The bunker control room was filled with palpable tension. Lía, Ana and Marcos analyzed every detail of the images on the monitors, trying to understand the scope of the betrayal and the true intentions of this new enemy.
"I can't believe he survived," Ana said, her voice filled with disbelief. —I thought we lost him in the last battle.
"And now he is working with those who have been attacking us from the shadows," Marcos responded, his tone somber. —We have to act quickly.
Lía nodded, her mind working at full speed. She knew they couldn't waste time. They had to confront this traitor and dismantle the operation before they could cause more damage.
"We need a plan," Lía said, her voice firm. —Let's divide into two teams. One will be in charge of securing this control room and collecting all possible information. The other will look for our traitor and confront him.
Ana and Marcos nodded, ready for the mission.
"Ana, you will lead the information gathering team," Lía continued. —Marcos, you will come with me. Let's find this traitor and find out everything he knows.
As they prepared for the mission, Lía felt a mix of anticipation and determination. She knew that this confrontation would be crucial to the future of NeoLumen.
They moved stealthily through the dark corridors of the bunker, avoiding patrols and using the information from the monitors to guide them. Finally, they arrived at a large meeting room. Through a crack in the door, they saw their target: a middle-aged man with gray hair and a hard expression, arguing with a group of well-armed individuals.
"There he is," Marcos whispered, his voice barely a whisper.
Lía nodded, her heart pounding. She knew they had to act quickly and precisely.
"As soon as we enter, we surround the room and secure all the exits," Lía instructed. —Let's not let anyone escape.
With a gesture, Lía and Marcos burst into the room, their weapons raised. The surprise on the faces of those present was evident, but they quickly recovered and began to fight.
Lía and Marcos moved with precision, taking down the guards and securing the room. The traitor tried to escape, but Lía caught up with him, pushing him against the wall.
-Because? —She demanded, her voice full of rage. —Why did you betray the resistance?
The man looked at her with a mixture of contempt and sadness.
"You don't understand what's at stake," he said. —They offered me a way to save NeoLumen, to bring order and stability. The resistance could not achieve it.
—At what cost? —Lía replied. —You have endangered everything we fought for!
The traitor shook his head.
-It is not so simple. There are things you don't know, forces at play that go beyond what you can imagine. The Council was just the beginning. This group, the real force behind everything, wants to control NeoLumen for their own benefit.
Lía felt a wave of anger and frustration. She knew that the traitor would say no more, but she also knew that there was truth in her words. They needed more information.
"Take him away," she ordered Marcos. —We have to interrogate him and find out everything he knows.
As they headed back to the control room, Lía felt that something had changed. They had taken a crucial step in the fight for NeoLumen, but they had also unearthed secrets that could change everything.
Arriving at the control room, Ana informed them that they had managed to collect a large amount of data on the enemy's operations. There was a communications network and hidden bases that had to be dismantled.
"We have to move quickly," Lía said, her voice full of determination. —With this information, we can begin to dismantle their network and stop their attacks.
Ana and Marcos nodded, ready for the next phase of the fight. They knew the road ahead would be difficult, but they also knew they were closer than ever to securing NeoLumen's freedom.
As they prepared for the next mission, Lía felt a spark of hope. They had discovered the true enemy, and now they had the opportunity to face and defeat him. The battle for NeoLumen was not over yet, but with each step, they got closer to victory.
