Day 240 – Monday – 2:00 PM
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALCh70YYEw
We named the mission Operation Z31. Everyone was already in position.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvHgb24iI0
We, The Reds, waited silently inside the underground pipeline, listening for Rashid’s signal. The Blues were ready near the west side of the fortress-like factory. The Yellows were stationed inside an abandoned plastic factory on the east side.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1l5p7ydo5
Rashid had hacked into all security cameras and was now monitoring the entire place through the Cyclops drones. He was our eyes.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJprMa5WNR
Suddenly, The Yellows launched the first move — remote-controlled drones dropped smoke bombs and sticky grenades all across the third layer near the factory’s main entrance. Simultaneously, the Stormbloods from the Blue team took out the snipers on the watchtowers with precise shots.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9h1J0UHQu
Then came the boom. Another group from the Yellows fired rocket launchers at the top of the factory from the west and then quickly moved to the east, re-entering the plastic factory.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP3zomkorC
On the other side, Professor Joe, riding his modified buggy, fired zombie-attracting bombs into the second layer, the zone swarming with The Bulks. He then zipped to the west side before they could react.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDcuZveEbF
As expected, the gates of the first and second layers at the west side flew open. The enemies took the bait. All attention turned to The Blues.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD8dp6gU5H
That’s when our ace came in: modified vehicles with mechanical catapults. The Blues launched burning vehicle tyres toward the gates to block and confuse the oncoming Rottens. The fire held the line longer than we thought. The Bulks, lured by the sonic pulses of K-Zhaii's bomb, were completely distracted.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiuL42kBnE
Signal received. Time to move.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaV4EbjLgN
We, The Reds, entered the factory through the maintenance room, previously scouted by Rashid using his bug cameras the night before. It was clear and empty.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3RRKdCKrL
We moved swiftly, heading straight for the room where Valli and others were held. Rashid had also informed us of a family locked up nearby — and one more mysterious prisoner. The guards were overheard saying, “Thank God we chained that guy to the chair.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX7x1LArLg
Strange.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtjgzK6hPW
Rashid gave us instructions through private radio headsets only our team could hear.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSWRc2iQdt
K-Zhaii led the way.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWYiguSwcE
On our path, we silently took down several guards. When we reached the prison doors, a guard suddenly appeared from a hidden door and tried to stab Ajay.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk2fse9CFb
Without hesitation, Kohila decapitated him.
We were stunned — not just by the kill, but by the eerie, casual smile on her face afterward.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6oTBnIePb
Ajay used Hackbrain to unlock the prison. As I approached the door, my heart pounded like never before. For a moment, everything was silent.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeixhtyFpl2
And then, I saw her.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN60BLisDL1
Valli.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpMZcXtKMu
She ran straight into my arms, hugging me tightly. Her tears told the story of everything she had endured. I had imagined this moment in so many ways, but reality hit harder than any dream.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYxGVJW3G3
Ajay and Kohila stood beside us, smiling with pride.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16oYoj3AvN
Shanthini locked eyes with K-Zhaii. They both smiled — a silent connection sparking between them.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxhx2o7Z85
Azrul broke the moment.
“Alright, lovebirds. We’re happy for you. But let’s get the hell out of here.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFyzeLT1NB
We nodded. Freed the family and explained everything quickly. One of the girls in the family — her voice was familiar. Azrul recognized it.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aNxImbLxS
She had sent the earlier radio message begging for help.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e0XqbEyyC
“We were forced to do it,” she cried. “They threatened our lives to lure you in.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBVF4YNtts
K-Zhaii paused, stared at them, then simply said, “They’re telling the truth.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43XuW7HAZu
That was enough. We brought them along.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zJjWNfJ9Q

46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCH6YTHxgh
The Third Prison
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1neuuXBpo
This door was different — metal, not wood, and locked with multiple chains.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3rADEP3zC
Ajay and I peeked through a small gap. A man was strapped to a chair, completely chained, head covered with a black plastic bag.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KWdTf5omj
“Hey!” Ajay called. “We’re here to rescue everyone. Can we trust you?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngqqEAut7H
A deep voice replied, “Kid… release me. I’ll make sure you get out alive. ChitChat.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydHy5vj5gl
We froze.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXUJqyViTc
Ajay and I looked at each other, jaws dropping.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76j1mfJDnn
“Machi… is it—? No way!”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUMPe8aOdG
We removed the plastic bag.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXt2LlXP2v
We couldn’t believe our eyes.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwnYNl8b3x
It was Jay Lee.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6g2zak4sl
THE Jay Lee — legendary action superstar, director, producer. Master of the fusion combat style Gun-Thai — Muay Thai mixed with firearm combat. Rumors say he once killed a thug with a hairclip. Anything in his hands became a weapon.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHXetVmTjH
We grew up watching his films. We even had a full movie collection.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld1773AgEO
We just saved our idol.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx66fyBDBd
Even Rashid, watching through our cams, screamed over the comms.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qQRVSyxyn
K-Zhaii grumbled, “Stick to the mission, guys!”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0aS6ohXzX
Ajay and I echoed in unison, “Big fan, sir. It’s an honour to meet us!”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgQH3IsxeS
We laughed. Jay Lee smiled.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDRtSokErM
We regrouped and moved towards the south side of the factory as planned.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gV1a09IOs

46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GdTBSpJID
The Cure Bomb
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwAbfFIBNo
I radioed Rashid: “All clear. Proceed with the next move.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMufaNE1VE
Rashid fired a flare gun.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1whdCzRKEH
Boom.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe1O0w69vg
The Blues launched the secret weapon — The Raya Bomb, designed by Professor Joe. It detonated mid-air, spreading glowing spores over the Rottens.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NxX5Wjsp4
Within seconds, over 200 Rottens were cured. Some fainted, some fell to their knees, confused and crying.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1jRfzKGAf
Hope. For the first time, we saw hope.

Secret Plan: The Showdown
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE6Pmm8Hmd
Earlier, Ling from The Whites had gathered survivor groups once helped by Stormbloods. They arrived using a local radio signal at the hospital.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3YnyLi6BW
When the time came, they charged through the first layer, helping rescue the newly cured Rottens. Though some were lost, many were saved.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpshUSdcJo0
The Blues and Whites fought fiercely, holding the line.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9rOD8ogmy
Meanwhile, we were clearing the path inside, fighting our way to the exit.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67NQb2kmHG
Jay Lee — a beast in action — single-handedly took down every guard who tried to flank us.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hoy5rRAXq
But then came the factory demolition phase.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3x9rFQIOt
We had to plant a bomb near the gas boiler tanks to destroy the facility and ensure the Servants were wiped out.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEnBoZ9b7b
Pugazh, Ajay, Valli, and Kohila moved to carry this out, forming two sub-teams:
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm846CjaBbf
Red 1 (bomb squad)
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHTGajvoz3
Red 2 (extraction squad)
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ9bwgVzpC
But as we entered the boiler room…

46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeHEUJbs6D
The Servant Leader Returns
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ17X7966C7
A man in a dark brown robe and gold mask appeared out of nowhere.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNIzPCkGuU
“You again!” he screamed, opening fire with an M16.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkeDpZAgzD
Ajay and I ducked for cover.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP6d78IF4T
“Who the hell is this guy?” I whispered.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43OCdBwrN1
I saw a water pipe on the wall and got an idea.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVyxKabuIZ
“Machan,” I yelled, “Remember The Powerkill? Jay Lee’s movie?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsaOZTIh3n
Ajay grinned. “Let’s go!”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah0aKX1iFN
We both shot the pipes. Water flooded the floor.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCHeqGNLGc
Then I tossed The Zhask — a high-voltage taser stick invented by Mr. Shaiful — into the water.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KQj8g3EEo
ZAP.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZbZ6YRQzf
The Servant Leader screamed and collapsed. Before he died, he pressed a remote.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAdXmQvedo
His mask came off.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiK6xWm9s1
He wasn’t the one we killed before.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZKSZdw5Hz
He had a crocodile-bat hybrid tattoo on his bald head — the same symbol we saw in the original Servants’ base.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HtkN4yycw
There wasn’t time to think.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yKJOxrKWD
We rushed in and planted the bomb.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRzN1Edyyh
And then the cages opened.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Hb8L1zjBA
Six Bulks.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshKmCCjzr5
Ajay and Kohila used sticky bombs. They barely slowed them.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivoaiSlSsJ
We were trapped.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzpv9DvGe3
Weapons low. Ammo low. No way out.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPSwA4Hoom
Valli held my hand. Kohila did the same with Ajay.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bROkUkJbF
We were ready for one last fight.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqZSBROKA2
I screamed:
“One last time, guys — MERDEKA!!”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kz1OxgL6P
Just as we charged…
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLQpA0aQG9
The door behind the Bulks exploded.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWwoNMFJbk
K-Zhaii, Shanthini, and Jay Lee entered.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26CRq1U0vX
They had received word from Rashid, who saw everything on cam.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGn5XM4okG
K-Zhaii threw a Raya Bomb. Jay Lee shot it mid-air.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0IcGvtmZx
Boom.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y957KnyGH
The Bulks turned. Confused. Human again.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr555tTCrFL
I told them, “Trust us. Let’s go.”

The Final Escape
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTB5t9giKe
We made it to the exit… but it was overrun by Rottens and Bulks.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV90zOH222
Our final secret plan.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04NKGRoMcW
From the skies came Major Prakash in The Z-Hawk — a military Lynx helicopter.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJESv5QfB6
Machine guns roared.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEux0aj13h
He cleared the path.
“Let’s go!” he yelled.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp3qCg6hEV
The Blues arrived with trucks. We sprinted out.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QdgJOFqTr
Just as we ran, two Bulks rose.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByuBr08vSt
One grabbed my leg, throwing me hard against a steel box. My vision blurred.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuLTfUYDlQ
I saw Valli grab my rifle, take multiple shots, and bring the Bulk down.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn03uUviNC
Ajay and Kohila finished the second with axe and revolver.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApn7NvgOl2
Then everything went black.

Day 240 - Monday - 6:30 PM
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj3yw3TzvP
I was in my dreamland.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaarBoJjzgd
I wore a tuxedo.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TDqGteBZh
Surrounded by fairies and angels. I saw a long road ahead.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKIZhYxMPY
At the end of it stood Valli, in a white dress, calling my name.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FMQOiXVFg
“Pugazh! Pugazh! Pugazh!”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG5ybbnvkQ
I took a step.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgilbSVT3hW
Her voice grew louder.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT8wV7PlFj
And then I opened my eyes.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgneu3dOYZT
She was really there.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhI1xJqIO2
Holding my hand.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuPvR5dt9m
