Reidar burst through the hospital's shattered main doors as soon as he heard that roar.
The stench grew stronger as he went deeper, and he finally recognized it. It wasn't just rot—though something was definitely rotting here.
It was a mix of damp soil, decaying plants, and something acrid that clawed at the back of his throat.
Besides, as Reidar got in, he noticed there was much more vegetation than on the outside. It was basically a greenhouse gone wild.
Vines snaked across every surface, prying apart concrete and twisting metal support beams. Sometimes they acted as support themselves.
Roots, thick as his arm and even more, had buckled the linoleum floors, turning the corridors into a treacherous, uneven landscape.
Reidar followed the sounds of combat deeper inside until he found the source of the chaos in the hospital's main atrium.
