Chapter 310: Jade Nursery
[Some Moments Ago.]
[Bunker.]
After walking through the eerie, suffocating passage where the air grew thick with a metallic tang, the group finally reached the bunker. It was meant to be an impenetrable fortress, a masterpiece of modern survival engineering.
They stood frozen, staring at the heavy metal door, which was torn opened as if it were made of cheap tin. The massive hinges were completely warped, sheared off by a force that defied earthly physics.
Mirabella stepped forward, her blue eyes staring at the massive, deep claw marks on it, and exhaled:
"It seems the monster destroyed the door." She said, and followed the gap, entering inside.
Grace and Carl followed behind her, both entering the gateway with their weapons drawn and senses heightened. They moved their gazes on the dried, dark blood stains all over the place, their faces paled as the sheer brutality of the scene painted a picture of absolute slaughter. The impregnable safe room had been turned into a butcher’s block.
Mirabella picked up a crushed picture frame on the ground, wiping away a layer of ash and staring at the four smiling people on it.
"Are these your parents?" She asked, passing the picture to Grace. "Is that Blondie your sister?"
Grace slowly nodded her head, her hands trembling as her thumb traced the glass over the faces she had lost. "Yes, my family." Grace Answered, as tears rolled down her cheeks, dropping onto the cracked glass.
Mirabella nodded, processing the details but remaining anchored to the reality. She turned to the side, staring at the back wall with a deep frown. Her perception caught a dissonance in the spatial density.
"Something doesn’t feel right." She moved towards the wall, feeling the unnatural hum vibrating through the steel, and placed her palm on it.
