The piercing alarm echoed throughout the entire Research Institute as one after another, doctors in surgical attire began hurrying towards the first floor.
Teams of fully armed mercenaries were advancing orderly towards the underground.
A black jeep approached from the distance and, in the moment it was about to reach the entrance of the Research Institute, the vehicle swerved suddenly, slamming on the brakes, and the pitch-black tires screeched against the ground.
A dense cloud of dust spread over the stairs in front of the entrance of the Research Institute.
A man dressed in a mercenary uniform jumped down from the vehicle.
Following closely, a fully armed mercenary came to meet him.
"What happened?"
This man was none other than Zadi, an officer among the mercenaries. He had just departed from the Research Institute when the alarm called him back.
"Enemy attack. The alarm was triggered by Lord Reid, but we can't get in touch with him now," the mercenary replied quickly.
