With a heavy heart and tear-streaked face, Lily collected herself as they continued to show her the remains of the city. After all that, they all left, starting a new journey to their main base to report their findings. Days turned into weeks, and their travel was looking smooth until they encountered a massive mutant worm-like creature with a flattened, ribbon-like body covered in scales while walking in the desolate wasteland outside the city walls. The creature's menacing presence sent shivers down their spines as it let out a deafening roar, covered with shark-like teeth capable of cutting through metal.
Lily's heart raced as she watched the creature approach, her mind racing for a plan of action. She was then grabbed by Arthur, and they all started running as fast as they could. Emily started to feel tired, struggling to catch a breath. As they continued to flee from the mutant creature, Emily's exhaustion began to slow her down. Her legs felt heavy, and each breath became more labored. Desperate to keep up with the group, she pushed herself to her limits, ignoring the burning pain in her chest. Soon enough, the beast gets closer with each second that passes, and Emily realizes that she can't keep up much longer. Her vision blurred, and her body threatened to give out. Panic set in as she fought to stay on her feet, knowing that if she fell behind, she would be left defenseless against the approaching danger. Suddenly, Arthur and Lily turned back to check on Emily. They could see the toll the chase was taking on her and knew they couldn't leave her behind. Without hesitation, Arthur put Emily on his back, barely escaping the grasp of the beast. As they continued to run, Lily shouted for Emily to hold on tight, promising that they would find a safe place to hide. With Emily clinging desperately to Arthur's back, they pushed themselves to their limits, determined to outrun the relentless beast and ensure Emily's safety.
