CHAPTER 186: THE DESCENT INTO MADNESS
THE DESCENT INTO MADNESS
With the ceiling threatening to collapse and the footsteps growing louder, you make a split-second decision. You peer down through the haze of dust and debris and spot a survivor trapped amidst the chaos below. His cries for help are barely audible over the din of the undead, but they're enough to awaken a sense of duty within you.
Bracing yourself, you leap back down into the chaos. The fall is jarring, your knees protesting as you hit the ground. Instantly, you're surrounded by the staggering, snarling mass of zombies. You swing your weapon wildly, carving a path through the horde as you make your way to the trapped survivor. He's pinned beneath a piece of the fallen ladder, his eyes wide with terror as he fends off the grasping hands of the undead.
With adrenaline sharpening your focus, you kick the debris off him and haul him to his feet. He stumbles, but you drag him along, elbowing and shoving your way through the gnashing jaws that surround you. Your heart thunders in your chest, the weight of your decision pressing down on you as you fight for every inch of ground.
Just as you think you might make it to relative safety, you catch sight of a massive shadow moving in the periphery—an Abomination, drawn by the commotion. Its grotesque form lumbers into view, its eyes locked onto you and your companion. The ground shakes with its approach, the air thick with the scent of decay and death.
