Chapter 59: Welcome to hell



Hearing the voice, the two nearly fell to the floor in fear but thankfully, they were a bit familiar with the voice.

Turning to the source of the voice, they found themselves looking at a young woman who looked to be around the ages of 25 or 29.

The lady wore a set of cargo pants and combat boots coupled with a tank top that easily made her look like someone from the military or something.

Seeing her, a sense of fear and uncanniness arose within them. They feared that they may have been cheated into joining the army... well they did know what they were here for but it wasn't for the army.

At the same time too, they also felt as though the lady shouldnt exist. They could easily tell that she was real but for some reason they also felt that she shouldnt be as though she was some sort of abomination.

"Good day madam"

"Welcome, i thought more of you will come, what happened?"

"Oh ma, there are still in the bus, they just sent us so we can check the place out first" one of them said

"I see then inform them to start coming, the quicker i can start the orientation, the quicker your life here can begin" the lady said as she turned back and started walking into the massive building before them.

They couldn't lie to themselves, they had never seen a building this big with such a design. Even for laymen such as themselves, they could easily tell that the building was made for protection.

This place was a fortress and nothing else. However they didn't care about what it implied since they knew that it was their source of money for now.

After that, the two immediately called their friends, notifying them that it was safe. To help them quickly find the location, they left the building to guide them.

A few minutes later, two large buses could be seen parked before the building. Out of them came men, women and children. However the majority were the women and the children.

"Welcome to all of you, You all can call me Nous from now on, i am in charge of this facility. First, please can the men come this way and the women this way" The lady said as she separated the people

Hearing her and helping others to translate, the people quickly separated into two groups. One side noticeably larger than the other.

"Okay then, you all will enter the building before you, the men are to follow the right and the women, the left, they will lead you to a hall where you will be addressed so you can all understand the risks and benefits of what you are about to do" Nous announced

Even if her omniscience wasn't there, there was still something that she had learnt or at least heard David repeat on multiple occasions and that was, that Nigerians... or at least most Nigerians dont care what they do as long as it brings them money.

Now the goal of the Compound was to train soldiers, a paramilitary. An organization whose duty was to perform covert operations for either the government or big organizations.

The problem here was that they would carry guns, they would kill and if caught whoever was your employer would have to deny you and you cant do anything about it. In most cases even the organization you work for aka the paramilitary group will deny you.

Nous could easily tell that while they had thought it through in terms of that they could die during this mission. She could also tell that they didn't think about the fates much worse than death.

As for the females and the children, they were either family members or simply ones that wanted to join the paramilitary group as well or just those seeking shelter from the streets.

Obeying her, they all marched into their respective halls. Both halls were incredibly big and for the men who were few in number, it made them feel like school children for some reason.

Since they were told that they would soon be addressed, they approached the front of the hall and waited.

Meanwhile in the other section, the women entered the halls as the ones with children respectfully stayed at the back while the others moved tot he front to hear whatever that was to be said.

A few minutes later, they were all settled down as Nous walked on stage. Appearing two places at ones was easy for her considering her nature and the fact that every inch of the base was covered in holographic projectors.

"First off, for those who do not fully understand what they are doing here, I would like to explain... This is a training camp, you all will be trained on how to use various weapons, how to fight, how to kill... You are now part of the Compound, this is a paramilitary unit and our duty is to work for whoever is willing to pay... In simple terms, you are paid to kill" Nous said as plainly as she could even if that didn't define what they were well.

However considering that some of the men in the room were not literate, this was the best she could do for now. If there was anything, she knew they could at least understand killing for money.

"Madam, I thought they said we would be working for the government"

"Yes but no, like I said this is a paramilitary unit, our clients will include the government at some point but it may majorly be big corporations" Nous explained

"Okay since it seems that all you understand what I said, it's time for the next step... Please look to your left, you will see a door, please enter the door one after the other for your health tests... Don't worry, we have already promised to fix those with disabilities and we will but we need to know what we are dealing with" Nous said while pointing towards a door to her right
