Nick used the last year of his free time to refill the stocks of the underground city.
He captured over a thousand Specters and retrieved several tons of Zephyx.
It wasn't certain when he would get the time to help the underground civilization again.
Finally, after everything was done, Nick returned to the world.
The first thing he did was to check the beams.
Had anything changed?
Well, there were far fewer beams than before.
In fact, they had probably dropped by nearly 80%.
The reason was that 50 years had passed.
Almost every normal person who knew about him had died.
Only Extractors and Specters were left.
The number of beams had become quite easy to keep track of.
There were not more than 300.
When it came to the colors, basically nothing had changed.
After checking through the beams, Nick went back to Aegis' headquarters.
While 50 years was a long time for normal people, it wasn't that much for Protectors and Shields.
