Luck seemed to be on Donald's side in a twisted way, as suddenly Willie shouted, "They're moving.""What's happening?" Elizabeth demanded.In a panicked voice, Willie said, "Some of them are heading this way.""What?" the group blurted out."Why are they suddenly heading for us?" Betty asked as they looked in the direction of the base. "Did they somehow notice us even though we're far away?""Whatever the reason may be, we need to get ready," said Elizabeth. "Donna, can I count on you to slip past the zombies to help the others back at the base?""I can't leave you unguarded," Donna said as she glanced at the rest of the group.Donald agreed. The group wasn't capable of taking on a large group of zombies. The twins were obviously out of the question, and he didn't know how strong the rest of the group were. Betty had earth manipulation, but if she could only shift some dirt around, it would have no effect on the zombies. Robert had to rely on physical strength since healing wasn't goi

"Ready?" Donald asked as he studied the group in front of him.Even though they seemed reluctant, they still nodded. Donald returned the nod. Willie launched himself into the air before heading off in one direction. The zombies didn't seem to notice him and continued to claw at the rest of the survivors. Betty stepped forward with a grimace on her face as she pointed her hands toward the crowd of zombies.At first, nothing seemed to happen. Then he noticed how something seemed to be moving beneath the zombies. A couple of them stumbled, giving Donald a view of a forming mound. It was only a few inches tall, and the only reason he had been able to spot it was because he had been watching out for it. Betty's power really was weak if that was all she was capable of.More mounds began to appear, causing the zombies to stumble. Some of the stumbling zombies

As Anna was the last one to be brought down from the roof, the group observed the carnage up close. Betty had a grimace on her face as she blocked her mouth and nose with her sleeve. Willie, on the other hand, was spinning circles above them. Donald really wondered what the kid's power's limitations were. It seemed like he could stay up there for as long as he wanted.If Willie could remain in the air indefinitely, then he would never have to worry about zombies getting to him except when he needed food, shelter, and sleep. Donald intended to ask him about it later because it felt like that shouldn't be the case. That kind of advantage wasn't something he thought the system would let them have so early without some consequences."Betty, Anna, come here," Elizabeth called as she made a waving motion.Next to her was Donna, who had a foot on one of the crawling zombies to keep it in place. It clawed desperately at Elizabeth, who stood a little bit away so it wouldn't be touching her, bu

Seeing the look in their eyes, Donald found himself saying, "It'll be fine. We'll work it out."This appeased them as their uncertain expressions transformed into smiles. He probably shouldn't have said that. Donald knew that there was no guarantee that everything would be okay and that he shouldn't be getting their hopes like that. It would hurt if things went wrong, but he was reminded of his little sister and couldn't bring himself to tear them down.Out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed how Elizabeth was smiling at him and how the tense atmosphere wasn't as heavy as before. Robert's expression had lightened up while Betty huffed and crossed her arms across her chest. She didn't look as murderous as before, but she still threw dark looks in Donna's direction. The woman ignored them, choosing to focus her attention on Elizabeth.Donald took the le

After giving them some time to discuss, Donald approached the huddled group and asked, "Well, have you come to a decision?"The group broke apart as Elizabeth said, "Yes. We want to attempt the pincer attacker first. If that fails, then we will fall back on leading them back here to thin the numbers out. The last resort would be to lead them to another group of survivors."At the last part, she looked pained when saying it. He was admittedly surprised to hear that they would consider that option. Donald had been sure they would have never accepted the idea. Glancing at the other members, he suspected that Donna had made a very convincing argument as to why it should be kept as an option. Thinking about it, he could see why it was a good idea to keep it."I see that you've incorporated all my suggestions," he said.
