"We were," Kevin said, wiping his face. "We thought we had to save you. But now you are here. We can stay. The blue light from the Echo Seed is protecting the camp. We can build the wooden walls back up. We can defend the Sanctuary together."Jonah stared at his son. His dark brown eyes turned incredibly serious. "No, Kevin," Jonah said. His deep voice rumbled with absolute certainty. "Defending the walls is no longer an option."Kevin frowned. "What do you mean, Dad? The blue light destroys the zombies. We saw it."Jonah turned and walked toward the open doorway. He looked out into the dark night. He looked down at the valley below."The blue light destroys the monsters," Jonah explained softly, staring into the dark. "But it does not stop human beings."Jonah turned back to face his family."Prophet Cain is not waiting," Jonah announced. The words hung in the cold air like heavy iron weights. "When I ripped myself off the cross, I broke his myth. I proved his religion was a lie. He

"Hold your fire!" Kevin yelled, keeping the shotgun steady. "Wait until it breaks through!"BANG! A massive dent appeared in the center of the solid steel door. The metal screamed and bent inward. The thick iron hinges groaned in protest.Whatever was outside was incredibly, impossibly strong.Kevin’s heart hammered against his ribs. Thump. Thump. Thump. He prepared to die. He prepared to shoot the monster in the face.SCREEEEEEECH! With one final, terrifying pull, the heavy metal door was ripped completely off its hinges. The thick steel tore like a piece of wet paper. The door was thrown aside, crashing into the dirt outside.The doorway was open.A massive cloud of gray dust and dirt swirled in the open frame. The soft blue light from the Echo Seed outside shined through the dust, casting long, strange shadows into the room.A giant silhouette stood in the doorway. Kevin stared down the barrel of his shotgun. His finger tightened on the trigger.The silhouette stepped forward into

Inside the Sanctuary of the First Seed, the air smelled like old dust and dried blood. The heavy metal door was locked tight. The survivors were hiding in the dark.Kevin sat on a broken wooden chair. He held a heavy black shotgun across his knees. He looked down at his lap. His hands were shaking.He was using his one good hand to load the gun. He reached into a small cardboard box. He pulled out a thick, red shotgun shell. He pushed the cold plastic and brass into the bottom of the weapon. Click.Every time he moved his arm, a terrible, hot fire burned in his broken shoulder. The muscles tore a little more. The pain made him dizzy. But Kevin did not stop. He did not care about the pain. He pushed another red shell into the gun. Click.He looked up at the small television screen sitting on the table. The screen was completely black now. It was covered in gray static. But Kevin could still see the image in his mind. He could still see his father hanging on the massive rusted steel c

The lieutenants bowed their heads. They hurried out of the room to execute the frantic orders.For the next two hours, the dead city of the cult turned into an absolute nightmare of preparation.The noise was terrifying. Down in the deep, dark underground pens beneath the stadium, the cultists worked like madmen. They dragged heavy carts filled with raw, bloody animal meat and human corpses. They tossed the meat into the cages to feed the massive monsters.Then, the heavy steel gates were cranked open. SCREEECH.The Elite Zombies walked out. They were huge, gorilla-like monsters with thick iron plates bolted directly into their gray skin. Their arms ended in jagged bone swords. They hissed and snapped their jaws.Brave, terrified cultists ran forward and locked thick iron collars around the monsters' necks. They attached heavy black chains to the collars. It took five strong men to hold the chain for just one Elite Zombie.Behind the Elites, the giant Siege Zombies emerged. They were

BANG! The loud gunshot shocked the quiet courtyard. The heavy bullet hit Brother Elias right in the center of his forehead. The tall man fell backward into the gray ash. His rusty sword clattered to the ground. He was dead instantly. Dark red blood pooled around his head.The crowd screamed and jumped back. They stared at the dead body of their captain in absolute horror.Cain lowered the smoking revolver. His face was a mask of cold, brutal cruelty."He questioned the grand design," Cain roared. His voice was no longer a sweet song. It was a whip striking their backs. "He let the Heretic’s illusion poison his mind! The monsters are not afraid of the giant! The monsters are disgusted by him! They crawl away because his soul is rotten!"Cain pointed the smoking gun at the terrified crowd. "If anyone else wishes to question the evolution," Cain hissed, "step forward now. I will happily grant you the final peace."Nobody moved. Nobody breathed.The fear had returned. But it was not the

The gray ash fell slowly from the dark sky. It landed on the dirt courtyard. It landed on the broken glass. It landed on the heavy, rusted steel cross.The courtyard of the Church of the End was completely, absolutely silent.There were thousands of people standing in the dirt. They wore dirty rags. They held rusty swords and heavy black rifles. Just a few minutes ago, they had been cheering. They had been laughing. They had been waiting to watch the giant man die.Now, nobody laughed. Nobody cheered. They could not even breathe. They all stared at the center of the courtyard. The giant man was gone.Jonah had vanished in a blinding flash of freezing silver light. He had moved so fast that the air had shattered. He had created a sonic boom that blew out the last stained-glass windows of the massive church.The people stared at the heavy steel cross. It was a terrible, impossible sight. The thick steel beam, which was as wide as a tree trunk, was twisted and torn open. The massive ir
