Creak, creak—
Fear spread along with the darkness, and the depths of the corridor echoed with the grating, sharp sounds of metal scraping.
In the dim green view of the activated night vision goggles, the "cells" reinforced with alloy steel were opening one by one, releasing the "monsters" trapped inside.
But nobody could clearly see what was charging towards them in the darkness.
Whoosh!
A trailing light bullet fired by a soldier tore through the darkness.
In that moment of light, shadowy figures came rushing towards them—a group of gaunt, sickly people burst out of the cells, some crawling along the walls.
No.
Those were not humans at all!
Their body temperature was extremely low, resembling lifeless evil spirits, and even with night vision goggles, they were hard to detect.
Under the gray skin, worm-like veins wriggled, some even showing bloody, rotting flesh, looking like skeletons with their flesh peeled off.
