They weren't heading out to launch some grand assault on San Diego—let's be real, they didn't have that kind of firepower.
The real goal was to sweep the surrounding area clean of zombies, send a message. Make it clear that you couldn't just waltz up to their shelter whenever you felt like it. They needed to put some fear back into the dead.
Mia and the others moved out beyond the shelter's gates. Aside from Chris and his crew, everyone here was a top-ranked Awakener—some of the best the shelter had.
"Jenny, don't be scared," Chris said, trying to reassure her. "Once we clear out the zombies around here, the shelter'll be a lot safer."
"Oh... okay," Jenny nodded, but something didn't sit right with her. Clearing zombies sounded... well, dangerous as hell.
Especially with those Zombie Kings lurking around—twisted, powerful monsters that made your skin crawl just thinking about them.
God knows which one they might run into tonight...
