Chapter Nineteen

*Marc*

An explosion shakes the underground passageway.

I throw my arms over my head as rocks beat down on top of us. Rumbles roar down the tunnel and back, vibrating the rock-strewn ground and shaking the cave walls. Bent at the hip from the low ceiling, I awkwardly maneuver through the tunnel, led by a couple of Creations who came to our rescue when the Zombies crashed into the labs, delivering us to a safety shaft that dropped us into this cave-like passage clouded by dust and grime. The Creations say it leads to a bunker a few miles down. My muscles spasm from the amount of time we’ve been cramped down here.

“Wait a minute.” Isaiah, one of the Creations leading, stops us. “I need to find the entry from over here.” He runs ahead.

I blink the rock dust from my eyes and check on Sean at the front of our line on the other side of Seits.

Jord, in front of me, looks away from Seits beside him and says, “That may be the third dynamite we set going off.”

At the end of the line, I check behind me at the blocked path, crowded by fallen rock and debris.

“Okay,” Isaiah comes jogging back down the tunnel. His twin, Ingram behind him. “I found us an entry to the sewer passage from over here.” A flashlight is strapped to his arm. The light jumps over the group of us huddled against a wall.

Crouched to avoid knocking his head against the sharp rock, Jord moves in front of Sean to shake Isaiah’s hand. “Thank you for your help. We were outmanned up there. If it had not been for you lifting that hatch, that would’ve been the end of our road.”

“And I would’ve hated going out as a Zombie’s meal!” Sean throws his arms out as he straightens his back and smashes his head against the rock. “Argh!”

I lift my gaze to the dark rock and shake my head. “Why do you think he’s hunched over, Sean?” I punch him in the back. “Be smarter.”

Sean groans, rubbing his head.

Isaiah snickers. “You’re all welcome. When a Creation needs help, we’re usually right there.” He chucks his thumb over his shoulder. “The opening is a mile down. Watch your heads on the way. It doesn’t seem like the boring of this tunnel was properly completed.”

We must be at least eight feet underground, trotting through this safety passage I assume was built under Highrum years ago.

Ingram passes each of us a small flashlight. “We may need to stay down here until those Rumblers move out. They’re covering blocks up there.”

“Rumblers, huh?” Sean laughs once. “That’s a cool name for them.”

“It is,” I follow. I look behind me once more, checking the shadows are empty and we’re still clear. We lost the flight attendants to the first line of Zombies, and the two Normals quickly turned and attacked us too.

“Since we won’t be able to make it above ground, we’ll take you all to our spot.”

“I hate to break it to you, but underground and in shadows is where they like to hide.
