Story Transcript:

Ca: Amagat sota una vella masia catalana, Jordi es trobava al secret bunker.
En: Hidden beneath an old Catalan farmhouse, Jordi found himself in the secret bunker.

Ca: Era estiu, i la calor feia l'aire dens i insuportable.
En: It was summer, and the heat made the air dense and unbearable.

Ca: No obstant això, Jordi, un historiador de trenta-i-cinc anys, estava decidit a descobrir els secrets amagats del bunker.
En: Nevertheless, Jordi, a thirty-five-year-old historian, was determined to uncover the hidden secrets of the bunker.

Ca: Li encantava la història i, sovint, desconfiava de les autoritats que amagaven la veritat.
En: He loved history and often distrusted the authorities that concealed the truth.

Ca: El bunker era fosc.
En: The bunker was dark.

Ca: Només una llanterna il·luminava el camí.
En: Only a flashlight illuminated the path.

Ca: Jordi caminava lentament, respirant l'aire ple de pols i el olor de papers antics.
En: Jordi walked slowly, breathing in the air filled with dust and the smell of old papers.

Ca: La humitat feia que les parets estiguessin cobertes de floridura.
En: The humidity made the walls covered with mold.

Ca: De sobte, al tocar uns documents vells, va sentir una picor intensa al braç.
En: Suddenly, upon touching some old documents, he felt an intense itch on his arm.

Ca: Es va rascar, però la picor es va convertir ràpidament en dolor.
En: He scratched, but the itch quickly turned into pain.

Ca: Les seves mans començaven a inflar-se i el rostre es posava vermell.
En: His hands began to swell, and his face turned red.

Ca: Jordi va entendre que era una reacció al·lèrgica.
En: Jordi realized it was an allergic reaction.

Ca: "Devo sortir d'aquí!", va pensar, però sabia que havia d'avançar amb cura.
En: "I must get out of here!" he thought, but he knew he had to proceed carefully.

Ca: Va revisar la seva motxilla i va trobar un petit equip de primers auxilis.
En: He checked his backpack and found a small first-aid kit.

Ca: Tenia antihistamínics, però eren pocs.
En: It had some antihistamines, but they were few.

Ca: "Els prendré, però he de tenir un pla."
En: "I'll take them, but I need to have a plan."

Ca: Jordi va prendre les pastilles, bevent aigua de la seva ampolla.
En: Jordi took the pills, drinking water from his bottle.

Ca: Però la reacció no parava.
En: But the reaction did not stop.

Ca: La seva respiració es feia difícil.
En: His breathing became difficult.

Ca: Decidir si quedar-se o marxar no era fàcil.
En: Deciding whether to stay or leave was not easy.

Ca: Volia continuar explorant, però sabia que la seva salut estava en joc.
En: He wanted to continue exploring, but he knew his health was at stake.

Ca: Amb la poca força que li quedava, va improvisar un filtre amb un mocador i el va mullar amb aigua per respirar millor.
En: With the little strength he had left, he improvised a filter with a handkerchief and moistened it with water to breathe better.

Ca: Això li donava una mica més de temps.
En: This gave him a little more time.

Ca: Sabia que no podria seguir molt més així.
En: He knew he couldn’t go on much longer like this.

Ca: Va decidir tornar enrere.
En: He decided to turn back.

Ca: Amb passos insegurs, va enfilar el camí cap a la sortida del bunker.
En: With unsteady steps, he headed towards the exit of the bunker.

Ca: Va notar que cada pas era una batalla contra el temps i contra el seu cos que fallava.
En: He noticed that each step was a battle against time and his failing body.

Ca: Finalment, va veure la llum a la sortida.
En: Finally, he saw the light at the exit.

Ca: Va sortir de la masia i es va estirar a terra, respirant profundament l'aire fresc de l'exterior.
En: He emerged from the farmhouse and lay on the ground, breathing deeply the fresh air outside.

Ca: Encara notava les mans inflades, però se sentia millor al respirar aire fresc.
En: He still felt his hands swollen, but felt better breathing the fresh air.

Ca: Va comprendre llavors que havia d'estar millor preparat.
En: He then realized he needed to be better prepared.

Ca: "La pròxima vegada... necessitaré equipament millor i potser algú que m'ajudi," es deia a si mateix mentre es recuperava.
En: "Next time... I’ll need better equipment and maybe someone to help me," he told himself as he recovered.

Ca: Jordi va tornar a casa, sense haver desvelat tots els secrets del bunker, però amb una valuosa lliçó apresa.
En: Jordi went back home, without having uncovered all the secrets of the bunker, but with a valuable lesson learned.

Ca: No sempre es podia treballar sol, i la preparació era clau.
En: He couldn’t always work alone, and preparation was key.

Ca: Sabia que tornaria, però aquesta vegada, amb més precaucions i ajuda.
En: He knew he would return, but this time, with more precautions and help.
