completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood poured from the wound like a broken dam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He groaned continuously, his voice filled with unbearable agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alfred’s condition was no better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ghastly palm print covered his face, tearing away flesh and exposing shattered bone beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood streamed from his eyes, nose, and mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the faint groans escaping his lips, one might have thought he was already dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet despite the horrifying scene, Thoren remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked past them without even glancing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step by step, he approached the central jeep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re leaving,\" he said plainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if nothing extraordinary had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he had not just orchestrated a massacre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers exchanged uneasy glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly turned and returned to their positions, silently following his command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, Thoren was no longer just an

brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, on the person who looked like her brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her, the man before her was no longer the same Thoren she had known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt like a stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a devil wearing her brother’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you not coming?\"

slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, slowly, she dragged her feet toward the jeep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m dead, she cried silently in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the military convoy roared to life and departed from the Hollow Trust headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It drove out of the district and headed toward the outskirts of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after the convoy left, a small crowd began to gather in front of the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curiosity and fear drew them closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My goodness... they butchered everyone...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could anyone do something like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... this is pure evil...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd stared at the building in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people covered their mouths in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others turned away, unable to look at the carnage inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, police sirens echoed in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several patrol cars arrived at the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading them was a middle-aged woman with a stern expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped out of her vehicle and frowned deeply as she approached the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell happened here?\" she muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick stench of blood hung heavily in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the police arrived, the crowd quickly retreated, giving them space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officers cautiously entered the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they stepped inside, they froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shock spread across their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene before them was beyond anything they had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Severed arms and legs were scattered across the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internal organs lay exposed, splattered in every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls were stained with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floor was soaked in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire building looked like a slaughterhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged officer stood still for a moment, her expression darkening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she first received the report about an attack on the Hollow Trust headquarters, she had assumed it was a minor conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps a gang dispute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, she realized the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not a simple attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a massacre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A complete and deliberate extermination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who did they offend? she wondered silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoever had done this was not just sending a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were making a statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single corpse was intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every victim had been brutally mutilated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many were barely recognizable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The level of violence displayed here...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was beyond anything ordinary criminals were capable of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secure the perimeter,\" she ordered firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And begin a full investigation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice echoed through the blood-soaked lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, far from the scene the news of the massacre spread rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a short time, it reached the upper echelons of Suncrest City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unknown to the public, many influential individuals and organizations had already begun making their moves.\u003C\u002Fp>",1055,"2026-06-03T10:41:31.767Z","2026-06-03T10:41:38.603Z",1,"novelbin.me","24bd6c69d56df22652b6a79986028aee3e1f70403d06069af0d9e31f9385c135","global-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-chapter-186","global-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-chapter-184",326,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-cover.jpg"]
