CHAPTER 183: THE LEAP OF FATE
THE LEAP OF FATE
With adrenaline as your guide, you make the snap decision to use the falling debris to your advantage. You time it perfectly, leaping onto the massive chunk as it breaks free from the ceiling. The world blurs as you're catapulted through the air, the ladder rushing to meet you.
The impact is bone-jarring as you collide with the ladder, but you manage to wrap one arm around its cold, metallic rungs, your other arm flailing for a secure grip. Below you, the zombies are momentarily stunned by the debris crash, but their delay is fleeting. They resume their relentless pursuit, clawing at the base of the ladder.
Your grip is precarious, your muscles screaming in protest as you pull yourself up, one rung at a time. The ladder sways ominously, threatening to detach with your weight. Each step up is a battle against gravity and fear.
Above, you see a faint light filtering through a hatch, your salvation just out of reach. As you lunge for the next rung, a sudden crack reverberates through the air. The sound of metal straining under pressure. You glance down to see the lower section of the ladder bending dangerously, the mounting bolts loosening from the wall.
You have only moments before the entire structure gives way, and your mind races with possibilities.
