18 Miles Out Walking Dead Novels & Stories

“It's going to be a long walk.” They all show their agreement with a nod. Maridelle would like to ask, but Nyx is right, they have to keep moving. They trod along the forest floor filled with twigs and leaves. Nyx is leading them. “We are here,” Nyx said, touching her legs. The walk is tiring and it is giving pain to her legs. Finally, after an hour and half of walking, they had reached their destination. The sun has totally risen. They had relaxed theirselves. Vampires couldn't attack them.

"I need to go hunt. I'll be back later." "I'll have Dari set up a room for you." I nodded as I headed out the door. I made my way out of the back of the house and into the forest on the far side of the park. I ghosted and was about thirty miles away in no time. I sniffed the air. I followed the scent and pounced on an elk in no time. I drained it but still felt empty.

"Those delivery trucks. There are eight of them. It looks like they're gearing up. Maybe sending another shipment to the vamps. The marina is about ten miles from here," "Come back. Both of you," "You sure?" "Yeah, let them do their thing. We'll keep an eye out tonight," "Let's head back," I tell Micca. He lets out a low whine but we retreat. We get back to my jacket and I jump back down to the cave with him following behind me. Jayk and Lucille are back when we get to the entrance. There are others with them. I toss my jacket on the ground and remove my holsters. Using the water splashing up on the shore I clean up my arms and my face.

I pulled the backpack straps tight, against my shoulders, picked up my iron rifle from the table and walked straight toward the small side exit. The red countdown clock kept pulsing in the corner of my eyes counting down the very last seconds of my safety. [Timer active. Global Map Expansion initiating in 47:58:30. Move quickly Host Eva. The wasteland is watching.]

uffed as she folded her arms and waited. Lyle stepped forward closer to Amaris now. He looked concerned. Amaris suddenly started talking again. "There looks to be somewhere in the neighborhood of eight thousand troops here." Everyone froze. "Eight THOUSAND?" Anna said with emphasis on the 'thousand'. ALexis just covered his mouth and looked at the sky. Andreas put his head in his hands. Lyle ducked his head and ran his fingers through his hair. "What do we do? We don't have an army that can fight eight thousand." This time it was Taji that was speaking out. Alexis looked at him and simply shook his head and gave a brief shrug of his shoulders as if he had no idea. Amaris continued on unaware

There’s nothing like a long walk to get your head on straight and process shit. This particular walk becomes a marathon. It’s a long way from the Bertinelli’s posh estate in uptown to anywhere I aught to be going: the church, ma’s apartment, the boarded up Middleton hotel… There’s no reason for me to have returned to this scene. The body crew will have already been by the joint this morning. They’ll have bundled up what’s left of Mike and Jim and done a full sweep of the area, but they’d be dead and in the ground themselves if any of those mooks stumbled across my mind-gaming, self-indulgent, but still deadly as fuck ancient vampire.

"If we can't have the end, we’ll make the middle last forever. I’ll keep you alive, Elowen. And I’ll make you want me so badly that Silas’s hell will feel like a mercy." ​He stood up and reached out a hand to help me. He didn't touch my palm; he offered his forearm, a safe, guarded contact. ​"Welcome to the Dead Zone," he said, the shadows at his feet coiling like loyal hounds. " One is over. Now, we learn how to live without breaking." ​In the distance, the bells of a modern cathedral began to ring, echoing through the ruins. Silas was coming. But for the first time in ten lives, the "Sword" and the "Shield" were standing together.

The pungent smell of their bodies was so strong that Aiden could smell it from so far out. “Walkers!” Aiden soon realised what they were once he spotted them. Walkers were the lowest form of Undead. They were easy to deal with for any strong Beastman and usually Aiden would not have bothered with them, but he was currently injured and could barely move a muscle. He wouldn’t be able to deal with them! This wasn’t the right time!

Things were going smoothly for them, but the situation behind them was much worse. Monica's group was running behind Hayley, technically in a safer zone with fewer zombies. However, their physical condition was terrible. Long-term hunger meant that after ten minutes of running, problems started popping up everywhere. Monica stayed at the very back, forcing herself to control the situation. She had the stronger residents support those who were falling behind. The whole group barely managed to keep up with Hayley's team. The time was 11:48 a.m. They had covered about 1.7 miles. There were roughly 0.8 miles left to the rendezvous point.

While walking, she said, “Everyone, clean up and we’ll continue our journey. Our destination is Sole.” “Yes, Milady!” The guards began to clear the scene. The Nacht family’s team soon began to hit the road again. As for the corpses that died in the dense forest, they became food for wild beasts and nourishment for the plants.
