Chapter 88 Danger Beyond the ss
She was just about to snap back when she caught sight of Theresa’s smile.
On second thought, she held back.
Her neck ached.
She shot Lucas a re, dumping the whole mess on him.
Lucas was even more exasperated. “Ms. Hall, please cooperate.”

“You want my cooperation? Fine. On one condition.” Theresa strolled over slowly, holding a keycard between her fingers. “I’ll go in with you.”
“No way!”
“No?” she shot back, spinning on her heel. “Then, I’m heading out. Kyle, let’s go!”
She didn’t wait.
She had the street–thug energy. There was not even the slightest hint of guilt about holding someone else’s keycard. Not even a flicker of hesitation.
She walked off, cool and clean.
Lucas stared after her, oddly impressed, the words slipping out before he could stop them.
“Come back. I agree.”
<i>Beep</i><i>! </i><i>Click</i>.
Deal struck. Theresa returned. After swiping the card, the door slowly opened.
She stood confidently behind Lucas with sharp eyes focused on the room ahead.
It was pitch ck inside–no lights.
The hallway lighting spilled just a few feet into the room, revealing apact steel–ted waiting area.
In the center of the room was a massive ss panel. The lighting didn’t reach far, so everything behind the ss was shadowed, but it was clear the room beyond wasrge.
Silent. Utterly silent.
And yet, Theresa felt it–an invisible pressure in the air. Oppressive. Unsettling.
Like something unknown was hiding in the dark.
Theresa was a mental maniption ability user.
It was rare. When fully focused, she could sense the presence of zombies or ability users nearby–and more importantly, she had a sharp instinct for danger.

She’d made it all the way down to the second basement floor, even through zomble–infested corridors, without feeling a thing, but the moment that door opened, her heart started to race.
A wave of pure pressure hit her
She tried to probe the room with her mind power, but the radiation–shielded chamber made it almost impossible.
Her current level of mind power couldn’t prate the walls.
All she got was a single, overwhelming message–Danger, Danger, Danger.
Theresa stopped at the threshold. She didn’t go in.
Monica noticed, “Weren’t you the one insisting on going in?”
“I’m not going in. Only a fool walks into a copsing building.”
Monica immediately sneered. “Pfft. Please–spare me the wise–man act. You’re just scared! Fine by me. Laicas, let’s go!”
She strode confidently inside.
Lucas, though, paused and turned to Theresa. “You really sense danger in there?”
Theresa gave him a sly smile and held out her hand. “100 gleamstones, and I’ll give you a crucial hint.”
He stared into her eyes for a solid ten seconds–then sighed like he’d lost his mind and pulled a pouch from his pocket. “I’ve only got 78.”
She snatched it. “Good enough. I’ll give you a discount–no use letting you die and waste them all.”
Lucas was speechless. Gee, <i>thanks</i><i>. </i>
“So, what’s inside?”
“No idea. Just know it’s very dangerous.”
He was stunned. <i>So</i>, <i>I </i>paid <i>78 </i><i>gleamstones </i><i>for </i><i>nothing</i><i>? </i>
Monica’s voice rang from inside. “Lucas! What’s the holdup? There’s nothing dangerous in here! Get in here and assist me!”
Lucas didn’t answer. He raised his weapon and entered the room.

As he passed her, Theresa–still holding the gleamstones–looked him straight in the eye and said seriously, “Remember. It’s extremely dangerous in there.”
He gave her a long, hard look, then continued forward alone.
This was a mission–critical zone. No one else was allowed in.
The moment he stepped inside, Theresa pulled out the keycard again. “Kyle, take the dogs and supplies up to the car. Park it by the entrance.”

“Yes!<b>” </b>
Kyle shot a worried nce toward the room, then led the dogs upstairs.
As soon as he left, Graham and the others gathered around Theresa.
“Theresa, is something wrong in there?”
“What did you sense?”
Right then, the lights in the istion room suddenly flicked on–and they all saw what was behind the ss.
