Chapter 533:

Autumn leaves crunched under Bryan’s shoes as he navigated the overgrown path. Smoke curled from his lips as he puffed on one cigarette after another, flicking the butts aside.

Each discarded cigarette butt was a ticking time bomb, its ember igniting the tinder-dry undergrowth.

Smoke soon began to rise, carried by the breeze through the silent woods.

In the heart of the forest stood an abandoned chemical factory. A sheer cliff face loomed behind it. The air there had once carried a faint, acrid tang of untreated wastewater that had poisoned the land.

The factory had been deserted for years, and while the air had cleared, the lingering scent of chemicals still remained inside.

Bryan reached the entrance of the factory, his gaze fixed on the menacing helicopter perched on the rooftop.
