The Precipice of Defeat      

[Lina]

 

 

This wasn't good. Lina's heart pounded as she raced to catch up with Jin.

 

The best course of action right now would be to flee, but she should have known that Jin wasn't one to back down easily, even in the face of danger.

 

Reluctantly, she followed him, realizing that he might need her assistance. All he had was the borrowed lighter from George, but what could that do against Edward and the others?

 

As Lina reached the scene, her eyes widened in disbelief. A grotesque undead creature, unlike any she had encountered before, pursued Meryl and the rest of the group.

 

Edward desperately fired at the swarming rats, only to exhaust his ammunition. "Fuck, Amber! Let go of me!" he exclaimed, trying to free himself from Amber's grip.

 

Edward resorted to kicking at the relentless rats while Amber screamed and jumped on her toes in a desperate attempt to fend them off.
