"Sir, it's been five days, but Captain Michael and his team has yet to return."
The young man with an ordinary face stated calmly. His hands were shaking while holding some papers and giving short report. The atmosphere was quiet as if only him breathing could be heard. There is a large transparent screen on the board, currently a man with a blue uniform was typing something. There is no expression on the man, his eyes were dark, empty, and bottomless, quite dull but inside those pupils there is a deep pool of abyss lurking. He was tall and lean, but also had bulging muscles that could be seen in his fit uniform. A small section of his bronze skin was exposed on his neck, up to his face. His gloves covered hands were busy touching some buttons on the transparent screen.
Seeing this, the young soldier gulped and reminded him again, "Sir?"
Finally, the man turned over and his piercing gaze was almost deep-rooted on the young soldier, "Gather our team, we will follow them."
His voice was deep, magnetic, and imposing with strong command, cold like snowflakes and terrifying as the deep river.
The young soldier nodded and hurriedly bid his goodbye, leaving the man alone.
The emotion in the man's eyes solidify as he recalls the dream he encountered last night. It's been so long since that person visited him. When the apocalypse began, that person didn't appear in his dreams anymore. This made him gloomy and furious, he doesn't understand why that person stopped entering his dreams as if he abandoned him.
Since young, Marshal Kwon Hee-Ryang completely lacks emotion. His parents were worried at first, but their families were part of the militaries for decades. They only thought that Hee-Ryang inherited his grandfather's temper, who was cold all the time, but they were wrong. Because Hee-Ryang wasn't able to sympathize with anyone.
They conducted several psychiatrists to cure him, but it was no avail. Only the person in his dream could unlock all his raging emotions. This started when he was five, the blue-eyed youth who'se face was blurred started emerging on his dream. For the first time, he experienced being scared, but the joy and excitement dominated his body. Since then, every night he would expect that youth would appear in his dreams, but after the apocalypse began, that youth disappeared.
The darkness on Hee-Ryang's face spread, "Yeonwoo."

At the same time, the youth who was wearing a delicate red Chinese robe was playing with his wooden doll. The man whose expression was dull was currently tying his hair from behind. There are no obstacles that could distract the harmonious atmosphere in the present, as if they had their own world perfectly made from them, away from the catastrophe the world was facing and away from the envious gazes cast from the outside.
Daniel glared and turned his head to their Captain, "Sir it has been three days since we lost signal here, I don't know if the base sends some troupes to rescue us."
Michael frowned and move away from the door, stared at the window, "Before that we need to inspect all the places here and find that mysterious thing." Besides, he already had a hunch on what that thing is.
Thinking about this, he can't help but stared again at the close door who hadn't been open for several days.
Daniel nodded and walked steadily. They constantly inspect every corner in this hospital, but they couldn't find that strange thing. Though, there are many weird things in this place, especially Dr. Steins' laboratory, where they find the crystalized coffin. The coffin was beautiful, but aside from that, it was completely ordinary except for the low temperature. They didn't pursue to observe that thing anymore. Their three other members were still recuperating in a room, so they couldn't leave this place at once.
But during those days, he couldn't catch a glimpse of that youth, which made him irritable. That door was consistently close as if there is no living people in there. They don't know what that two people are doing, but Daniel hardly wanted to find that boy. Even if that man beside that boy had mysterious strange, he couldn't stop thinking about him.
He clenched his fist again.
Aware of his thoughts, Michael narrowed his eyes silently. He sneered and started to move ahead. He knew that Daniel was a very capable boy, but he didn't quite understand why would a capable and obedient boy turned stubborn at once.
He recalled the appearance of that youth, indeed, he had the face that could hook anyone with just a mere sight but apart from that, he couldn't find anything attractive from that boy. His naivety and innocent could only bring him disaster, if it weren't for that brother, that youth had long-lost his innocence.
There is a dark glint flashing into his eyes. He stepped down and accidentally hit something in his feet. He looked down and saw a strange doorknob underneath his feet, he frowned and couched down only to find a rare secret door just one step in the stair.
What in the world…
Refusing to follow the signs, he opened it, but it was heavy. He turned around and saw that Daniel wasn't following him. He cursed silently and put down his bag to open the door. It was very heavy which put him a lot of effort to open it. Instantly, a rotten smell penetrated his nose. He coughed and stepped back a little. The smell was strong and bad. If it weren't for his strong urge, he would vomit. The dusk covered the thing inside, he tried to brush it and his eyes saw a stair.
He was surprised to find a hidden door in the floor.
He looked around and saw that no one saw him. He sighed and started walking down. The stairs were small but could still carry his weight. It was not long for him to stepped up in the ground. He picked his flashlight and turned it on. The inside was huge compared to what he expected, but it was also old. There is dusk and dirt everywhere, and the smell was getting stronger as he stepped forward. Couldn't tolerate the smell, he picked a small cloth in his pocket and used it to cover his nose.
His black boots sounded in the silent room, the binding lights was the only light in the whole darkness. Michael was started to get nervous as he walked by. Then, he accidentally hit something. He picked it up from the ground and felt a sticky, wet feeling in his fingers. The disgust was visible in his face, he raised his palms and put it in the light only to find a blood on his fingers. He stumbled down and unexpected touch a button.
His eyes widened when he saw the entire room.
Human corpses, meats, and bones were scattered on the ground. The blood covered the whole place and there are still fresh meat that has been minced in pieces
He swallowed hard and stood up. Instinct tells him to run away, but as he turned around, his nervous eyes saw a terrifying one.
Daniel excitedly opened the door. He waited for hours just for the door to opened. Unexpectedly, the man went out, leaving the youth inside. He doesn't know where the man went, but he was delighted when a chance appeared on him. He fabricated countless words to coax the youth to follow him, and greatly the door wasn't locked which made him easier to open the door.
Surprisingly, the room was very neat and clean. He saw the red clothed youth in the bed not far away from the door. He quickened his pace and also lessen his voice. There is a considerable excitement in his face, thinking so many immoral thoughts raging in his brains.
"Hi." He called out, not hiding the pleasure in his voice.
The youth turned around confusingly, maybe he was expecting someone, but this only made him frowned when he saw Daniel.
"Hello." He turned around and continued playing with his doll.
Daniel was not discouraged by this, he went forward and sat down in the bed beside the youth.
"Why are you alone? Where's your brother?"
Qiao Chen raised his eyes and hesitated, "My brother said that he would just clean up some mess… so I'm not alone…"
"Then play with me until your brother returns?" Daniel smiled.
Qiao Chen hesitate again. He wanted to play, but moving was exhausting in his body. He would black out, and his brother would be mad again. But he also wanted to play with this brother…
He pouted, "Brother said that I can't get out here unless I'm full."
Daniel raised his brow, "Are you hungry?"
"Yes."
"Then brother has food in his room, do you want to come?"
Realizing that there is something wrong in the man's eyes, Qiao Chen shrink down. He slowly moved backwards and there is a rare panic on his face.
"No... I will wait for brother." He had a good intuition, and his intuition tells that this brother had a wicked idea.
Daniel didn't bother to mask his intentions and instantly pulled the ankle of the youth and pressed him in the bed.
"I like you. I really like you, why don't you follow me?" Daniel seems to be possessed by something, making his face twisted.
Qiao Chen's eyes formed a mist, and he whimpered aggrievedly, "Wu..Wu... Let go!"
"I like you, can you be with me? Leave that brother..."
"No! No! No!"
"Shh, brother will be gentle..."
Yong Guan's eyes sank deeply. He hurriedly ran towards the door and opened it. His eyes were glistened with snow and just one look could immediately freeze the opponent eyes. Damn it. He let his guard down, he just went out, and a pest instantly entered the room. There is different ideas forming in his mind on how tortured that rascals, if he touches a single hair of Xiao Chen, he would burn him alive and feed his burnt flesh into the wild animals.
But when he opened the door, he only saw the crying face of Qiao Chen. He was curled up in the bed, his knees reaching his head, crying silently. Yong Guan's face softened.
"Xiao Chen..."
Qiao Chen raised his head, "Brother...wu...brother... I'm so hungry... He wanted to touch me but I'm so hungry..."
Yong Guan hugged him and patted his back. Only did he noticed that there is a blood on Qiao Chen's mouth and his green eyes turned to red. He looked down and saw a corpse completely eaten by something.
"Brother... I didn't mean too... I-I'm just hungry, and he was trying to do something to me, wu~"
There was a satisfied smile on the lips of Yong Guan.
So this is getting darker and darker huhuhu
