Ryo lay in bed, his mind restless as he replayed the events of the day. The helicopter's unexpected visit and its abrupt departure gnawed at him. He tried to piece together why the helicopter had stopped at one of the buildings, and what could have prompted such an action. The questions and unease prevented him from finding sleep.
Unable to shake his curiosity, Ryo decided to investigate further. He reached for his binoculars, scanning the area from his window. The night had settled over the town, and the darkness was punctuated only by the occasional glow of distant fires and the eerie moans of zombies. The familiar sounds of the undead—particularly the Creeper zombies—were a reminder of the dangers that lurked even in the night.
