The soldier was getting creepier now. Did people start acting this weird after a bite, Ash wondered. Perhaps becoming a mindless zombie was a nice respite after all this crazy panicked thrashing. Ash shook her head, and looked off to the side.

She did a double-take as another walking corpse stumbled into view. Uncomfortably close to Rose.

Raising her pistol up, she fired a shot, taking out the zombie in a headshot.

"The army's a day away of walking, even if you take the open streets, miss," said Ash, shaking her head. "You're not going to make it."

With a sigh, she decided to lie. Well, twist the truth. She was technically a zombie, but zombies didn't talk. Zombies don't ask for names. They were brain dead. All this she was not.

"And I'm not all of that. I'm not a zombie either. Take a bloody seat before someone tries to eat your face off!" shouted Ash.
