Specter Squad crossed the southern road.
The eastern contact reached the next intersection before them.
It came through the side of an abandoned loading truck, forcing the rear doors apart as it entered the road. Torn black fabric still covered its shoulders, while the remains of an SAS harness had fused into the tissue across its chest.
The infected did not charge immediately. It moved toward the center of the road and watched the four DASFs approach.
"Contact at ten o'clock," Chancel reported. "Three o'clock is still closing."
Specter lowered his HCMAR.
"Blades."
The squad drew their monomolecular weapons.
Warden moved ahead of Chancel. Harrow separated toward the opposite side, leaving Specter in the center while the ordinary infected continued pouring from the warehouse streets behind them.
The fallen Cell member attacked first.
