CHAPTER 92: THE NARROW ESCAPE
THE NARROW ESCAPE
Your heart races as you quickly survey the scene. Time is short, and the horde is closing in. You scramble to your feet, dragging the boy with you as your eyes dart to the debris around the tunnel entrance. Large chunks of concrete and twisted metal, remnants of the collapse, lie scattered about—perfect materials for a makeshift barricade.
"Help me with this!" you call to the survivors, pointing to the largest pieces. Together, you and the group push and pull, stacking debris against the opening. Every sound, every breath is a countdown, the moans of the advancing zombies growing louder with each second.
Sweat drips into your eyes, but you push the discomfort aside. The barricade is far from perfect, but it might just hold long enough. The first zombie slams into the barrier, fingers clawing through crevices, mouth snapping hungrily. You step back, ensuring the boy is behind you, as more zombies pile against the obstruction, their sheer weight threatening to topple it.
"Move! Into the woods!" you command. The group doesn't need to be told twice. They break into a desperate sprint toward the dense forest, the only place offering any semblance of safety now. You hear the barricade groan ominously behind you, but dare not look back.
Adrenaline pumps through your veins as you run, the boy's hand clutched firmly in yours. The forest looms ahead, shadows stretching ominously between the trees, offering both cover and danger. You pause for a breath, scanning the terrain for a plan, any plan to evade the relentless horde.
The sound of the barricade finally giving way echoes through the air, signaling the zombies' renewed pursuit. They're coming, and they're coming fast.
