Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: The Morning After

The next morning, Ethan woke to the familiar hum of his bunker and the chatter on the radio. The truckers and preppers were sharing their experiences from the night before, their voices a mix of frustration and caution.

"Damn, she sounded just like my ex-wife," one trucker said, his voice tinged with a mix of relief and disbelief. "Phew, I would have opened the door had it been anyone else."

There was cautious chuckling on the radio, a brief moment of levity amidst the tension. But the mood quickly turned somber as other truckers chimed in.

"Yeah, we lost some good men last night," another voice said, the weight of loss heavy in his tone. "Saw a few big rigs on the side of the road, their doors open. Be careful going forward."

Ethan felt a pang of sorrow for the fallen truckers. The Frozen Sirens were proving to be a formidable and deadly threat. Their ability to mimic loved ones and exploit human emotions made them particularly dangerous.

He picked up the radio, his voice steady as he spoke. "This is Ethan Parker. I want to remind everyone to stay vigilant. The Frozen Sirens are cunning and relentless. Keep your doors locked and verify any voices you hear. We can't afford to lose more people."

There was a chorus of acknowledgments, the community taking his warning to heart. The fight for survival was becoming more complex, the supernatural elements adding a new layer of danger.

Ethan turned off the radio, his mind racing with thoughts. The Deep Freeze had brought unimaginable horrors, but they had to stay vigilant. The Frozen Sirens were a constant threat, but with caution and unity, they could face them.

He took a deep breath, steeling himself for the day ahead. There was still much to be done, and he was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. The fight for survival was relentless, but so was he. And as long as they stayed united, they had a fighting chance.
