Right after the doctor left, a massive tsunami struck Cozumel, forcing Lara into a desperate fight for survival. She was swept through the village, navigating collapsing buildings and drowning victims. After a narrow escape through a submerged building and a frantic search for oxygen, she surfaced only to face another approaching threat.
Right after the doctor left Lara alone, a deafening sound echoed through the air. She turned back and witnessed a gargantuan tsunami racing toward the shore, exactly as the doctor warned.
I started running as fast as possible to stay ahead of the wall of water. The tsunami tore through the village, leveling stalls and houses in its path as it surged deeper into the town.
Lara's luck eventually ran out as the water caught up to her. I was plunged into the churning, muddy depths and had to swim frantically toward the surface to keep from being pulled under.
I tried to have Lara hold onto a sturdy pole while the current dragged other villagers away. The force of the water was simply too powerful, and she was ripped away from her makeshift anchor.
While being swept along by the current, she managed to grab onto a floating wooden door. She held on with everything she had, trying to keep her head above the debris-filled water.
A nearby building began to collapse directly toward her. To avoid being crushed, I had to dive deep underwater and navigate through the submerged ruins of the village.
Everything beneath the surface was a scene of devastation. I swam through the sunken streets, witnessing the tragic sight of villagers who had been trapped and drowned instantly by the surge.
I searched for an exit but found only a stuck door. Lara's lungs were burning, and I could tell she was dangerously close to running out of oxygen in the cramped, underwater space.
I managed to find a small air pocket trapped against a ceiling. After taking a few desperate breaths, I dove back down to find a way out of the wreckage.
The only exit was blocked by a thick pane of glass, with a body visible on the other side. Lara used the last of her strength to shatter the glass, narrowly escaping the drowning trap.
I finally found a way to scramble out of the water, but the ground was unstable and collapsing. I had no choice but to leap back into the flood to avoid being crushed by falling debris.
Just as I thought I had found a relatively safe spot to catch my breath, Lara noticed another massive object or wave hurtling toward her from behind. The nightmare was far from over.
