You and Portland run by the side of her body as Jesse helps Steven into Jeep’s front seat. You skip your arms under Serena’s limp torso and lift. It feels strange to hold her as her body sags in your arms, and her lifeless eyes stare up at you. You can smell the burnt skin and sees shards of metal sticking from her flesh. Portland lifts Serena’s legs, and one twists at a strange angle, causing a bone to jot out. With a gasp, Portland closes her eyes, and the two of you somehow manage to carry the body onto the back of the Jeep.
More machine-gun fire rips out as Megan fires at the next hybrid, who rushes from the forest. “There’s a lot more coming!” You see a dozen bodies running from the tree line, their elongated legs carrying them faster than any normal infected.
“Drive us out of here,” Jesse shouts.
Megan hops in the driver’s seat while the rest of you take your seats.
Portland swings around to you. “Please tell me we’re going to the farming community now. I don’t think I can take much more of this. It’s just…look out!”
She points behind you, and you turn just in time to see one of the hybrids leaping through the air and latching his slender fingers onto the Jeep’s bumper. As he drags, he pulls himself forward, mouth open and tongue drooling.
Megan picks up speed, and the Jeep hits a dune on the dirt road, causing the chassis to bounce. The hybrid remains latched onto the bumper. You reach for the M-16 just as Portland lunges for it. Your hand hits the barrel, and Portland knocks it over the side of the Jeep and onto the road.
You feel something slam onto the front of the Jeep and turn to see a hybrid scrambling over the front hood. Megan twists the wheel, causing the hybrid to fall and flatten. It jams its claws into the hood and stays connected.
“I need some help up here,” Jesse shouts as she stares into the face of the hybrid on the hood. She scrambles to grab Megan’s M-16, though the strap is wrapped firmly around her chest.
“I’m trying to drive here!” Megan shouts at her.
“And I’m trying not to die,” Jesse shouts back.
