After neutralizing the nearby threats, I found Lev and Yara. They transported her to the aquarium where Owen and Mel provided medical assistance. Mel determined that an amputation was necessary to save Yara's life, prompting a high-stakes mission to the hospital via a shortcut Lev suggested.
Now that the threat around us was neutralized, I started heading towards the kids, though I stayed careful while moving. I kept my weapon ready just in case more cultists were lurking nearby.
After getting inside this building through the heavy metal shutter, I found a workbench that I used to upgrade my weapons. I took a few minutes to add some modifications that would help in the fights ahead.
And at last I reached the place where I had left the kids earlier. There I found two bodies of Scars lying on the floor, which worried both Abby and me instantly.
But it looked like the kids were safe as Lev came over after Abby called out for them. Abby found Yara in a real bad condition as girl was pale and barely conscious, her arm clearly shattered and infected from the brutal treatment she had received from her own people.
When Abby was carrying Yara out of the hiding spot, Lev stopped her to ask where they were going. Abby said she wanted to give her a chance at survival and wouldn't leave her behind. They then took Yara all the way to the aquarium to get help from Owen.
Owen came over to see what the commotion was about. There was this dog who started barking and acting aggressive, sensing the presence of Scars in the room.
And it looked like Owen was not alone as Mel was also there in the room. Her presence was a stroke of luck, as her medical training was far superior to anyone else we knew.
Lev got ready with her bow and arrow as the dog kept acting aggressively toward her and her sister. But after Abby stopped her and told her to lower her weapon, the dog also got quiet with the command of Mel.
Having Mel there was actually a good advantage for them as she was a real doctor with actual surgical experience. But after checking on the crushed bones of Yara's arm, Mel confirmed the worst news possible.
She said she would need to cut the hand off or Yara won't survive the spreading infection that was already taking hold.
Mel said she would need a saw, sutures, clamps, and antibiotics to do the operation and keep her alive through the recovery. For that, Abby would need to get to the hospital to scavenge for the necessary supplies but they didn't have enough time for that.
Lev said she knew a shortcut through the city that could get them there much faster than the main roads.
We'll check what happens next in another post.

Mel's diagnosis was brutal but honest. So now, it's no longer just a supply run; it's a race against a spreading infection.
💯
This part of the game had strong emotion and tension. You found the kids safe but Yara was badly hurt which made the whole scene very hard.
Yeah totally.
Finding the kids safe after seeing those Scars bodies was such a relief, haa? That shortcut Lev mentioned sounds like it's going to be a dangerous climb.
Yeah, it was a big relief. And let's see about the climb.
Thanks.
