THE SUN WAS REALLY BEATING DOWN on Noah’s back as they turned around the corner of the street, going back the way they had come so as to avoid the warehouse of infected. More buildings were collapsed on the roads, ivy and vegetation stretching up as far as the eye could see, hanging down from gutters and winding through window panes. It had been a couple hours since she had first started seeing everything, and she had to admit, it was starting to get a little boring. Every street was the same. Every building was destroyed. Every person was infected.
Except for them. The only ones walking, talking and, most especially, still breathing.
Tess had stopped a few seconds ago, Noah and Ellie just behind her as Joel took up the rear, a large, grand building pushed up by debris on all sides except the front. The windows were still mostly intact, but only shadows sat inside, not clean enough to see further in. But the worst thing was the front door; fungus spread out over the wood, sprouting out at the steps.
“You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me,” Tess complained, looking up to the highest windows. “Well, there’s a way across from the top floor.”
“Well, then I guess it’s fine,” Ellie mumbled.
“We used to take it all the time,” Tess assured her.
“Okay.”
Noah ignored the two of them, wandering up to the fungus. She stared at it for a second, lowering herself to view it more carefully, before standing back up straight. She threw her boot down into it, cracking it easily.
