After a brief rest, Captain John confirmed that he could not reach S.H.I.E.L.D. and decided to press onward.
This time, they did not change their positions, advancing directly in their standard combat-ready formation.
John had made this decision after confirming that they could not contact S.H.I.E.L.D.
Those monsters had already attacked their original location. Staying put meant certain death!
As they traveled farther, a stone-covered path appeared before them without anyone noticing when it had emerged.
"How... how could there be a man-made path here? Something's wrong!"
None of them knew what they would encounter if they kept going. All they knew was that they were in grave danger.
When John looked toward the far end of that dark path, he could not even see where it ended.
In a place overgrown with weeds, without so much as a trail worn by footsteps, a man-made path looked wrong no matter how they viewed it.
"Watch your surroundings!"
Everyone drew a deep breath and took each step with utmost care. Naturally, the entire team advanced very slowly.
As they followed the path, the fog grew thicker.
They nervously aimed their guns ahead as visibility dwindled. Unless they were at the very front, they could barely make out the scenery ahead.
"This..."
"Is that a building?"
It was a building with a thoroughly modern design.
Moss and algae surrounded it, with patches of weeds growing everywhere.
A haze that seemed thick yet somehow thin shrouded the entire building.
The building stood a full four stories tall, much taller than they had imagined, but no sunlight penetrated the haze.
Only the building itself gave off light and heat.
John frowned. "This place doesn't look right."
"Definitely." Doctor Amon agreed with John, an indescribable flicker of fervor flashing in his eyes!
Clearly, Doctor Amon
