A thunderous explosion shook the mountain!


    A breaching charge blew the heavy steel doors of theb clean off their hinges. Fully armed SWAT officers flooded the corridors, sweeping the subterranean nightmare room by room.


    Outside, mercenaries who tried to resist were gunned down on the spot, while others surrendered and were promptly zip-tied.


    As themander of Operation Dawn, Aaron Ashbourne refused to sit safely in the Mobile Command Unit at the base of the mountain. He led from the front lines, storming the facility alongside his men to hunt down the criminals and rescue the victims.


    "Captain Ashbourne, we''ve swept the interior! We haven''t found any high-level targets!"


    "Captain Ashbourne, there''s a subterranean tunnel on sub-level two! They must have escaped through there! We''ve radioed the perimeter units to lock down all exit routes and apprehend anyone suspicious!"


    Aaron''s gaze was lethal, his voicemanding. "Take them alive if possible! We need their testimonies. Specifically, I want Alexia in cuffs! You all saw her photo in the briefing, right?!"


    "Yes, sir! Orders have been ryed!"


    Aaron scanned the deste, horrifying undergroundboratory. The flickering fluorescent lights cast long, grim shadows across the sterile white walls. The air was thick with the suffocating stench of industrial bleach masking the unmistakable, metallic tang of fresh blood.


    It was a literal ughterhouse hidden from the world.


    A few SWAT officers sprinted down the hall, their faces ashen. "Captain Ashbourne!


    All the victims... they''re all dead. Shot execution-style in the head. There are no survivors."


    Aaron''s pupils contracted violently. "What did you say? Not a single person survived?!"


    The officers bowed their heads, their expressions etched with profound grief and helplessness.


    "Motherfuckers!"


    Aaron''s furious roar echoed down the endless concrete hallway. He kicked open door after door, but all he found were cold, lifeless bodies arranged methodically on the beds and floors.


    Watching theirmander desperately tear through the rooms searching for a


    pulse, the officers felt a sickening knot form in their stomachs, their fists clenching in righteous anger.


    They had been entirely blind. A massive, illegal human experimentation ring had


    been operating right in their backyard, and they hadn''t suspected a thing.


    The mastermind behind this was a sadistic, psychotic monster. To cover his tracks, he had ordered the ughter of dozens of innocent lives without a second thought


    It was a crime beyond forgiveness!


    Refusing to give up, Aaron continued tearing through the wards.


    Just as the crushing weight of despair threatened to break him, a whisper-soft voice drifted through the silence.


    "Help... please... help me..."


    In the veryst room at the end of the hall, Aaron found a young girl


    lying on the floor. She had taken!!!!


    bullet through her left shoulder and was barely clinging to life.


    The shot had missed her heart by an inch!


    In their frantic rush to evacuate, the mercenaries must not have double-checked


    their kills, allowing her to slip through the cracks of death.


    "Medic! Get a medic in here right now!"


    Aaron shouted, tears finally spilling over his eyshes. "We have a survivor!"


    ...


    Far away, a sleek ck helicopter took a wide detour before setting down in a secluded clearing.


    Alexia, nked by two of her top enforcers, hopped out of the chopper and slid into a waiting ck sedan. They sped off toward Chad''s private estate in Elmsworth.


    "Ms... Ms. Alexia... what do we do now?" the enforcer asked, terrified.


    Alexia''s whiteb coat was smeared with dirt and blood. Gone was her usual arrogant, polished demeanor. She looked like a filthy, beaten stray dog.


    "You''re asking me? Who the hell am I supposed to ask?! This is all Hans''s doing! And that little bastard 072!


    Onger retaver. Tith going to report


    I''m


    every single detail to Sir! I will hunt them to the ends of the earthand tear them limb from limb!"


    The two men kept their heads down, not daring to utter a single word. The Genesis Lab was gone. Everything had been burned to the ground.
