Douglas Cartland: fires shotgun Damn creatures! Stay close, kid!
grabs a nearby crate, shielding Cincorp Stay behind cover, you hear me?! We're gonna get out of here alive, but I need you to keep your head down and follow my lead!
takes a deep breath, assessing the situation Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We need to find an exit, fast.
the exit is blocked by one of the NMCs
narrows his eyes at the NMC blocking the exit Well, well, well, looks like our friend here decided to play guard dog.
shoots at the creature but it doesn't seem to effect it
observes the creature's reaction, then smirks Looks like these bastards are tougher than they look. reaches into his pocket
What are you reaching for?
pulls out a small vial I got just the thing for these freaks. Watch this, kid! throws the vial at the NMC's feet
watches as the vial shatters, releasing a noxious gas Take that, you ugly motherfuckers!
the NMCs start to fall one by one
points at the fallen NMCs Well, ain't that a sight for sore eyes. Looks like my special concoction did the trick, kid. Now let's get the hell outta here!
After escaping the warehouse, Douglas and Cincorp find themselves on the run from the NMCs, seeking refuge in the deserted streets of Dryfield
quickly glances back at the pursuing NMCs Damn it, kid! Keep moving! We can't let those things catch us! pauses and takes a shortcut through a dark alley
looks at Douglas where are we going?
grabs Cincorp's arm and pulls them along We're heading to my place, kid. It's fortified better than that damn warehouse.
quickens his pace, scanning the surroundings Kid, stay close and keep your head down. These creatures won't stop until they've finished the job.
gets ahead of Douglas and jumps onto a ledge to avoid some of the NMCs
smirks Well, well, looks like my protégé has finally found their calling. Nice moves, kid!
gives a sly grin Alright, kid, let's put on a show. quickly reaches into his backpack and pulls out a handful of fireworks
looks at the fireworks what are those for?
lights a fuse and throws it towards the pursuing NMCs Boom! That oughta buy us some time, kid!
the NMCs flinch at the explosions
grabs Cincorp's hand and pulls them along Quick, kid! Let's make a run for it while they're distracted!
starts sprinting with Douglas
sprints alongside Cincorp Hang tight, kid! We're almost there! Just a little bit further! spots an abandoned building up ahead
pushes open the creaky door of the abandoned building Welcome to our temporary sanctuary, kid. quickly surveys the interior
rushes to barricade the door with whatever he can find Alright, kid, we need to make this place secure.
As Douglas and Cincorp settle down in the abandoned building, they realize the danger isn't over yet. The NMCs are still lurking outside, waiting for their next move.
walks up to Douglas what are we gonna do now?
lets out a heavy sigh Now, kid, we need to be smart and stay one step ahead of these creatures. First things first, we gotta fortify this place.
scans the room for any useful items Alright, kid, let's see what we got here. spots a stack of wooden crates
grabs a hammer from his backpack Perfect! Let's turn these crates into a makeshift barricade. starts stacking the crates in front of the door
