CHAPTER 70: PATH OF PERIL
PATH OF PERIL
You keep your distance from the growing inferno, the heat brushing against your skin like a warning. The tunnel looms ahead, dark and uninviting, but it's your best chance for survival. As the fire roars behind you, you inch forward cautiously, eyes straining to pierce the shadows. Every step echoes ominously, reminding you of the fragile peace you've temporarily bought with flames.
Suddenly, a low groan reverberates through the tunnel, a sound unmistakably human. You freeze, heart skipping a beat, as a figure emerges from the shadows. It's a survivor, battered and bruised, clearly having endured a battle of their own. They stagger towards you, desperation etched on their face. "Help... please," they croak, voice barely audible over the crackling fire.
But time is of the essence. The fire is spreading fast, and your mind races with choices. Assist this stranger and risk your life, or prioritize your own safety and press on? As you weigh your options, the tunnel's ceiling shudders ominously, flakes of dust falling like a warning. Any delay could be fatal, yet abandoning someone in need gnaws at your conscience.
A distant rumble shakes the ground, and your eyes dart back to the inferno. The barricade is collapsing, and the zombies, though deterred, are not defeated. The clock is ticking, and every second counts.
