---- For what? For this world, he replied grimly.

To save it from the monsters Adrian's experiments unleashed.

If it works, we will be able to reverse the effects of the serum.

Alex looks at the liquid in shock.

You mean we...ee can change them back into humans? Before Damien could respond, loud chorus deep growls shattered the silence followed by a dozen of heavy footsteps and they both stare at each other to freeze.

Someone was here ---- Chapter 459 Chapter 459 Alexia stood frozen, hearing the sounds.

They weren {just growls, no.

She has been hearing those creatures growls for months.

It was something different.

Tt sounded like....

Cheering? As if celebrating something.

But what? She thought of telling Damien about it but he looked too busy.

Gripping the edges of the secret passage door, he pulled it shut as quietly as possible His green eyes darted around the dimly lit space searching for something and Alex watched him with confusion Danien what are you doing? Why did you close our way out 9 He ignored her.

Instead, he moved swifily to the side of the chamber and runs his hands along the walls.

---- The faint sound of cheers and heavy footsteps reverberating through the stone walls, grew closer by the second and Alex feels her heart in her throat.noveldrama

Whosoever it was....

They were coming closer.

Dam- This is it.

llis fingers stop against the edge of a concealed duct.

And then with a sharp pull, he creaked open the panel, revealing a narrow crawl space barely wide enough for them to fit.

In, he ordered, gesturing for her to climb in first.

Alex hesitated.

What Now Alex! We don't have much time.he snapped, his voice low but urgent.

And Alex nods.

She has to trust him on this She didnt argue further and rather squeezes herself into the cramped space.

The cold, damp metal felt ---- claustrophobic, the darkness pressing in from all sides as she crawled forward.

Damien followed, sliding the panel shut behind him, sealing them inside the confined tunnel.

They moved in silence for several minutes, the faint noise of voice and footsteps fading behind them.

The duct twisted and turned, forcing them to maneuver awkwardly And after half an hour, Alex finally clears the sweat on her brow to ask him.

Where does this eve.

lead? she whispered, her voice echoing slightly I don't know.

Damien replied curtly, his tone clipped and Alex stops crawling.

Her body freezes as she looks back at him over her shoulder.

What the hell.

We can get stuck he- She couldn't complete.

His palm presses on her lips and her body drops back on the stone.

They both stumble back to fall in the closed space.
