Chapter 3: Explosion. North

Angelo drove as quickly as he could, following whatever signs the Sulegna could throw at him. It never dawned upon him that he was running out of gas, until Tryk and Lilia pointed it out. He looked at the gauge. It said empty. They were coasting on reserves now.

Fortunately, a gas station was nearby. They stopped there for fuel. Angelo busily dealt with refueling the car, while Tryk and Lilia raided the station of any food. They ran a high bill. A really high bill. They quickly left the station after paying. North of them, they could see an explosion cloud. Something was happening there, but they already knew what happened. GTX was under siege. Nowhere was safe any more.
