When one of them saw Darian and Chadric return, he called out, “You’re back. You guys didn’t get to eat, did you? I saw one of the managers take your share.”
He nced toward the door, then motioned them over in a low voice. “Come here. I’ve still got a little left -let your boy have it.”
The food Darian had found earlier had been divided evenly, so everyone got a share.
Chadric noticed the man had kept back a small rib and shook his head. “We’ve eaten.”
“Oh,e on. That b*stard Bayard took your food. What could you have eaten? Go on, have some.”
“Mr. Duke, really, we’re full,” Darian said with a small wave, ncing at his father.
They exchanged a quick look–both of them thinking the same thing. Norman Duke seemed like someone worth recruiting.
They were just about to go over and chat when a voice groaned from the opposite bunk.
“Hon… my stomach… it hurts.”
“Howe?” Norman looked over at his wife in rm. “Did you eat too fast?”
“I don’t know…” She curled in on herself, grimacing. “It really hurts.”
“Just lie down for a bit. You’ve been working too hardtely.” Norman cleared away the small table from the bed, hid what food was left, and made space for her to rest.
Darian and Chadric shared another look, both reading the situation the same way. They stepped back toward the door. “We’ll give you two some space–go ahead and rest. We’ll take a walk.”
Norman gave them a grateful nod.
With that, the father and son headed toward the women’s quarters. They had five more coworkers there— two brothers whose mother was still alive, and three others whose wives or daughters were housed inside.
They had barely reached the area when a piercing scream split the air.
“Mom! It’s me, Jeb, your eldest! Why are you biting me?!”
In the middle of a growing crowd, an old woman had her jaws locked on a young man’s shoulder, tearing at the flesh until blood poured down his arm.
A younger man–barely in his twenties–tried to pull her off his brother, but no matter how hard he yanked, he couldn’t budge the frail–looking elder.
People ringed the scene in stunned silence.
Most of them were locals from the nearby mountains. When the apocalypse began, Ark Camp Three had

rounded them up forbor. They had never truly witnessed what a zombie outbreak looked like.
“She… she’s turning into a zombie!” someone finally shouted.
That was all it took. A wave of screams erupted as the crowd stumbled backward.
From behind them came more screams–multiple voices from multiple rooms.
“Ahhh!”
“Ahhh–honey!”

A man, drenched in blood, staggered out of a doorway. Behind him, one… two… three… five, six zombies spilled out in pursuit.
“Raaagh!”
The nearest zombie lunged at a living person, mping its jaws down on their neck with a wet, crunching bite.
“Ahhh!”
The entire section erupted in chaos. People bolted in every direction, shoving, tripping, screaming.
And still, from room after room, more blood–soaked zombies emerged. They crashed into the scattering residents, biting and tearing at anything alive–man or woman, fat or thin, it didn’t matter.
“Raaagh!”
“Raaagh!”
“Raaagh!”
“Run, Darian!” Chadric grabbed his son’s hand and dragged him into a sprint.
All around them, panicked residents scattered like headless flies.
The outbreak was concentrated in the women’s quarters–the men’s side was still rtively untouched. They reached their own section just as-
“Raaagh!”
A scream erupted from their dorm. Men nearby rushed toward the noise, curious.
“Stay back!” Chadric barked, pushing forward, but it was toote.
Norman and his wife, whom they had left resting minutes ago, crawled off their bed, their bodies drenched in blood, their eyes clouded over in the dead gray of the infected.
