Chapter 153 - One Five Three
In one of the low end hotels of a town an old man in a weird black robe, like the one used by sages, sat on an ancient chair, with his right hand slowly stroking his long beard and his eyes staring into the distance as if looking into the distant stars of the universe.
The old man had curly long white hair, curly long beard and grey mustaches.
He was a little chubby but exuded a saintly aura. Anyone who looked into his deep black eyes could see the vicissitude of civilizations and life that he had experienced. His face reflected kindness , love , empathy and all kinds of peaceful and positive emotions.
The Old man spoke after a short silence with a deep sigh and serious expression.
" I, the great sage Carl Marx, had lived for thousands of years, but I have seen my end approaching. I am leaving this message for the future generation.
If anyone is watching this, then it means that no one could stop the calamity that struck this planet …. In my deep meditative state I had a dream of the future. The planet re-populated again but the heart of the men was not the same anymore, they became greedy and selfish. It looked like their positive emotions degraded empathy and sympathy for their fellow humans had almost disappeared in the eyes of the ruling class.
The ruling class was nothing but a selfish and greedy entity that sucked the blood out of the citizens… With the oppression of the cruel government ….. cut cut….pause.."
The old man scratched his head while he turned off the camera in front of him.
Of course this was Dror who was cosplaying the father of revolution Carl Marx. In a weird attire, that would suit the ancient civilization.
He thought to himself.
"Maybe I should change the dialogue and script a bit… I am not used to this, I wonder how those actors and actresses do this…"
While he was still immersed in his own thoughts he heard a sarcastic voice.
" you really suck… Even those junior artists could do better than this.."
" Shut up Nympho, if you can't help with anything, at least shut up. So that I can concentrate on my work…"
" what a joke, it makes me vomit to watch your pathetic acting skills… I am leaving ."
And like that Nympho's voice disappeared.
Dror was feeling down when he heard Maya's encouraging voice.
" Don't worry master, I think you did great, Nympho is just jealous that you didn't accept her script and went with your own….. we just need to practice and edit a bit more and along with my illusion techniques, I believe it will be a great success..."
Dror was pleased at Maya's comment " you are right she is just jealous that our script is better than hers .. hrmph…. I knew I was born to be a super actor.."
Maya didn't know how to respond to that, but she was happy that her master was feeling more confident.
After continuing with the recording and editing for a while, Dror called for the supervisor of the hotel to bring him food and after the meal he went to bed.
But as the night became darker and the streets became quiet, Dror slowly sneaked out of his room through the window.
The enforcers in the town were only at warrior level and they only patrolled the streets every now and then.
Dror soon reached his destination, the building before him had the board " Public works department " .
There were no stringent security measures and he bypassed all of them with much ease .
After entering the building he didn't go for the modern computers or files, what he went for was the old store room which was used to dump the expired equipment and similar objects.
The room was much wider and he had to utilize his warrior essence to move everything that was blocking his path.
It took him some time to find what he was looking for. It was a cuboid machinery very similar to the communication equipment from the ancient civilization that his research department had studied.
He took out some modern equipment from his space ring and started removing the outer parts of the equipment and then connected some wires into it from a small tablet that looked like a mini computer.
After adding some crystals it wasn't long before the cuboid started up with a small 3d projection.
It took him around 2 hours to complete what he was trying to achieve and then left the room and office, restoring everything back to the exact same manner as it was before.
When he had asked the research department to study the communication equipment, it was not just to search for the hidden ancient civilization facilities that had not yet been discovered, but also because this was also an integral part in his plan to make his grand revolution plan a people centric one.
Dror left the town the next day and kept on traveling, taking rest in almost every small town or villages that had similar ancient civilization communication equipment.
These communication equipment was not just a person to person communication equipment, but also acted as mass communication equipment for broadcasting emergency information to large populace in a specific radius in the time of the ancient civilization.
Dror was converting this into his own private broadcast channel.
Ever since the Alliance government took over the planet all kinds of communication were under their complete control and scrutiny.
They even monitored the private conversation through sky watch all the time and if anything that was deemed to negatively affect the alliance government was discovered then they would take actions immediately.
The public broadcasting channels in the alliance government only played the news and programs which the Alliance government deemed not problematic.
For this reason the rebels have also found it extremely difficult to reach out to the public.
The rebels themselves could only rely on their own specially modified sky watches and dark networks to communicate.
The commoners were finding it difficult to meet their daily living expenses, much less the pricey modified sky watches and they were also banned by the alliance government.
Dror knew that he had only one single window to use these ancient equipment to reach out to the public and he needed to nail it in that single opportunity.
Once the Alliance government knows what is happening they will shut it down at any cost.
….
Dror kept on visiting towns and villages that were created on the ruins of the ancient civilization, while using the fastest mode of transportation including his own earth skip technique and finally reached the city of Ranbath.
The city was as enormous and developed as the city of Tarnish that he had visited earlier.
With the fake identity forged by the rebels and his own disguise, he easily got through the security checks.
The city of Ranbath was ruled by one of the 7 powerful families, Oboroten
family. Even among the 7 families Oboroten were one of the strongest because it was a family of Wolf anthropomorph, put more simply a werewolf family.
Dror was extra vigilant even before entering the city of Ranbath, because he had already met someone called detective Harman with extraordinary senses.
Harman was a special kind of hound anthropomorph while the Oboroten were known as the White hunter wolves, they were nothing less than detective Harman in tracking and using their different senses.
While Dror was carefully treading through the city of Ranbath, the exp[edition team led by Xeander had already split into five smaller teams.
The whole expedition team consisted of 50 members, who could be further divided into 5 teams with individual expedition capabilities.
Each ten member team consisted of scientists, archeologists, warriors and other relevant professionals required for the expedition.
Xeanders team had chosen one of the facilities that Dror had specifically marked to be explored.
This was one of the facilities with a higher chance to find some hidden weapons or related projects from ancient civilization.
Dror even specifically asked Xeander to look into the facility as he had found that this was one of the facilities that the high official from the ancient civilization had specifically marked as top secret.
The hidden facility was situated in a mountain range that was inside a deeply forested area, Xeander and his team had to slay many spiritual beasts to reach it, thankfully there were no higher level spiritual beasts that they couldn't deal with.
After finding the entrance to the facility it took hours of combined effort of different professionals to even open the entrance.
The facility was much different than the ones the rebels had excavated so far, the security measure on this one was much more dangerous and stringent.
When Xeander and his team finally entered inside they were gobsmacked by the sheer size of the entire facility.
This was clearly one of the biggest secret facilities that they have discovered so far. The whole facility had been built by digging out almost 60 or 70 % of the entire huge mountain.
The top level security measures itself was enough to point out that they have discovered something amazing this time.
