The bridge to the northern highway was overrun with thousands of zombies—Runners, Climbers, and classic shamblers.
"We can't cross that," Lolly whispered.
"We can," Geo said, loading explosives. "But it'll be loud."
Eko grinned. "I love loud."
They lured the horde, set off a massive explosion, and dashed across as flaming bodies fell into the river below.
But halfway…
A Climber ambushed them.
It slashed Eko's arm—the exact same spot.
His vision blurred.
He collapsed.
Lolly screamed. Geo shot the creature, but Eko was barely conscious.
Lolly lifted his head. "Eko, look at me!"
Eko's eyes glowed faintly red.
