Those We Left Behind

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep... but your enemies are tenacious. This calls for drastic measures!

Scene summaries may contain spoilers
1
You've led the helicopters away from Peter and now it's time to remove your trackers. Janine crushes them, but you can still be tracked visually. Janine hopes that the trees ahead are the start of the forest Bakari mentioned. You need to make a run over open ground, but then the trees should obscure you.
2
You're well into the forest. It'll slow down the helicopters looking for you, but they have thermal imaging to help them. Janine identifies the trees as eucalyptus – they secrete a highly flammable oil because fire helps them spread their seeds. If you set a fire, the heat should hide you from the helicopters. You collect kindling. Janine apologises for dragging you all on this mission. She scales a tree and sees the helicopters dropping soldiers into the forest to search. You need to head for the cache at the base of a rocky outcrop. The fire is starting to catch and there are zombies in the trees.
3
The smoke is thickening. You reach the outcrop and Janine spots a symbol next to a cave. You head inside and find supplies and the map to find the motorboat. You stock up on as much as you can carry, including an anti-tank rifle. You receive a call from Sam, but are interrupted by flaming zombies entering the cave. Run!
4
You've lost the zombies, but you need to keep running to escape the flames. Janine thinks the motorboat might be in the direction of the fire. Sam says Maryam knows a way through the mountains, but you need to lose your pursuers first. Sam asks about Peter and is shocked when Janine says that you left him behind due to his injuries. The soldiers are closing in, so you need to circle behind the line of the flames to escape.
5
The remaining trees are black with soot, but new life will emerge from this. Janine finds the remains of two zombies that were caught in the fire and instructs you to pick one up while she takes the other. You won't have far to go!
6
Bakari was never sloppy: Janine finds a fuelled quad bike ready for if the motorboat proved inoperable. You put the zombie corpses onto the bike and Janine programmes it to veer off the road where it crosses the nearby waterfall. It'll make it look like you died, at least long enough to buy time. The helicopters have spotted the bike, so you need to retrace your steps so you don't leave extra footprints.
7
You jump into a stream to hide your movements. It's only waist-deep so you'll need to stay low and use the rocks for cover. You hear the soldiers confirm that they think you went over the waterfall and begin to leave, so you can start moving again. Janine promises that you will complete this mission. Anything is possible now you're dead.
