The base was in turmoil. The Reclaimers' coordinated assault had thrown Drake's forces into disarray, and his lieutenants were frantically trying to reestablish control. Leo's team, having disabled the base's command center, now turned their focus to finding Drake himself.
Owen was at his laptop, hacking into the base's internal systems. "I'm tracking Drake's movements. It looks like he's heading toward the lower levels. There's a secret lab down there—must be where he's been conducting his experiments."
Leo nodded. "Then that's where we're going. If Drake's hiding there, he's probably got a plan. We need to be ready for anything."
Sofia led the way through the maze of corridors, her senses alert for any sign of ambush. The base was a labyrinth, with every turn offering the potential for danger. Evelyn stayed close, her healing powers ready in case of injuries, while Owen kept them informed of any security risks.
