When Paige Summers and Ben returned to the cave entrance, Vincent Vaughn and Chester Lincoln were already waiting anxiously. They were about to send one person down to provide support while the other stayed behind to guard the entrance and block any Zombies that might try to get in.
Seeing the two of them emerge unharmed, they couldn't help but breathe a heavy sigh of relief.
After what she had been through, Paige Summers wasn't in the mood to talk. She just shook her head, indicating there was no danger.
As they came up, Ben was already filling the cavern and the tunnel with earth as he moved. All that was left was to fill in the outermost section.
Once that was done, he even deliberately covered the area with some old soil to hide any signs of digging. Only then did Paige Summers feel one of her worries put to rest.
She had finally fulfilled her promise to the loyal dog.
There was one more thing: her promise to Ben to absorb the Crystal Core.
