Chapter 57: Poisonous gas
A thick, murky gas erupted from the ceiling vents, quickly spreading and clouding the entire space in seconds. It was dense, grayish-green, and carried a strange chemical sting. Everyone froze, unsure whether to run, fight, or hold their breath.
Ronan’s eyes widened. That sharp ping in his head wasn’t just another warning—it was a direct alert.
Poisonous gas identified, healing ability activated.
He stiffened and immediately shouted to warm the rest, "The gas is poisonous, don’t inhale! Cover your nose, now!"
Panic rippled across the team. Hands flew up to cover mouths and noses. Some scrambled for masks or cloth, while some who didn’t seem to believe or where having a hard time understanding what Ronan just blurted remained standing, frozen in disbelief.

The people who covered in time thought they were safe, but then, one by one...they began to drop.
Tyce was the first to stumble. His legs buckled as his eyes rolled back. Jalen collapsed next, followed by Roan and then Colt. No sounds. Just bodies hitting the floor like lifeless mannequins. It was so sudden, it felt like their brains couldn’t even get the chance to figure out what the hell was going on.
Ronan staggered back, heart racing. "No...what the hell is this?!" They had covered their nose just in time to prevent them from inhaling it right? So what in the world was going on?
Another ping from his system, The answer came fast....
