41 041 Victims

041 Victims

Arc strolled through the facility that temporarily houses the victims and although there are more than 1000 of them in the facility it doesn't look cramped at all, instead, there are a lot of rooms to move around, Arc was not surprised when he saw that, after all this facility was constructed to be able to facilitate 10,000 people at the very least, and there's more than one of this kind of facilities in the base. This place wasn't chosen for nothing because this is the biggest land owned by Grand Trading Corp. to date.

There's even a small airport inside and even though there are many facilities built here it doesn't look cramped at all, in fact, there are still quite a lot of land areas that were intentionally left undisturbed in order to facilitate future use.

It's been more than a week since the first victims have been transported here and some of them have already recovered and were trying to help in any way they can like cleaning and other stuff.

The personnel inside didn't prevent them from doing it, even though there's no need to since many functions of the facility are automated and only those that required human touch are left to the trained personnel to handle, such as managing the victims and administering medical solutions and such.

Of course, Arc can leave that to the drones if he wanted to after all almost all equipment in the Army base is from a Rank 5 technology, but Arc didn't agree with Eve and leave interactions on the victims to the drones and Droids, he said those victims can use some good old human interaction after all they've been through, though those drones are created using Rank 5 tech and have a basic AI installed, they are not like Eve who has a sort of emotion program installed in her even her voice sound like a real human, in fact, none of the people who once interacted with her think they are talking to an AI, all of them believe she was a real human.

That's the difference between her and the drones in the army base, who in their capacity can also interact with humans, only the people interacting with them are fully aware they are talking to a machine.

Arc was relieved when he saw the current conditions of the victims, some of them have already gained life in their eyes, and some can even be seen talking and laughing with each other. Arc thought that humans are really something, looking at some of them you wouldn't guess that just a few days ago they were in the most horrible situations you can possibly imagine.

"We humans really are something, our ability to adapt and accept is amazing, "said Arc in his mind.

Even so, Arc believes that many of them are only acting that way to hide their pain and maybe even forgot the terrible memory they have. But even so, the fact that they can act like that is already a good indication that they can fully recover, it's only a matter of time.

He notices that there are some who still have blank looks on their faces, but there's nothing he can do about that. The only good news is that none of them are in danger anymore. Physical damage can be healed easily, but psychological damage is not.

He also noticed that almost 80% of them are female and all of them are quite young, probably the oldest is no more than 30-something years old. And the most infuriating of all many of them are children, the youngest looks like 6-8 years old. According to Eve, the majority of them are orphans or abandoned children.

"Boss, what do you think?" asked Tom

"for one thing, I feel relieved, and for another, this gives me a motivation of some sort no, an excuse to do what we have to do in the future, maybe in the future we can all look back and smile and say we did a good thing," Arc said as he continues to stroll around.

Tom and Jerry didn't need to reply, they didn't have any emotional attachment to these people or to anyone for that matter, to them only fulfilling the request of their Boss is what matters, if by any chance Arc ask them to kill anyone here they won't even bat an eye even if they are asked to kill themselves, but for some reason listening to their Boss words something inside them stirs though they have no idea what it is for some strange reason they found themselves smiling from the words of their Boss

Of course, Arc remains ignorant about that. He didn't know that the seemingly unimportant words he said today would have a big impact on the future of all his subordinates and also on him.

While Arc was visiting the victims on the army base. The preparation for subjugating The Spider is in full swing, they have to move fast in order to surprise the Spider.

The operation is divided into two groups the Army will attack The Spider supply base, and the Shadow Unit will handle the main Base of Spider they have to plan carefully and although the planning is already been done for quite some time already some have to be adjusted because of some complication in the cleaning process of the former Anarchy 66, luckily Eve can make adjustments in real-time or change it completely if necessary to suit their current needs. So the Shadow Units and the Army, only need to do is take their position according to their current plan.

Many heavy types of equipment are being smuggled into the town nearest to the supply base of Spider, of course, the people of spider in the town are already been cleaned up and replaced by Shadow moon, they were arranged by the former head and elders of Anarchy 66.

So far according to Eve who is responsible for fooling and monitoring as well as coordinating, said, that Spider remains ignorant of their actions.

Although they have been made aware of the changes happening in Anarchy 66 they have no solid intel as their current spy is too low level to receive any important info, and trying to contact their former confidant in the former Anarchy 66 proves useless, as they cannot get in contact with them. And although they know this they were not surprised or worried because of the nature of Anarchy 66 to change the chain of command every now and then, they were curious, sure, but worried of course not, they are Spider one of the most powerful organizations in the underground world as well as in the surface world.

The only movement from an organization as big as them like Morgan Family and Death Crows can make them worried, changes happening to Anarchy 66 are a small matter to them even if the organization is destroyed at most they will send some force to take control of it or just check it out, but not to the point they'll be worried about it, and Eve knows this and because of that they can move almost unhindered without being overly cautious, but that doesn't mean Shadow unit and the Army can take it easy.

In fact, all action they take is considered and analyzed many times by Eve and the leaders of the Shadow unit and the Army before they take it because they want to execute the order of their Boss to perfection...
