existence. They came right at us and as we impaled them, they continued relentlessly, their opaque eyes filled with hatred. They want us all dead, and I can’t understand why. I may never.
I thought maybe, that I could be “professional” about being a soldier, that I could just stand proud and do my job. I think this is beyond that though. I think that if we can’t find a way to fight back, there will be nothing to fight for.
Mother, I miss the food most of all. No one here is going hungry, and there really is food everywhere, since, there is no one left to eat it all. But I do miss your food.
Everyone is celebrating tonight, and that’s to be expected. Word is we get one day to rest tomorrow and then we start going out on active patrols attempting to find more of our enemy.
I miss you mother. I am sorry I was not there.
I am sorry and it was hard, but I made sure you were not one of them.
If there is a heaven, and you are there, please forgive me.
Your son, Gregg
After Action Report
3 rd Hunter Group
7 miles south of Clinton, NC
2 Days
6,457 Limps
On DATE!!!!!! We received radio messages relayed to Tower 87 from a new tower south of Clinton. It had been established by survivors with the help from Fayetteville and Tower 87. 33 survivors. 3 days ago the survivors had been surrounded and as per protocol had closed themselves in the tower out of sight. When they emerged today, the Limp horde had mostly dispersed but too many had stayed behind and had caused a bad situation for the survivors. Radio messages asked for help and the 3 rd was tasked with scouting and assessing the possibility of eliminating that particular horde and if that was possible, then tasked with eliminating the entire Limp population in that area. Clinton had a pre Deadfall population of around 8 thousand people, with maybe 2-3 thousand more in the surrounding rural areas.
3 rd group has been in active daily patrol duty since our first battle two weeks ago. Most of our encounters have been less than 100 Limps at a time, easily dispatched. The potential of encountering multiple thousand Limps required careful planning. 1 st and 3 rd Hunter groups were tasked for this operation.
Clinton tower is located just south of city limits. Exiting the city south are two major state highways, 701 and 421. That corridor would be used to draw the enemy out into and into ground we would determine once the horde started moving. Scouts from both groups along with a new group dedicated for the sole purpose of drawing out Limps, dubbed the Noisemakers, would be tasked with getting into Clinton and drawing the Limps out down towards our location south of the city. Noisemakers used an assorted type of vehicles, most with any kind of noise reduction removed from them. Noisemakers and scouts would come into the city from the northwest and north east, from the east and south east, head through the city, drawing as many Limps as they could going through a westerly direction until reaching highway 701 on the western part of the city and attempting to draw them down south to our location.
In the few weeks of live action we have noticed a phenomenon among the Limps we have dubbed the horde march. Once again, without fully understanding any level of communication the Limps might have between themselves, we have been able to establish that when a large quantity of the creatures are set into motion in one direction, there appears to be a buildup of momentum wherein the ever growing horde continues to feed off new Limps that see the moving horde. This horde march then usually follows the easiest path, the path of less resistance, in the general direction it is heading, in most cases, roads and highways. This phenomenon would explain the many stories we have of gigantic hordes roaming the larger highways in the country. How these marches are begun is impossible to know for now. What we do know is that once started, they are only stopped when there is something physically
