Grey Pivot

Five years ago, on an overseas mission, a four-man reconnaissance team stumbled into a smuggling route. Three never returned. Lin Yan crawled out gravely wounded, carrying only a fragment of an unfamiliar communicator. Conclusion: intelligence misjudgment. Five years later, he is assigned to an overseas security squad, "Peregrine." No nationality, no retreat, no tomorrow. The opponents they chase are backed by hidden masters; every battle they fight is someone else's business; they think they are on a mission, but they are merely blades in a vast machine. From apartment building rescues to evacuations from fallen cities, from offshore banks to underground prisons, from snowfield pursuits to overseas underground data centers, Lin Yan peels back five layers of conspiracy: enemies are cultivated, conflicts are business, the squad is expendable, and even exposing the truth is a scripted play. And he is the only BUG that wasn't completely erased in the purge operation back then. They calculated how heroes, traitors, and dangerous elements would choose, but they never expected someone who wants nothing. No system, no cheat, no overpowered protagonist. A survivor deemed "deletable" by a vast machine, leading a squad destined for total sacrifice, uses one unprofitable choice after another to make that machine—which puts a price on human lives—blue-screen in front of the whole world. War has no black and white, only a grey line. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Grey Pivot — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
