Chapter 199: Chapter 199 - Karolinska institute

Erik, Astrid, and Victor were once again running across the cold Scandinavian landscape.

Victor had been given a stay of execution despite having already shared everything he knew because why rob yourself of a piece of perfectly capable cannon fodder? Since they were likely headed into a combat situation, Erik decided to keep him alive until they rescued Alice.

This time, they carried Emily and Emma on their backs since Emily wasn't unconscious, and Emma didn't need to spend energy healing Erik.

Forests, mountains, and partially frozen rivers flew by as they made their way towards their next destination, the once capital city of Sweden: Stockholm.

From Victor, they had learned two things: one, the Council's main base in Sweden was, perhaps surprisingly, not Stockholm but Kiruna, and two, Alice was locked up and currently suffering through experimentation in the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, one of the premier genetic research facilities on Earth.
