Suddenly, as if they had sensed his presence, all three turned sharply in his direction. Stan froze, his breath caught in his throat. What startled him even more was that he recognized two of them. They were Eurus and Pulse—members of the legendary Team Alpha. The third person, however, was unfamiliar to him.
For a brief moment, hope flickered in his chest. Did they come to save the survivors? But that hope quickly turned to dread as he noticed their expressions. They weren't just scanning for threats—they looked ready to eliminate him.
"There's something there," Pulse said, her voice calm but laced with suspicion, as she continued tearing through the evolved animals with precise strikes.
"I know," Eurus replied, his gaze fixed in Stan's direction.
