The streets of District Three had transformed from chaos into massacre.
The collapse happened with horrifying speed, the way these situations always spiraled once the critical point had finally been crossed. Two Alliance enforcer positions fell within minutes of each other, and after that the entire district began unraveling faster than anyone could respond.
The infected multiplied continuously.
Crowds that had been fleeing moments earlier suddenly turned against themselves as compromised civilians hidden among them lost control. Some collapsed screaming onto the pavement before rising again with stiff movements and empty eyes. Others attacked without warning, spreading panic through the already overcrowded streets faster than the infection itself.
The Alliance enforcers stationed throughout District Three had originally been deployed for riot suppression and refugee management.
Not for this.
