The evacuation of Metro City's East District was still underway, but progress was agonizingly slow. Thousands of panicked civilians clogged the streets like blood in a failing artery, desperate to escape the chaos that Red had unleashed.
Overhead, Scott soared through the smoky air.
He carefully scanned for anyone still trapped in the deeper parts of the district.
His armor's HUD lit up with a notification:
[System Alert: Remaining civilians in Zone C-34: 54. Structural collapse risk: High. Immediate extraction recommended.]
Scott grit his teeth and dove down, dodging the occasional debris that rained from nearby crumbling buildings.
"There──!!"
Spotting a small family stranded atop a partially crushed SUV, he swooped in to grab a man and his two young daughters with precision.
"Hang on tight!"
