"A wise man knows when to run. Let's get out of here first," I whispered urgently to Masal as the sounds of gunshots echoed around us.
Without wasting another moment, we dashed towards the nearest exit, our hearts pounding with a mix of fear and adrenaline. The monstrous figure continued its relentless pursuit, its heavy footsteps shaking the ground beneath us.
We couldn't take the platform that we came in with. There was no cover and we could risk everything before it could clear us out of danger. The next option was the nearest ballistic door. As we reached the exit, I fumbled for a keycard from one of the dead soldiers, swiping it desperately against the electronic lock. The door slid open just in time, and we hurriedly slipped through, sealing it shut behind us. The deafening roars of the creature reverberated through the door, causing a shiver to run down my spine.
Bang! Bang!
