Chapter 5.8: The Fire That Burns the Dark

Mark’s Team – The First Flames of Extermination

The Martian wasteland had become a graveyard of twisted, scorched remains. The Titan Mecha’s flamethrowers roared as the group moved through the infested terrain, reducing everything to ash.

The parasites were smart. They hid, they adapted, they tried to survive.

But Mark and his hunters were smarter.

They had turned survival into an extermination campaign.

Their Plan: Erase the Infection

1. Controlled Burn Zones – Entire sectors were set on fire, flushing out parasite nests and burning their hosts before they could mutate further.

2. Baited Kill Zones – Corpses were rigged with high-heat incendiary traps, luring parasites in before they were incinerated.

3. Upgraded Titan Mecha – The survivors had turned the Titan Mecha into a flaming war machine, its left arm rebuilt into a plasma-burning cannon.
