Dying Light 2: The Volatile Hunter

Markers of plague

Running, jumping, climbing, running, jumping, climbing,

That's what it was here in villador, running across the rooftops and leaping across gaps a figure of what looked to be a survivor was seen in the darkness of old villador, the teal tarp-covered hospital coming into view, leaping across the building and clinging onto the side of the building the stranger began climbing its side leaving tears in the tarp as he descended up to its rooftops

Meanwhile, on its lower section, two other men were making their way up for another reason to that of the strangers

"You sure we'll be able to find a biomarker here?"
Aiden gasped out as he pushed himself into the room, his stamina depleted in a matter of seconds each time he tried climbing on anything, the older looking of the two only rolled his eyes attempting to lock pick a door

"I've told you yes, we will get you a biomarker, they used to make them in this exact place you know"
Hakon informed him before huffing in frustration as he couldn't get it to unlock

"Do you at least know how to unlock doors? You must have had to learn how to do that during your time on the road"
Hakon looked over at the tired male who had gotten up from his place on the floor before turning back to the lock and giving it one last attempt

"Yeah, you turn the key"
Aiden replied sarcastically as he was leaning against one of the medical beds

"But what if you don't have one?"

"Look Hakon I didn't have to deal with doors whilst on the road"
Aiden crossed his arms in a bit of a snarky way, Turning away from the lock Hakon gave him an eye roll

"Find some pieces of scrap and make yourself a few pares of lock picks before I shove my foot up to your arse"
Walking away from the door to stand next to a few trash bins as Aiden had a bit of an irked expression on his face, he pulled himself away from where he had been leaning against and knelt a bit to get within eye level of the doorknob, pulling out the tools he made quick work with the lock

"And you said you didn't have to deal with doors"
Hakon mocked playfully, Sucking in a breath to keep himself from punching him Aiden just walked into the room

Searching through the hospital the stranger stopped dead in his tracks after hearing something in the distance, no it wasn't the biters or the virals hell it sounded much quieter than that volatile going ballistic in the other parts of the hospital, crouching down and crawling over to hide behind what seemed to be the receptionist's desk

"Hakon I can't climb up"

"You're still too weak, you'll need another shot of that cocktail I gave you, you fell onto the first floor of the GRE facility there should still be some inhibitors down there, look for white and blue boxes"

Shifting to look at the elevators the sound of the hatch opening was heard pretty clearly before a thud, a few minutes of silence passed before a set of fingers crammed through the opening pulling the doors open.

A kid slowly stepped through, he only looked to be 25 or 26 give or take I think, I can't get a clear shot of what he looked like, staying quiet I watched as he slowly crept out of the elevator or well WAS if that other volatile hadn't decided to run in busting through the barricades, pulling himself back into the elevator I could see that he was peeking at the volatile who was crouched only a few feet from him, shifting myself so that I placed some weight on my legs I carefully watched it creep closer towards the elevator

"Hakon we've got company"

"A volatile, you can't take on one of those things in your state, just sit tight and keep a close eye on it"
