Open Air at Last.

Using a revised strategy, I cleared the infected floor by sniping Clickers, bombed the Bloater, and took down a hidden Stalker. After escaping via an elevator shaft, Abby faced her fear of heights outside. They observed the nearby hospital, and spotted hostile WLF patrols ahead.

With my new strategy, the first thing I did was taking down three Clickers with arrows and my silencer gun. And then I went for a Stalker hidden in a wall crevice, near the bloater.

The Stalker survived the initial hit, and it came running to me screeching loudly, which altered the Bloater across the hall. So I had to stay on movement after shooting down the Stalker, to avoid being pinned down.

I was ready this time, as I learned from my mistake in the previous attempt. So I started attacking the Bloater with all the pipe bombs I had in collection, and then I started shooting it with the shotgun and took it down before it could get close to me.

The floor was clear to me to move ahead safely, but I knew there was another Stalker that messed up my progress for the first time. So I went for it proactively, and I shot it down before it could get out of its stuck zone in the wall.

Before getting out of the building through an elevator shaft, I noticed a grim scene of a dead body was getting swollen by vines and fungus growth from the wall. And then I used the elevator shaft to drop down to the lower structural landing.

At last, I found daylight. At this time, it's not from inside some glass window like before, we were actually close to outside this time.

But before leaving the building for good to continue our journey, I stopped there to check that long height below us. And when I made Abby stand there near the crumbling edge, I heard her shivering in fear, her breathing tightening up instantly.

Well, then I came out of that building and noticed the massive skyscrapers I've been climbing to get to this place so far. And there was this hospital also not far anymore.

And then we reached this part from where we could see a WLF patrols guarding the hospital area. So Abby asked Lev to wait there while she'd go alone for the supplies, as the WLF will shoot on sight if they see a Seraphite companion.

We'll check what happens next in another post.
