CHAPTER 340: EXPLOSIVE DISTRACTION
EXPLOSIVE DISTRACTION
With the situation growing dire, you fumble for the grenade clipped to your belt. The bear inches closer, its growls competing with the crackling flames. You and Ace exchange a quick nod, a silent agreement that this is your best – perhaps only – shot.
You yank the pin from the grenade and hurl it with all your might, aiming slightly to the side of the bear. The explosive arcs through the air, landing amidst the debris and dry brush. There’s a heart-stopping pause, then a deafening blast that shakes the very ground you stand on.
The explosion sends a shockwave through the forest, scattering debris and filling the air with smoke and dust. The bear rears back, disoriented, its terrifying roars momentarily drowned out by the chaos. The path is momentarily clear, but the flames are rising higher, threatening to engulf everything in their path.
Seizing the opportunity, you and Ace sprint for the gap in the trees, eyes stinging from the smoke. The bear, confused and startled, retreats briefly, giving you precious seconds to escape its deadly reach. But the flames are relentless, spreading faster than you can run, licking at your heels with burning intensity.
As you break through the smoky barrier, a new peril becomes evident. The ground ahead is unstable, a narrow crumbling ledge over a steep dropoff. Behind you, the bear regains its senses, bellowing with rage, while the inferno continues its ravenous advance.
Cliffhanger: The ledge quakes beneath your feet, threatening to give way at any moment. The bear charges once more, leaving you with no choice but to make a split-second decision. You're caught between the abyss and the advancing inferno – will you make it out alive?
