The thick metal door slowly retracted.
Revealing what lay beyond.
Shattered bone armor, incomplete corpses.
Standing behind the security door of the negative sixth floor stairwell, Zadi watched the changes in the corridor through the monitoring tablet in his hand.
As soon as the metal door was opened, he verified his identity, and immediately retreated to hide behind the security door.
The screen on the tablet was silent; no one came out from the vault, and no sound emanated from within.
It was as if the vault was empty, devoid of anything.
Gone?
A sliver of doubt rose in Zadi's heart.
The metal door, sensing no people, began to close automatically.
Once the door was fully closed, Zadi glanced at the two mercenaries following him and said softly, "Follow me."
He had specifically chosen these two subordinates, each armed with a C-VII Strengthening Potion, embedded in their special combat suits, ready for immediate injection in case of danger.
