Briefly looking around, you can see a rocky area right next to the forest, and a snowy area covered in a white mist further away, giant concrete buildings piercing through the foggy air, and an even bigger tower at the center of it, reaching all the way upwards beyond your field of view.
But you don't have time to focus on that, you have to land this thing! Your speed increases again as you quickly fall fowards. The ship crashes through a tree, heavily damaging its outer shell and almost hitting the cockpit. You swing the manual controls left and right in a futile attempt to steer it, it proves basically ineffective. As you're slowly down, you once again run into another tree, crashing "softly" onto its upper branches and finally stopping for good. You eject the cockpit's cover and land safely down onto the ground with your partner.
>"...">"Uh... Don't worry about it Storkie... I have insurance... and I need it for our work anyways, I'm sure they can just give me another, cheaper one...">"*sniff* ...yeah...."A single tear runs down your cheek as you look at your partner's damaged equipment. Two in one day. God really doesn't exist.
You rub your eyes with your hands, need to focus on the now. You motion to your partner to follow you and start running fowards, you can see a group of trees bending and twisting like a mirage in the distance, that's probably that barrier from earlier.
You approach the area and hide behind a tree, a group of zombies are attacking the barrier, tearing into it with their teeth and claws, distorting the space in front of them. It hasn't been broken yet, but you doubt it'll make a good hiding place now.
You notice a tiny slit of the barrier on a dark corner of the forest has been opened up, seems like the zombies haven't noticed that obvious opening yet. You silently dash towards it and hop right inside.
