While Adrian and Bennett split up to cover more ground, a semblance of calmness settled over Holden.

His gaze landed on a series of wires snaking along the wall.

An idea sparked in his mind.

Those wires powered the equipment in the ice chamber.

If he could trace them back to the source, perhaps he could find the electrical box and cut the power, effectively crippling Moss’ experiment.

Driven by intuition, Holden followed the wires until they met a metal box.

A glimmer of hope pierced through his despair, but it was short-lived.

The box was welded shut.

Holden tried to pry it open.

But even when he started to bleed from his fingernails, he couldn’t open it.

Faced with a dead end, he resorted to his gun.

Firing at the corners of the box, he finally chipped away at the metal.

He opened the box.

Inside, a chaotic tangle of colored wires awaited him.

Time seemed to stretch thin as his anxiety clawed at him.

Fearing he wouldn’t save Ariana in time, Holden ripped out a handful of wires in a desperate gamble.

Meanwhile, in the sterile confines of the ice chamber, Moss vibrated with barely contained excitement.

Five more minutes-that was all it would take to resurrect the woman he loved.

This time, he was certain he would succeed.

After twenty years of relentless research and countless failed experiments, he had found the perfect candidate, Ariana, whose biological data mirrored Emilia’s perfectly.

A laugh escaped Moss’ lips, his body trembling with anticipation.

Emilia wouldn’t be a corpse anymore; she would be reborn and be his wife forever.

“Sixty, fifty-nine.

.

” Moss muttered under his breath, his voice thick with anticipation.

But then, the room plunged into an abrupt darkness.

The rhythmic pulse of the machines keeping Emilia’s form suspended in time sputtered to a halt, replaced by an unsettling silence.

Moss stood frozen, a statue sculpted from disbelief.

He stumbled blindly in the darkness, tripping over cables before crashing to the floor.

The silence in the ice chamber was deafening as the machines that had preserved Emilia’s body shut down for the first time.

A crushing sense of doom washed over Moss.

Moss couldn’t believe and accept the results.

In the darkness, he scrambled up from the floor, frantically searching for the light switch.

But he failed.

In his panic, he nearly pushed Emilia over to the floor.

With no other options, he flung the door open, aiming to hit the main power switch.

But just as he stepped out, he was ambushed.

A gunshot pierced the stillness.

Moss dodged the bullet by a hair’s breadth and quickly drew his gun to return fire.
