1
It all started in my base.
2
Safe enough, I guess.
3
More walls, fenced gate.
4
Enough to give you the feeling you're still in control.
5
I packed enough supplies to head out for the toxic wasteland.
6
To chase yet another job.
7
That kind that gets players killed.
8
All that for some silly reward just to survive,
9
scrape by, get enough resources before the red moon comes again.
10
And it never waits.
11
It never asks if you're ready.
12
It doesn't care.
13
The road, as always, was filled with undead,
14
lifeless bodies wandering the wasteland, braving the living.
15
And, as always, I take care of them, one by one.
16
Then I had this urge to escape this dark reality, so I decided to eat some irradiated wasteland vegetation.
17
Turns out fighting zombies while hallucinating is less of a tactical advantage and more of a questionable choice. But I survived.
18
And when I finally reach my wasteland outpost, I'm ready to go and talk to Trader Joel.
19
That guy's way too friendly for the apocalypse.
20
Makes me wonder, how did he survive?
21
What did he do to keep this store alive?
22
does he hide in his basement?
23
But I'm still on his good graces.
24
I asked him for the Higashi Tower, but he only offered some other meaningless missions.
25
I thought maybe I can outsmart the system,
26
pick on a mission and cancel it. But no luck.
27
Jobs didn't refresh.
28
That stubborn bastard.
29
I guess I had no choice and take something else.
30
Win some favor.
31
So I took on the Ostrich Hotel, the name and nothing until I got closer.
32
It was the city.
33
Dangerous place.
34
Bad idea.
35
But there I was, staring at the tall building, all boarded up.
36
Just one tall ladder leading to the top.
37
There's no time to linger.
38
If I want to survive, I have to get off the street.
39
So I climb the ladder, ignoring the noises around me.
40
I've reached the top of the building.
41
It's quiet.
42
Too quiet, but I have no choice.
43
I have to move forward.
44
So I draw my weapon.
45
I realize I don't have many arrows left.
46
I need to take them by surprise.
47
And take care of them, one by one.
48
As I just started to feel safe again, I stood in silence.
49
I watched the residents of the former hotel wake up.
50
I moved on to the top floor, even though I knew what was waiting for me inside.
51
The first room was filled with the undead.
52
And then the next one.
53
Looks like someone tried to take the easy way out.
54
Probably just to learn there isn't such a thing as dead are walking the earth.
55
As I moved on, I realized I'm down to one arrow.
56
My chances of survival just keep dropping.
57
And then there was the first surprise.
58
They rushed me like a bad memory you can't outrun.
59
Good thing my best friend, the shotgun, was by my side.
60
You're not eating tonight, fellas.
61
I wasn't ready to give up.
62
Not yet, at least.
63
I move on.
64
Straight into the next room.
65
This one seems to be filled with what looked like young women.
66
I wonder if this was supposed to be a girl's trip.
67
A break from their ordinary lives.
68
I wonder if they knew this place would become their grave.
69
Futures erased by a new world order that turned them into one of them.
70
I move down to the next floor just to meet more of the hotel's former residents.
71
I'm out of arrows.
72
This changes everything.
73
No arrows meant no stealth.
74
No stealth means I have to deal with them all at once.
75
That theory was tested fast.
76
I was right.
77
No more games.
78
Just survival.
79
One room looked like they understood what was happening.
80
to barricade themselves
81
and it didn't work judging by the couch they had the
82
strength to move it just not enough time i moved on to the next floor this time they got close too close
83
my arm is broken i'll have to make a splint
84
better than nothing let's keep moving no more games time for exploding arrows here we go come and get me
85
Finally, the supplies I was sent to find.
86
I hope that old bastard will show me some appreciation.
87
Probably not.
88
I'm just another face walking into his shop, eating his lies, doing his dirty work.
89
The ground floor is up next.
90
And just when I thought things might be okay, there it was.
91
sirens in the distance a storm coming my way
92
there's no running now no backing out I had no choice but to face whatever was coming
93
then a few lurking in the corner I have to take a chance it could be my last stealth move it worked
94
I take a peek outside
95
Certain death Masked as green snow
96
Remnants of the nuclear disaster I take out what's left of the hotel staff And their patrons
97
This is probably it.
98
The nastiest words are almost always in the basement.
99
And again, it's too quiet.
100
They fooled me.
101
I need to run now.
102
I'm out of here now there's too
103
many of them just keep going how many of them are there
104
They pushed me all the way back to the top.
105
There's a break.
106
I need to heal.
107
I know I'm not done yet.
108
There's one red dot left.
109
Could that really be it?
110
That was not one of the targets.
111
This was it.
112
The last one.
113
I made it.
114
Seems like they were here with military crates.
115
Ammo.
116
Supplies.
117
Did they hope the hotel basement would give them protection?
118
I wonder if they were survivors.
119
A military sent to protect them.
120
I wonder who turned first.
121
The supplies, they don't need it anymore.
122
I do.
123
Food, medicine, ammo, guns.
124
A jackpot.
125
Part of a gold at the end of the rainbow.
126
I got lucky this time.
127
I can't even carry it all.
128
I grabbed what I could and got ready to get out of here.
129
Leave this damn place.
130
Time to leave the city.
131
Time to live another day.
132
Oh no. It's one of them.
133
I got him first.
134
I can't take my chances.
135
I need to leave.
136
Now.
137
Once again, I survive to see another day.
138
And I leave the city of the dead behind me.
139
The most alive I've felt in a long time.
140
Good afternoon.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
