Chapter 206: Captain
"Good. There will be a hoverjet waiting for you on the rooftop in 10 minutes," Henry said, then added, "No need to rush—take your time and finish your preparations."
It was a subtle reminder. This wasn’t a walk in the park. He was expected to prepare properly.
I guess he’s not giving me any new equipment this time, Adyr thought.
Before the Cannibal operation, they’d provided him with a full STF combat suit and a selection of high-grade weapons, completely free of charge. But this time, it made sense. His current gear was already built from the latest tech available, and the research division likely hadn’t developed anything better since then.
As for weapons, there was no point. The standard STF firearms were already proving ineffective against the mutants attacking Shelter City 8. Offering him one now would’ve been meaningless.
Right after ending the call with Henry, Adyr’s wristband vibrated again. He glanced at the screen—this time, it was Victor.
"Hey," Adyr said, picking up without delay.
"Yo, where the hell have you been?" Victor’s voice echoed loudly through the line. His tense expression and raised tone made it obvious—he’d been trying to reach Adyr for a while. But between the simulation room and the long conversation with Henry, Adyr had been unavailable.
"I was just talking to your father," Adyr replied, already guessing why Victor was calling.
"My father? Let me guess—he wants you to go to Shelter City 8?"
"Yeah." Adyr sighed. "I’m leaving in 10 minutes."
"10 minutes? Great. See you there." Victor ended the call before waiting for a response.
