It was not that his comrades have disappeared that troubled his mind but the moment he opened his eyes after he was unconscious. During the debriefing was all an act.

Elberus. Lt. Davis looked downwards through a circular window of the helicopter's door watching the base's top view. Lance felt melancholic at the moment.

Mystery Bunker II
Blackwolf Basecamp, Mt. Elberus *** Lance was lying on his bed, impatiently waiting for midnight. His room is a 12-square meters, enclosed with metallic walls and no windows in it. It contributed to the nervousness he had of a dangerous quest of curiosity. His thought flitted to his wife, who he knew was mourning. Then he convinced himself that she would be fine. Five million dollars would provide her with a fine luxurious living and start anew. The clock struck midnight, somebody knocked on the door. He hauled himself up and sighed heavily. ‘Here we go.’ He had not started his mission but he now had doubts about the integrity of their presence in the mountain.

But even with the blueprints, they had difficulty. They crawled for half an hour, looking for a perfect spot to infiltrate. All they could see was a fraction of what was inside through small vent holes. They saw a few personnel dressed in white Disease protection suits with a transparent glass protecting their faces. Assuming, about 3 or 4 scientists were walking around these chambers.Finally, at the very end of a vent was a small cover screen where they could descend safely in a small utility room.

He might need the necessary energy to fight his way out.“What are we, you asked,” Chief Vaegon said, his mouth crunching the crisp of the lettuce.“I know you are not normal humans.” Rick retorted.“We are humans, Agent Rick,” Lyka answered as she drank water.“One, you are strong. Second, you are fast. Third, you wiped our team easily.” Rick said. He stopped eating his food and held a stare at Lyka.“You are right. We are strong. We are fast.
