The Primordial Record novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57 I Am Legend (2)

One of the armored figures spoke as they glanced at a ticking device, "We don't have much time in this Nexus Event. Check your readings and let's finish the mission promptly.

"Readings are all in the green."

"Good. How long do we have before contamination exceeds the minimum threshold?"

"Two minutes and counting."

"Proceed with descent and extraction."

Like a flash of lightning, the figures pierced through the water and approached the sleeping Abomination Core.

They reached the hair and proceeded until they stopped at a closed eye.

"Extract Divine Armament Tycho XXVII?"

"Waiting for final approval… Proceed with extraction."

The first armored figure took out a glowing blue slate. Pressing the center of the slate, a glowing hologram appeared. They resembled floating cubes.

He moved them around until it formed a particular pattern and the surrounding environment blurred for a moment and returned to normal.

"Shielding has been lifted for twelve seconds. Readings are normal across the board. No unexpected shift from parameters. Proceed with extraction."

The second armored figure seized a spike that pierced a closed eye, this eye was directly beside the unsealed eye. And he began to slowly pull it out. " This is so very wrong." he whispered to himself.

"Hurry, soldier. The contamination threshold would be reached in fifty-two seconds."

With great effort, the weapon was pulled out. The spike wiggled around rapidly and soon turned red-hot, the surrounding water evaporated into steam and in a second it turned into ash.

The closed Eye shivered. It was awakening.

"Mission completed. Contamination Threshold?"

"Forty-five seconds."

"Excellent. Let's move out."

As the two armored figures zoomed out of the water, one of them glanced below him and saw two wide open eyes glaring at them.

They escaped from the water and proceeded to the glowing spot in the air, the first entered and as the second was about to enter and leave, a thought made him look back into the lake. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

He saw eyes after eyes beginning to open, even with the sealing spikes, still piercing through them, the eyelids were torn in two, but the eyes were still opening, he wanted to scream, but his training kicked in, and he counted the open eyes, he saw that twenty were already opened, and it still continued, he gasped in shock.

His mind abuzz with horror and trepidation, he stepped into the light.

The light vibrated and slowly faded away.

The armored figure appeared underneath a glowing rune, sparks of lights like fireflies rained all around him.

He was anxious to report what he had seen when he smelled something off. His mind went into overdrive as he pulled off his helmet, as he could not see with it outside a Nexus Zone.
