Part 2/8:
As they ring in the New Year, Anna's night of celebration is abruptly interrupted by Morozov's call for a special mission. The Kola Superdeep Borehole, a scientific drilling site, has reported unexplained incidents involving disappearances and strange noises. With Anna’s swift development of the vaccine putting her in the spotlight, Morozov entices her with the offer of leading the Military Biological Defense Institute in exchange for her help.
Arrival at the Borehole
Anna arrives at the facility, accompanied by a military squadron led by Major Sergey Mikheev. Almost immediately, they face their first hurdle—a scientist attempts to escape, detonating a grenade as he reaches a helicopter. The tension sets the tone for their expedition, revealing hints of chaos that lie ahead.
