SIMULATION
PAUSE

Sandra kept running. However, the warning signs of a decline in body function made the blonde woman forced to stop to rest.

“Oh, I am tired,” he said as he sat leaning on a large rock where the sun would soon rise.

Sandra's breath was puffed. He closed his eyes as if he were going to sleep. Four WolfBots sat around him in standby mode.

Suddenly, an object appeared that Sandra recognized. He stared at the object intently which was now landing in front of him. Sandra's smile.

“OK. You must have been sent to help me complete the mission,” he said pointing to a portable helicopter shaped like an insect where he used it when he first simulated experiments with C-level robots.

Sandra's eyes sharpened as she saw a rectangular black flat object being carried by the robot. Sandra immediately picked it up and attached it to the left robot arm. The thing is automatically activated.

BIB!

Sandra is shocked to find Rey's face appearing there in a hologram. Matteo deliberately set the look of the video by changing the face and sound like Rey.

Matteo looks nervous in a special room, where the video is done in real-time. All the officers were tense.

“Halo, Sandra. I'm sorry if I had to show up in this state. It's just, I want to give you an important piece of information so that you can pass this mission and return to Great Ruler safely,” Rey said, but instead make Sandra cry. “Hey, don't cry. I know you're a strong woman. It's just that we don't have much time. You must complete the mission immediately. You understand?” rey asked, where Matteo looked as if he was talking directly to Sandra in front of him. Sandra nodded slowly and wiped away the tears quickly.

“Listen to me, Sandra. The Mola system was sabotaged by Morlan. You and the rest of User B-level robots are trapped. What you saw as it floated in the air about the mutant army, it was true. In a moment, those mutants will arrive at the Great Ruler, and the remaining warriors will have to face them.”

Practically, Sandra's eyes were fully rounded.

“Your simulation is real. Your body is indeed in the Great Ruler and your robot in the middle of nowhere that has never been explored by any User. All the enemies that will come to attack and try to take you down, not from the simulator, but from Morlan. WolfBot will protect you. We'll send you as much help as we can to make sure you survive and make it through all levels. Because of you, the key to waking up hypersleep users. You got it?” asked Rey, and Sandra nodded slowly.

“Try asking Mola for ... mm, like asking for this simulation to be paused. Your body is tired and should be given nutrients. Rest, at least for two hours so that your body is back in shape to continue the mission. Don't force yourself, Sandra. Your life is precious,” said Rey looking at him fixedly and Sandra nodded in understanding.

“I'll try,” replied the blonde woman while looking at Rey's hologram emerging from a flat board. Sandra took a deep breath. “Mola,” call Sandra.

“Halo, Otka. Your journey to arrive at the mission point takes thirty minutes by running.”

“Yes, thank you for being reminded,” replied Sandra while massaging her forehead. “Mola, can you ... pause this level? I feel tired and want to rest,” he asked nervously.

“Yes, of course. What happened on the ground, however, continued. Your real body will be put to sleep including robots in the field. Any type of attack outside the program is out of the control and not the responsibility of the system. You want to accept all the risks?” ask Mola who made Sandra's heart pound.

Sandra looked at Rey's hologram, and her late husband nodded. Sandra nodded slowly.

“Yes, I accept the risk. Pause me for one hundred and twenty minutes,” he replied steadily. “Dan .. one more. Mola, can your visuals be replaced with Rey's? I ... miss him.”

Suddenly, everyone was shocked, including Matteo.

“Of course. Visual display changes are made. Request Rey Rovoski.”

BIB!

“Halo, Sandra,” greet Mola who has now changed to Rey both voice and figure. Sandra just cried. He smiled, but his tears were falling. Matteo and the others fell silent.

“You want to be put in-pause now?” ask Rey.

“Yes. Nice to see you again, Rey,” Sandra said, cutting off contact with the flat-shaped communication device on her wrist.

Matteo looked lethargic with a blank look in the special room.

BIB!

Instantly, Sandra closed her eyes. Two metal pins in the temple made the beautiful woman unconscious.

A dorsal support appeared and continued to extend about the size of Sandra's body. It was now like a pedestal floating in the air.

Matteo came out of the room and saw Sandra asleep. The medics immediately went to Sandra's body and provided nutrition to keep her in top shape when she came back online.

This is also done to all users affected by hypersleep. They were fitted with portable infusions and given vitamin injections so as not to lack nutrients during unconsciousness.

“Matteo,” call Lala who is back coming to the simulation room where she has been there when Matteo enters a special room to contact Sandra.

“I'm tired. Wake me up when Sandra gets back online,” pinta Matteo sluggish, and Lala nods softly.

Lala sees Mola has changed into Rey. The woman simply stood still and let Mola's visuals be replaced.

All the districts are seen on standby with many robotic armies of levels D and E. The men who were appointed as commanders in the attack defense appeared to be ready in position.

Sure enough, the outermost surveillance cameras identified movement from the North side leading to the Great Ruler.

“They're coming! Prepare!” said Major Petroska, who now serves as the leader of the District 10 defense forces.

“Flying mutants visible. That's the same bird from the first District 10 raid!” operator monitoring from surveillance cameras at District 10 Tower Control Center.

“Prepare laser cannon. We're gonna kill those mutants! Don't let them through the wall. Prepare!” petroska's orders were loud, standing firmly behind the glass tower of District 10.

“Laser cannon prepared. Target locked. Five winged mutants have been tagged. Ready to fire,” said the smart computer authorized against the weapon system.

“Oaakkk!” the litching of mutant birds is like a fusion between a human and an eagle.

An animal that has two hands and two legs with curved iron claws. The sharp beak is serrated and can spurt acidic substances from its mouth. It has a featherless tail with sharp spines sticking out, as well as two large wings with bulletproof scaly skin.

The animal approached District 10 which had been protected by a barricade that covered the sky. As expected, the bird sprayed acid to perforate the roof.

“FIRE!” exclaim Petroska loudly.

“Oaakkk!” The birds groaned, as laser cannons fired at them while spraying the acid.

Their bodies were charred and melted. The laser continued to fire at the flying mutants until two of them fell because a massive attack managed to hole the wings.

The creatures fell and hit the barricade. Other birds that were able to survive flew towards the laser cannon to incapacitate the weaponry.

“Laser cannon 02 disabled. Weapon cannot operate,” says computer system.

“Agh! Damnit damnit! They must be controlled! They're trying to cripple our weaponry. Don't let your guard down! Drop them all!” indignant Petroska and all the operators tried to defend the remaining laser cannons which now number four.

The yellow laser beam continued to glide into the sky. The birds were agile in evading the laser fire from the cannons. The steel roof barricades began to perforate due to the bursts of acid that melted the outermost defenses.

“Directors get ready! They will definitely infiltrate!” petroska's orders.

Soon the D level robot troops with the 05 series prepared with laser shots were directed to the holes. They were ready to wait for the mutants who were about to enter through the gap.

Soon, a flying mutant appears carrying a mutant like an insect who fought with B-One in the Colosseum a few years ago. Everyone's eyes widened from meeting that old enemy.

A mutant is like a fusion between a human and an animal. His head was like a shark, but it had two human-like hands dangling down to the calf.

However, the other hand appears on the back like a tarantula. The animal can stand on two legs like a human, but on tiptoes. The skin has no scales, but it looks thick.

“Piikkk!”

“Bet ready!” petroska's command with wide-eyed eyes as a creature with sharp, curved nails that could pierce through the steel made it in after a flying mutant was shot down by a laser cannon 03. “Remember! The monster's arm could grow again if it was cut with ordinary iron. Use the laser and melt him!”

“Yes, Sir!” answer all users who are in the field are ready with laser weapons.

“Piikkk!”

“Agh! Damnit damnit! Even the screech can penetrate our anti-vibration glass. Morlan must have reinforced the mutant attacks of his creation. Don't let your guard down, and kill them all!” petroska ordered, closing both ears with his hands.

As it turned out, the shrill was also heard and felt by everyone. Residents who were in the evacuation room experienced ear pain due to the deafening sound with high frequency.

“Shoot!” a D-level robotic user is inside the massive combat robot when a shark-headed mutant runs towards it quickly and the ear hurts.

Laser fire continues to rain down on the mutant, but the animal's movement is now more agile than it used to be. The creature can even jump high.

“Oh, shitt!” screech one of the D-level robot users when the mutant is now standing on the chest of his robot and returns shrill.

“Oh!” exclaim everyone who saw from the surveillance camera when the nails of the creature was able to penetrate the protective glass of the robot.

“Piikkk!”

“Arrghhh!” erang User when the deadly shrill made his ears immediately bleed until his eyes closed tightly.

“No!” pekik Petroska, when he saw from the camera in the large robot, the mutant stabbed User's chest to death and his chest was hollow.

The mutant hand pulled the body that had lost its life and threw it far away and made the D-level robot lose its controller.

“Sial! Don't give mercy! Kill them all!” petroska's order was furious until it hit the table for losing one of the men guarding the District so that mutants could not break through the next District, District 9.

The mutants' attacks managed to penetrate into the District 10 barricade. Attacking each other is inevitable.

Without User B-level robots it would be impossible to take down mutants who look more powerful and ferocious than during the initial attack a few years ago.

“Sir! The West side has been broken. No robots are guarding the wall. The laser cannon is left in two and is still optimized to take down the flying mutants carrying the payload!” an officer looked panicked.

Major Petroska sees a deadly attack from the mutants that is able to withstand all the attacks from the weaponry released by the robot User.

The bodies of the mutants were wounded, but did not kill the creatures. The mutants were even more violent when they were pressed.

“We will lose! Immediately evacuate yourself! We're not gonna hold on. Go immediately and report this to all the Districts. Fast!” petroska's orders from where he stood.

“Yes, Sir!” all officers immediately forwarded the emergency message. Instantly, the sound of alarms throughout the District sounded. The users of robots level D and E immediately prepare.

“Morlan must have made modifications. We have to find the weak points of those mutants!” said Roman furious from District 9 Command Center Green Eco-03 Building.

“Oh! You remember that controller embedded in the skulls of those mutants? We smash that thing by slashing their heads,” Tony suggested.

“Yes, that's right. Worth trying,” Admiral Joe agreed.

“Immediately inform all Users who are in charge of aiming at the heads of mutants. Once decapitated, smash their heads. Execute!”

“Yes, President!” answer all the operators in the room.

The tense and tense atmosphere sent all the officers into a panic, including residents who had taken refuge and taken shelter in bunkers.

If District 10 is penetrated, the next District that will be affected by the attack is District 9 and will spread to other Districts.

District 9 is the center of the Great Ruler Military. If the place falls, the great State collapses.
