Chapter 63

Julian Bless

Julian couldn't believe Nox had just saved his life.

Elysium ran deeper than I imagined, Julian thought.

He felt bad that the former agent had to take such a blow, but he was glad Elysium was strong. He carried Nox's rifle for him as Nox finished dressing his own wound while they walked.

A bar from Sid's speaker came from out front, signaling it was clear. They turned the corner and there it was, the vault room.

"The CPU is inside." Citizen moved to the control panel, favoring one of her legs. She had already been shot so many times. How much longer could she hold out? "Everyone get ready to go in."

Nox joined her at the panel, holding one arm. He pulled out a data key from his pocket. "Use this to start. It's out of date, but it will at least hold an open slot in the terminal until you can hack it."

Gata and Athan turned away from the door, protecting their teammates.
