That’s what you get for using a ragtag group. No discipline. Pheh, civilians.

Nicely told and a classic sort of scene of eagerness and folly. I like that you keep in general then sneak us back to the protagonist from the intervening ficly.

Weak-willed, tsk tsk.
too many commas and fragments here: “It seemed the loud sound of the
gunshots were drawing them, as a shambling horde emerged, coming down the road towards them. Hundreds of the abominations, groaning.”
Otherwise, a very awesome sequel!

Lol Thx…getting in the groove there! Once again the story has gone even darker. And I find myself liking the police chief even more – he seems to be a good leader. I agree with Elsha, you certainly don’t need the first comma in that phrase. A cliffhanger! I shall read on.
