CHAPTER 151: INTO THE BREACH
INTO THE BREACH
With determination overriding every instinct for self-preservation, you pivot back toward the survivor. Her eyes widen as you approach, recognizing the risk you're taking. The fissure looms like a chasm between you and salvation, but you refuse to leave her behind.
"Hold on!" you shout, extending your hand across the precarious gap. Rocks and dust cascade around you, kicked up by the Abomination's furious attempts to free itself. Its bellows echo in the confined space, a reminder of the very real peril at your back.
The survivor hesitates only for a second before lunging, her fingers cold as they clasp yours. You plant your feet, muscles screaming in protest as you haul her toward you. For a moment, the world narrows to just the two of you, caught in a suspended dance above oblivion.
With a final pull, she stumbles into your arms, and you both collapse onto the trembling ground. Relief is short-lived as another shudder reverberates through the tunnelβthis time accompanied by the ominous sound of cracking stone.
Before you can even catch your breath, the Abomination lets out a triumphant scream. You turn to see it wrenching free from the rubble, a grotesque silhouette against the frantic shadows. Its eyes burn with vengeance as it rises, unsteady but menacing.
There's no time to think. No time to plan. With the exit barely holding, you grab the survivor's hand and race toward the crumbling passage, the Abomination hot on your heels.
