CHAPTER FIVE

Baker kept the pedal to the metal, speeding around the northern part of the town toward the industrial district. While the streets themselves were mostly clear of zombies, hundreds stretched down side streets and into the fields to the north.

"Mother of God," Kowalski muttered. "That must be the horde the scouts were talking about."

Copeland and Johnson looked north toward a writhing mass of rotting flesh clustered by a building just off the river.

Johnson squinted, confusion evident on his face. "What the hell is that place?"

"It's right on the river," Kowalski replied. "Could be boat rental? Fishing supplies? Who knows. All I know is, I don't want to drive up there and find out."

"Ain't that the truth," Johnson agreed.

Baker, gripping the wheel, glanced at Copeland. "Do you have any idea where I'm going, Sarge?"

Copeland went back to studying the map as closely as he could, pulling out a small magnifying glass to get a better idea of where the target was and how to get there.

"This circle is pretty damn big," Sergeant Copeland said, "but best I can tell, it's another mile up."

"Jesus," Johnson whispered.

Kowalski shook his head. "Yeah, Sarge, let's hope you're reading that wrong, because a mile is not a lot of space between us and the fishing horde."

Sergeant Copeland's expression hardened. "It just means that we're going to have to move fast, Kowalski."

Kowalski and Johnson shared a concerned look, knowing that as soon as they fired off a single shot, the mob would start shambling in their direction.

"Hey, Sarge, I think we're here," Baker announced, breaking the tension.

Copeland looked up from his map as the soldiers in the back seat leaned toward the middle to see out the front. A few hundred yards up were several warehouses that lined the road, with a few dozen more just beyond them, stretching in all directions.

Johnson's eyes widened. "How in the hell are we supposed to find them in here?"

"Baker, pull in between those first two buildings and park it," Sergeant Copeland ordered.

Baker hesitated. "You want to walk it?"

"We have to assume that this place is still guarded by Chosen members," Sergeant Copeland explained. "Do you really want to let them know that we're here?"

Baker let out a long sigh before shaking his head and following the Sergeant's orders. "Well, what's a little more cardio."

Baker pulled the SUV to a stop in the road between two warehouses. A handful of zombies took notice and began wandering in their direction, with a few more emerging from behind parked transfer trucks docked in the bays.

"Kowalski, get up top and see what you can see," Sergeant Copeland commanded. "We'll handle the company."

"I'm on it, Sarge," Kowalski replied, throwing open the door, slinging his sniper rifle over his shoulder, and jogging down the road.

As Kowalski approached the first truck, a zombie came staggering out from the other side. However, he paid the ghoul no attention, simply darting around it and continuing on. Thirty yards down, above one of the parked trucks, Kowalski spotted a
