Chapter 196 - Surrounded

"Like I said, the chip is connected to my body. It will be like she just hacked me. I'll know everything that I do, but I won't be able to stop it," Vicky said.

"That sounds… scary," Miles said. Vicky did not respond, as she listened quietly. Miles turned to her.

"We've been surrounded," Vicky said, turning to Miles. Miles looked around, as crimson NPCs emerged from the bushes in the forest. Some dropped down from the trees.

There were too many of them to be fought. Despite the odds, Vicky pulled out her only knife. She looked down at where her boomerang was and sighed.

"We can't win this," Miles said.

"We can't, but we're not going down without a fight," Vicky replied. She continued, "You know what to do. I'll get anyone that you miss."

Miles nodded, as he checked the ammo on his gun. He checked how many more cartridges he had left.

"I don't have much ammo left. We won't be able to hold them off for long," Miles said.
