Prayed

A few days had gone by since the post was made in the Darknet. 

The room where Shi Tian, Mary, and Vanessa were stationed had become something of a command center. Computer screens flickered with data, charts, and information.

During the past few days, Shi Tian, Mary, and Vanessa were utilizing the drone to scan the dense area. The low hum of the drone's engines filled the room as its camera transmitted images of the dark and mysterious dense area.

And just like the two of them had said, Shi Tian saw numerous evolved versions of the mutated monsters, each one more deadly than the other. 

The screen displayed grotesque creatures, their forms twisted and grotesque, with limbs and appendages that seemed to defy all logic. They moved in herds, like a nightmarish symphony of chaos.
