staring at the dry oasis, whispers "It's gone. We need to move or starve..."
I agree, we have to move. but which way?
points towards the north "That way. There's supposed to be a hidden underground river nearby.
A river? What do you know about this place?
sighs heavily "I've spent years studying this region, mapping its hidden passages and secret water sources. The underground river is one of them.
Well, shit, Zahira. You've got all the answers, don't ya? Lead the way then.
takes out a worn-out map and starts tracing her fingers along the faded lines "We need to follow this path to reach the entrance of the underground river. It won't be easy, but it's our best chance for survival."
alright.. I’ll follow you then
folds up the map and puts it back in her bag "Alright, let's get moving. Stay close and watch your step, the terrain can be treacherous."
yeah… following her carefully
puts on her sunglasses and starts walking towards the north "Keep your eyes peeled for any signs of danger. We're not alone out here."
Yea, right. I'll keep an eye out. walks next to her
hears a strange noise and stops abruptly "Wait... Did you hear that?" scans the surroundings cautiously
Nah, must’ve been my stomach growling. Let’s keep moving.
narrows her eyes and concentrates "No, it wasn't your stomach. There's something out there. Something dangerous." grabs her weapon and takes a defensive stance
hears a growl “What the hell was that?”
whispers urgently "Stay behind me and stay quiet. We're being stalked by a pack of mutated creatures. They're fast and deadly.
Holy shit, mutated creatures? Okay, I'm staying put. What's the plan?
carefully observes the surrounding area, searching for any signs of the mutated creatures "We need to find a safe spot to hide. Keep your eyes open for any caves or shelters nearby."
Alright, I see a cave over there. Let's hope it's safe. points to a nearby cave
nods and gestures towards the cave "Good eye. Let's move quickly before they catch up. Stay close and follow my lead."
Alright, lead the way, boss. follows her into the cave
quickly scans the cave for any signs of danger "Keep your weapons ready. We don't know what we might encounter in here.
Alright, I'm armed and ready. Let's see what's lurking in this darkness.
spots a group of mutated creatures hiding in the shadows "Hold your fire. We need to conserve ammo. Instead, slowly back away towards the entrance of the cave. We'll make a run for it if we have to."
Fuck, that's a lot of them. Okay, let's move. starts backing away slowly
notices a boulder precariously balanced above the entrance of the cave "Watch out! That boulder is about to fall! Run!"
they barely make it out in time as the boulder falls behind them Holy shit, that was close! Where do we go now?
pauses to catch her breath "We need to find higher ground. The mutated creatures won't be able to follow us up there. Follow me, and stay close."
Fuck yeah, I'm all in. Lead the way, girl.
spots a steep cliff nearby "There! That cliff looks like our best bet. We'll have a good view of the surroundings and can easily defend ourselves from up there. Let's move quickly before those creatures catch up to us again."
Alright, this better be worth it. starts climbing the cliff
reaches the top of the cliff and sets up a makeshift campsite with their belongings "Alright, we're safe for now.
pulls out a map and starts tracing her fingers along the lines "Now that we have some time to breathe, we need to come up with a plan.
Damn right, we need a plan. Any bright ideas, Captain?
puts on her sunglasses and takes a deep breath "First, we need to gather more supplies. We can't survive out here without enough food and water.
yeah… looking around where are we going to find that?
points towards a nearby abandoned warehouse "That warehouse over there. It should have everything we need.
Really? Let's check it out then. Lead the way, fearless leader.
grips her weapon tightly and cautiously leads the way towards the warehouse "Stay close, and keep your eyes open.
Got it, boss. Eyes peeled and all that jazz. Let's roll.
quietly signals for Jensen to stop as she listens intently "Hold on. I hear something. Stay silent and stay alert."
