“Get the injured back to the shelter of the vans,” Whitley called out. Toussaint copied the command, bellowing it more loudly.

“What happened?” Sholto asked.

“They came from the north,” Whitley said, turning his gaze that way. “Must have heard us clearing the road. We’d seen a few dozen. Thirty-four, I think, before that large group arrived. They were spread out over about a quarter mile, but still, they had to have come from the same place, right?”

“Probably,” Sholto said. He looked north. The road was empty, and relatively clear. The crash barriers and signs had been removed, though the bodies of the undead now littered the ground.

“Twenty lightly wounded, sir,” Toussaint said, reporting back. “Johnson’s dead. Neck wound.”

“She’s dead? I thought she’d outlive us all,” Whitley said. “Wait, is that it?”

“Aye, sir. One fatality.”

“How many of the enemy? Two thousand?”

“About seventeen hundred,” Toussaint said.

“One dead for seventeen hundred,” Whitely said. “Can we win with that ratio?”

“One dead so far,” Toussaint said. “I didn’t want to ask the wounded whether they were immune. I’ve got someone watching each of them.”

“How many ran?” Sholto asked. “I counted around a hundred.”

“I make it ninety-two,” Toussaint said.

“And they’ll run back to the harbour,” Whitley said. “The admiral will send reinforcements. Let’s get back to work. Clear the road of the undead. Put them into the ditch.”
