"That seems like fun."
"Not fun," Commander Li warned immediately, his voice quieter now as he removed his hand from my arm. "Whatever they're doing in that hole... they're never happy with just one. We need to get as far away from that wall as possible."
I raised an eyebrow and slowly looked around the basement again.
The entire thing was maybe a hundred feet by sixty feet. There were concrete walls on every side, one staircase leading upward, several exhausted soldiers, a growing collection of traumatized civilians, and a giant black hole in the wall that occasionally swallowed screaming people whole.
"And just how far away do you realistically think we can get?" I asked him, cocking my head to the side.
Li opened his mouth before he closed it again.
Yeah.
Exactly.
The zombies had dragged every single person in this basement down here for a reason. If there was a safe place to hide, somebody probably would have found it already.
Or died trying.
Either way, same result.
