CHAPTER 257: EXPLOSIVE GAMBLE
EXPLOSIVE GAMBLE
With the howls of the undead echoing ever closer, you fumble through your tattered backpack, fingers brushing against a crudely assembled explosive. It's a risky gamble, but it's your only hope to divert the horde and secure an escape. You swiftly rig the device, sweat trickling down your brow as the tunnel quakes violently overhead. With a final, deep breath, you set the explosive and dash toward the dim light, praying for a miracle.
A thunderous boom erupts behind you, the shockwave propelling you forward as debris rains down like a vengeful storm. The tunnel behind you becomes a cacophony of collapsing rock and enraged growls, the infected momentarily distracted by the chaos you've unleashed. You stagger into a cavern bathed in weak, flickering light, your heart pounding with both terror and relief.
As the dust settles, your eyes adjust to the gloom, revealing the source of the light—a small opening leading to another chamber. The air is thick with tension, each second precious as you consider your next move. You don't have long; the horde will soon regain its focus and resume the hunt.
Suddenly, a groan echoes from the chamber ahead, and a chilling realization dawns upon you. The stash isn't unguarded. You grip your weapon tighter, aware that the true test of survival is just beginning.
