Two days passed after Mikhail successfully escaped the underground base of Memento Mori. He ditched his pick-up truck in a random parking lot, while he rode the train to transfer to F-City where an acquaintance of his resided.
He knew that the organization would start a nationwide manhunt for him, so he decided to lie-low for the time being.
Mikhail's acquaintance was a shady character that was a part of the underworld. He had many professions and, among them, was an expert locksmith. Of course, Mikhail had to pay a hefty sum before his acquaintance agreed to unlock the safe for him.
After retrieving the blood packs, and the research materials, he immediately took another train ride and headed towards the town of Viviers.
This was a town that had a population of less than ten-thousand people. Mikhail chose to have a laboratory here because he preferred to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city, so that he could focus more on his research.
