Chapter 127 - 123. Foreboding Darkness
How could this be?
Zein gritted his teeth. He couldn’t see his surrounding, which reminded him of every mission he went through in the Deathzone. But while he couldn’t see, he could feel. His skin, his nerves, his cell remembered the sensation.
This thick miasma that felt so heavy on the skin, the shortness of breath it caused, the crawling eerieness upon his spine...
There was no mistaking it; the sensation was that of the Deathzone.
But...how?
"Captain?" Brisk asked again, shaking his arm, and Zein snapped from his shock.
He blinked slowly and took a deep breath, calming his mind. Right, he could think later. Immediately, he swipe the storage ring and brought out the dark-vision goggles.
"T-the flashlight can’t..." there was a frantic clicking sound from Zein’s left side, where Dean was.
Equipping his goggles, Zein informed the two guides. "You wouldn’t be able to. Artificial light can’t penetrate dense miasma," pressing the button on the side of the goggles, Zein could finally see his surrounding. "Wear your goggles."
After instructing the guides, Zein observed the squad members. They were all as surprised as Zein, looking at their surrounding with bewildered gazes. But soon, Ashur regained his senses and gave out instructions.
"School circle on the guides!"
