CHAPTER 282: THE MUTANT'S RETURN
THE MUTANT'S RETURN
You crouch deeper into the dumpster, gripping your weapon with a determination that battles against the oppressive smell. With each passing second, the city's eerie silence stretches your nerves taut. Your plan is simple: ambush the mutant if it dares to return. The seconds feel like hours.
The ground trembles slightly, a telltale sign that the beast is on its way back. You steady your breathing, trying to maintain focus. As the mutant's snarls grow closer, you prepare yourself for the moment of truth. Through the sliver of an opening, you catch sight of its towering silhouetteโa grotesque parody of what was once human.
Suddenly, it pauses, head cocked to the side, sensing something. Your heart skips a beat as it turns directly toward the dumpster, massive arms flexing with unnatural strength. The tension is unbearable, and just as you prepare to leap into action, the mutant lunges forward, its claws ripping the dumpster's lid clean off with a metallic screech.
You're exposed, the beast looming over you with eyes full of rage and hunger. Yet, in that split second of exposure, you have a chance to actโa moment to either fight for survival or flee.
