March exited the gas station with a sigh. “Dumb store. No beer. Come on, time is running out.”

“Sometimes we spin our wheels and take naps, other times you say time is running out,” Clown protested. “You know, if we’re in such a hurry, you could have helped refuel the tank instead of your alcoholism.”

“I’m your fearless leader! I work with my head. You work with your hands.”

“Well then, what did you get into your head back there, fearless leader?” Roach accused as he fiddled with the artillery truck’s fuel cap. “We’re just stupidly riding back and forth. As if you’ve forgotten which way it is to the border.”

“I know its distance down to the foot,” March proclaimed. “Well, not everywhere. But in some places. We are currently in such a place. Whenever you worry, remember that I see many things, not just the border.”

“What makes this place so special that you can see from it?” Fatso wondered.

“My sense has some... peculiar features. Don’t worry about them. Just know that it does not lead us astray. The closer we get, the clearer I can see many details. We will not drive in circles any longer. I know the route now.”

“Which way is that?” Roach chirped.

March waved his hand vaguely.

“That way. That’s the cluster we need.”

“‘We’? What do we need it for?”

“Everything. It’s five miles away. Straight shot. This road leads directly there, almost. I can’t see beyond that ‘almost’—maybe it will turn off, but I hope it gets us where we need to go. That cluster will reboot in fifteen minutes.”

“That’s your sense telling you that?” Fatso clarified.

“Yes. As we traveled, I was listening to the area around, looking for an opportunity just like this one. After all, this is the border region. Resets happen here all the time. This cluster is not a small one. It’s about 15 miles long and 8 or 9 miles wile. For the next few hours, there will be no serious infecteds there. They’ve scattered from it, in various directions. We may have just run into a gang of them as they were retreating from the cluster. There were far too many in one place back there, even for a border region. So we have the opportunity to cover about twenty miles without any particular trouble. Then we will be terrifically close to the first border. An hour or two away, perhaps. Unfortunately, nothing in that zone is about to reset, nothing to come to our aid. But we have vehicles, weapons, and my wisdom, with only a short distance to cover.”

“No one can just speed across a three-region boundary,” Roach provided. “And we are running low on people as it is. Things will only get worse from here.”

March shook his head. “It’s not getting worse. Only better. Yes, beasts do exist at that point—where do they not?—but there will only be a few of them.”

“How do you know that?”

“That’s just the kind of area it is. Enough questions. I’m the boss, the head of the group, and you’re the hands.
