No rest for the wicked



As I stood at the edge of the forest, my eyes shifted towards the dormant cable car system that stretched across the landscape. Its broken cables dangled lifelessly, contrasting the island's vibrant beauty. The notion of this once-thriving transportation network now being completely useless intrigued me. It could have been the ideal means to traverse the island, weaving through the treacherous swamps, dense forests, and gaping canyons that separated its diverse regions.

I couldn't help but wonder about the island's past right before the catastrophe, when the cable cars were filled with EVAS scientists, providing easy access to its various research stations. It would be great to have these working again, but this would be no easy task. Since I am no engineer, I must rely on my survival skills and instincts, carefully planning each excursion.




The dream of resurrecting this once-majestic transportation system, while alluring, was nothing more than a fantasy. As I looked at the disabled cable cars, I realized I would need to find another way to navigate the island's challenges. After all, I have made it so far with nothing but my will and hope supporting my efforts. If there is a way out of this hell, I will find it either way.

Is that the end of the road?



The toxic fog shrouding the path led to an elusive cave. Even though I was equipped with the right mixture of Serum, my every breath felt like a test of endurance as I struggled against the green haze. The forest's usual tranquility had turned eerily ominous. This was no ordinary challenge; every step became a battle against the overwhelming fog.

Unaware of the danger I was about to face, I pressed forward, my thoughts consumed by the ones awaiting my safe return. As I finally reached the cave's entrance, a chill ran down my spine. The cave's darkness seemed to devour the light, and an inexplicable dread gripped me.

As I cautiously entered the cave, my heart pounded with uncertainty. Suddenly, a low growl reverberated from the depths, and I froze in terror. In the dim light, a creature emerged from the shadows. It was a monstrous being with an ape-like physique. Its long arms gave it a hauntingly otherworldly appearance, and the luminescent green light coming out from its meatless torso suggested a very advanced mutation.

My mind struggled to comprehend what stood before me. The realization that such a powerful creature inhabited the cave left me pondering what other dangers awaited on my journey. The once-mundane exploration had transformed into a pivotal battle for survival against a terrifying foe I had never known existed. Now, I stood face-to-face with it, uncertain if I make it out alive.

A deadly encounter



As I ventured through the desolate landscape, searching for more answers, I noticed a peculiar building. It looked similar to other facilities I have seen before, but this one had a big sign on the side that said “Human”. Within its ominous confines, I encountered a chilling sight—the lifeless bodies of fellow humans. Little did I know that this encounter would thrust me into a confrontation with an unfathomable danger, a new breed of terror that would test not only my physical abilities but also the depths of my moral fortitude.

No longer than a few seconds after the discovery, one of the corpses started moving and getting up. As I stood there completely paralyzed by shock, the reanimated human remains charged at me with haste. At that moment, my instincts kicked into overdrive, and I swiftly reacted to the impending threat. I struck out at the corpse, fighting to protect myself. The clash was brief yet gruelling, with adrenaline coursing through my veins. The encounter left me exhausted, physically and emotionally drained.

As I was trying to catch my breath, a heavy wave of guilt washed over me. These were not mutated creatures like the ones I had battled before. These were remnants of humanity, reanimated into a grotesque semblance of life. In my heart, I knew that ending their existence was a moral burden far weightier than any fight I had faced thus far.

Unable to find suitable words to describe these walking corpses, I settled on the term "zombies." It seemed fitting, capturing the surreal horror of the situation. In my mind, I began to speculate on their origin. Could they be the result of failed human trials conducted within this facility, a twisted experiment gone awry? The thought sent shivers down my spine, contemplating the depths of human desperation and the consequences of tampering with nature's delicate balance.
