Just when she was in deep thought, her phone suddenly rang. Ayana takes out the phone and the screen shows that it was her mother who called her.
"Yes, mother," Ayana answered the call.
"Dear, have you heard the news about your sister?" Haruka's distress voice was heard from the other side.
"What happened?" Ayana asked. Her body suddenly alerted her mother's voice.
"The team your sister went with was back. They appeared at the portal just five hours ago. I heard that beside a head researcher, all the researchers died there," Haruka's words made Ayana's body freeze for a moment.
"What?" Ayana asked with disbelief in her voice. She could hear her mother clearly, but she couldn't imagine this would happen.
"Is the head researcher the only one alive? What about the other soldiers from District 2?" Ayana asked, regaining her senses again.
