The Uncontrollable Phenomenon

Now the planet has become truly dangerous. Seas and oceans seem to rise up to the sky, washing humanity out of its shelters.

Near the Northern Mariana Islands, a giant whirlpool appears—the first sign of an approaching cataclysm. It paves the way into a cyclopean flooded city. A team of researchers descends into the ocean depths, not realizing that a true horror of the abyss is watching their every step.

While the great flood is expected, a sharp-tongued banker decides to lock his own family in the bank’s vault. Behind this—months of preparation, flashes of madness, and piles of inappropriate jokes. But what banker wouldn’t try to outsmart his neighbor?

Meanwhile, on Gogland Island, a biochemist is working relatively quietly. He studies how the brain functions outside the body. Materials are always in short supply, and one day his collection of animal brains is augmented by a find from the skull of a deep-sea creature. The new “specimen” won’t settle for little: it needs food from other brains. And preferably, from human ones.

And all of this is only a prelude to hell.
