Secret Chamber Underground Floor 5

According to his plan, all of us are going to undergo training within one month before we proceed to his project titled “ICEMAN”. After the brutal training he forced us to endure, he said something I never expected he would say.

“Hello my fellow soldiers, right now, you’re no longer a soldier of the United Nations. You are now a soldier of the future. Congratulations to all of you who have been able to keep up with my training. I know you’re not contented to do that again. However, the higher-ups have ordered me to finish the task given to me within this week. Therefore, I’ll give you an exemption to resign now because a new rule has been added. You need to sever your ties with your families, friends and other relatives. You have thirty-six hours to decide your fate. Thank you and God bless you all!”

Every one of us was stunned. I felt guilty for bringing them with me. I don’t know why he kept us here for nothing like this. I know he was planning something that could help the world from the Federation.

“He is a monster! No, he’s worse than a devil! What kind of person is he? Why do we need to sever our ties with our families? I don’t understand him. General, shall we kill that man? Is he really preparing us for the sake of the world or just as the guinea pigs for his experiments? General, answer me!”

“Hey, keep it down, Major Splinter. The general has been through it just like us. Don’t ask him, he suffers more than any of us. So keep it down, will ya?”

After that, only twelve out of twenty-four of my men decided to stay because of me. Next, my big brother called me over the loudspeaker to come into his office, ready to explain his next procedure.

Chief of Staff Office

“How was your vacation here? Has it been fun?”

What the hell are you talking about? Of course not! It was like a living hell, more brutal than my previous life on the front lines. We were bombed by endless rockets, missiles and even shooting railguns. We swam in the coldest water of Antartica without any gear and jumping from twenty thousand feet without any parachute is a like a playground to me. Even though I’m a soldier, doesn’t it ever cross your mind that I’m too old for this? Thank goodness I’m still strong like a bull.

“What are you really planning to do? What is this all about? You said before that this is for the sake of the world? Is the Federation going to break the peace treaty?”

“First things first, I’ve been planning to put you guys to sleep. For the second question, it is for the sake of your beloved lives and for my benefits. For your third question, yes indeed, it is for the sake of the entire world. And for the last question, yes, the Federation is planning something. That’s why I’m doing this to make sure to lessen the damages they could make. I’m creating a powerful man that could decide the fate of the world.”

“Hmm, I don’t get it. So that’s one of your reasons for your brutal and endless training? And also, I heard you mention that we’re going to sleep. What do you mean by that?”

“Haha, project ICEMAN is for you guys to go to an eternal chamber where all of you are going to sleep for ten years. We’re going to keep you here until the ten-year non-aggression pact has ended. The purpose of this project is to preserve the mightiest soldiers of the United Nation.”

“Huh? Are you retarded? Am I too old for this one? Eternal sleep? Seriously, what kind of brain proposed that kind of project?”

“Oh come on little brother, don’t be rude. I’m the one who proposed the idea. Hehe.”

I knew it would be you, why did I even question it? Eh? Wait a minute, did he mention a ten-year non-aggression pact? So the peace treaty signed during the ceremony was just a pact? Thus, if the pact ended, all those veterans who were now old to fight will need to retire since they would be too old to fight in the war.

So this project is to preserve us to be able to train the new blood for the war. I didn’t expect how smart my big brother was. I never doubted him to use this kind of strategy. What a great idea he proposed to the United Nations!

Secret Chamber Floor 7

A few days later, I'm currently being transferred to the deepest floor of the underground - Floor 7. I’m the only one who is still awake and not yet been put to sleep by my big brother. I only wear my green patient clothes, no pants or any kind of underwear.

"Christian Luis Michael, 50 years old, height 6'0 with a weight of 151 pounds. Rank: Four-Star General and now promoted to commander-in-chief of United Nations. And yet still single with no girlfriend since birth. Well, this information is undeniably pitiful yet fantastic haha," my brother said with a thumbs up.

"Well you should add in my information that I'm your little brother too, Mr. Simon Luis Michael, 55 years old and married to a daughter of a Noble. Have one daughter named Mika and..."

"...Hep. Hep. Hep.. Hold it right there."

".....Huh?"

"Don't spread some secrets about me haha. I feel shy, my brother."

Eh? Is that so big bro? You just want me to shut up to maintain your singleness here to form some harem with your nurses.

"Hmm...Yup."

Did he read my mind? Creepy, I never knew that he had that kind of ability. I should be careful next time.

"Okay, little brother let's start now."

"Big Bro, don't call me that."

"...Huh? Why?"

"You make me so embarrassed. I know you're older than me, but I'm fifty years old now. Call me my name instead of that lame nickname."

"......Okay, General."

"Bro... Come on, just call me by my name."

"Okay Chris, is that alright now?"

"Yeah, I feel relieved that you finally said my name. I felt relaxed."

"Brother, I hate to say this, but I have a wife and a daughter. I love them both. I know we are close, but I don't want to form a brother complex with you."

"Shut up!"

"Haha come on, that was just a joke. Well, I'm never gonna talk to you like this again. This is our last moment and last bonding as brothers, you know that."

"Hmm... Yeah, big bro. I'm sorry about that. Well, let's get started."

"This is for the sake of humanity. With this kind of trick, we can conserve some good soldiers for the next war."

"Yeah."

After my brother injected some drugs in my shoulders, he then gave me his black bible and my journal book covered by plastic.

"What? Why are you giving this to me? I thought only our bodies should be inside the container."

"Well, I gave everyone something like that, so just take it with you."

"Okay. But big bro, thanks for this."

"Well, I just wanted to give some gifts to my little brother before he goes to eternal sleep."

He embraced me quite hard and I knew he was sad. But he doesn't show it, instead, he gave me a big smile in his face.

"Don't get too old when I wake up, huh?"

"Are you kidding me? I'll never age, little brother...I mean Chris."

"Haha okay, big bro."

"Well, you may lie down now and prepare to say goodbye to each other."

When he closed the container, I feel dizzy and slowly closed my eyes. There is something my brother said before I fell asleep, but I couldn’t hear it. Thus, I just read his words by his lips.

"I’m sorry little brother, I hope you’ll forgive me for this one. I’ll promise to wake you up. I swear on our dead parents’ graves.”

"Okay big bro, I’ll be….waiting…."

My tube container cover is slowly pulling down and closed silently.
