CHAPTER 137: INTO THE MIDST OF CHAOS
INTO THE MIDST OF CHAOS
Your heart beats in your throat as you lock eyes with the terrified survivor, a young woman clutching a makeshift weapon. Her presence complicates things, but your survival instincts kick in. Without a second thought, you grab a piece of debris, flinging it across the room. The sound echoes ominously through the dusty space, capturing her attention.
"There's no time," you growl, pointing toward the broken window. "Run—draw them away!"
The woman hesitates, her eyes darting to the shattered glass and the chaos outside. The gunfire has intensified, and the moans of the approaching horde grow louder, a symphony of impending doom. She takes a shaky breath, understanding your unspoken command.
As she slips through the window, the seconds feel like an eternity. You hear her footsteps echo down the fire escape, followed by a chaotic symphony of gunfire, growls, and desperate screams. The horde's attention shifts—it worked. But guilt gnaws at you as you realize the grim reality of your decision.
Wasting no time, you limp toward the storeroom's other window, testing the locked latch with a grimace. It won't budge easily. You can hear the building groaning under the weight of the Abomination's fury below, every crash a reminder of its relentless pursuit.
Just as you begin to pry the window open, a deafening explosion rips through the air. Flames and debris propel outward from the side of the building where the young woman fled. Her sacrifice, or perhaps just a cruel twist of fate, has bought you precious moments, but the inferno now threatens to consume everything.
Sweat beads on your brow as the fire draws closer, smoke curling into the room. Time is running out, and your options are dwindling.
