Everyone was huddled in the cramped room. It still bore the marks of a fire, with black soot floating in the air. A large spiderweb hung in a corner of the ceiling.
About half an hour later, Officer Graham, fully equipped, opened the door a crack to check the situation outside. However, the moment he did, a swarm of mosquitoes flooded in.
Quick as a flash, Evelyn Ford sprayed insecticide, driving the insects back five meters. Another thick layer of mosquito corpses coated the floor.
Evelyn Ford quickly slammed the door shut. The group was stunned into silence by the swarm outside.
"Oh my god, there are so many... It's triggering my trypophobia." Serena Lynch scratched her arm, her face deathly pale. Annie, who was hiding in her embrace, was also badly frightened.
"Don't go out for now," Evelyn said. "The room next door is empty. If you need to use the restroom, go over there, and take the insecticide with you."
