Morton led his squad out using his spatial ability, dropping them right into the middle of the Level 1 and 2 mutated zombie pack.
Cade’s Level 4 lightning ability lit up the sky-one massive discharge vaporized a swath of Level 1 mutated zombies.
His wind-type teammates swept through the aftermath, collecting crystals.

Morton gave him a look. “With what? Millions of zombies. How many shells would that take?”
“Then what? If this keeps up, the Western District’s done for!”
Cade was losing it.
Morton’s eyes drifted to a massive building in the distance. Something about it set every alarm bell in his body ringing.

His expression hardened. “We’re pulling back.”
Wesley saw Morton return with a bag of crystals, peered inside-maybe a hundred or two-and frowned. “That’s it?”

Morton paused.
He exchanged a glance with the general, then called out, “Send them in.”
Timothy, Hendrick, and Regina entered the command tent.
Inside, they found Morton with a cigarette clamped between his teeth and a hard look on his face, standing beside a middle-aged man whose presence radiated authority
“What is it? Something about the Eastern District zombies?”,
Morton’s sharp gaze fixed on Timothy.
Timothy nodded. “Our teammate Regina is a psychic ability user, and she recently developed a secondary ability-something like… a prophecy.”
“Prophecy?”
Morton’s eyes narrowed. He studied the young woman before him. “Let’s hear it.”
