The Viper's Successor by Somsiddha Saha (ebook reader play store .txt) 📗

by someone else. Not only henchmen but some mastermind is working behind this too I presume. Can’t we start with Viper’s real identity and find out why after his death situations are like this, and whom he have bequeathed his grievance?” Navan raised his voice.

“You can tell that better who was Viper really cz it was your troops plan to subdue and encounter.” Sidius looked at Navan with batting eyes.

“We spent 2 consecutive years to find out who this Viper really is but his adroit espionages and brutal works made us stunned. At last when I shot him his face was covered with mask too that time. Col. Tricas did every investigation possible before our mission but not a single link we found about his identity and his acts. Now, it could be a guild formed by his disciples keeping the fire of abomination undoused, its just they are too elusive, just like we have faced something like that too during Viper’s times.”

“Well, we are one step ahead of their possible activities: and rightly you said, Vipers men are like molluscs, too common to identify amidst crowd. This is a worldwide phenomenon now, and not only these two, but our all-seeing eyes are also setted in apt frequencies, tracking every activities and footsteps. Not the common people, but Corporate and Top-Notch industries and Business houses are their target, I surmise from the previous two bombardments. We have sent alerts to notable industries but analysing their footsteps would be absolute necessary.

Armun expressed “After subduing 6 of them, we have retrieved no information of their missions and strategy. They were zealots of Viper and kept their mouth shut inspite of third degrees and aggravated measures. Leaving them, 21 of Vipers men had been tracked worldwide but camouflaged as tourist, doctors and residents. They include drug lords, mafia, former members of Chinas Red Dragons, and Petroleum thugs. Before Apocalypse, the Badshah and oil mafias were also a part of this ring but after 2028 they disbanded themselves. Seems someone is guiding them in the absence of Viper and is trying to take control. These men are not that much snarky and astute to carry out such vicious operations.”

“Okay Gentlemen, I want every intel’s about those two on this table within one hour. Disperse.  Navan, Ms. Lucy is expecting you.”

Navan was baffled. He cannot even run, combat is his long-lost dream, Hudson got retarded or what? All he can do is sitting in front of computer now and submitting intels. What sort of activity did Chief mention to disclose?

“Navan, Im having keen faith entrusted up on you cz. I know you are patriot and your dedication towards the nation is unwavering. We need soldiers like you, son.” Hudsons last word was emotive.

“Ah Mr. Navan hope the meetings over” Lucy came up the stairs. “follow me.”

Accompanied by Lucy, Navan started walking. The floors were made of glasses and were translucent of all activities going down.

The elevator touched the basement. What Navan saw; he was completely flabbergasted.

A new life

Location: COD Laboratory

Time: 4:28 pm

The hall possesses a whole new level of technological marvel. From advanced Gliders to wingsuit, from Kevlar suits to jetpack and innumerable ranges of rifles and launchers, left him stunned.

“Welcome to tomorrow, Mr Navan. Technology is the light which cuts through the darkness of cognition, scientifically establish the innovations of mankind. Gone are those condescending days of anomalies and incongruencies, this unequivocal technology will soon dash through the bleeding edge.”

Fiction stories are his favourite, in fact he used to dress up as batman as a kid to scare off bullies. This reality really amazed him.

“We will now analyse your post-accident consequences and anatomical structures. Please get into this vessel.”

Navan lied in the vessel. He didn’t feel anything, except a minor pinch. A Bot arm scanned his body physics.

“Blood pressure normal, too much alcohol consumption, occasional blackout and vision impairment, Both the femur are completely damaged and cracked in places, shards and metal pieces from the blast penetrated into his pelvic girdle and has a 98% possibility of causing gangrene.” The analysis report was less than 3 minutes.

“I could see no other option than amputing your lower body part, Mr Navan.”

Navan was appalled. Some neighbours of his territory advised him to seek prosthetic limbs but this was beyond expectation.

“your life is at risk. Immediately have to start the procedure and improvise with our possible adjustments.”

“So, am I a lab experiment now? Just another guineapig?” Navan mocked.

“Relax, Mr.Navan: have unreserved faith on us.” Her concerned tone added “we will give you a mild sedative for the first step. The operation will be meticulous, and we want no intervention of your catatonic movements and we have to put you in a complete senseless situation for further treatments. Hope you will cooperate with us.”

Navans entire world blurred out in a moment after injection of the sedative, A complete void of pitch-black nothingness. Levitating without any restraints, squirming in the dark charted off course. Unable to grab any support he was ricocheting in trapezium of vast darkness.

“Is, Is that tomorrow?” his dizzy eyes located a trace of light.

Scanning…Scanning…Scanning complete. Biplanar Radiography of Navan Gilman, complete.”

“Heart-beat 98…vital functions…. normal…no signs of severe cardiac inflictions…”

“Mr.Navan, can you hear us?” Navan’s consciousness was normalising slowly.

“Operation Successful.” Lucy applauded for the supporting surgeons. “Now get off the bed and try to walk, Mr Navan.”

“walk?” Navan’s voice was full of inhibitions. His body was covered with a translucent sheet. taking that off, his eyes got quivered with the glaze of steel legs adjoined at his hip.

“Biologically Augmented Limbic Accelerators” she said “Interconnected by thousands of neural links to your thalamus and ventromedial prefrontal cortex, this will allow you to boost your motion and muscular calisthenics up to 75% of your normal humane capability. The body electrolytes provide sufficient energy to the limbs and for auxiliary power we have additionally installed two graphene aerogel batteries. Its AI will analyse imminent threat from any direction within 5 metre and can perform necessary stunts programmed
