Chapter 140: Into the Shadows

The team mobilized immediately, splitting into specialized units. While Marcus led a strike team to protect key satellite hubs on the ground, Alyssa and Eleanor were tasked with infiltrating a hidden facility believed to be The Shroud's nerve center a heavily guarded bunker buried deep beneath the mountains in an uncharted region.

As they descended into the depths of the earth, Alyssa couldn't shake the feeling that this was only the beginning. The Shroud was more than just a threat it was a legacy, a continuation of the power-hungry ideology Adrienne had lived by. But this time, they were dealing with something even darker.

They reached the core of the facility, their weapons ready. Beyond the final door, Alyssa knew they would face whatever or whoever was truly pulling the strings.

"We end this," Alyssa whispered, her grip tightening on her weapon.

Eleanor nodded beside her. "Once and for all."

The door hissed open, and they stepped into the heart of The Shroud's operation.

The real war was about to begin.
