Because monsters never build small graves.
Suddenly—
a loud metallic boom echoes somewhere below us.
The entire floor vibrates.
Dust rains lightly from the ceiling pipes.
Everyone raises weapons instantly.
“What the hell was that?” Mason snaps.
Gabriel checks the terminal.
His face drains of color.
“No…”
Russ steps beside him.
“What?”
Gabriel looks up slowly.
“He’s moving them.”
Cold spreads through me instantly.
“The children?”
Gabriel shakes his head.
“Everyone.”
He points toward the lower facility map,now flashing red.
Multiple underground sectors.
Research labs.
Dormitories.
Medical wings.
Transport tunnels.
And dozens—
dozens—
of moving biometric signatures descending deeper underground.
Wu’s evacuating Ascension.
Lucas swears viciously.
