There appeared to be only one feasible course of action left: to leave Silverdale Shelter and seek refuge in another.
The shadow organization's tentacles of control did not extend beyond Silverdale's borders. Unless their pursuit of Ava was so fervent that they would breach their usual boundaries, fleeing to another shelter might offer true protection for them.
The transition would be arduous, but Ethan felt it was a necessary risk, more promising than the other routes that now lay in tatters in his mind.
The nearest shelter was Skyfall Shelter, a journey of two to three hours by vehicle across the treacherous Crimson Desert.
With resolve steeling his heart, Ethan mentally prepared for what lay ahead. He needed an armored truck to traverse the desert and a map to guide them to Skyfall.
