Chapter 125 Narrow Escape
“Yeah. So, stay sharp. Eyes everywhere.”
Cecelia’s gaze never stopped scanning.
Before long, they’d passed the stretch she and Hendrick had already scouted.
From here on, the road was blocked–zombie corpses, dead rats, overturned vehicles.
Hendrick pulled over and got out to start clearing the way.
Timothy, Ryan, and Matthew joined him.

Ivy looked at Cecelia. “Cece, shouldn’t we help? We’re a separate team now. We should pull our weight.”
“Ivy, you three stay in the car. I’ll go check things out.”
Cecelia hopped out and headed for the group.
When she walked up-
Ryan’s expression shifted. He bit down hard and turned away, sidling closer to Matthew.
Matthew shot him a look. He reminded Ryan, “Vow of silence.”
“I know. Quit nagging!”
Ryan gritted his teeth. He told himself, Not talking when I see Cecelia. I can do this.
“How are you clearing this?”
Cecelia walked up to Timothy and Hendrick,
Timothy knew she was offering to help.
Separate teams or not, they were still cooperating until they cleared Merriton.
Going their own way came after.
He thought for a moment. “Regina’s drone shows this stretch isn’t too bad. We just need to shove the flipped vehicles aside.”
Hendrick added, “Matthew and I can handle it.”

His wind ability could assist Matthew in pushing the overturned cars off the road.
Timothy nodded and turned to Ryan. “Burn the rat corpses.”
“On it!”
Ryan replied and deliberately did not look in Cecelia’s direction.
Timothy addressed Cecelia last. “This stretch is easy. You can head back to your car.”
They didn’t need her.
“Mm.”
Cecelia turned and walked back.
But instead of getting in, she circled the vehicle, eyes on the surrounding buildings.

Randy and Cillian from Jayson’s crew had also gotten out, jogging eagerly toward Timothy’s people.
Cecelia listened without drawing attention.
ments later, Jayson’s guys were helping Hendrick and Matthew clear zombie corpses.
About half an hour.
The road was open.
Timothy called everyone to mount up.
That’s when a familiar figure came sprinting toward them.
“Jayson?!”
Randy spotted him first and shouted.
But when he saw what was chasing Jayson, the color drained from his face. “What the-?!”
“Mutated rats! Chasing Jayson out of a mall. About 20 or 30 of them!”
Regina had her head out the window, screaming the warning.

Timothy acknowledged and called his fighters into position.
Randy and Cillian scrambled backward, panicking.
Their abilities were still drained from before and hadn’t fully recovered yet.
They had nothing to throw at mutated rats right now.
Cecelia stayed by the car and signaled Ivy to lock the doors.
Ivy could see the chase in the rearview mirror. Worry was all over her face.
Cecelia flashed her an OK sign.
Twenty or thirty mutated rats? Not exactly a crisis.
