UNDERGROUND BUNKER — NIGHT
The air was stale and heavy with the scent of dust and decay. Su Chen and Li Wei moved cautiously through the dim corridors, their footsteps echoing against cold metal walls.
The alliance was uneasy; every glance carried unspoken questions, every silence thick with mistrust.
DEEPER INTO THE LABYRINTH
System alerts flashed urgently.
[Warning: Enemy reinforcements approaching.]
The tension snapped taut. They had to find the puppet masters' command core — the heart of the conspiracy — before it was too late.
A DEADLY TRAP
As they reached a control room, an explosion rocked the bunker, sending shards of concrete and sparks flying. The floor trembled beneath them.
Li Wei caught Su Chen just in time as he stumbled, their eyes locking in that brief moment of trust and conflict.
BROKEN BUT UNBROKEN
Shaken but unyielding, Su Chen activated his system's defense protocols.
[Combat Mode: Engage]"Prepare for hostile engagement."
They fought side by side, moving with brutal efficiency — two warriors bound by vengeance and necessity.
UNEXPECTED SACRIFICE
Yue Lin's voice crackled through the comms, urgent and strained.
"There's a secondary blast coming. You need to get out — now!"
But the exit was sealed. Time was running out.
ENDING SCENE
Su Chen glanced at Li Wei.
"No one gets left behind."
Together, they prepared to face the abyss.
