Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 1604

Congratulations for what? He had indeed coveted that badge once, but now he didn't even reach out to touch it.

Instead, Phil toyed with the badge in his palm for a moment before solemnly pinning it to Philip's chest.

Suddenly, Philip felt like he was suffocating; his heart weighed down as if something was trying to burst out of its cage.

He took a deep breath, glanced down at the badge on his chest, and swatted Phil's hand away. Phil shot him a wary look, then stood up and headed towards the door.

After the door closed, Philip felt a wave of irritation engulf him, a kind of restlessness he couldn't put into words.

He took another deep breath, pulled out a cigarette from aside and lit it, just as a roar erupted from outside. It was like the roar of a beast.

He flicked the ash, got up and walked to the hallway to investigate. The hallway was in chaos. Subject 8 had been released, and gunshots filled the air.

Apart from the gunfire, a white mist was rising, spreading rapidly and soon the space was shrouded in a foggy haze.

The researchers in the hallway panicked, curling up in corners, fearing they would become the target of the lethal weapon. He had a particular disdain for researchers; at least ten had perished under its wrath.

Without the protection of glass walls, the unarmed researchers were nothing but ants in his eyes.

Some began desperately trying to run elsewhere, but every direction was more chaotic than the last.

Ian had thought to flee with the crowd, but then he heard Walter's voice.

"What in the hell is this?!"

Normally, each compartment was secured with a code lock, but this weapon was unstoppable - it simply smashed the locks with its fists, like an untamed beast.

A glint appeared in Ian's eyes, and he instinctively moved closer to Subject 8. Walter was shoved back a few steps by the weapon, never having seen anyone so strong, especially someone who looked to be just a teenager.

"Bang bang bang!"

The weapon tore through countless locks, causing sparks as wires short-circuited, and soon a fire broke out. Ian grabbed Walter and tossed him a handkerchief.

"Cover your nose."
