Ethan activated his Domain of the Dead ability, phasing straight through the walls and slipping into the Awakener camp. The guards patrolling the area remained blissfully unaware of his presence.
Not far from where he stood, a Genesis Biotech tent caught his attention.
From inside, he could hear voices.
"Don't sleep… don't sleep… whatever you do, don't fall asleep…"
Curious, Ethan moved closer and peeked inside. A young man with bloodshot eyes was slumped against a cot, clutching a weapon tightly. He was muttering to himself, clearly trying to stay awake.
The guy looked like he'd been through hell—probably still shaken from the nightmare they'd all endured the night before. The trauma had left him too terrified to close his eyes.
His teammates nearby weren't faring much better. They all looked equally exhausted, their faces pale and drawn.
