Chapter 68: Strange Reunion (2)
The squad made their way to the second floor. Strangely enough, they could hear the groans of the undead, but were yet to find one.
As usual, Alaric remained in the center of a 3x3 file formation. It was to protect him and also to restrict his movement so he wouldn’t dash out after spotting a ’subject of curiosity’.
Carr and Mika, his right-hand man, led the group through the winding corridors, heading towards the research lab as Alaric wanted.
"Sir!"
"What is it?" Carr asked.
"I think I have found something you’d be interested in," the soldier responded, pointing outside the window.
Carr walked to the window. A dozen or so zombies were standing around the bulky undead they had seen before. Even peculiar was the fact that they just stood there doing nothing.
"So many walkers won’t just appear out of nowhere," Carr said.
They all knew walkers were slow. Back when they were on the ground, there wasn’t a single one in sight. So, how come there were so many of them there now?
The obvious answer was they were waiting for something.
But walkers can’t plan ambushes. Their brains are as slow as their feet.
"Someone could be controlling them," Alaric chimed in, fixing his cracked glasses. "It will explain how a mighty zombie like the one we saw ended up dead."
