Doomsday Revenge: Payback Time (Josie) novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91

The line of sight was perfect. From the top, you could see anything coming from a mile away.

Perfect. This is the spot,” Josie said. “Pick your rooms, but the top two floors are ours.”

Zane finally spoke up. “Can I ask why we’re here? I mean, what the hell is actually happening?

Josie nodded. “Since we’re neighbors now, I’ll give it to you straight. A storm is coming. A big one. And it’s going to rain for a solid month.”

The rain isn’t even the worst part. The real nightmare starts after. Every plant and animal out there is going to mutate overnight.”

That harmless little flower in the yard? It’ll turn into something that can swallow a cow whole.”

That pet dog you love? It’ll turn around and eat you alive.”

Plant and animal mutations are just like the undead or superpowers–there’s no logic to it. No rules.

A massive tree might stay normal, while the tiny blades of grass at its roots turn into killers.”

A lion or a tiger might not change at all, but a centipede could become a monster.”

Their diet is going to change, too. They won’t need sunlight or rain anymore. They’ll live on human flesh and the rotting meat of

he undead.”

Bottom line: the undead aren’t our only problem. We’ve got Mutants to deal with now, too.”

And those Basic Undead? Any of them that get caught in the rain will evolve. They’ll jump straight to Tier–L”

Soon, Tier–ls will be everywhere.”

The easy life for humanity? Forget it. It’s over.”

The room went dead silent. Everyone was floored.

Zane was spiraling, his voice shaking. “How… how is that possible? If that happens, how many of us will even be left?”

Exactly,” Josie said with a grim nod. “This rain is going to wipe out half the population. The real purge is starting.”

The others sucked in sharp breaths, too stunned to even find their voices.

Winnie didn’t say a word. She just stepped closer to Josie, sticking to her like glue.

Vinnie made up her mind right then and there. She was going to stick to Big Sister Josie like glue. She wouldn’t leave even if it illed her. From now on, whatever Josie said was law.

On her own, she wouldn’t last five minutes out there.

f she wanted to keep her head on her shoulders, she wasn’t going anywhere. Period.

Where’d you get your intel?” Zane asked.

Can’t say,” Josie replied bluntly. “Believe me or don’t. It’s your call.”

ince Josie put it that way, how could they not believe her?

he was more cautious than anyone they knew.

Once Josie picked out a room, Winnie grabbed the one right next to her. She set up the kitchen gear in the room across the hall.

The others moved to the lower floors. Without a word, they instinctively left the entire top floor to the two girls.

They knew their place and respected the boundaries.

osie was satisfied.

She liked living with smart people.

If this rain was going to turn every plant and animal into a mutant, they couldn’t have anything green near the house. Nor a single blade

Once Zane and the guys settled in, they grabbed shovels and spades and headed straight for the yard.

They hacked away every scrap of grass they could see until the yard was completely bald.

For hundreds of yards around the house, they stripped the earth bare. Nothing but dirt remained Seeing how hard they worked, Josie was pretty satisfied with her new neighbors.
