Chapter 130
The room fell silent after Eli's admission. For several moments, neither man spoke. The only sounds came from the distant dripping of water somewhere deeper within the abandoned infrastructure and the faint hum of aging emergency lights struggling to remain functional after decades of neglect. Miles remained crouched beside Alexis, his gaze lingering on her pale face as he considered Eli's words. The hunter wasn't being pessimistic. He was being realistic. Their situation was objectively terrible. They were deep within the Outlands, trapped beneath a ruined city whose underground network stretched for miles in every direction. They possessed no reliable map, no support, and no certainty that they were even moving toward civilization rather than further away from it. Alexis remained unconscious and poisoned, while Eli's condition was hardly any better. Under normal circumstances, most people would have already accepted death. Miles, however, had never been particularly

Miles led them into a partially collapsed maintenance chamber connected to the main tunnel network.The room had likely served as a utility station decades earlier, before the destruction of the city reduced the underground infrastructure to little more than a forgotten labyrinth of ruins. Broken machinery occupied most of the available space, while rust-covered control panels lined one wall beneath layers of dust and corrosion. Large cracks stretched across the ceiling overhead, evidence of years of neglect slowly eroding the structure's integrity.Although the chamber offered little comfort, it provided something far more valuable at the moment: concealment.After carefully surveying the room, Miles lowered Alexis against a concrete support pillar and crouched beside her. She remained unconscious, and of everyone who had consumed the poisoned supplies, she appeared to have suffered the worst effects. The toxin spreading through her body had been compounded by physical exhaustion, em

Several mercenaries nodded in agreement.The logic was difficult to dispute.Unlike blindly charging through monster-infested territory, Shawn's plan allowed them to conserve their strength while their targets exhausted themselves fighting for survival. Even those who had initially questioned the pursuit found themselves reassured by the strategy.Shawn folded the map and rose to his feet."If Miles somehow manages to get them that far, he'll already be running on borrowed strength."His gaze swept across the assembled mercenaries."He'll be protecting two liabilities while carrying the burden of every battle fought along the way. Every encounter will drain his stamina, every injury will slow his movements, and every decision will force him to spend resources he cannot afford to lose."A cold edge entered his voice."That is when we finish this."The confidence that had briefly wavered among the mercenaries gradually returned.One of the hunters allowed himself a small smile."So we l

The cargo station gradually descended into silence following Halmer's death. The clash of weapons had long since faded, and the final pockets of resistance mounted by the surviving hunters had been crushed beneath overwhelming force. Across the ruined station, bodies lay strewn among shattered cargo containers and heaps of debris, while blood spread across the cracked concrete floor in dark streams that wound their way through the wreckage left behind by the battle. For everyone present, the expedition was over. At least, that was what most of Shawn's men believed. Standing beside Halmer's lifeless body, Shawn remained completely motionless. A few feet away rested the veteran hunter's severed head, his vacant eyes still fixed toward the darkness as though death had interrupted him in the middle of a thought. For several moments, Shawn simply stared. There was no trace of satisfaction on his face, nor any sign of triumph or relief. Instead, his expression carried only quiet conte
