A brief silence followed. They listened to the distant sounds of battle—the screeching of locusts, the explosions of bombs, and the rapid gunfire from the turrets and rifles.

The second clone finally spoke. "Not yet. Let's see how far they can go first. I'm sure they planned something up before raiding this stronghold of insect Zombies."

And so, the three clones of Travis remained in their hidden spot, waiting for the result of their siege.
