The sky was just beginning to lighten.
But around Lockwood Squad, it was completely silent.
Viewed from above, the entire area looked like a patch of scorched earth.
The bodies of zombies and charred remains were piled up everywhere.
In an open space on the fourth floor, many people were sprawled on the ground, completely exhausted.
They had just survived a hellish night.
Until the very last zombie was killed.
"Heh heh heh...
We held out. We held out."
Julian Dempsey chuckled, leaning against a wall.
"Walsh? You're awake?"
Molly Ulrich was handing out small amounts of water and food to everyone.
She was pleasantly surprised to see Walsh's eyes open.
"Ms. Ulrich...
I... I'm still alive?"
Walsh looked down at his wound and saw that the Gold Spike was gone.
The wound still ached when he moved, but he felt much better.
"Walsh, you're finally awake."
Eric Stone walked over, supported by Kurt Garrison.
