Chapter 289
The wind blew the gray ash across the broken gate. It looked like dirty snow. Everything was completely quiet. The loud alarm horn had stopped. The heavy machine guns were out of bullets. The soldiers on the high walls did not move. They only stared.Outside the gate, the Siege Zombies stood in a perfect line. They were giant monsters covered in thick steel, heavy concrete, and rusty iron chains. They did not groan. They did not try to bite the air. They just waited.High up on the metal balcony, Colonel Rask took a deep breath.His heart was beating very fast. He hated this feeling. He was a man of absolute control. He loved rules. He loved perfect lines. The salute from the dead monster outside made him feel sick. It was wrong. The dead should not understand military salutes. The dead should be stupid animals.Rask looked down at his black boots. There was spilled tea on the shiny leather. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a clean white cloth. Very slowly, he bent down. He w

Rask saw this from his balcony. His face twisted with rage. This was his worst nightmare. Disorder. Chaos."Control them!" Rask screamed into his radio. "I do not care how many you have to shock! Keep order!"But it was too late. There were too many people running.Then, Rask made a new choice. He had to protect his fort. He had to use his rules to save himself.He grabbed the main microphone for the giant speakers. His voice boomed over the whole base."All civilians! Move behind the secondary blast shields! Immediately! Run to the inner sector! Guards, let them pass! Move the meat to the back! Prepare to seal the inner doors!"The guards stopped trying to hit the people. They pointed their guns toward the back of the fort. "Go! Go! Run!" they yelled.The crowd ran. It was a stampede of dirty, scared humans.Kevin grabbed Jonah’s arm. "Jonah! We have to move! If they break the gate, we are dead!"Jonah did not move. He stood perfectly still, watching the giant main gate. "Wait," Jona
Chapter 287
The wind outside the walls blew hard. The gray ash storm was very thick today. You could not see far. But through the open slits in the thick walls, the guards in the watchtowers saw them coming out of the gray dust.Shadows. Giant, slow, heavy shadows.The first one stepped out of the ash storm and into the clear area near the gate.The guards on the wall gasped. Some of them stepped back.It was a zombie, but it was not like any zombie they had ever seen.Normally, the dead were thin. They were just skin and bones. They wore old, dirty clothes. They ran fast, or they crawled on the ground. They were easy to kill if you shot them in the head.This monster was different. It was massive. It was over seven feet tall. But it was not just tall; it was incredibly wide.Its body was covered in heavy debris. It looked like the zombie had walked through a junk yard and the junk had melted into its dead flesh.It wore a rusted car door tied to its chest with thick metal chains. The chains cut
Chapter 286
The loud horn blasted through the cold air.WEEEE-OOOO! WEEEE-OOOO!The sound was sharp and painful. It hurt the ears. It bounced off the high concrete walls of Fort Ashfall. The red lights on the tall watchtowers began to spin. They painted the gray ash falling from the sky with bright red circles."Alarm drill!" a guard shouted. His voice was rough. He held a long black rifle in his hands. "Drop your tools! Move to the yellow lines! Move! Move! Move!"Jonah was in the main courtyard. He was holding his wooden shovel. He was covered in dark dirt and gray ash. When the horn blew, he did exactly what he was supposed to do. He dropped the shovel. It hit the hard ground with a quiet clack.He kept his head down. He walked quickly to the thick yellow line painted on the stone floor.All around him, the workers and civilians panicked. They were so scared. But they were not scared of monsters outside the walls. They were scared of the guards inside the walls.A young mother grabbed her litt

Jonah scrubbed his way toward the cages of the smugglers. He was very close to the old man with the gray beard. The old man was sitting on the floor, leaning against the cold steel bars.The guards were far away. The camera swept right."You clean very well," the old man whispered. His voice was like dry paper rubbing together.Jonah did not stop scrubbing. He did not look at the man. "I do what I am told.""No, you don't," the old man chuckled softly. "I see your eyes. You are not a broken dog. You are a wolf pretending to be a dog. You are counting the guards. You are watching the cameras."Jonah’s hand stopped for a fraction of a second. Then he kept scrubbing. "You should stay quiet, old man. Talk will get you punished.""I am already dead," the old man whispered. He coughed a wet, sick cough. "They caught me bringing medicine to the lower camps. They will kill me soon. I do not care. But you... you are looking for a way out.""I am just cleaning the floor," Jonah said simply."Yo
Chapter 284
Jonah’s chest felt tight. A hot wave of anger rushed through his blood. He wanted to stand up. He wanted to take his heavy metal bucket and smash it into the fat guard's face. He wanted to break the steel bars with his bare hands. He wanted to kill every soldier in this building.But he could not. Not yet.If he fought now, he would die. The children would die. Kevin and Lisa would die. He had to be smart. He had to be patient. Patience was his weapon.Jonah forced his hand to move. He dipped the brush in the water. Scrape. Scrape. Scrape. He put his head down. He hid his anger. He became a ghost again.Two guards walked past him. Their black boots hit the floor with a loud sound. Clack. Clack. Clack. They stopped near Jonah. They did not look at him. To them, Jonah was just a piece of trash cleaning the floor. He was not a person.The guards started to talk. They were bragging."Did you see the new guy they brought in last night?" the first guard asked. He was tall and thin."The one
