"For a while, UWG (United World Government) had no solution to this problem. Until, fourteen peoples got selected to become part of a secret squad called «TES» squad, codename «Squad 0». They were sent in a dangerous island to undergo a secret training, under the order of the uppermost-echelon.The upper-most-echelon known to the world as the council of Supremes"
The moment Arnold mentioned Council of supreme, an ancient expression took place on Feng previous serious face.
The serious Feng became more serious!
Dracula operated his mind and activated the voice recorded, installed in his mechanical brain. Because information related to the Supreme was scarce. His mechanical eyes glowed with a dark glint.
Feng and Dracula, both knew about the Council of Supreme. Everyone in this world did. The five peoples with the most powerful Mecha in the entire world were none other than the members of the Council of Supremes. They were also the founder or somehow related to the founders of the United World Government!
Arnold was impressed by himself after seeing their expression. "What a great story teller I am" Arnold thought pleased by himself, as he exposed his glorious past in the best way possible(Covering up all the sad part).
He continued,
"Of course, each of the member was carefully chosen after going through dozen of screening and by the recommendation of those in the upper echelons. At least a mission compet.i.tion rate of 90%+ and hidden quirks was needed. Along with that, a record clear of any criminal activities. I was lucky enough to be one out of those fourteen people. During the training, we faced live and death situation. But all of us managed to make it out alive.
"Together, we faced life and death situations. So, A special kind of bond was developed between us. At the end of the training, we found out that we needed to undergo a surgery to obtain a power unknown to man. A surgery that will increase our strength beyond human norm. A scientist, someone whose name I cannot say, created this human modification method.
"Undergoing bodily modification was also the most important and required qualification to join the squad.
"After all, the fourteen of us were selected for the sole purpose of completing deadly and impossible to complete mission.
"Hence, the upper-echelon believed that the power obtained after bodily modification will be the best solution to face off against the SSS-level missions.
"The fourteen of us naturally underwent the human modification surgery. As one less member will cause the chances of death to increase, while completing SSS-level mission. No one wanted to betray their own brother and sister in life and death.
"I don"t know whether our gene got mixed with the genes of unknown animals or aliens. But I do know, that after the surgery each of us gained a single unique ability.
"The ability is also the reason to my inhumane strength. The ability I obtained after modification increases my physical capabilities and my senses by dozens of times, each time I trigger it. But it have a time limit. This ability is cla.s.sified as «Overload». Using this ability, I can at least destroy a «Gray-sheen Flesh zombie».
Arnold finished explaining the reason to his inhumane strength, Arnold stood still after reminiscing about his past, while gazing at the silver moon.
He added the last line to impress the youngsters and prove his worth. He wanted Feng Mei to know that in the apocalypse he won"t only be carrying burdens on his back to a safe-zone.
"No wonder why you accepted to accompany us to the Flamingo Mall without flinching even once. You had a trump card!" The serious Feng said to Arnold. He nodded his head, acting like a detective.
"Though, your past sounds like a tale right out of fiction." The serious Feng was captivated by Arnold. He loved Arnold story!
Feng nature of being a hardcore Otaku didn"t change. Arnold past sounded like a sci-fi Hollywood movie!
"Haha, isn"t it. But this world have also changed to a apocalyptic world, something found in movies" Arnold replied, feeling proud of his past.
Dracula standing near them was more curious about the words «Squad 0» and «TES». His nature was that of a curious child, listing after knowledge. He wanted to clarify his knowledge related to the history. And Arnold was the very person that can provide him with this information!
After interacting with Arnold various times, Dracula have calculated that Arnold is a kid-con. Dracula was a robot but his robotic body looked no different than a 12-year-old Italian kid!
He knew what he needed to do obtain knowledge about «TES» squad from Arnold.
Dracula acted cute and excitedly shook Arnold wrist.
"Mister Arnold, can you please disclose a tiny bit. I really mean a tiny bit of information about the "TES" squad" Dracula said, looking at Arnold with his curious and innocent black eyes~
The serious Feng knew what Dracula was doing. He let him do it because he also was curious about «TES» squad.
Arnold already know that Dracula is a robot. But being a kid-con caused Arnold to fell for the cute frontal a.s.sault of Dracula!
"Sure, Let"s see... Hmm..." Arnold stammered like a hyperventilating perverted old middle and said in a way that will hype the two listeners.
"The fourteen of us were put together in a squad. Once again, I was lucky; lucky enough to be chosen as the leader of the squad.
"A squad created to complete SSS-level mission was finally established.
"The special squad was named as «Squad 0» also called TES. TES full forms means Terrorist Extermination Squad!. The member of my squad was referred to as the Modified humans, by the higher ups.
"Furthermore, all information about us was made confidential. Only accessible by members of upper-echelons and the upper-most echelon.
"Hence, we remain unknown to the world. No one know that there fourteen heroic souls. We placed out lives on the line to fight against the terrorist everyday.
"My squad, true to its name was a monster. Completing one mission after another. We completed all the impossible mission. In the end, we terminated all S-ranked and ranked terrorist organization. After that, the TES squad got disbanded under the order of the higher-ups. Since the very reason for the creation of TES squad had ended."
Arnold explained some basic information related to Squad 0 and satisfied Dracula Curiosity.
~Arnold made sure to commit all the sad part~
Arnold wasn"t stupid. He exposed confidential information to Feng Mei and Dracula because he won"t be met with any consequences.
The world was in unknown condition and mostly devasted. There were green, gray and red zone.
The UNG would not know that he disclosed this information to Feng Mei. Even if they knew, what could they do? It"s not like they will harm Arnold, who has been selflessly providing the UWG with his service.
