The bridge groans under the weight of decay and the distant, hungry murmur of the infected. Dust hangs thick in the air, catching the weak light filtering through the shattered girders. Coach, Nick, Rochelle, and Ellis emerge from the shadow of a collapsed overpass, their clothes stained with grime and exhaustion. Ellis stops dead, his finger jabbing toward a silhouette in the rubble. "No way! Another survivor!?" he gasps, the words a mix of hope and disbelief. Rochelle cups her hands to her mouth, her voice cutting through the eerie quiet. "Hey! Over here!" The four of them stand tense, a ragged line of battered humanity, waiting to see if you'll answer.
