BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM-Chapter 829 The Prison (1)

Erik found out many things while he studied Howell's documents and searched his devices.

The Crystal Cross Gang not only killed many people working with Becker but also captured a lot. Most of them had been transferred to New Alexandria's prison when Volkov arrived in the city, but some, of course, had been sent elsewhere.

Those loyal to Becker were still many, and it wasn't possible for a single prison to contain them all.

"You drive," Erik said, giving the keys to June.

"REALLY?!"

"Yes," Erik said with a smile. Erik called many people from the Crystal Cross Gang back in New Alexandria, but there were a lot of them who couldn't attend the meeting.

Most of them were those with guard duties, like those working at the police station or the prison.

"So, is there someone we have to save in particular or…?"

"No one in particular," Erik said. "But those men and women loyal to Becker will be a tremendous boost to our troops. I'm not actually planning to recruit them, but they will for sure stir trouble here in New Alexandria, and we could take advantage of that."

However, June was unconvinced. "Ok, but what if they changed their allegiance? What if they won't listen to you?"

Erik knew already what to say. "It doesn't matter. It's not like I will tell them where Becker is. I will only say he is alive and fighting Volkov." He thought for a second and then laughed.

"I bet they will want to stay in New Alexandria anyway, likely to kill Volkov."

"If you say so." June's gaze was, of course, set on Gus' flying car. It was the first time for him to drive.

As they settled into the flying car, June's hands trembled with anticipation, eager to take the wheel.

Since he had Erik's memories, he knew what to do and flying wasn't something new for him, so using the car wasn't even a problem.

The car lifted, and soon Erik and June were in New Alexandria's skies.

Despite his initial nerves, June found himself exhilarated as he moved the sleek vehicle through the skies of the city.

The city below sprawled out beneath them, a patchwork of destruction and reconstruction.

As they soared through the air, June marveled at the freedom and easiness of using the vehicle. A sense of exhilaration coursed through his veins.

With each passing moment, his confidence at the steering wheel grew.

"After this, what are we going to do?" June asked.

"After that, we are heading for Nokisi point. Howell said Shade was there. The problem will be to find him."

While Erik usually had leads about his targets, this time he only had a name. Besides, if Shade was just a legend in New Alexandria, it was clear it was the same elsewhere.

To find him, Erik had to infiltrate their organization or something like that. Nothing new. 𝗳r𝐞ew𝚎bn𝚘ve𝚕.c𝗼𝗺

Finally, they reached their destination—the prison.

"This is going to be fun," June said.

"Yeah. But keep an eye on brain crystal rifles. I think it's just a matter of time before Etrium will be able to scale up their production and start exporting them in huge batches."

"Understood, Master."

With a shared glance, Erik and June stepped out of the flying car.

"Will we infiltrate like usual?"

"No," Erik said. "We did it until now because I need information, but here there is nothing valuable I can gain. We enter from the front door." He grinned.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready, Master."

"Good. Let's go then."

Erik and June walked toward the prison door. There were people around, guards, most of the time, scanning the perimeter for intruders. It was a prison, after all, they couldn't leave it unattended.

Erik channeled mana and released a wind blade that destroyed the main door. It cut it horizontally, and the lower part fell to the ground with a thud.

"June, take care of the guards."

"Yes, Master."

With that, the clone jumped and landed over the fortified walls. He started killing the guards as Erik leisurely walked through the gate to the inner perimeter of the prison. In the meantime, a rain pour of notification came to Erik.

[MULTIPLE ENEMY HUMANS KILLED: MANA ABSORBING PROCESS STARTING.]

[0%...1%....5%...30%...70%...100%]

[MANA SUCCESSFULLY ABSORBED, STARTING CONVERTING PROCEDURE.]

[3...2...1...0]

[MANA SUCCESSFULLY CONVERTED INTO EXPERIENCE. 208440 EXPERIENCE POINTS AWARDED TO THE HOST.]

Erik grinned. He turned to look at June and saw he was already done with the outside guards. Erik pointed at the prison entrance, which was right now opening, letting guards armed with weapons powered up by Brain Crystal Powers rush out of it.

"Look, June, they opened the door for us! Aren't they polite?" He grinned again.

"Very much, master." June stopped to increase the drama his words conveyed. "Should we greet them?"

"I'm too lazy. Can you take care of it?"

In the meantime, the guards rushed toward Erik. "Of course, master."

It was at that moment that June rushed toward the guards. There were around fifty of them, around the same number of guards outside guarding the entrance.

"Stop the intruders!"

"Kill them!"

Though they didn't have the time to react. The strength of Erik's clone far surpassed their own, their abilities barely reaching the μ level. It was ironic.

Back when Erik still lived in New Alexandria, his hometown, facing off against a μ-ranked soldier was tantamount to signing one's own death warrant.

He had taken elaborate precautions to fly under the radar, avoiding confrontation with such adversaries at all costs. The mere thought of crossing paths with them had once sent shivers down his spine.

Yet, here he was, back in the very place where Erik had grown up, surrounded by enemies who he treated as mosquitoes.

It took a little before June made quick work of them, and Erik got a new notification.

[LEVEL UP.]

"Oh! I didn't expect that."

"What, master?"

"I just leveled up!"

Erik then looked at his status and noticed he didn't use his attribute points yet. "Ah, right. I totally forgot about that. System, pump my energy stat!"

[UNDERSTOOD.]
