Tonight was far from ideal for an operation—the cold was biting, and the snowfall relentless. Hunk had been deployed to investigate reports of a bioweapon sighting, said to be carrying a vaccine Umbrella was desperate to keep out of the public’s hands. Not that Hunk cared; his real objective was securing a sample, and this mission was just another step toward that goal. He rarely questioned his orders—he was known for seeing a mission through, no matter the cost.
But this one was proving challenging. The frigid air was beginning to fog up the red lenses of his gas mask, and even with his tactical gear, the cold was gnawing at him. Still, he pressed on—he wasn’t the type to back down. Unfortunately, he had lost sight of the target. The creature’s tracks were already vanishing beneath the fresh layer of snow, making it nearly impossible to follow. That’s when he spotted it: a warehouse he didn’t recognize, tucked away in this forgotten part of town.
“You’ve got to be in there…” he muttered under his breath, picking up his pace, boots crunching over the icy ground. With his pistol raised, he approached cautiously, pushing the door open with a loud, creaking groan. As soon as he stepped inside, the door slammed shut behind him. Hunk didn’t flinch. Instead, he moved forward slowly, eyes scanning the dim interior as he began his sweep of the unknown structure.
