Chapter 572: Just when she thought it was a hallucination, she heard it again, even more urgent this time, louder, more desperate, accompanied by a hurried shuffle of footsteps. The scream seemed to be coming from downstairs.
Kallie had been living peacefully here for a month. Their vigilance toward her had noticeably decreased, allowing her more freedom of movement within the building.
Her room was located on the third floor, and if she lifted the curtain, she could see everything happening outside. Kallie's actions were impulsive.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore she could think, she was already standing barefoot at the window. To calm herself, she gently touched her belly. Then, slowly, she lifted the curtain.
The night air was crisp and clean, devoid of pollution. The moon shone brightly, illuminating the streets without the need for artificial light.
In the darkness, Kallie's pupils dilated, and she began to tremble slightly.
Below, she saw several elderly people in white gowns stumbling downstairs. They resembled test and experimental subjects, their heads shaved regardless of gender.
These elderly individuals appeared to have lost control of their bodies, their postures a disturbing blend of unnatural angles and lurches. They were driven by sheer desperation, trying to escape at any cost.
One of them glanced up and locked eyes with Kallie through the window.
At that moment, Kallie saw the helplessness in his clear, innocent eyes. It resembled the gaze of a frightened child. Instead of calling for help, he began to sob desperately. His companion pulled him along, trying to force him to keep running.
But they hadn't run far. With a series of sharp sounds, all the escapees fell to the ground.

As the eerie melody edged nearer, Kallie's gaze followed the sound, slowly unraveling the identity of its source. It was Griffin! He was strolling, holding a firearm in his hand. The cold dead bodies at his feet seemed to hold no significance for him.
Kallie's legs felt weak, nearly giving way as she struggled to remain upright. She had never seen a dead body so closely before.
Griffin noticed Kallie and looked up, offering a slight smile. "Miss Nixon, did I startle you? I apologize. Considering that this building is the nearest to the sea, it's the preferred route for those attempting to escape." Your escape begins with gVlnov_lsKallie, who had always maintained her composure, was momentarily speechless. She mumbled a few times before finally finding her voice. "Why did you have to kill them?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized how foolish the question was.
Griffin seemed amused and chuckled. His handsface, m adorned with a smile, sent a shiver down Kallie's spine.
"Because they were disobedient. This is how we deal with those who defy our rules, While i'm not concerned about you witnessing these things, it's not good for your baby."
