I put the key to my heart under your feet, if you want my heart kneel down

In a place, where darkness hangs over that dark city, it's darkness is interrupted only by radiant lamps with a fiery flame, in the hope that that darkness will dissipate. The atmosphere of the night is always silent, but the silence in this city is not an ordinary silence, it can be said that it is the calm before the storm. Terrifying silence beyond measure

A strong noise emanated from one of the neighborhoods, breaking that silence that faded for a few seconds, then came back again a second noise from another street, then a terrifying calm

He interrupted this mysterious atmosphere, the sound of footsteps, which only echoed in the place, a huge, terrifying, muscular body, wearing a huge coat that hides his terrifying build, and his hood completely conceals the features of his face, except for his lips that smile in a terrifying way that takes breath away...and perhaps souls !

He stood in his place rigidly, his smile still the same, looking at the place from which those noises were emanating, his terrifying smile expanded more and more, and he saw someone running towards him in a crazy way, it looked like he was drunk, but he was not like that, he kept running towards the mysterious man, who was still smiling sarcastically and bitterly

The one who was running quickly approached, so that his features were finally clear in relation to the mysterious person, and what a horror scene it was. It was a man, one of his eyes gouged out, his saliva dripping on his chin dirty, his clothes cut off, his foot completely torn off, his hand amputated, and he had a tail and a long nose exactly like the beak of a woodpecker

Before he reached the mysterious man, he bounced back, falling to the ground, and the hand of the other firmly encircled his neck. He looked into his eyes and the pain was clear in them, as if he was begging him to kill him. He looked at him with sadness that his rigid eyes did not show, before he broke his neck, and took his head off completely.

He jumped back. While he looked at more than seventy people in the same condition as the man, running towards him, his terrifying dead smile widened, and he remained standing in his place, and without warning three people jumped to them, at an abnormal speed and also abnormal shapes, next to him was a terrifying two-headed monster, and his dirty saliva covered the ground completely He kept standing looking at them with a cold smile, as they killed those monsters, in unimaginable ways, heinous, disgusting ways.

"We got them, sir."

A quiet female voice spoke, as she looked at the owner of the oversized coat

One of those people approached, put his hands in the air, flexing his muscles from the intensity of the fight,

"Finally we're done, it's been a long night."

"Their number is constantly increasing, for how long will we be silent?"

said the third person with great anger, as he gritted his teeth, looking at the corpses that filled the place

He looked at the corpses filling the place, muttering coldly,

"Clean it up!"

Then he moved towards the forest behind him, to disappear as he appeared, under cold, indifferent, and angry looks. He jumped with great force to reach the top of the tree he was standing at, looking at the moon in the middle of the sky, the farthest veil.

He pulled the head cover away from his face, so that his face would finally appear, an ordinary, handsome man in a crazy way, but what is terrifying about him is his completely black eyes, which do not contain any whiteness, only blackness.

He turned his gaze away from the radiant moon, took out a picture from his pocket, to look at it with sadness that dominated the features of his face, he ran his finger over the picture, to hold his hand with great force and malice, he looked forward in a terrifying way, to look like a devil who had just come out of hell, with his terrifying black eyes

.

.

.

.

On the other side of the globe, where the middle of the day is, he stood looking at her with an eyebrow knot, holding his hand to his chest, his breath racing, madly angry.... The cursed one ignores him, and he knows this well, he only wants her to utter one word, until he explodes in her face, and they withdraw her From her hair locked her there, in that empty room, exactly like her mind

He took a deep breath, before looking at her with hatred and muttering sharply

"Lena Haxon, you're not going out that door, so don't bother."

She stopped taking a deep breath, before turning to him with her entire body, leaving what was in her hand on the bed, speaking in a steady voice, not one of her qualities at all

"John Haxon, you know that you will not stop me, and I'm going ."

"Over my dead body, do you hear over my dead body, those bastards only want to exploit you, and I will not allow you to throw yourself to your death"

he shouted angrily, as he pushed that vase, which was next to him, to turn into crumbs on the ceramic floor, she looked at the vase and then at him, before she sighed and looked at him sadly,

"You know it's no use what you're doing, John, and you know I'll go in the end."

He looked at her with crushing anger, what would he do so that she would listen to him damn it,

"You're not going to get out of here?"

He added stubbornly, looking into her eyes, a steady look as confident as hers

"John, it's only three months for goddess sake "

she cried angrily, as she threw the clothes on the bed, looking at him with blind anger, she had begun to lose control. They have been in this state for a week, and tomorrow is the date of the trip, and he is still not convinced yet.

"I don't care what the fuck, you're never going out that door, do you understand?"

He shouted at her, and the veins in his neck appeared, and his face turned red, evidence of the amount of anger he was holding.

She gritted her teeth, pushing his chest angrily, and her eyes sparkled with tears of sadness

"It's my job, there are people who need me, you won't stop me."

"I'll stop you, I'll put you on a bed if I have to, I won't save other people And in return, I lose you "

he growled at her, about to lose the last bit of control he had.

She literally grinded her teeth, to push his chest away from her, shouting unconsciously, as she moved her hands in the air in an angry manner

"You are just a despicable selfish person. You know how much I love my job, and yet you prevent me from it. "

She continues softly and tears begin to flow

" I wish Mom and Dad were still here. "

He retreated back, not because of her push, but from her words, he pulled his hand hard, and looked at her, losing the last shreds of his sanity as well, shouting at her to the point that the corners of the house shook,

“Yes, I am a despicable selfish person, when it comes to you, and damn you are the last person I have left in this Fucking life, I'm not ready for losing you either."

She paid attention to herself, to curse herself thousands of times, how dare she say this to him, he gave his life for her sake, she looked at him how he restores his hair angrily, and he puts his other hand on his mouth, he always does this when he gets angry, she closed her eyes, trying to calm her nerves, before approaching him, and put her palm on his shoulder, he looked at her angrily, and he pushed her hand away from him violently, and looked away. She sighed while holding his hand, pulling him to the bed.

"Brother, please listen to me, I need to go,"

she said while squeezing his palm, which intensified as he looked away, not interested in what she said, to continue sadly, so that he would listen to her,

"John, the lives of thousands of people depend on us, brother, believe me, if we succeed in formulating an effective medicine, We can completely eradicate the so-called cancer, please brother."

He looked at her sadly, knowing that her goal was noble, and knowing that she was striving to eradicate the disease that had destroyed their lives and their family, but how could he tell her, that that was the same place in which he lost his brother his twin, how could he send her to the same hell again, only she, his princess, his beloved daughter, is all that he owns in this life. He shook his head and tears gathered in his eyes,

"No, I cannot."

She looked at him sadly, she could not bear his grief, but this is her chance, her ideas and research on viruses are very important, she is a genius in this world, if she develops her idea, she may succeed, she may be able to save thousands of people, but she does not want to do this without him

as long as he is with her, he encouraged her be by her side, she does not want his sorrows, she does not want success over his grief and pain, she accepts everything, but when it comes to him, she cannot overcome it, and she can never pretend to be indifferent.

She tried for the last time

"Please John, I promise it will be the last time"

He looked at her hesitantly, and she continued encouraging him

"I swear to you, I will go only this time. I promise you that when I return, I will open a private clinic, and I will never leave Britain."

He turned his eyes away looking at the ground absent-mindedly. He had been trying to stop her for a week, and he could not convince her. He knows that he is important to her, just as she is to him. Once it will not harm, and then he will enjoy being close to her forever.

" You will call me every day, and tell me everything, and if something bad happens. come back immediately, you are not a super hero, you are not responsible for saving others, my words are clear, and it will be the last time you travel, you promised me "

She sighed in relief, before giving the biggest smile in the world

"I promise, Johnny."

He looked at her sadly, as he hugged her to him

"I don't know how I will be patient for three full months. Damn it, if only Smith was here. I swear I would have accompanied you myself, until you finish this damned mission."

She smiled at him, shaking her head

"No need, believe me, it will be normal, just a few researches on the cancer virus, and we will come back quickly, maybe we will finish it before the originally scheduled time. Look on the bright side, man, you will get rid of me for three whole months."

He smiled sadly and caressed her cheeks,

"I'm not selfish Lena, I'm just afraid of losing you, you're all I have left."

She looked at him with sadness, deep remorse, and a tortured conscience,

"I didn't mean Johnny. You know that I love you. You are not only my brother. You are my father, my mother, my brother, my friend. My love. You are everything, John. I am nothing without you, brother."

He smiled lovingly and held her tightly to his chest, afraid. He is only afraid of this mission. His heart warns him that there is something that will overturn their entire quiet world, their world that he fought to create for them all this time.

He told himself that it is only three months, and then it will end forever, and nothing will ever separate them.... He looked at her caressing her hair, wandering in the void in front of him, it is true that he is doing his best for her sake, but he knows that he will never replace her parents, that is okay, this is fate After all

.

.

.

"Would you change your mind and come home with me?"

John said it as a last attempt, as he extended the passport to her. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow, and she held her hand to her chest, and she exhaled with hasty breaths.

He giggled lightly, before saying childishly

"What, I should have tried, maybe you've changed your mind?"

She shook her head, as she approached kissing his cheek, and hugging him to her chest firmly

"I'm really going to miss you, Johnny."

He hugged her back so strongly, that he almost broke her bones, and he said,

"Come back to me quickly, I love you ."

She smiled sadly, and her eyes were clouded with a layer of tears. She made him approach her, kissing her forehead with brotherly love,

"Do not cry, my princess, or I will prevent you from the trip."

She laughed a laughing faintly, while looking at him

"I'll be back quickly, I promise you."

"The last call of Flight 234, please dear passengers, head to the plane, thank you"

the voice of the flight attendant resounded on the loudspeaker at the airport, looking at her with a smile

"Why don't they just pronounce the name of the city? This trip is strange with all its details to us,"

he said in a faint voice, remembering how she got the ticket, the amazing amount of money, and also those privileges, to complete her studies in the most famous universities in the world, because she's still just a medical student, well she Smart and he admits it, and the reason for her brilliance in the field of viruses is due to their big brother, his twin Arthur, who was obsessed with the world of viruses and their development, for the benefit of man .... Of course,

It's something impossible, because a virus is a virus, but this does not mean that she gets all this in Only two months , since she published her research, which talks about a new type of virus, which is capable of changing human genes and DNA.

He looked at her again, hugging her to his chest, repeating

"I will wait for you. Don't be late. I love you, my princess."

She shook her head, to hug him back for the last time, before carrying her bags, and heading towards the plane, which was about to take off.

Her eyebrows furrowed, and she exclaimed

"I will not ride with the rest of the passengers."

He shook his head in denial, and his smile was still somewhat frightening

"No, miss, the mission scientists have a private plane, from here, please."

She shook her head with understanding, and she was amazed at this luxury and richness inside plane. She pointed to John, who was looking at her with concern, meaning that everything was fine.

She smiled softly at the employee, repeating with a shy smile

"Thank you, sorry for troubling you, sir."

He murmured to her, and he replied with his smile, which he obviously gives to everyone

" No need, miss, this is my job, please."

She shook her head to board the huge plane, in the middle of which was the logo of the organization that sent her the grant and demanded her. She took hesitant steps inside the plane, her eyes widening at what she saw.

This is the least that came to her mind. It was a very luxurious private plane, with seats in the shape of White round sofas, she looked around the place, to find three men, one of whom was sitting on the sofa by the window, holding a book and reading it in unison.

He was a young man in his thirties, who seemed to have serious features and sobriety. He had black hair and olive eyes. He combs his hair in a youthful way, which increases his prestige and dignity

The second man was a man of about mid-thirties, with curly chestnut hair, reaching half his neck, with malicious gray eyes. He looked at her playfully, as he stirred his vodka glass, so as not to lie down

She ignored him and looked at the last person, who also appeared to be in his thirties, working on his computer. He looked at her, widening his eyes, before turning his gaze away from her, after giving her a carefree, troubled smile.

"I didn't know flight attendants were so sexy , how much do you want for a night?!"

said the curly-haired man.

She looked at him from above and then down, before sighing in boredom, as she moved towards one of the empty sofas, repeating in a frozen and cold tone

"Do you know, only animal rights prevent me from responding to you?"

The first man stopped reading, and looked at her in shock, while the curly one looked at her with great astonishment.

The first man looked at her examiningly, before raising his eyebrow

"Who are you??"

She looked at him appraisingly, before saying coldly, It is clear that dealing with them will not be easy, but it is okay, how much she loves to discipline the likes of them

“Someone better than you, but to satisfy your curiosity, one of the members of the mission.”

They looked at her in shock, so the first man said angrily, while he was glancing at her with disgust

"This is what was lacking, for children to interfere with the work of adults."

"I agree with you mister, I don't know how they give people's lives to elementary school kids"

she replied coldly, taking one of the magazines from the table, to read it quite coldly

"Fierce is my type,"

said the one with the curly hair, looking at her rudely.

The smile of the third man widened, before he blushed, and said with a wonderful smile

“Welcome, miss. I am Michael, an expert in human physics, and interested in the role of the physical nucleus in the human body.”

She shook her head with a calm smile, made him look at her for a few seconds, before shaking his head, and pointing to the owner of the curly hair

"This is George, a neurosurgeon, and one of the most important researchers in physical medicine "

He pointed to the walrus man, as Lina called him

" And this is Carl, a professor of physiology nucleic acids of living organisms "

She looked at them closely, she's in the presence of senior medical men, but she was no less than them either, despite her young age.

She smiled coldly and raised her hand towards Michael, as if she did not care to introduce herself to the two scoundrels

"Lena Huxon, a medical student"

They looked at her in shock, then at each other, then at her again, as Carl said,

"A student."

She raised her head arrogantly and proudly, before moving to a secluded place from them

"The rest does not matter to you."

The other one clenched his teeth angrily, giving him a side smile. Damn, this trip will really be the coolest, how she loves to provoke scoundrels like them

A few minutes later, a man in his late thirties entered, dressed in a military uniform, holding his huge weapon, looking at them carefully, before smiling sideways

"Welcome, gentlemen. My name is Zack, and I will be the officer responsible for bringing you to the laboratory."

The four narrowed their eyebrows, and looked at each other nervously, it was not hidden from the person standing in front of them who was smiling sideways, before Carl exclaimed with exclamation

"Is this the number?"

The other smiled, before looking at him sarcastically

"Yes, that's the number, only four people, I hope you don't mind."

They murmured to him with astonishment, and he looked at them with silently, what is this? They said that the medical mission was supposed to number twenty or ten at least, but four, it is really strange

"No questions, good , each of you to take your place."

Zach spoke frozenly, before he cut off any attempt to ask, and moved to the side of the captain, after one of the soldiers closed the door of the plane, which John was watching from the runway with sadness and pain

He took his place, and fastened the belts before the plane took off, independent of the air, away from their beloved city, which they do not know whether they will be back or not?

I am good at giving up the things I love, if it appears on the horizon that they abandon me!

"Sir, they boarded the plane,"

a man with a long black coat spoke, looking at the plane that moved into the arms of the sky flying

The one on the other side smiled sarcastically

"Good Aiden, your job is done. Now go back to town."

"Yes, sir,"

answered the owner of the coat from the phone, so that the other one hung up the phone, looking in front of him absent-mindedly, with a dead smile on his lips.

While the other turned to go, and without warning his eyes fell on John, who was looking at the plane with sadness and pain, the man's eyes widened in shock, before he mumbled in amazement,

"This is impossible!"

.

.

.

.

.

"They won't stop, they still bring up their goddamn scientists"

The one sitting in front of him spoke with great anger, as he punched the wall, on which his fist was drawn, without causing harm to his hand.

He looked at him to smile sarcastically, then looked forward maliciously

"Don't worry, they will not reach the base, we will kill them on the way."

Another man who was sitting in a dark corner smiled, looking at them slyly

"Really how's that ?"

"We will wait for them at the fifty-seventh road, they will pass by it with certainty, they will not risk passing by the city, to avoid our traps, nor will they dare enter the forest, for fear of its monsters, so the only way before them is the fifty-seventh road, and we will be there waiting for them."

He spoke cunningly, and his black eyes grew darker and darker, so that the other smiled evilly and cracked his neck to the sides, with a movement he always does when he gets angry.

"A malicious plan, Boss,"

said the person sitting at an angle with malice and cunning while smiling, so that the other would return his malicious smile, before that body that was standing behind the desk quickly turned away to make a quick call.

The angry fist owner looked at him slyly, and his smile grew darker, making the other smile even stronger,

"I don't know why you did that, we will kill them in the end, whether they crossed the forest or the Seventy-fifth Road, why did you make them choose the forest?"

He shrugged his shoulders indifferently and very maliciously

"Change of routine."

He moved, carrying his black leather jacket, to get out of the office, behind him that man who smiled cunningly as he wished himself a bloody, terrifying battle, behind them who was sitting at an angle whistling a strange melody

"We won't take much, just me, you, Jack, and two guards."

He muttered coldly, as he climbed into one of the cars. He looked in front of him, while the other shook his head and put his hand on his ear, on the miniature device, making contact with those whom the commander asked for, who smiled sarcastically at that spy, who looked at them with half of his eyes. Happy that he has not been exposed yet, and the poor man does not know that he is just a pawn that he moves as he wants

.

“So Miss Lina, do you have a boyfriend?!”

George spoke, as he approached her, next to her on the sofa, on which she was sitting bored.

She looked at him with contempt and replied rudely

"You are really without dignity, Mr. Wilson."

He laughed hard, as he looked at her daringly and maliciously

“Come on little girl, don’t play hard to get.”

She looked at him out of the corner of her eyes, to sigh, he really wouldn't give up, unless his masculinity, his future and his life were destroyed,

"Mr. Wilson, I'm not one of your bitches, and I really refuse your closeness to me, so get away from me, and live with it, you idiot."

She got up, heading towards one of the tables, to take a bottle of juice, while George kept looking at her maliciously, while biting his lower lip maliciously and cunningly.

“Really, man, she is younger than you, almost the age of your daughter.”

Carl replied indignantly, looking at him with disgust . He turned to them, raising one of her eyebrows to respond sarcastically.

"For the first time you say something logical, you idiot. He's right, man. You're almost of my grandfather's age, and you're still trying to seduce me, sarcasm."

She spoke sarcastically and provocatively, looking at Karl, who ignored her and looked at his book, while George contorted his features and looked at her with hatred.

" I'm not that old, I'm still thirty-three years old, sweetheart."

She smiled provocatively, as she looked at him with disgust,

"If this is what you look like at the age of thirty, what it will be like at the age of seventy. I don't even want to imagine."

He looked at her indignantly, and turned his face away from her, so she smiled slyly, and went back to having her cold drink, while she smiled coldly. Michael smiled, and went back to work on his personal computer, muttering

"children."

George blinked at him,

"What are you working on since we left your city, you work there?"

"Surely something doesn't concern you Wilson , why don't you mind your own business and leave other people's business ?"

She spoke coldly, while looking at her glass, before raising her gaze at him, raising one of her eyebrows, he gave her an indignant look, and before he could answer, George replied,

"It's a research on the respiratory alveolus."

George murmured thoughtfully, while Carl and Lena looked away from them

After a twelve-hour flight, the plane finally stopped at an airport completely empty of any plane, except for their private plane.

Everyone got off, led by Zack Karl Michael Lena, then George, who puts his hand behind his head, and looks at Lena with his perverted looks, behind him are some guards.

One of the soldiers came forward to Zack, speaking in his ear with something, that made his features darken with anger, he muttered something that did not reach their ears, before he turned to his soldiers, saying :

"We will change the plan."

George raised his eyebrows, and looked at the four who were looking at the soldiers with incomprehension, and then some of them to say to Carl

"Excuse me, what's going on, general?"

Zach looked at him vaguely, before he said frozenly, as he moved his gaze between all the team members

"There is a group of bandits, they are on the main road that we will pass through, so we will change our way and pass through the forest."

Lina looked at the empty airport, except for army soldiers, and not any ordinary soldiers, but rather that their number exceeded fifty soldiers from the Special Forces, she wondered to herself, why are all these soldiers why are they here

Michael looked at him in wonder

" The forest, are you kidding me? An entire army is afraid of a few men of bandits."

"The orders given to us are limited to delivering you faithfully to the base. Mr. Jones and I follow the method that guarantees your safety, and the safety of all of us,

Zack replied coldly, as he looked at them.

"Well, I agree with you, Mr. Zach, but I don't think that the bandits are stupid, to the point of standing in the way of the army and blocking its way, and we are just a scientific expedition, I don't think it's that dangerous, I suggest that we follow our way, general, to arrive faster, as for the Jungle I don't agree with you, and if you don't accept, I'll fly home right away."

Lena spoke thoughtfully, looking at Zack who was obviously cursing at her under his breath.

"Sorry, Miss Haxon, but it's a matter of command. You can file a complaint as soon as we get to the base, but now it's my job to get you to the base safely, and your job is to obey my orders until we get there."

She looked at him with hatred, and turned her face away from him, to say with an order:

"We will ride the cars to the eastern border, then we will complete the road on foot, passing the Keegan Forest. We will try to pass it within three days. Get ready, we will set off in half an hour."

He gave them one of his mysterious looks, which he has been looking at since their meeting, to go with his assistant to one of the cars, spreading on it what appears to be a map.

Michael looked at each of the three who were with him, after they moved somewhat away from the soldiers.

"Am I the only one feeling strange here?"

"Something strange is going on here, why all these soldiers, aren't we on a scientific mission, we're going to do some research on cancer and we're leaving "

Lena said with astonishment, looking at her partners, who are sort of her friends now, they looked at her with concern, then at Zack who is still busy With his map and his assistant, George frowned nervously,

"Let's run away from them, I feel like we're in some kind of disaster."

Carl looked at him disapprovingly, before looking at them coldly, trying to be calm despite the charged atmosphere,

"For God's sake, guys, haven't you heard about this area, and about the crimes that occur in it? I think we are only exaggerating, then they are members of the army. I think the real danger is The danger that we will be in when we move away from them, then why all this tension, we will reach the base and see, if we do not like it, we will leave, because we are not obligated to anything, did you sign a work contract or a check with them, of course not, then there is no need for all this. "

“A reasonable point of view, are there any other suggestions?”

George spoke with conviction, as he passed his gaze between them, so that Michael and Carl both shook their heads in denial, looking at Lena who looked around, before she sighed and looked at him coldly,

“I don’t know, I feel like this is the last chance For us to retreat, I do not know how to explain the matter, but I think that if we entered with them to that unknown base, which he is talking about, I do not think that we will go out again, I prefer to go back . "

Carl looked at her coldly,

"No one ever forced you to come, child."

She looked at him coldly before turning her gaze to Zack, whose features were overwhelmed by anxiety and tension, despite his attempts to manage it.

"When that invitation was sent, no one told us that there were soldiers and bandits, then come on, are there soldiers who fear bandits, and in the twenty-second century, For the love of God, the matter is as clear as the sun, something is going on behind us, and they want to make us a part of it. "

"A convincing point of view."

George spoke while placing his hand under his jaw. Everyone looked at the ground absentmindedly, each thinking of a quick solution. Michael finally said,

"I suggest we follow them."

They looked at him in astonishment at his decision, so he said lightly while pointing his head at the soldiers,

"It is obvious that we have been led into something dangerous, and we are now part of it already. We have been involved in it since we boarded that damned plane. Even if one of us left the group and returned, they will send one of the soldiers to eliminate him I don't think they will let him live to tell what he saw here."

Lena looked at him in shock

"What the hell did we see?"

He pointed to the place with his eyes,

"A completely empty airport, still traffic outside the airport, the army deployed everywhere, for God's sake, even if the airport was reserved for us, isn't it obligatory to at least contain staff, but from what I see here, the soldiers doing everything by themselves, so I don't think leaving is a good idea, they won't let us leave just like that, even if we want to."

Lena looked at the place examiningly, worried eyes tense,

"Wow, we're stuck now."

Michael shook his head absentmindedly, as he studied the movement of the soldiers, Karl swallowed his saliva nervously, and looked at them anxiously,

"What a curse we have put ourselves into."

George smiled sarcastically, before sighed

"Well, there is no other way , we are going to follow the soldiers now, and when we reach the forest, we will try to find a way to escape from them."

Zak, who was putting his maps on the front of the car, looked at them with a mysterious look, especially Lena, who was looking around her with somewhat frightened looks. He smiled sideways, a smile you could barely see, before saying coldly,

"Let's go."

Everyone moved towards the cars, where Michael and Lina got into a four-wheel drive car, with two soldiers, one for driving and the other next to him, and another car in which George and Carl rode in the same way.

The convoy was led by Zak in a dark black car, of the type Mercedes, and as for the rest of the cars, it was a four-wheel drive car. They set off on a road, and the matter became more strange than its predecessor, for it was not only the airport that was empty of people, but even the city they were in, that there was not a single creature in it, as if it were empty.

Lena looked at Michael, who also looked at the place with shock and incomprehension. So the matter is bigger than they think, otherwise the city would not be like this

George looked around, as did the completely astonished Carl, swallowed his saliva, before whispering in a very low voice to George nervously and anxiously,

"George, are you sure we can escape?"

However, George was not paying attention to what his friend was saying, more than he was paying attention to all these guards of soldiers, who are leading them. It is as if they are heads of state, and not just scientists in the field of human and veterinary medicine.

He furrowed his eyebrows as he saw a group of cars parted from them, as it set off towards another road, on which was written Seventy-fifth Road. He looked at Karl, who looked back at him a worried look as well, looking at the two soldiers who had no features, so that the curly-haired man would repeat angrily to himself,

"Damn, we are in trouble."

After a good amount of driving, the convoy, which consisted of only seven cars, stopped, and everyone got off while adjusting their bags and weapons, so that Zach looked at them, repeating

"We will enter Keegan Forest now, I want you to stay with each other, and I do not want anyone to move away from the group,"

he indicated. To a group of soldiers

"You will walk behind so we don't lose anyone."

He looked towards another group, consisting of three individuals.

"You will come with me in the lead."

He looked at Lina, and his gaze was devoted to her alone without the rest, focusing his eyes on her

"Mr. Carl, then Mr. Michael, then Miss Lena and Mr. Wilson behind him."

Everyone looked at him coldly, and he smiled sideways and raised his voice,

"Let's go now."

She does not know why, but she turned back to where the road is, it seemed to her as if she had seen something, but she did not find anyone, her nerves were exhausted and this damned trip made it worse, she wanted to call John and tell him to come and get her now, because she was afraid of hell, despite the strength she had And steadily, she is very terrified of what is going on around her

this tight security and the empty city, the silent soldiers in an exaggerated way, and storming a forest for three days instead of the public road, which will reach them in a few hours. All these strange events exhaust her, and she just wants to go back to where she is. To Her brother, if she escapes from here, she swears that she will never refuse him an order

"Do you need help ??"

Michael replied as he approached her anxiously

She looked at him in astonishment, before shaking her head, repelling her straying

"Hah....um....no, I'm fine."

"They're tougher than we thought,"

he said worriedly, looking at her with worried eyes, before whispering anxiously

"You'll be fine."

His words seemed to be an affirmation and not just a question or consolation. She does not know why she sees deep pain in his eyes whenever he looks at her.

She sees that he has known her before. No, she has never seen him before. She also remembers all her days. It is impossible for him to have known her before this accursed journey. It's a strange journey with all its damning details

"Sir, they have fallen into our trap, they are passing through the woods now,"

said one of the guards, who was wearing a uniform, and he bowed respectfully to the one who stood on top of the mountain, looking at the landscape, which covered that area coldly, his dark eyes staring into the void in complete silence, with a malicious smile

"I'll take care of it myself, I'll kill them and come back,"

said a man with chestnut hair and bright brown eyes.

"It's okay, I don't have anything to do at all, let's go"

he muttered coldly before putting his black jacket on his back, moving towards their target........the scientists!!!

The chestnut-haired man looked at the other person, who was sitting on a giant tree behind them.

"Are you going too?"

“Unfortunate for you,”

he replied provocatively and coldly, making the other gnash his teeth, and look at him angrily,

“I will kill more than you this time, and you will see.”

"As you wish, just let's go, and end this damned day,"

he said coldly, as he moved behind their leader, who had advanced ahead of them a while ago.

The brown-haired man smiled slyly, as he followed them, he quickly ran after the other two who entered the forest before him, to make a distinctive whistle, making the ground shake, and the trees move, each of them smiled sideways, as they felt the ground shake under their feet, before something terrible, very terrible stood up in front of them

She looked around the forest, to sigh tiredly, before shifting her gaze to the members of the group, who were also exhausted by fatigue. She exhaled, adjusting her bag on her back with gloomy features. They've been going for two days. They only took a few hours to sleep

"It seems that the ferocious cat is tired "

said George maliciously, as he passed it towards the rest. She turned her eyes bored, and looked at him out of the corner of her eye, repeating

"Then you'd better avoid this cat now, Mr. Wilson."

He laughed hard, looking at her with pleasure at her miserable condition, sighing lightly

"Do you want me to carry your bag?"

She looked at him out of the corner of her eyes, as she opened a bottle of water

"And then owe you, no thanks."

She poured some water down her throat, he turned his gaze away from her, looking around, before he declared cautiously

“Why do you think they forced us to cross the forest, despite the existence of a city?”

"Perhaps so that no one will see us, and allow them to kill us as they want "

Michael spoke sarcastically, looking around them with an examination.

"Stop it, there's something going on around us, I'm sure"

muttered Carl, looking at the soldiers, who were looking around with exaggerated caution.

She looked around with wide eyes, before looking at the three men

"Do you really think it's related to cancer research?"

The three looked at her with mysterious looks, before turning their eyes away towards the soldiers who surrounded them. Carl opened his mouth to respond, but he was silent, as he looked at Zack, Who approached them with his stern, harsh features

"The break is over, let's continue our walk, we will arrive in one day, if we move now."

George looked at Lena, who was staring at the emptiness absentmindedly, and her heart shrink from what was going on around her. It became clear that the matter for which they had summoned them was not as they were told. The convoy moved in the same order, Lena completed her straying, while avoiding the leaves of the plants.

Logically, what would a great chemist like Michael, and a reactive cell doctor like Carl do in a cancer lab? For God's sake, she looked at George, who just said he was a successful neurologist. What does this have to do with cancer cells? Then her , yes, she admits that she is interested in cancer. And she presented good research in this field, but not to the extent that it would be requested from a large and secret laboratory like this

and then there are these strange procedures, the empty airport, the empty city, tight security, avoiding civilization of all kinds, guards warning at every step, and their secrecy around the place, All these things call for suspicion, she swallowed her saliva while bending down a branch, before shooting it in the face of George, who was behind her to hit his face directly, he cursed loudly, and looked at her with hatred

"Damn you !"

She turned to him, suppressing her smile, and really this time she didn't mean it, she was distracted, add to her that she's in a strange situation, there's no time for her madness now,

"Sorry George, I really didn't mean..."

She remained silent as she looked behind the convoy, which made George, who was looking at her with hatred and rage, shift his gaze to where she was looking worriedly

"What is there?"

She looked away from the place, looking at him with an eyebrow knot

"I think I saw something passed from there??"

He looked up at the dense trees, looking closely before saying

"Maybe it's just an a animal."

She murmured to him, and went back to look at the place carefully, when her heart was beating like this for God's sake, she felt a hand placed on her shoulder, and the voice of Commander Zack asked

"Doctor Huxson, are you okay??!"

She jumped on his hand, and looked at him quickly, before taking a breath and shaking her head

"Nothing, I was just delusional."

He narrowed his eyes and said cautiously, while tightening his weapon

"I insist on knowing what you were delusional about."

She shrugged, pointing to the trees a little further away from them.

"I think I saw something that passed by quickly, but it was clearly an animal."

He looked at the place very carefully before muttering

"We'd better make sure."

He pointed to three soldiers to make sure, while he gently pushed Lina by her shoulders.

"We'd better move from here quickly."

She shook her head, and moved beside him, George, who looked at her with looks that she understood well, and how not when she saw this keenness and strictness that surrounded them

She raised her eyes to the sky, to see that the sun was in the middle of the sky, releasing its harsh rays, raising the temperature of the air around them with great force. Zak stopped the convoy with his hand, looking around him with examination, with expert eyes, muttering something to one of his soldiers, before looking at them

"We will take a half-hour break."

She sighed tiredly, and put her bag on the ground next to the tree, before taking her bottle, and heading towards the lake in the middle of that empty space.

Michael came to her, and he also put his bottle in the lake,

"Keep doing what you're doing, and don't turn around."

She furrowed her eyebrows and whispered to him, without any reaction, just looking in front of her silently and coldly, while inside her a lot of questions and confusion flared up, he pushed a large sharp knife under the water around her, and he continued his words with a whisper that was enough to reach her, but not for them

"keep this with you, I don't trust those people "

"Why me of all?"

she murmured, as she pretended to be washing her bottle, he lifted his bottle and closed it, to open another and return to his first position.

"Well, because you're the only honest person here, I don't trust anyone, not even George and Carl."

Her eyebrows furrowed, the amount of ambiguity around her became wide, and she is like an idiot who does not understand anything. He continued his whispering words

"Stay close to me...you know in case something happens."

He finished his talk, looking at her lightly, before quickly turning his gaze away from her, and getting back to his place, she kept looking absently at his place, before raising the knife, hiding it between her clothes, so that she also got up, going back to her bag, and put the water in its place.

before one of the papers fell on her head , She looked up, to see the huge trees that did not show their end, and it seemed to her that she saw someone jumping there from one branch to another , She shook her head, dismissing these thoughts.

Maybe it was a monkey. She looked again at George, who was lying down with his eyes closed, then at Carl, who was glancing around everyone cautiously, at Michael, who was absentmindedly looking at the ground, moving a stick carelessly, then she looked at the soldiers who were standing around them in a circle, and at Zack, who stood far away talking on his wireless

she swallowed her saliva, distancing her thoughts from everything, to sigh tiredly, she was about to lie down next to her bag, but a flower in the form of a rose flower stopped her, but it was violet surrounded by flowers, her eyes widened in shock, as she mumbled

"Wow, unbelievable, what bring this flower here? I didn't know it would grow in these conditions."

She took out something to help her pull it out, before carrying it carefully and putting it in her bag, she went back to sitting in her place, taking a break, before the convoy continued walking again.

Fatigue had taken its toll on them, and the night was already about to fall, and they were still continuing to walk, one following the other as Zack ordered from the beginning of the journey.

She stopped and George stopped behind her, furrowing his eyebrows

"What's happened ??"

She swallowed her saliva while whispering in horror

"George told me you see what I'm seeing, and I'm not crazy."

He looked at her, then straight ahead where she was looking, swallowing his saliva, muttering

"Look on the bright side, you're not crazy, though I suspect it is."

She gritted her teeth, if they were in other circumstances, she swearing that she would have slapped him, separating his head from his body, the soldiers pointed their weapons at that strange thing, whose eyes were shining red, he slowly advanced from them, while he was showing his fangs

" Is he among the legendary animals? "

He snarled at Carl with great anger, so that the other fell back until he fell to the ground, and crawled behind to the side of one of the soldiers

"And what the hell is this, I've never seen anything like this in my life "

Michael muttered anxiously, as he stood in front of Lena, who lingered in her place, swallowed her saliva and clung to Michael's back, shifting her gaze around the soldiers, who were cursing with great anger, before her gaze fell on Zack, who had drawn his weapon In the face of this strange creature, it is nothing definite, it is not a bear, nor a wolf, nor anything

that's almost a mixture of all animals, with its three-legged head, like the head of a wolf, and its four legs, its ears that are like large rabbit ears, its sharp fangs, it is almost like the mythical creatures, which She used to read it in Greek mythology, and his saliva that covered the earth due to its density

She swallowed her saliva, and she pulled on the knife, which Michael gave her, taking cover with his body over her, really she going to kill herself if she escaped from this creature, why should she argue with John, and come to this damned trip, to finish a meal for this creature ..... well there is no specific description of it

"I don't advise you to do that."

A cold, amused voice resounded in the place, making everyone in the place search for him

He smiled sideways, and had pity on their necks moving around in search of him, to jump from his place, standing on the back of the terrifying creature, whose saliva filled the ground below, everyone swallowed their saliva, and retreated back in panic, while that man, standing on top of the monster looking at them with enjoyment

Everyone turned around with the intention of running away from what was in front of them, but they were shocked that they were surrounded by a group of leopards .... Um, well, it had seven legs instead of four, almost like a multi-legged insect with the head of a black leopard with red eyes

“Have we entered the kingdom of legendary animals?”

She muttered in wonder, as she looked at the beast, then at those leopards that looked at them with clear hatred from their eyes, as she showed her fangs strongly, the men panicked and without warning they started shooting at those damned creatures, after all, They could not bear to stand in front of these creatures, they are truly terrifying

George, who cursed under his breath, retreated from this trip, which was getting weirder every second, and hid behind one of the huge trees with Carl, while Michael was holding Lena's hand, who was looking around with completely shocked eyes, still in shock, unable to believe what she saw so far.

Zach cursed under his breath, looking at his men angrily roaring

"Protect the expedition, help will arrive soon."

Michael disappeared with Lina behind the tall plants, cursing strongly. He turned to Lina, who was trembling behind him with great fear , almost losing consciousness from this place. He grabbed her shoulders, looking at her sharply

"Lena, look at me."

She shuddered more, as she moved her gaze around the place, those strange leopards that were tearing the soldiers apart, bullets and fast men, she could not count them, moving between the soldiers separating their heads from their bodies, he held her face in his hands, shaking it violently

"Lena damn it look at me"

She looked at him with great fear, muttering in tears, she could no longer control him

"We will die, we're going to die here."

He cursed under his breath, holding her face tenderly

"No, no, nothing will happen to you. We will get out of here together. Okay . Just hold on to me. I need you strong for us as usual."

She shook her head while still trembling, and he grabbed her face speaking tenderly

"Don't look at them okay, just run, run with all your might, like you've never run before."

She shook her head, tears spilling down her cheeks, he cursed under his breath, he didn't have to accept this flight, and damn he had to come back from the damn airport, when he saw all those soldiers

He pulled her hand to look around him well, before he ran, pulling her away. He ran quickly, trying to cover his eyes from those creatures, and the massacre that was taking place around him. All his thinking was focused on how to get out of here and save her, as it had aroused in him feelings and a desire for protection since he saw her for the first time in the waiting room, because it resembles his little princess and all his life....

He ran quickly before bending down and pulling one of the fallen guns to the ground, he ran quickly but stopped, and he found two men emerging from behind the trees in front of him, he stepped back , He almost turned around to flee, but he found another man from the right, and from the left, the owner of the beast, he almost ran from the empty side, but he found George and Carl running from it, to stand beside him, and they looked at those in front of them with great horror

He swallowed his saliva, and looked at the men who were looking at them with great sarcasm, before their features turned tense and appeared uncomfortable. The three looked at them in astonishment, even the beast had lowered his ears, and started making a sound that seemed to them as if it was wailing.

Everyone swallowed their saliva and looked back, as he came out from among , The trees are two men preceded by a man, to say the least, who is literally a monster, his muscular body built in a terrifying way, but the really terrifying thing about him is not the structure of his body or his features, but rather his eyes, which was completely black, not only the pupil but completely, it was black without whiteness, Only big black eyes, wearing ordinary clothes with a black leather jacket, he looked at two men and then at the beast, which was riding him coldly, before looking at those in front of him, he raised his eyebrow coldly

"Don't say that these are them."

The one riding that beast yawned, speaking in a malicious tone

"Can you believe this, all these guards are for these?"

The man who appeared with the commander from behind the trees looked at them with a cold, emotionless look

"I suggest we kill them."

A gasp escaped from George, Carl, and Michael, while the other clenched her hand on his coat strongly, and she was trembling.

The other looked at them coldly, then looked at George who looked at them angrily, in a fighting position, next to him was Carl and behind him Michael, who was hiding a terrified Lena

"I agree with Steve, Boss."

Their other concern, and looked at the owner of the beast

"What do you think Jack??"

The other shrugged his shoulders indifferently, repeating sarcastically

"I don't mind, they'll be a quick meal for Damon,"

he said patting the fur of his beast, which still bowed its head submissively to the ground, unable to raise its gaze upwards, towards the one standing there, looking at the three immobile, He smiled sideways, as he turned to leave

"Then enjoy them."

He moved three steps exactly, during which the so-called Jack smiled very maliciously, and it disappeared completely as soon as that stone hit the back of their leader,

literally everyone was terrified, while Damon's groaning increased, as for those leopards that ran among the trees hiding, he slowly turned around and his eyes burned with a buried human being, the rock was not strong to hurt him, but it caused a small, barely visible wound in his neck

"Wasn't she behind you?"

muttered George in shock, as he looked at Lina, who was standing in front of the three. They did not know when she came out, nor when she threw the stone, only suddenly she appeared

She gritted her teeth

"You bloody bastard, who do you think you are to order them to kill me, you dishonorable bastard!"

Michael and Carl's face faded, and he ran to her, muttering

" damn it, Lena, this isn't the time for you to go crazy."

She pushed him away from her, and looked at Jack, who was looking at her with a jaw that fell to the ground from the horror of his shock,

"Do you think you will scare me with this monster, you monkey face? Ha, do you think that I will allow you to pursue me in this curse, which I do not yet know how I reached it, over my dead body you want to kill me, here I am."

"This girl is something else,"

George said, referring to her, adding with astonishment.

"Wasn't she terrified seconds ago? How can she change in seconds like this?"

Everyone swallowed his saliva, and looked at the humanoid beast with black eyes, who was standing in his place, looking at her in a terrifying silence, even at that monster who still bowed his head, watching him cautiously from his terrifying aura.

"You damned bitch "

muttered Steve, while he was giving her blazing looks, grimacing his fangs, to turn towards them again, turning her eyes away from Jack and his monster.

She does not deny the fear that overtook her, as soon as she looked at the one in front of her, rather she was completely terrified of his appearance, but she reminded herself that one death in this life , and she will not give them the happiness they want.

If those monsters want to kill her, she will die with dignity. She turned her gaze back to the one with strange eyes. Why is he looking at her like that? She is not that bad. It is true that she spent two days in the forest, but she is not that bad.

“We will take them with us.”

As soon as he finished his muttering, everyone looked at him in shock, they looked at them, then at him, then at them again, he was definitely joking.

The man on the left clenched his teeth angrily, to let out his claws, running towards Lina, who looked at the owner of the dark eyes, blinked without comprehension, and she found him standing in front of her in the blink of an eye, his face to hers, his nose close to hers in an unreasonable degree, her breath taking from his own, she swallowed her saliva with great tension turned into shock, looking at his hand that extended behind her back.

She turned very slowly, so that her eyes widened in shock. She screamed in terror from the man who was behind her, raising his hand, which is a sharp hand like a sword, with only the hand of the dark-eyed person separating it from it.

Was wrapped around his neck forcefully, until blood bled from his neck and his eyes were still watching her in a strange way, her neck this time was right in front of his face, his breath was hitting the skin of her neck, causing her strange goosebumps, while his breath was suspiciously fast, as if someone had been deprived of air for many years

She quickly moved away from them, blinking in shock, for seconds, and that man's body was hitting a tree behind him, uprooting it.

George looked at him with great anger, to take his gun and point it at the man in front of him with hatred

"Who are you, what do you want from us?"

He didn't answer him and didn't give him any look, even a small one, but still fixed his gaze on her. Michael approached her quickly, examining her with his eyes

"You're fine."

She shook her head yes, and returned her sight to the man, who was standing in front of her, looking at her in complete silence. The owner of the beast was embarrassed by this situation, to jump over his beast to the side of his master

"Um, sir, what are you saying??"

He didn't take his eyes off her, and didn't bother to look at the one standing in front of him.

"As you heard, they will come with us."

" are you crazy ??"

The man who came with him muttered while grinding his teeth with great anger. He looked at him out of the corner of his eye, then returned to look at the one who was looking at them with concern, as she looked at them one by one.

"Steve, I said they'll come with us, the discussion is over,"

he growled angrily, looking at him with burning eyes, so that the other lowered his head submissively.

"Okay,"

he looked at the owner of the monster, who was looking at him anxiously, then at George, who was still raising his weapon, and Michael, who was holding Lena, hiding her behind him, and Carl, who was standing behind them, looking at them without understanding, he looked at them again, before he looked at Michael, who was hiding her with his body.

He tightened his hand very strongly, and turned away from the entire place , leaving everyone in shock

"Damn, what have you got yourself into?"

muttered George angrily, as he looked at those in front of him who were looking at them vaguely.

She swallowed her saliva, to get her head out from behind Michael, she blinked several times at those looking at her to smile nervously,

"Haha...Haha, at least we didn't die right."

George looked at her sarcastically,

"Thank you, thanks to you. Even if they were thinking of killing us quickly, now they are going to torture us."

She glanced at him indignantly, before she looked at those who were looking at her in a terrifying way, to swallow her saliva in panic, while she said with great concern,

"Damn it, I really hate my life."
