Chapter 5: Betrayal

John and his team had been living with the community for a few weeks now, and things seemed to be going well. They had established themselves as valuable members of the group, contributing their skills to the community's efforts.

But one day, everything changed. John woke up to find that several members of the community had disappeared overnight, along with a significant portion of the group's supplies. It quickly became clear that they had been betrayed from within.

As the remaining members of the community scrambled to assess the damage, John and his team realized that they had been set up. The missing supplies included all of their weapons and ammunition, as well as a significant amount of food and medical supplies.

They knew that they couldn't stay with the community any longer. They had to leave and try to find a new place to survive. But before they could go, they had to find out who had betrayed them.

John and his team began to investigate, trying to gather information and find any clues about the missing supplies and the people who had taken them. They talked to other members of the community and pieced together a picture of what had happened.

They learned that a small group within the community had been planning the betrayal for weeks. They had been working quietly, stealing supplies and weapons, and preparing to make their escape.

When John and his team confronted the group, they were met with hostility and violence. The traitors had turned on them, seeing them as a threat to their escape plan.

The resulting fight was brutal, with casualties on both sides. John and his team were outnumbered, but they fought with everything they had, determined not to go down without a fight.

In the end, they managed to take down the traitors and recover some of their stolen supplies. But it came at a heavy cost. They had lost some of their own people in the fight, and they knew that they couldn't stay with the community any longer.

With heavy hearts, John and his team said their goodbyes and left the community behind, once again on the run. They knew that they had to keep moving if they wanted to survive, but they also knew that they couldn't trust anyone anymore.

As they moved through the abandoned city, they realized that they were truly alone now. But they also knew that they had each other, and that was something that they could hold on to, even in the darkest of times.
