Chapter 102: A New Target

The resistance moved quickly, sending scouting teams to track down more of Solas's secret bunkers. Nyla, Zane, and General Aria led the charge, focusing on the regions where Solas's influence had been strongest.

Their next lead pointed to an old industrial zone, a seemingly abandoned facility in a remote area of northern Europe. The facility had once been part of a global tech conglomerate that Solas had absorbed during his rise to power, but now it was quiet—too quiet.

"This place has been off the grid for years," Zane explained as they approached. "No public records, no security logs. But we've intercepted communication signals coming from the area."

As they neared the facility, it became clear that something was being hidden. The outer walls were crumbling, but the surveillance equipment around the perimeter was new—high-tech drones patrolling in a silent loop.

"This doesn't feel right," Nyla muttered as they took cover behind a ridge. "It looks abandoned, but it's definitely still active."

"Then we proceed with caution," Aria said, signaling the team to spread out. "We'll find out what's really going on here."

Nyla, Zane, and the strike team moved in, carefully navigating around the drones. As they approached the entrance, the faint hum of machinery echoed from deep within the facility.

"This isn't just an old factory," Zane said, pulling up a holographic map of the site. "There's a lot more going on underground."
