The snow turned into a fine mist as dawn broke beyond the southern ridge, changing the landscape into something ghostly and unsettling. The land around them had grown quieter than before—not the natural silence of remote terrain, but the heavy stillness of something actively watching.

"It feels like we're being recorded," Kira said quietly as they packed their equipment. "Every step, every breath."

"The Zone changed something," Eren replied, his voice carrying a certainty that hadn't been there before. "Not just in the building. In everything around it."

"Changed how?" Elina asked, checking her scanner.

"Like everything's connected now. Like the whole area is... awake."

They moved with practiced efficiency, each motion careful and measured. The pulsing energy from Zone Null's buried structure was no longer just a background presence—it had settled into their bodies like pressure against their ribs, a constant reminder of what they'd awakened.

"How do you feel?" Kira asked Eren as they

    The gunshot was fired for the second and third time, causing them to remain on the ground. Eren couldn’t find where it had come from, but he had his eyes on one of the windows of the building in front of him.The glasses of the window had been broken, but it was it was hard to tell if anyone was inside due to the blinding rays that reflected on the glasses still left on the window. “That seems to be the perfect hiding spot for our shooter.” He pointed, and to confirm his words, another shot was fired from that spot.Eren gasped as the bullet missed him by a few inches. His eyes looked at the bullets holes in the ground, his hands fastened on the ground. “This is a trap!” He grunted, and taking out his gun, he aimed and fired sporadically, almost emptying his magazine. His muscles twisted, his eyes red with annoyance, and he didn’t stop until he was satisfied that he had gotten his target. Then the shooter fell from the top floor, crashing to the ground with a heavy thud. His bloo

    He already knew that it may not work, but Eren decided to attempt to call the stranger who had succeeded in keeping him and everyone on the edge.He tried to call her, but the call kept returning, and out of frustration, he grunted loudly, giving up on reaching her.“Whoever this is! She is getting on my nerves! I will deal with her myself!” He swore, clenching his fists tightly. Tiara felt so much pity for him, but she seemed to be in a similar situation as he was. Eren decided to focus on getting the men ready, and as soon as he was done telling them the plans that he had, he waited silently, staring at the screen at every opportunity that he got.“Do you think that she is going to call?” Tiara asked, turning her gaze to the screen.Eren sighed heavily, but he couldn’t get even the smallest relief. “I am not sure, Tiara. But I hope so for the sake of Elina’s life. Everything depends on her calling back.” Eren tapped his fingers on his legs, praying silently.Then he heard the ph

    Without delay, Eren answered the call, and then he put it on speak out, allowing everyone to listen to hear what the caller was going to say.“It’s been over ten minutes, General! Are you still insisting on holding onto your ego? Do you want her to die?”Everyone who had not heard the female voice tried to discover if they had ever heard it before, but it was not just strange, but it sounded distorted as well. “I just called to remind you that you are not going to be able to forgive yourself if you let her die, General. Her blood is going to be on your head, and you will live with the guilt forever.”Eren sighed, struggling with the cringe that forced itself down his spine. “What do you want to do with those weapons?” He asked, and that seemed to be something that the rest of those standing with him wanted to know.“It’s very simple!” The caller sniggered. “I would love to dominate the world!” She took a deep breath. “Well, what is left of it?” Eren turned to Tiara, and then she s

    Eren gasped, and taking a look at the door again, he spoke in a low tone.“Did you do this?!”“What do you think?!” The caller responded, voice laced with a sneer. “I just shot her with a little poison. But don’t worry, she will not die as long as she gets the antidote. I have it, and I will only give it to you in exchange for what I have asked you to give me.”Eren grunted, his muscles contorting all over his face. “What did you do to her?!” He asked angrily, but there was no response from the caller.Eren had to move aside, and certain that he was standing alone, he spoke in a low tone. “Listen to me!” He growled, taking a deep breath. “I don’t know who you are, but I am going to find you and kill you!” “Oh, please!” The caller scoffed. “I have already heard that before! Maybe you should look for something else and threaten me with!” Eren snarled, fuming in a rage.He wished that he could set his eyes on the caller, but he didn’t even know who she was. “Think about what I ju

    Eren kept his silence, his eyes moving from one corner to the other. Then the caller took a heavy and loud breath. “You have not said anything, General!” Her loud tone broke through the silence, drawing Eren back to reality. “You are not getting anything from me,” Eren stood his ground, but he didn’t look like he was prepared for whatever could be the outcome of his decision. The caller scoffed. “Are you sure that you are ready for the consequences of your actions, General! I will present my gift if you do not change your mind.”Eren remained silent, and reacting to the tension that gripped him, he looked around, struggling calm his beating heartbeat.“I am not giving you what you have asked for.” He said, and a laughter from the caller erupted. “Very well, then.” She sniggered. “Time to give you the gift I already prepared for you.” Eren was forced to turn to the van, and then a beeping sound followed at once. “What is that?” He asked, taking two steps close to the van.“I woul

    “Shoot them, soldier! Do it now!” Eren instructed the soldier handling the drone, and he instantly opened fire, eliminating the two men in the van. The gunshots were so intense that they had to wait for almost a minute for the smoke to clear.“I think you should go closer now,” Eren instructed, and the soldier did as he said. But barely ten seconds after the done was made to go closer to the van, the bald man pulled out his gun and fired with his last strength.The screen went black. “We lost the drone, Sir!” The soldier said to Eren, taking a deep breath that couldn’t get rid of the apprehension that gripped him.“You!” Eren turned to the next soldier with a drone. “Get to that location at once! I need to see what is going on.”“Yes, Sir!” The soldier obeyed, and everyone turned to his screen. “Where did they go?” Eren reacted to the empty van, his eyes wide while his brows hung above them. He took a deep breath, and without delay, he instructed the three soldiers behind him. “
