?<strong>Chapter 894:</strong>
She spun around in panic, only to see that Allison had already slipped into the elevator during the brief pause between thesers’ shots.
Allison’s voice was sharp and unyielding as she gave the order. “Grab her.”
“And who do you think you are to have the right to touch me? You’re out of your mind!” Lena began to argue. But before she could say more, the men in ck wrestled her to the floor.
Meanwhile, Allison calmly pressed the button for the first floor with practiced ease.
She nced at the time. By now, Ken should have cleared the second basement. As the elevator began to rise, a violent jolt shook it, as if the building itself had quaked. Momentster, it dropped sharply, plunging downward.
Everyone instinctively pressed themselves against the elevator walls. Lena’s face turned ghostly white, her fear evident.
Allison suspected that the sudden activation of the Meteor System earlier was connected to what was happening now. “Stay calm,” she said firmly, her voice steady.
As she had anticipated, the elevator’s buffer system engaged, preventing a fatal crash.
When the elevator finally stopped at the second basement level, the doors creaked open, releasing a wave of scorching heat.
“What are your orders, Ms. rke?” one of the men in ck asked, his voice steady as he pressed the elevator buttons repeatedly.
Nothing happened. The elevator had lost power, and the floor numbers on the disy had vanished.
Thick smoke began to seep into the elevator, quickly filling the space and triggering violent coughing fits from everyone. Lena, still shaken, froze. Her mind raced, trying toprehend what the man had just called Allison.
Ms. rke?
Wasn’t that woman supposed to be Alice?
Lena barely had time to process the thought before the suffocating smoke became unbearable. The men in ck seemed only concerned with Allison,pletely ignoring her.
“Get down low, everyone! We’re using the emergency exit!” Allisonmanded sharply.
Squinting through the haze, she focused on the direction of Verruckt’s office.
“Cover your noses, and don’t fall behind!” she added.
“Understood,” the men in ck replied in unison. Without hesitation, they followed Allison, carrying the test subjects as they pushed forward.
By now, mes had engulfed the document storage area. The oppressive heat scorched their skin, making every step agonizing.
They couldn’t afford to stop, terrified that the raging mes might overtake them.
When they finally reached Verruckt’s office, Allison delivered a powerful kick to the door, sending it flying open with a resounding bang.
