"Did something die down here?" Alex couldn't help but ask as a pungent smell assailed his nostrils.
The burly man leading the way remained silent for a moment before he replied. "Rats… all kinds."
Quickly grabbing the hidden meaning behind his words, Alex nodded with understanding while Nadia remained silent, her expression unreadable.
Upon reaching a certain point in the hall, Alex could faintly make out the sound of someone screaming coming from the destination they were heading towards.
Nadia seemed to have heard it too as her expression froze.
As they got within view of a steel door, the screams increased in wavelength, causing Nadia to instinctively grab Alex's hand.
Alex didn't reject her action as he kept on following the burly man.
It didn't take long before they got to the steel door.
The burly man knocked and a moment later, the screams within ceased like a lie.
An amiable voice was heard soon after. "Come in."
