Chapter 12

It took us about twenty minutes, heading south by southeast, to realize just how damn lucky we’d been with picking our entry vector—or that was how long it took for our luck to run out. Maybe the shit-ton of ammo we’d had to waste to clear Cabourg should have given it away, but I’d chalked that up to a fluke. The beach had been empty, after all. But when we kept running into groups of undead, whether we stuck to the roads or tracked across the fields, one thing soon became obvious.

France—and extrapolating from that, Europe—was a zombie-infested hellhole.

And it wasn’t like shooting one group took care of the problem.

It was noon by the time that Cabourg and most of the coast line disappeared from view behind us, cutting our progress down to less than a mile an hour. Over the last hours, Richards had tried to establish a routine tactic—let recon try to deal with any stragglers they couldn’t avoid after sneaking around larger groups—but even to me, it was obvious that this wasn’t going to cut it. Next time we were all gathered in a loose bunch, Nate left his post at my side and strode through the soldiers to where Red and Bucky were trying to look like they knew what they were doing. I was sure they did—or thought they did—but considering that this situation much more resembled our MO of how to survive the apocalypse than what they had to deal with, it only made sense to share tactics. Neither of them looked surprised as Nate stepped up to them, but their closed-off expressions were far from inviting.

“You know that this will only get us all killed if you keep it up much longer?” Nate spoke loudly enough that he was easily heard by everyone around, another change from the quiet decision-making process of before.

Bucky, already gearing up for a fight, wasn’t impressed by Nate’s statement.

“You’re the one who has two girls along who wouldn’t have passed our standards for field deployment,” he offered, his voice equally carrying back to us. I felt my teeth grate against each other before I’d willfully started gritting them, but Nate shrugged off Bucky’s taunt without a single muscle moving in his face.

“And yet they both survived that first summer without having a hint of combat expertise or could hide behind secure walls. I’m not afraid for them—besides the fact that we’d have their backs if needed. It’s the rest of us I’m concerned about. Three people at random rotations aren’t enough.”

While Hamilton was still thinking of the next insult he could hurl in my general direction, Red jumped into the breach. His entire demeanor was that he was talking to Nate at eye-level, not down from above like the idiot-in-charge. “Fire teams of three to four people, two out, thirty to sixty minute rotations?”

Nate gave a nod that seemed equally leveled, like it was the smart and obvious solution.

“That gives everyone plenty of time to rest, and I’m sure we can secure our own backs.
