Chapter 143: The Final Front

Back at their base, the team pored over the latest intelligence. Marcus had uncovered a potential lead a series of encrypted signals originating from a remote, uncharted island. It was heavily fortified, with layers of digital security far beyond anything they had encountered before. It was likely the heart of The Shroud's operations.

"We hit them here, and we cripple their command structure," Marcus said, pointing to the map.

Alyssa nodded. "This is it. We end The Shroud once and for all."

Eleanor, standing beside her, added, "We need to be ready for anything. If they've been planning this for years, they won't go down without a fight."

Alyssa's eyes hardened. "Let's finish what we started."

The team geared up for the final assault, knowing full well that this mission could be their most dangerous yet. But for Alyssa, there was no turning back. The Shroud had threatened everything they had fought to protect, and now, they would face it head-on.

As the team boarded the helicopter, the sun began to set, casting a crimson glow across the horizon. It was the calm before the storm a storm that would decide the fate of the world.
