Chapter 65: Movie
A few minutes passed in eerie quiet.
The earlier chaos and laughter had drained into a tense, motionless fog.
Nolan leaned back in his chair, legs kicked up on the control desk, head tilting to the side, clearly unbothered. He spun a pen between his fingers and let out a theatrical sigh.
"Boring," he murmured. "I thought they’d last longer... they still couldn’t find its weakness, what a bunch of boobs..."
Then, like a volcano waking from slumber, the students erupted in frustration.
"Sir! This is the same game!" Ruvin’s voice boomed across the room, thick with disbelief and righteous indignation. "The exact same! The only difference is this particular infected creature, although different, was slow!"
"But it’s still unkillable like the previous one!" Selin added, arms flailing. "You just slowed down our deaths! What’s the point?!"
"It’s a scam," Erik muttered, jaw clenched. "You set us up again, didn’t you? Gave us hope and then boom, same ending!"
"You made it look easy!" Calien growled. "You knew exactly what would happen!"
Nolan raised a single brow as he listened to the overlapping complaints without even pretending to care.
"Task..." he sneered.
