DESPERATION SETS IT _ 7 Days to Die #21

**Surviving the Apocalypse: A Harrowing Journey**

As we embark on this perilous journey through the world of 7 Days to Die, it becomes quickly apparent that survival is not for the faint of heart. Wade and Mark, two seasoned survivors, find themselves in a desperate bid to stay alive in a post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies, scarce resources, and treacherous terrain.

The duo begins by attempting to cook raw meat over an open flame, but their efforts are soon derailed when they realize that they need more than just a skillet or pot to accomplish this task. "You don't need like a skillet or pot or a pan or anything?" Mark quips, as Wade nods in agreement. The reality of their situation becomes clear: they require a grill, and more specifically, animal hide, in order to construct the necessary tools for survival.

As they embark on their quest, Wade notes that it's "snowing" - a phenomenon they didn't account for in their initial planning. Mark responds with excitement, exclaiming "Oooooh!" as he marvels at the sudden change in weather. The zombie groans in agreement, its undead senses alert to the presence of potential prey.

Despite their efforts, Wade and Mark soon find themselves struggling with basic needs such as food and water. They attempt to ration their supplies, but Mark's dysentery begins to take its toll on his health. "I'm fine right now," he assures Wade, but it becomes clear that this is a temporary state of affairs. The murky water in the zombie's chest serves as a stark reminder of the dangers they face.

As night falls, the duo hears the sound of an approaching horde of zombies. Mark senses their presence, but Wade remains undetected - for the moment. "I'm drinking uhSome water..." Mark quips, as Wade notes that the snow has passed with little fanfare. The pair reflects on the fleeting nature of the weather phenomenon, which brought a brief respite from their struggles.

As they navigate the treacherous world, Wade and Mark encounter various challenges, including the need for a second iron pipe to complete the bellows. Mark reveals that he's discovered two short iron pipes, which will be used in conjunction with the existing ones. The pair works together to construct the necessary tools, their banter and humor serving as a welcome respite from the dangers that surround them.

In the midst of their survival efforts, Wade notes that Mark has "pooped again." The reality of their situation is clear: they are struggling to maintain their physical and mental health in the face of unimaginable adversity. As they press on, they begin to realize that even the smallest setbacks can have a profound impact on their overall well-being.

Throughout their journey, Wade and Mark demonstrate an unwavering commitment to each other's survival. They work together, share resources, and offer words of encouragement - all in the pursuit of staying alive in a world that seems determined to kill them. As they face one challenge after another, it becomes clear that their partnership is the key to their success.

In the end, it's clear that survival in 7 Days to Die is not for the faint of heart. Wade and Mark's journey serves as a testament to the human spirit - its capacity to persevere even in the most dire of circumstances. As they navigate this treacherous world, they prove themselves to be worthy survivors, their bond and determination driving them forward into the unknown.
