Irise Delegnere (ALIVE'S Book 3)

by Faulina Arif

  The other soldiers coming out from their covers and instantly follow to where Iskandar is. Watching Iskandar skilled action and his shooting precision along with his fast movement, made other soldier that underestimating him gulped.

  "Tell me, who is your leader?!", Iskandar yelled at the guard that in front of him.

  "D-David . . . Mr. David . . . " That guard answered. In the middle of fear, he bear the intense pain.

  "Where he is now? Is he in level 7?"

  That guard quickly nod.

  Bang! Iskandar ended that guard life with one bullet exactly at his head.

  Iskandar and the other soldiers continuing their journey. Leaving the massive mall aula, they walked through the corridor towards lift.

  "Is this the right path sir?", One of soldiers asked to Iskandar.

  "I already memorized this facility structure maps." Iskandar answered.

  Iskandar arrogant response made that soldier who asked before speechless and decide to shut his mouth.

  They using the lift and go to the lowest floor at floor 30. They are accessing the resting place apartments in block 1. When they all are arrived at the floor 30, Iskandar command his soldiers to search the level 2 access lift. But after they found that lift, they received the same problem as Reyn group. That lift could not be used without an identification card. Iskandar then ordering his soldiers to search in all of employees apartment rooms in this floor 30 and Iskandar was sure one of those employee had that card.

  Shortly they got the access card to level 2 in this sector 3 and they immediately use it. They entering 2 very large lift and heading toward the level 2. After they was arrive and exiting the lift, they were now at their destination, a power plant and data storage facility building which they need to destroy.

  "What kind of clothes is these?", One of soldier asked while they passing through the changing room in front of the lift. This room is like a corridor and many strange clothes that appear like astronaut clothes neatly arranged in their left sides. The other soldier didn’t answer because they are also clueless for what that clothes is.

  Those soldiers keep on walk forward till they found a large metal door. When that door was opened, 2 soldiers that opening it could felt how heavy that door was and they could felt a hot air hit their body and loud machine sound could be heard. Now those soldiers know, the function of those clothes they saw before. But those strong soldier do not try to go back for only wearing that anti heat clothes. They ignored the heat that attack with their will power and entering the door altogether.

  All of them stepped at a thick and large steel plate that supported by a big and thick cables from above, looked just like a suspension bridge that made of steel. When they see to below of the steel plate, they all shocked to see a lake of lava far below them.

  For a moment Iskandar looking at the whole structure. There is 4 large suspension bridge. One of it is what become their foothold now. The second suspension bridge was located far away at Iskandar right side, the third suspension bridge at his left side. And the last one is beyond the large pillar exactly at the opposite side of them.

  Each suspension bridge had 20 meter length and they connected to different place. Iskandar could know it because there was a location name plate displayed exactly in front of each bridge. The second suspension bridge lead to waste processing facility and gas supply. The third suspension bridge lead to main servers and the last lead to geothermal power plants.

  The distance between every suspension bridge is more or less 50 meters. It was not possible to jump to those bridge. They will surely fall and their body will be burned to a crisp by lava that waiting under. But there is a way to access those bridge.

  Exactly in the middle of structure located a quadrilateral giant steel pillar. That steel pillar is very thick and merges with the ceiling which also made of steel, that pillar have a movable bridge in all of its four sides. If they could lower that bridge, they could walk toward their destination safely.

  Iskandar looked at Anton that standing beside him. "Bring along some soldiers to clear the control room. Order one of employee to lower that bridge and kill whoever resisting."

  "Yes, Sir!" Anton immediately followed Iskandar order. He takes 10 soldiers from his team toward the control room which located at their right side. The guards in control room still not aware of those soldiers presence because their view was obstructed by a separator wall.

  A gunshot sound that pierce through those guards was nearly unheard because of loud Geothermal machine sound that reverberated across the structure. Anton succeed to complete his mission. He then aimed his gun toward the last guard inside the control room, and he forced to obey Anton request to lower the bridge.

  "How could they made this place? This is . . . This is beyond impossible." Again one of soldiers speaking and that question could not answered by the other.

  After the bridge is lowered and down perfectly in front of Iskandar, together with 10 of his soldiers, Iskandar passing through that bridge toward the main server room which located at their left side.

  They entering the server room and founded a very massive room inside. Without waiting for any order, 10 soldiers that following Iskandar immediately secure the server room. Pointing their weapons toward employees that working inside that room. Those employees afraid and surrender just like that.

  Meanwhile, Iskandar approaching the information board that written in the server room wall. From what Iskandar read, he knows if the server rooms consist of 4 floor. There is 4000 server data machine inside this entire building. 2000 at this floor, and 2000 other in the second floor. While in the third floor are CPU room and the fourth floor is a central air conditioning.

  After knowing it, Iskandar ordering one of his soldiers to copy any important data inside the server. Iskandar gave him a specially made hard disk that have size of 32 Terabytes. Iskandar was sure he can’t copy every data inside this massive server, but at least he could copy some of important data about this organization. That soldier immediately did what Iskandar wanted. Then Iskandar pressing a button in his headset.

  "Bring your team here!", Iskandar ordered.

  "Yes, Sir!", Anton replying, he still at the first suspension bridge.

  Anton taking all of his team to the server building as what Iskandar command. They immediately entering the server room to meet with Iskandar.

  "Order all of your team member to secure this building. Install some bomb at strategic place, after he finished to copy the data, blow this place sky-high." Iskandar pointed his finger to the soldier whose copying the data.

  "Ready sir." Anton answered.

  From 25 soldiers, Anton dividing his team to 3 team. First team consist of 7 soldiers plus himself, second and third them consist of 9 soldiers. When he finished to give the other a direction, second and third team immediately run toward the stairs to go to floor 2 and 3.

  Iskandar stares at his soldiers he bring earlier to the server room. One of them is still busy copying the data and 9 other still pointing their weapons toward employees.

  "Come with me," Iskandar ordered those 9 soldiers.

  Iskandar walked to the exit door of server building while pressing his communication headset. He contacting the rest of his team that still guarding the first suspension bridge.

  "All team 1 and 2, except for the one that copying the data. Follow me!"

  "Yes, Sir!", Those soldiers answered.

  All of them walked and assembled in the middle of moveable bridge while walking toward the geothermal power plant structure. When they arrive there, they could see there was so many large electrical panel and many people working, some of them wearing an astronauts clothes and some of them did not. They looked at Iskandar approaching them with his soldiers and become surprised when all of them point their weapon toward the power plant worker.

  Afraid to being shot, they all lifting both hands and surrendered. Iskandar approaching one of those workers.

  "Show me, the important structu
re that could make this power plant out of order." Iskandar asked.

  That worker tremble and answered. "For what? We could turn it off if you wish." Said one other worker that standing near that man. That worker had a courage to talk compared to another.

  Suddenly Iskandar shoot his gun toward that worker.

  That worker body fall to the floor and a fresh blood flowing and flooding the previously clean floor.

  Female workers can only cried because of shock and fear. With trembling body, all of them snuggle themselves tried to protect one another.

  Iskandar back to the man he previously talking to and pointed his gun. "Show me!"

  "Y-Yes . . . Come with me", That worker answered fast.

  That worker knows, if he choose to obey Iskandar, he surely will be fired from his job. But that is utterly better than dying at their hands.

  First that worker showed him a dozens of large electrical panels at this floor. Iskandar ordering his soldier to install a bomb to all of it. And then, that worker guiding him to floor 10 at the generator room, and Iskandar did the same thing, installing bombs near that generator. Next, they come to floor 28 to destroy a turbine and the steam boiler. And lastly, they come to the floor 30, at the hot water container.

  Exactly when every worker had been evacuated, and Anton reporting if the data has been copied. Iskandar pressing the bomb trigger, made it exploded simultaneously. And shortly the electricity is turned off permanently.

  All of soldiers in server room evacuate all of worker inside and then they blowing all the server in there. There were mixed feelings that those workers felt when all of their works is destroyed. But none of them dared to defy those soldiers.

  As a result of a total power failure, every people in the facility become panic, especially the guards. Iskandar could felt satisfaction because his plan was run smoothly. Because there is no way in this sector to access level 3 in other sector. They must return to level 1, and walked to sector 2. Iskandar know it will be tiring because the way to the other sector is far enough. Together with all his troops, Iskandar hurried back to level 1.

  IRISE DELEGNERE

  A very bright light penetrating the lift glass wall, blinding everyone's eye that inside the lift. After everything they see, they ought to be not surprised anymore. But once more they was made to be amazed in disbelief.

  This facility is truly insane and makes no sense. After they entering the lift that made from glass and spend 3 minutes time inside, suddenly all of them presented by an outrageous scenery. Everything could be seen from the lift, a natural landscapes similar at the outdoor. The area width is at least 210 hectare.

  How could it be possible? There was a lake, forest and a small mountain Inside the underground facility. They could not believe it and they thought all of it was a dream, but that is what they see with their own eyes.

  Everything becomes clear. From the entire things that Aria see, she could assess how great this organization called Elysion is. Their influence toward some country is truly vast till they could made this outstanding and terrifying facility that could make every one seeing it will have a Goosebumps. Things inside Aria flared up and it give rise to a strong wish inside her minds, she must at all cost destroy this organization and stopping them to grow more stronger or they could conquer the world.

  If this damned organization didn't exist, Aria will not lose her cherished little sister. Yes, Aria determined to find its owner and kill that person. Ending their rotten games till all human could life safely and will never been played ever again.

  Aria and the other arrived at the monitoring building, 4 guards was sighted on the post when they are just coming out. With a fast movement, Reyn mercenary succeed to kill all of them.

  Reyn come into the post and make sure if they are now at the level 3. And Reyn was certain when he saw the data location inside the computer display monitor.

  "This is . . . Impossible. How could . . . How could inside this underground facility had a forest, lake and even mountain? This is . . . This is insane, even a country could not make this kind of thing, and . . . Just how much budget did they need to make this??", Said one mercenary while shaking his heads.

  "Yes, I agree . . . Just how much power did this organization owner wield? How could that person make this outrageous facility?" Another mercenary added.

  This time Reyn could only stay quiet. He ignored those mercenary on purpose and focused to their main objective.

  Level 3 is a place for testing, be it a new weapon or new war machine. They even do a battle training inside this place or even used as a place to control their so called 'otherworldly creatures'. After all that happened, now Reyn was certain if the terms of otherworldly creatures is actually are those artificial creatures such as werewolves, war bear, and the other strange creatures.

  "Lift to level 4 is inside that mountain, exactly at a room inside the tunnel. To reach level 4, we must use this way." One of mercenary in Gamma team pointed his finger at the map.

  "Wait, at this floor there is also the lift access to level 5, it will be better if we use that lift." Said Arman without releasing his sight from the display monitor.

  Reyn directly look at all Gamma team members. "Check the identification card, whether we have the card to level 5 or not?"

  All 3 of them quickly oblige to Reyn order. One of them bring out all the card that have been stored inside his bag. That man for a moment searching and then said "No, sir. We don't even have the card access to level 4. These card that we had is only for level 1,2 and 3."

  Reyn fell silent for a moment. "If so we will found it at this level."

  All mercenaries nodded consentaneous.

  "We will found some cars and pass through this road way to get there." Said Reyn again.

  "Are you sure?" Arman stopped to look at monitor and change his view toward Reyn. "If we use a car, I'm afraid we will be an easy target. It will be possible if our enemy is waiting, then using an RPG to destroy our car, and we will helplessly died disappearing without a trace."

  Reyn nods in agreement. "Then, your suggestion?"

  Arman moving his finger toward the computer monitor. To clarify a location inside the map that since before picking his interest. "There is a short cut through this forest. It is possible if there was an enemy guarding there, but . . . If we could finish them, we could arrive to that tunnel faster and this is a safer way for all of us. Moreover our enemy will have a hard time to fight us because our position could easily been modified."

  "I agree with you,"

  Arman looked at every person inside the room. "The distance to the mountain from this building is over 1,5 kilometer. Tried to stay together and don't be separated too far. I am worried if our enemies positioning some sniper in these old structure, especially inside the forest that we will pass."

  Everyone including Marsha and Zafar nodded.

  "We will give the task to locate the enemy and dealing with enemy sniper to Charlie team," Arman added.

  All of Charlie team members nods.

  "Then, we should hurry." Said Reyn.

  All of those people leaving the guard post and walking through the corridor. At the end of corridor there are stairs to the upper floor and exactly at the opposite direction of that stairs could be found a large wooden door, and above it was written a Monitoring Room. Arman ordering a few mercenary to check the upper floor and make sure if there any enemy or not. Meanwhile Reyn and the others left is entering the monitoring room.

  Inside that room there was found a row of telescope, all of those telescope facing to glass wall. And then Reyn could see a big display monitor, a row of chairs and some other equipment inside.

  Reyn walking around that room and sighed deep. How truly barbarous these scientist is. From behind this room. They watching people killing each other as if they was watching a film. Are they never thought across their so called 'smart brains'? What if their role reversed instead? Reyn smiled sarcastically Surely they will begged for mercy for
their pathetic life's.

  Some of mercenary which was ordered to check to other floor returned. They gave a report toward Arman and said if there is no one there. After receiving that report, Arman, Reyn together with the other continuing their travel.

  They approaching the exit door that located in front of monitoring room. That door is made from glass. One of Alpha team member opening that door. When he lift his foot as wanted to take a step outside, he could felt a bizarre presence from his instinct. He stopped for a moment and suddenly right in front of him something heavy fall making the dusts flying and made all of glass near the door cracked. Fortunately when that heavy object fall, that mercenary jumped to the back.

  The other mercenary which was standing behind that man surprised, and some of them detain their friends body which before jumped to the back that nearly hit them. All of them pointing their weapon to where that heavy object fall. But they could not see anything at all, even the heavy object that fall.

  "Duck!!" Aria yelling loudly.

  Suddenly something big cut one mercenary from Beta team that standing in forefront to a half. Blood splattered and that mercenary died instantly. Together with that all the glass including the door glass at that floor shattered. Everyone shocked and at that times they reflexively firing their weapons to the front. Those mercenaries became panicked because they watching their friend died killed by something that could not be seen. They keep on firing while retreating slowly.

  Hundred of bullets is wasted but that 'thing' which killed one of their comrade is still nor reveal itself. Even so, the sound of bullet hitting steel was heard and there is some sparks was seen. Those mercenaries becoming more scared.

  "Fall back! Use other door!" Aria yell loudly while shooting her pistol to the same direction.

  Still at firing position, the mercenaries moved faster toward another door which at monitoring left back side.

  An heavy step could be heard from the outside, it moving to inside the building destroying the shattered glass door steel frame then shortly is destroying some chairs and together with that all of them could hear a heavy growl accompanied by a little groan. Those mercenaries instinct said if there is some big and terrifying things that approaching them.
