Chapter 50: CH 050: Intermediate beast (MR 4)
In the small, sterile room where Dave and the others were locked, a sharp, red beeping sound suddenly pierced the silence. The alarm echoed through the cold, concrete walls, its shrill tone signaling imminent danger.
Moments later, a robotic voice crackled through the intercom, filling the room with an official, calm but urgent announcement. "Attention all personnel. We are being attacked by beasts. All hybrids, report to the front exit immediately. Defend the building."
The beeping continued, and the man stationed outside the room, one of the guards turned on his heel and rushed off, clearly following the order to assist in the defense.
Meanwhile inside the room, Eric and Ella had exchanged confused glances, their brows furrowed with concern. "What’s going on?" Ella asked quietly, her voice tinged with unease.
Eric looked just as perplexed, trying to make sense of the sudden chaos. But Dave, ever composed, didn’t seem at all surprised. He had already guessed what was happening.
The lab was under attack.
The second wave of beasts, the ones meant specifically for him, had arrived. The hybrids had been dispatched, and their job was to protect the lab from the overwhelming force of the beasts. But Dave couldn’t help but wonder how he would have faired if he was to face the onslought of the beasts.
He considered the possibility that he might be facing not just a handful of the creatures, but all of them. His mind flashed back to the first attack, the overwhelming number of beasts, too many for him to handle on his own.
He had barely made it through, and if the lab couldn’t hold its ground against this wave, he feared the consequences would be worse. But he wasn’t bothered by it, as long as they were able to escape from the lab, it doesn’t matter what happens.
