The second timeline, Federation Military Base.
The sound of military boots echoed through the prison corridors, making a heavy and regular 'tap tap' sound.
At this moment, the federal prison had become a ghost city, with each cell void of prisoners and the iron doors ajar, creating an eerie atmosphere.
The bodies strewn across the hallway floor had been there for some time, judging by their rigidity. All were dressed in Federation uniforms, each face frozen in surprise and abrupt cessation, indicating how suddenly they had met their deaths.
Among these bodies stood a person in military boots.
He had no face; his features seemed to have been erased, with no eyebrows, no nose bridge, just two eye sockets and nostrils, and his lips stitched together. From the back, he looked like a normal person, but when he turned around, he resembled the protagonist of a Western horror film, striking terror into the viewer.
