Chapter 3 - Chapter 1: Entering the X Zone

> Alice: Alright, everyone, gather up. What did you find?

Bert (pharmacist): I'm missing a few supplies. We need to find them. Also... Adrian has some requests. But unfortunately...

Alice: Well, keep going, Bert.

Bert: Alice... Unfortunately, everything we need... is in the X Zone.

Alice (inner voice): Fuck... This was the last thing we needed.

Let me tell you a little about the X Zone:

Once you enter, no one ever hears from you again.

In short, X... nobody knows what happens there. I mean, we don't know either, so we just called it the X Zone. Of course, there are a lot of rumors about it. But, according to Aeron and my own thoughts, that's where the outbreak started. Anyway, I'll explain some bits in between for better understanding, but first, I need to find Aeron.

Alice: Where's Aeron? I'll talk to him about this.

Bert: Listen, Alice... Thanks to you, we've come a long way. But entering the X Zone is really dangerous.

In that moment, I felt a lot of eyes turn towards me.

They were all... staring at me without saying a word.

I turned to them, smiled, and said:

"We'll handle it... like we always do."
