<i>Could </i>their <i>inhibítor </i><i>have </i><i>been </i><i>poisoned</i>? <i>And </i><i>that </i><i>was </i><i>how </i><i>Mr. </i>de got infected <i>with </i>the Zombie virus, and then…
“You–you don’t…” The Ark Camp Two delegate’s tone carried a trace of guilt.
He was just about to defend himself when the second–inmand cut in. “Our camp leader died on the fifth floor, but the outbreak still points to the first floor. How do you exin that?<i>” </i>
Theresa leaned backzily, meeting his eyes.
Xavier had told her that the camps needed to be divided. This was as good a time as any.
“That’s easy enough to check,” she said. “See who in your camp could move freely between the first and fifth floors and had contact with your camp leader. Once you find them, you’ll know if I’m telling the truth.”
Her words sent the second–inmand into deep thought.
No<i>… </i><i>there’s </i>no <i>such </i><i>person</i><i>. </i><i>The </i><i>only </i><i>ones </i>who <i>could </i><i>get </i><i>near </i><i>our </i><i>leader </i><i>were </i><i>from </i><i>the </i><i>fourth </i>and fifth floors—and <i>they’d </i><i>never </i>go to <i>the </i>first floor. <i>And </i>no <i>one </i><i>from </i><i>the </i>first floor <i>could </i><i>have </i><i>direct </i>contact with him.
He was still puzzling it over when an urgent rm red. The overhead lights in the room began to sh between white and red.
Red–white alternating–the signal that zombies had appeared on <i>every </i>floor.
Every floor? That’s impossible!
The second–inmand’s face drained of color as frantic calls came through his earpiece.
“Sir! We have a massive zombie outbreak on the second floor!”
“Sir! There are a ton on the third floor!”
“Sir! The fourth floor is overrun!”
“Sir! We’ve got a huge outbreak on the fifth floor again!”
“Where the hell are theying from on the fifth floor?!”
Through the static came the reply: “The dump! They’re climbing up the garbage chute from the first floor!”
The realization hit him like a hammer.
The dump…
He hadpletely forgotten that the garbage system connected the entire building. If the zombies could climb up from below, then someone could just as easily drop the virus down from above.

And then he thought about the food the camp leader had eaten–barely two bites before vomiting blood.
Could it be…
“Sir! What do we do?!”
The second–inmand shook himself back to the present. Right now, the priority wasn’t finding the source–it was surviving the crisis.
“Raaagh!”
“Raaagh!”
“Raaagh!”
The threat was far worse than when Bayard’s infection had turned a few people.
A flood of zombies erupted from the garbage chute, pouring out of the opening where trash was normally dumped. They scrambled over each other in droves, snarling, seeking fresh prey.
The main doors shattered under the pounding of the horde.
“Everyone to the fifth floor to assist!”
“Raaah!”
But even as he shouted, the zombies at the entrance tore through the nearest guards, dragging them under.
With their defenders gone–most having been sent away earlier to “investigate” the other camps–the second–inmand found himself nearly alone. Gunshots cracked through the air as he fired and

Bang<i>! </i>Bang!
The shots only drew more zombies. With that, he shoved a fourth–floor manager into their path and retreated fast.
The survivors–seven from Ark Camp Three, five from Ark Camp Two, and only Morgan and Theresa from Ark Camp One–shoved the long banquet tables and cabs together to form a small barricade.
Only Morgan and Theresa stayed still; the others unleashed their abilities to keep the zombies at bay.
“Where the hell are theseing from now?! What do we do?!” someone shouted.
“We hold out! I’ve already called for backup!” the second–inmand barked, rushing in to join them. His metal–based ability red, and with a sharp motion, a dozen steel knives and forks flew from the table, spinning through the air to cut down zombies.
“You idiot! You expect us to hold out against a horde like this?!” someone from Ark Camp Two yelled.
“You’re one to talk! It’s because of you we’re in this mess!” The second–inmandshed out, his ws
