Part 86: Zombies Force

Amidst our intense interrogation of the dwarf inventor, our senses were suddenly pricked by subtle movements nearby. The air grew tense as we instinctively went on high alert, our eyes scanning our surroundings for any signs of danger. The inventor's revelation about the impending zombie threat seemed to be materializing before us.

Sarah's expression mirrored my thoughts. She weighed the options before responding, "We can't let them overwhelm us. If they're determined to stop us, we'll find another route, another strategy."
