CHAPTER 161: THE CONTROL PANEL GAMBLE
THE CONTROL PANEL GAMBLE
You dash toward the flickering control panel, heart pounding in your chest like a war drum. Dust and debris swirl around you, mingling with the acrid smoke from the Abomination's burning hide. The survivor's cries fade into the background as you focus on the task at hand—activating the facility's defenses.
Kneeling beside the half-buried box, you wipe away layers of grime from the panel, revealing a console of blinking lights and switches. Your fingers fly over the controls, deciphering the faded symbols and ancient technology. You press a series of buttons, hoping to awaken the dormant security systems.
A deep rumble resonates through the ground, momentarily overshadowing the Abomination's roars. Eyes wide, you glance back to see metal turrets emerging from hidden compartments in the surrounding walls. They whir to life, targeting the fiery beast with mechanical precision.
The turrets unleash a barrage of bullets, tearing into the Abomination's flesh. It reels back, a howl of pain and rage escaping its maw as it struggles to maintain its footing on the shifting ground. The earth continues to split wider beneath its massive weight, a gaping chasm threatening to consume it entirely.
Amidst the chaos, a chilling realization hits you: the facility's defenses might not discriminate between friend and foe. The turrets could easily turn on the survivors once the immediate threat is neutralized.
With seconds ticking away and lives hanging in the balance, you must decide how to proceed as the Abomination teeters on the brink of the abyss.
