squad, the elite Hawk unit, advanced through the snow-laden terrain with calculated precision. The mission was crucial and fraught with risk, infiltrating a heavily fortified military base and securing a high-value asset.

The base was rumored to house cutting-edge technology, a prize that could shift the balance of power.

Mac, a hulking figure clad in dark, high-tech combat gear, led his squad with unwavering determination. Each member of Hawk was a specialist in their field, handpicked by Aurora for their unparalleled expertise and adaptability.

The snow crunched beneath their boots, a stark contrast to the silent and deadly efficiency of their movements.

Their journey had started in the dead of night. With the moon barely visible through the thick clouds, they used the cover of darkness to their advantage, navigating their way through the jagged ridges and treacherous ravines. The terrain was unforgiving, but Hawk was prepared. They carried state-of-the-art gear and relied on their extensive training to traverse the inhospitable environment.

As they neared their objective, the base came into view—a sprawling complex of reinforced structures and watchtowers, forming a silhouette of dark stain against the pale snow.

The base was shielded by advanced detection systems, designed to alert the defenders of any unauthorized presence.

To bypass these defenses, the team deployed their most sophisticated gadget: the Frequency Disruptor Module (FDM). This device was designed to interfere with the detection waves emitted by the base's sensors, effectively cloaking their presence.

The FDM, a sleek cylindrical device about the size of a backpack, was set up by Mac on a rocky outcrop overlooking the base and activated.

The device hummed softly, its inner mechanisms generating a field that masked their presence. The base's sensors would now be unable to pick up the Hawk unit's signals.

With the FDM active, Hawk made their final approach. They moved swiftly and silently through the snow, blowing smokes of breathing, visible in the frigid air.

As they reached the outer perimeter of the base, where the security was tightest, Mac and his team crouched behind a low wall, watching the guards and waiting for the signal from their boss, Evan's AI, Aurora.

Aurora's voice crackled through their earpieces, calm and precise. "You have 40 seconds. Once the signal is cut, proceed with the breach. Remember, we need to avoid lethal force unless absolutely necessary. Use the Elector Series bullets."

Mac glanced at his team, nodding in acknowledgement. Aurora's orders were always clear and concise. With a final glance at the base's defenses, Mac tapped a button on his wrist console, severing the communication link with Aurora. The countdown began.

"Ten… Nine… Eight…"

The seconds ticked away, each number echoing in the snow-clad silence. As Aurora reached zero, the Hawk unit sprang into action. Mac and his team, including a crack sniper squad, moved forward with practiced precision.

The base's security forces, their senses dulled by the FDM, were momentarily caught off guard. Hawk seized this brief window to their advantage, infiltrating the base's outer defenses.

Equipped with Elector Series bullets and non-lethal ammunition that delivered a powerful electric shock upon impact, the bullets used by Hawk were designed to incapacitate without causing permanent harm and were ideal for their mission's objectives.

The night cloaked Eastern Mizoris in darkness, broken only by the base's harsh, artificial lights. The once-quiet military base was now a battleground, the sharp sound of gunfire and explosions echoed across the snowy terrain. Indra soldiers, caught in a fierce firefight with Hawk, scrambled to respond to the assault.

Inside the base's command centre, chaos had erupted. The walls, lined with surveillance screens and communication equipment, buzzed with frantic activity. The base's commander, Colonel Rathi, barked orders into a malfunctioning radio.

"Status report! I need to know what's happening out there!" Rathi demanded, his voice tense with urgency.

Sergeant Vikas, stationed at a terminal, fumbled with the communication equipment. "Colonel, the alert systems are down! We can't get a signal through!"

Nearby, Corporal Rajiv was clutching his rifle tightly, his face pale and sweat-slicked with fear. "Sir, they're advancing to our positions! We're being hit from all sides!"

The command center's lights flickered as another barrage of gunfire rattled the walls.

Outside, the base's automated defense turrets, intended as the last line of defense, whirred to life but struggled to target the rapid, erratic movements of Hawk's soldiers.

The Indra soldiers manned their positions, desperately trying to fend off the intruders. The base's perimeter became a scene of frantic activity with snow and debris filling the air as bullets zipped through the darkness, creating puffs of white smoke wherever they struck.

Private Sandeep huddled behind a makeshift barricade, trying to steady his breathing. "They're using some kind of electric rounds! My men have been hit and incapacitated already. However, they are still alive."

"Keep your head down!" shouted Lieutenant Nisha, peering through her scope. "We need to regroup! These guys are tearing through us!"
