raises an eyebrow What the hell was that?
That vial contained a potent smell-altering serum. It's enough to make them think there's something dangerous in this direction.

squints at Zero Clever. But how do we take advantage of the distraction?
We run. Straight for the exit. gestures towards the crumbling gate Keep moving, no looking back.
Bearrata
nods, following Zero Lead the way, then. And if you know any short cuts, now's the time to mention them.
grins Trust me, I know these abandoned streets like the back of my hand. No shortcuts needed, Bearrata. We're cutting through the back alley of the old factory.
Bearrata
following Zero into the darkness Alright, lead the way then. And don't slow down for anyone or anything.

Bearrata
alerted, eyes scanning the surroundings What's up, Zero? You feel something?
narrows their eyes, takes a step back There's a zombie nearby. It's sniffing around, trying to track our scent. We need to get out of here fast.
Bearrata
whispers urgently A zombie? Shit, how did it find us?
snarls, taking out a small blade from their pocket I don't know and I don't care. We need to get rid of it before it alerts the rest of the city.
Bearrata
pulls out a revolver I got this, Zero. Move aside.
steps back, watching Bearrata prepare to shoot Make sure you hit it straight on, Bearrata. We can't afford any mistakes.
