Revenge After Death



"Mom, do you want to get in?" asked Ashton.

"Do you know all the passwords?" I asked with surprise.

Ashton entered the password and gazed at me with longing as if desiring praise. I approached him, gently rubbed his head, and affirmatively praised, "You're truly awesome."

"Mommy, I also know the password. If Ashton can do it, I can do it too!" Xandra exclaimed with her innocent voice while being held by Steven.

I reached out to carry Xandra, holding her in my arms and locking eyes with Steven. What should we do with these two children? Should we take them in as our own?

Steven looked at me with a serious expression. "Being a mother without the physical pain of childbirth is pretty good. The last time you experienced a miscarriage... it terrified me."

The last time, I experienced a miscarriage and lost the baby. It was a very frightening experience for him. "But..." I took a deep breath.

"If you desire to conceive a baby naturally, I'm also willing to put in the effort," Steven replied, his gaze unwavering.

I was speechless and filled with an overwhelming urge to kick him. Wasn't he afraid? Why was I feeling terrified of two five-year-olds...

After the password-protected door opened, I entered the room with Xandra in my arms. The room was nearly identical to theirs, adorned with photos on the wall and children's photographs on the table.

"They're all dead. They were disposed of and most likely thrown directly into the sea," Ashton said calmly.

They appeared to be accustomed to it at such a young age.

"Did those villains force you to... kill each other?" My voice quivered slightly.

Ashton shook his head. "Survival of the fittest. This is the law of nature."Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The experimenter used a "survival of the fittest" method by having consecutive games or tests. The winners lived and the losers died. Anyway, the cruise ship sailed in the deep sea, where the endless waters could consume everything.

"Stephany, listen! There's noise in this room," Yara exclaimed as she approached a room.

I carried Xandra over. Ashton whispered urgently, "Don't open this door. There are many large, uncontrolled dogs here. They use them to study biological weapons and then send them to war zones."

Ashton seemed to know everything. He was almost like the Wikipedia of the laboratory.

I looked at Ashton in surprise. The range of profits that this organization was involved in was astonishingly vast. They were willing to do anything, regardless of human ethics. They seemed completely unafraid of facing retribution or karma.

There was a peephole on the door. Eason opened it curiously to peer inside. Suddenly, he smelled a strong unpleasant odor, and a dark figure hit the peephole with a bang!

Eason screamed in fright and almost fell, but Joel grabbed him by the collar. "Curiosity killed the cat. I thought you always mentioned that you'd never be that cat?"

Eason turned pale with fear and looked at Steven and me in horror. "What the hell are those things? Don't

let them escape, or else everyone will die."

Eason's words were a wake-up call for me. The members of Genome Society had to know what was inside. The Rebels had seized control of the entire cruise. If the members of Genome Society were coerced into releasing these creatures, then everyone onboard would be in grave danger.

"Should we destroy them?" I asked quietly.

"Mommy, big dogs are cute," whispered Xandra.

Eason was left speechless, wondering why she had described the creatures as cute.

"Exit the cabin and seal the entrance," Steven instructed as he led us out.

As we ascended the ladder, I caught a glimpse of a mysterious black shadow darting across the cabin. I was immediately alerted.

"There are still people on this floor." My gaze fixed on the empty end, the lights flickering.

Several sounds were heard. Suddenly, that door was opened. A whimpering sound emerged as a big black fierce dog stepped out and stood in the corridor, eyeing us. Its fur was shiny, and its eyes glinted with a sense of menace and aggression.

"Run!" I gasped, assessed the situation, and instantly climbed up the ladder.

Soon, a group of black dogs quickly emerged. They stopped behind the leader, and all of them stared at us. Suddenly, they all charged toward us.

At that critical moment, Joel swiftly pushed Eason up the ladder. "Hurry!"
