The dawn brought no comfort to New Dawn, only the relentless heat of a sun that seemed to mock their plight. The community was abuzz with the arrival of the new survivors and the chilling presence of the figure outside their walls. Maya convened an emergency meeting, her face a mask of controlled urgency.
"Last night's events have changed everything," she began, her voice echoing in the hushed room. "We need to understand the threat and act swiftly."
Leo stepped forward, the weight of his discovery etched in his eyes. "The notes we found," he said, "they weren't just lying around. We had to fight our way into that lab, past creatures that were... more than just undead."
He recounted the harrowing journey through the city, the battles fought in the shadowed corridors of the laboratory, and the moment they found the notes—protected in a sealed chamber, the emergency systems still flickering with life.
"The scientists... they tried to save themselves, to document their work before it was too late," Leo continued. "These notes are their legacy—and our warning."
The room was silent, the gravity of his words settling like dust in the air.
Sarah interjected, her voice steady, "We've pieced together their final moments. The gas, the mutations, Jack... it all leads back to one thing: the experiment."
A newcomer, a doctor who had joined the survivors at the gates, spoke up. "I was there," he confessed, his voice barely above a whisper. "I saw what they did to him, to Jack. We thought we were on the brink of a breakthrough, but we were playing with fire."
Maya fixed her gaze on him. "And now that fire is at our doorstep."
The chapter unfolds with the survivors grappling with the implications of the doctor's revelations. Tensions rise as they debate their next move—whether to flee to the islands or to stand and fight.
As night falls, a plan is hatched. A small team, led by Leo and the doctor, will venture out to find more information, to uncover the full extent of the experiment's consequences.
The gates of New Dawn closing behind them with a resounding thud. The figure outside, the commanding undead, watches with an inscrutable gaze, its intentions hidden in the gathering darkness.
