CHAPTER 118: BRIDGE OF SACRIFICE
BRIDGE OF SACRIFICE
Your heart pounds as you scan the area, spotting debris scattered amidst the rocks. Without a moment's hesitation, you gather planks and stones, your hands moving with frantic urgency. Every second counts as the abominations' snarls grow louder, their shadows flickering ominously against the canyon walls.
The rickety bridge sways in the wind, creaking like an old ship in a storm. You secure the planks with whatever you can findโbits of rope, rusted nails, even twisted metal. The bridge groans under the weight, but holds, for now. Sweat beads on your forehead; the risk is immense, but you're determined to give the next survivor a fighting chance.
As you fasten the last piece, a chilling howl echoes behind you, closer than ever. You turn to see the first of the monstrous figures emerging from the darkness, their grotesque forms silhouetted against the pale moonlight. Panic surges through you, but you crush it down. Thereโs no time to lose.
Taking a deep breath, you sprint onto the bridge, feeling each plank strain and bend beneath your feet. The abyss below yawns wide, eager to claim you if you falter. With one final glance back at the fortified path you've created, you make your way across, praying it holds long enough for others to follow.
But as you reach the other side, an ominous rumble shakes the ground. The rock face behind you splinters, massive chunks breaking away. Dust and debris fill the air, obscuring the path youโve just crossed.
Will the bridge endure the chaos, or will it too crumble into the void? Your heart skips a beat as you realize that the fate of those who follow now hangs by a thread.
