CHAPTER 142: SHADOWS OF SACRIFICE
SHADOWS OF SACRIFICE
With a swift, heartless motion, you shove the teenage girl aside, her small form tumbling to the ground as fear flares in her eyes. The shamblers, momentarily distracted by her movement, turn their decaying heads, drawn by the promise of prey.
You dash through the narrow opening created by the grenade's blast, your heart pounding in time with the relentless footsteps of the undead behind you. The alley is a claustrophobic gauntlet, walls leaning in as if the apocalypse itself is trying to crush you.
The bandit follows closely, his gunfire echoing off the crumbling bricks, a sporadic thunder against the moan of the horde. "Move it!" his voice cuts through the chaos, urging speed over hesitation.
Behind you, the girl's scream pierces the air, a haunting reminder of your choice. You push forward, guilt gnawing at the edges of your determination. The alley twists sharply, revealing an old, rusted gate hanging ajar. Freedom lies beyond, a tantalizing promise of safety.
But as you sprint towards the gate, the ground beneath you shifts, a grating sound of metal on stone. The pavement collapses suddenly, swallowing you into darkness. The world spins as you fall, dust choking your breathless gasp. You hit the ground hard, pain flaring through your body.
The dim light from above reveals your predicament—a small, subterranean tunnel, claustrophobic and slick with age. Somewhere in the darkness, a low growl echoes, the sound of something not quite human, yet unmistakably dangerous.
