During the first hour they made good headway, considering their circumstances. Even though carrying Chris took a lot of effort, they saw no new dangers and regained hope. They were on the main road again, so Fort Weeks could not be too far away now.

“Pssst, papa, I won the game. There are people there,” Fiona whispered and pointed toward some far-away trees.

Gradually, several undead creatures came in sight. They had noticed the group and were now lurching slowly, but steadily in their direction. Ray cast a worried glance at Scott. Unlike their friend who carried his weight steadily like a pack mule, Ray and Phil were visibly exhausted. They would not be able to run from danger while carrying Chris. The distance between the zombies and their group did not shrink during the next half hour, but they also could not shake them off.

After a while, more pursuers appeared. With every mile they covered, more of the undead noticed them. A short time later, ten creatures were already on their trail.

“Don’t look back, kids, just keep on walking,” Phil said through clenched lips.

“Ray, I see more and more of them,” Scott whispered.

“I know. We have to keep moving. We would have no chance fighting them here. We only have a baseball bat and no hands free to defend ourselves. Can you carry Chris by yourself?”

Scott growled. “I can try.” They put the makeshift stretcher down. Scott lifted Chris over his shoulder. “We have to somehow get rid of these fucking beasts,” he said.

“Get rid of these fucking beasts,” Robbie parroted him.

“Sorry, Phil,” Scott apologized.

They accelerated their pace as much as they could, but gradually they slowed down again. An injured Chris and the two young children didn’t allow them to walk any faster.

Scott panted and sweated profusely. He longed for a sip of cool water. Ray looked at him and noticed his heavy breathing.

“Should I take him?”

“You can barely hold the baseball bat,” Scott groaned, flashing a pained smile.

Their undead pursuers had moved even closer now. They were about a hundred yards away, and their number had increased to twenty— and unlike Scott, they were not running out of breath. They were not hampered by pains in the knees, and they did not need water. It was only a matter of time when they would finally reach the group.

Scott began to stagger, and Ray had to support him. The strenuous last days were now taking their toll on the husky lumberjack due to not enough water, food and sleep. Scott was panting like a steam locomotive now, and the children were also whining non-stop, as they too were exhausted. Phil tried to calm them down, but to little effect. Now he carried them alternately, first Robbie and then Fiona. Meanwhile, the horde crept closer. Step by step. Yard by yard. Inexorably. Relentlessly. The distance became shorter and shorter.

To make things worse, the road was now leading slightly upward, which slowed them down even further. Then they reached the top of a hill from which the road curved downwards again.
