Hans said, “This was the thing that originated here. We’re simply occupying this place. After they left, I came here with Marie’s body… Something escaped from here and caused a catastrophe.”
Hans pointed to the black blood stains and the claw marks on the reinforced metal on the side.
Philip looked around, but there was nothing here except some broken bones and pieces of equipment.
“Are there other places?” Philip asked.
“Yes.” Hans continued to lead the way.
They walked to another door and down a staircase, which was bottomless as if the bottom had been hollowed out.
Soon, the vampire brought Philip to other places and said, “This place was used to store chemicals. Not long after we arrived, we heard that someone came and took everything away overnight.”
The three of them came to the dormitory area on the first floor. Some daily necessities were scattered around, and it seemed that there was an emergency evacuation.
Philip found a diary on a table and flipped through it.
[April 12th: That thing was quite obedient, and the experiment went smoothly.]
[April 17th: That thing seemed a little aggressive. We quickly lowered the dose.]
[April 18th: It looked much better than yesterday, but the top decided to continue to increase the dosage.]
[April 30th: I think we’re going to die here. This thing isn’t something humans can deal with.]
[May 2nd: We tried to calm it down but failed.]
The record ended there. There were various indications that this thing was likely an experimental creature of a battle group.
There was no trace of Jack and Jess’ parents, but judging from the timeline, they were likely sent here as the evacuation team.
Philip turned to Hans and said, “Are you sure you haven’t seen those movers?”
Hans was a little flustered and quickly said, “I did, but I wasn’t in good condition at the time, so I hid in a corner and just peeked at them.”
