They left the factory early in the morning with whatever weapons they could find. Chen still had his rifle, but there wasn't much else inside the abandoned place that could actually be useful. Most of the tools were either rusted or too heavy to carry for several days, and Skyy's power wasn't something they could depend on yet. They still didn't even know exactly what his power was or how he was supposed to use it.
In the end, Chen found a solid metal pipe and handed it to him.
Skyy held it with both hands and looked down at it doubtfully.
"If anything comes at you, hit it," Chen said as he checked the ammunition in his rifle. "Don't stand there waiting for me."
Skyy nodded.
Chen glanced at him and frowned. "I'm serious. Zombie, animal, human, whatever. If someone comes at you and you think they're going to hurt you, hit them first."
"Even a human?"
