"Shut your mouth, Marcus," Lisa snapped without even looking at the old man.Lisa knelt down next to Jonah. She opened her small medical kit. She pulled out a clean white bandage.She started to wrap the deep cut on Jonah’s leg. She wrapped it very tight to stop the bleeding."Listen to me, Jonah," Lisa said softly, her voice much kinder now. "You are stripped down to your human limits. But human limits are not a weakness. They are a feature."Jonah looked at her. "What do you mean?""When a machine is broken, it stops working completely," Lisa explained as she tied the bandage tight. "But a human being adapts. You do not need a green bar in your eye to tell you when you are tired. Your body tells you. When you are breathing hard, you are tired. When you are bleeding, you are hurt. You have to listen to your body, not a computer."Lisa finished wrapping the leg. She patted his knee."You are afraid because you lost your absolute certainty," Lisa said, looking directly into his dark br

Without the System, Jonah had no night vision. He could not see the glowing red dots of enemies. He was completely blind in the dark."Did you hear that?" Lisa whispered. She raised her gun. She clicked a small button on the side of her pistol. A bright white flashlight turned on, cutting a beam of light into the tunnel.The light hit the monsters.There were three of them.They looked like giant, mutated moles. They were the size of large dogs. Their bodies were covered in thick, hard, gray scales. They had no eyes, just smooth skin where their eyes should be. But their mouths were huge, filled with rows of flat, crushing teeth. They had massive front claws built for digging through solid rock.The bright light made them angry. They opened their terrible mouths and let out a loud, hissing roar. SSSHHHH!"Tunnel Crawlers," Marcus yelled in panic. He raised his heavy rifle. "Shoot them!"The three blind monsters charged out of the tunnel. They moved fast, their heavy claws clicking lou

The climb down into the dark chasm was a nightmare. The air was freezing cold. It smelled like old rust, wet dirt, and rotten meat. The walls of the deep hole were not smooth. They were jagged. Sharp rocks stuck out like broken teeth. Thick, heavy metal pipes ran down the sides of the hole. The pipes were covered in a thick, slippery black slime.Jonah climbed down first. His giant hands grabbed the rusted metal. He tested every pipe before he put his full weight on it.Creak. Groan.The old metal complained, but it held him."Step exactly where I step," Jonah called up to the group. His deep voice echoed loudly in the massive hole. "Do not rush. If you slip, it is a long way down."Above him, Kevin grunted. The young giant was climbing slowly. His broken ribs caused him terrible pain with every movement. Sweat dripped from Kevin’s nose, falling past Jonah’s face into the dark.Behind Kevin, Elena moved carefully. She was terrified, but she did not cry. Lisa followed Elena, watching

The chasm was incredibly deep. It went down into the dark for hundreds of feet. The walls of the hole were made of thick dirt, solid gray rock, and giant, rusted metal pipes. It looked like the earth had swallowed an ancient, massive city. But at the very, very bottom of the deep hole, there was a light.It was a beautiful, calm, pure blue light.It was not the angry, sick yellow color of the Dead Zone. It was not the flashing, crazy red color of the corrupted fragment. It was clean. It looked like the color of the clear sky before the world ended.Pulse.The blue light grew bright for one second, illuminating the bottom of the deep cavern.Pulse.It faded to a soft glow."It is beautiful," Lisa whispered. She had walked up right next to Jonah. She looked down into the dark hole. The blue light reflected in her dark eyes."It is the Echo Seed," Kevin said. He limped up to the edge. He stared down into the massive chasm. His heart beat fast in his chest. "It opened the door for us. It

A thick cloud of white steam exploded into the air as the hot metal hit the cold silver liquid. The container sank to the bottom of the pond. The crazy, flashing lights disappeared.Instantly, the terrible whispers stopped. The clearing was perfectly quiet again.Jonah dropped to his knees next to Kevin. He grabbed his son by the shoulders."Kevin! Look at me!" Jonah commanded gently. "It is gone. The voice is gone. Breathe."Kevin gasped for air. He opened his good eye. He looked at his father. Kevin’s face was covered in a fresh layer of cold sweat. He was shaking like a leaf in the winter wind."Dad," Kevin whispered. His voice was broken and terrified. "Did you hear them?""I heard them," Jonah said. He wiped the sweat from Kevin’s forehead. "They were broken."Lisa walked over and knelt down. Her face was pale. "I heard them too," she said. She looked at the silver pond where the container had sunk. "It sounded like a radio broadcast from hell. The voices were panicked. They were

The yellow fog hung in the air like a thick, dirty blanket. The clearing in the broken forest was totally quiet. The five clear, dead dogs lay in the dirt. Their black blood soaked into the strange, copper-wire grass.But Kevin was not looking at the dead monsters. He was on his knees. Both of his large hands were pressed flat against the cold, gray dirt. He closed his one good eye. He did not move. He barely even breathed. A few seconds passed.Thump.Jonah watched his son. Jonah’s right shoulder was bleeding badly. The sharp needle-teeth of the clear dog had ripped his flesh. Every time his heart beat, a sharp pain shot down his back. But Jonah ignored the pain. He ignored his terrible hunger. He only focused on Kevin."Kevin," Jonah whispered. His deep voice was very careful. He did not want to break his son's concentration. "Are you absolutely sure?"Kevin kept his hands on the ground. "Yes, Dad," Kevin whispered back. "I feel it. It is very deep. But it is there. It is the Ech
