Grue opened a path in the darkness for the faux paramedic, we checked that she was alive, and then helped her limp to the ambulance, with me doing most of the heavy work for once.
Oh, good, Cricket didn’t make good on her attempted threat when Grue blocked her.
I hurried to grab some first aid supplies, packing ointments, pills and bandages into a bag. Coil’s soldiers retreated back toward the police barricade before I was finished, each supporting the other.
Problem: The E88ers were going to attack that barricade. Hookwolf might still be in a condition to do so – are the police there capable of defending themselves against a solo Hookwolf?
Grue flooded more of the area with darkness while I gathered most of the swarm back around myself. I left only the bare minimum of bugs necessary to navigate the sightless world of Grue’s power and the ones I needed to track Hookwolf’s presence.
Nice. Good to stay aware of where he is, in case he comes after you.
There were more I couldn’t touch because they were caught helpless in the endless, subsonic drone that Cricket still emanated, but I had enough that I could deal.
Eyy, infrasound confirmed!
I mean, besides the things I mentioned about known effects of infrasound on humans, it was a 50/50 shot, but still.
We hurried away before Hookwolf thought to attack the spot where the ambulance had crashed.
Time to skitter out of here!
