“They’ve learned,” Ryan said. “They’ve lea
rned they can fuse. They’re doing it on their own now. Willingly. Every time we blow them apart, they reform bigger.”
“What about fire?” Olive asked.
Ryan shook his head. “Takes too long to kill the brains. All it does is turn them into balls of fiery death. They just keep coming, only now with flames on ’em, burning everything in their path.”
“This is why we didn’t see as many,” Connor said.
“They’re flocking together. Growing.”
“Only so high, thankfully,” Ryan said. “After about two or three stories, gravity seems to set in, and they hit a limit. But it’s a damned big limit.”
“Where was this shot?” Dr. McGowan asked.
“Town called Foster, about twenty miles outside Wallingford. Back near ground zero.”
“So, they haven’t learned it here yet?” Connor asked.
Ryan scratched his stubble. “They’re starting to.
There are reports of it happening at the border. Won’t be long now before the ones outside this base figure it out. Which is why we need to get to work on that antidote. But first, let’s get you all cleaned up and fed. This way.” Ryan motioned for them to follow, and made his way out of the office.
Connor looked at Am, grabbed her hand. She squeeze
d back.
Somewhere outside,
soldiers shouted to each other, civilians practiced with guns, and helicopter blades started up again. A war was coming. A war not just for their land, but for humanity. Connor leaned in and kissed Amanita.
She smiled.
He smiled back.
She kissed him again.
Despite what was on the video, some things still felt awesome.
