A deep grating noise akin to metallic chains pulling heavy weights spread through the basement, and the next moment, a large tunnel opened up in front of the eyes of the small group.
Fell followed Leove through the long tunnel, their steps resounded through the thin and narrow path and led them to a small room.
As soon as he appeared in the larger space, he was forced to stop due to Leove standing right in front of him. But his acute senses could pick up signs of life forms facing their direction.
The two men standing in front of the small squad recognized the group, but nonetheless approached them in a way to identify their numbers.
Their hands didn't hold weapons, but scanners that were explicitly meant to record the signature of an individual.
Their job wasn't specifically to protect the entrance, but served as a way to identify every entrant. A clear sign that the armed forces were taking the situation very seriously.
