CHAPTER 96: BRIDGE OF BROKEN PROMISES
BRIDGE OF BROKEN PROMISES
You focus on the immediate threat. With the fire closing in and the bridge your only way out, instinct takes over. The charred zombie staggers closer, its skin sizzling as blisters form and pop. You hesitate only for a heartbeat before charging forward. Your body slams into the zombie with full force, sending both of you teetering dangerously at the edge of the ravine. With a final shove, it topples over, letting out a guttural moan as it plummets into the darkness below.
The bridge sways again, as if protesting your decision, and you know there's no more time to waste. You take a deep breath, then step onto the ancient planks, each one groaning under your weight. The cables creak ominously, the wind adding an eerie melody to the chaotic symphony of destruction behind you. Halfway across, the bridge shudders, and you're forced to grab hold of a cable to steady yourself.
Your heart skips a beat as you realize the fire has spread to the bridge's entrance, flames licking eagerly at the structure. The heat is intense, almost unbearable. In the distance, the cries from your group are faint, muffled by the crackling inferno. Panic sets in as you realize that the bridge might not hold for much longer.
Suddenly, a loud snap echoes through the air—one of the cables has given way. The bridge lurches violently, throwing you off balance. You cling desperately to the remaining cables, your feet dangling into the abyss. The world spins around you, chaos and destruction engulfing every sense.
