Gabriel approached me, a sense of urgency etched across his face.
"Athena," he said, his voice filled with a mixture of anxiety and determination, "I've intercepted some signals on the radio. They're broadcasting a message."
I turned towards Gabriel, my brows furrowing in concern. "What kind of message?" I asked.
As the radio crackled with static, a stern voice filled the airwaves, delivering a message that sent shivers down our spines. The voice belonged to the government official, and his tone carried an air of urgency and somber determination.
"Attention, citizens," the official's voice boomed over the radio waves, breaking the eerie silence that had settled over the city. "This is an emergency broadcast from the government. In light of the rapidly spreading virus, we have made the difficult decision to initiate a controlled blasting operation within the city limits in four days."

Gabriel placed a hand on my shoulder, offering a reassuring squeeze. "We have to believe there's hope, that there are others out there fighting just like us. It's a risk we have to take."
I took a deep breath, realizing that Gabriel was right. We couldn't afford to let doubt consume us. "Okay, let's do it. Let's make our way to the West Airport. Maybe there's a chance for all of us."
