The rusted skeleton of a bus lies half-buried in the overgrowth, its windows shattered and seats torn out. Faint sunlight filters through the canopy of a dead forest, casting long shadows across the cracked asphalt. The air smells of damp earth and decay. A distant groan echoes—something moving in the ruins ahead. You crouch low, heart hammering. A figure emerges from the gloom, rifle raised, eyes scanning the treeline. They haven't seen you yet. What do you do?
