The creature immediately turns around, and begins searching for the source of sound.

Sebastian held his breath, and slowly navigated through the road, using the car wrecks as a shield so he didn't get caught.

The bunker's entrance is near the beast. So he had to be careful.

Moreover, he cannot ask for help from Abigail because the signal provider has already been rusted and corroded.

As such, Sebastian can only pray and hope he didn't get noticed by that 'thing'.

As Sebastian crouches slowly between cars, he has finally seen the bunker entrance. He then proceeds to go in, but as he slowly walks through the door, he accidentally stepped on a metal debris, causing loud noises. The creature spotted him, and then pinned him down.

"ABIGAIL!!! HELP ME!!!" Sebastian helplessly screams as the creature slowly pulls out an injection needle-like thing from its mouth.

"ABIGAIL!!!!!" Sebastian used all his power to scream, but no one came.

Finally, Sebastian closed his eyes waiting for his death to be quick.

Suddenly, a loud car siren went off and the creature threw Sebastian on the ground, to find the sound's source.

Sebastian hurriedly opens the bunker door and pants heavily.

"So, how's your mission?" Abigail asked.

"Sorry..." Sebastian apologized

"For what?" Bella asked.

"The silicone has already been dissolved..." Sebastian continued.

Alan, who heard it, spat his coffee.

"WHAT?!" Alan got shocked.

"No way... Is the rain too strong to dissolve the silicone?" Abigail asked.

"I... I don't know." Sebastian replied.

"Well, looks like we don't have hope." Bella said hopelessly.

Alan, then went to the laboratory to grab more coffee.

As he went to the lab, he grabbed a coffee pack and an opened jar of sugar.

As expected, he fell down, and accidentally spilled the sugar on the corrosive water, which made the water dries.

"Oh? Aha!" Alan got an idea.

"ABBY!!!!! COME HERE GIRL!!!" Alan screams so loud Sebastian jolted.

Abigail came rushing through the research room and saw the corrosive water completely dried out.

"Huh?!" Abigail asked.

"So i just came to grab a coffee, and accidentally slipped on a conveniently placed book. The sugar flung and landed into the water, and it dissolved!" Alan explained.

"Wait, stay here" Alan went outside to grab the rain sample.

Alan went outside, to see the same creature roaming around, and he casually accumulated raindrops and took it back inside.

Alan came back inside, and poured some sugar.

The water evaporated.

"Looks like we've got a solution..."
