Jake woke up from a restless sleep in the big building. Mia and Marcus were already stirring, and the trio gathered to discuss their next move.

Jake: "We can't stay here forever. We should head out, find a safer place."

Mia: "Agreed. But traveling on foot through this city might be too risky."

Marcus: "We need a vehicle—a safe way to navigate through these streets."

As they contemplated their options, a plan took shape. Their best chance was to find a transportation vehicle that could carry them swiftly and safely out of the city's unpredictable terrain.

Jake: "Let's look for a car or something. It'll make our journey smoother and quicker."

Mia: "Good idea. We'll cover more ground and avoid unnecessary dangers."

Jake: "A car showroom could have multiple options. We need to find one that's still in decent shape."

Mia: "And we should look for gasoline. It's a crucial resource. We don't want to get stranded."

Marcus: "Agreed. A car and enough fuel can be the key to getting out of the city safely."

With these considerations in mind, they pressed on, hoping that the car showroom held the promise of reliable transportation and the precious resource of gasoline in this world forever changed.

Approaching the car showroom, the trio navigated the silent streets with cautious steps. The city under the red moon seemed to hold its breath, the stillness amplifying every sound.

Jake: "Watch your step. We don't know what's around."

Mia: "And keep an eye out for any mutants. We don't want any surprises."

As they neared the showroom, Marcus spotted a broken window, a potential entry point.

Marcus: "There's an opening. Let's be quick and quiet."

Carefully crossing the streets, they avoided drawing attention to themselves. The broken window offered access, but they approached it cautiously, mindful of any potential threats inside.

Jake: "Mia, you go first. We'll follow."

Mia, agile and silent, slipped through the broken window, checking for dangers within. Satisfied, she signaled for Jake and Marcus to follow.The trio entered the showroom, the scent of new cars filled the surrounding.

Inside the car showroom, the trio searched for a suitable vehicle, the eerie quiet was shattered as a distant sound echoed through the space.

Marcus: "Did you hear that? Something's not right."

Suddenly, a crash. A zombie, drawn by the noise, broke into the showroom. Marcus held his ground, but Mia froze in fear.

Mia: "I... I can't move!"

In an instant, Jake, fueled by a newfound strength from the System, leaped in front of Mia. With swift precision, he dispatched the intruding zombie, a move that left the others in awe.

Marcus: "Nice save, Jake."

Jake, catching his breath, realized that the System's abilities were not just a dream but a tangible force aiding him in this perilous world. However, he kept this revelation to himself, unsure of how Mia and Marcus would react.

Jake: "We need to keep moving. Find a car and get out of here."

As the trio continued their search for a suitable vehicle, the System's interface appeared in Jake's thoughts, displaying a new notification.
