The portals opened to four general areas, where outposts got set up. North, west, south, and east.
North referred to the northern part of Europe, the Scandinavian Peninsula's top. The area was full of higher Class monsters, while its geography was a mountainous tundra with fields and forests covered in snow.
Lucy and Will led the first expeditions there. Despite having intel on the area, facing the high-class monsters was a real headache to deal with.
For better coverage, they both lived in separate outposts, so they entered the lab through different portals.
Neither changed much in the past year. Will still had his short, dark blue hair, but now the beginnings of a beard grew over his jaw.
His dark blue eyes seemed to light up as it scanned the surroundings and eventually landed on Vicky.
He tried to scoop up the not so little girl, but before he could, a black-haired, deathly pale woman was already hugging her.
