Story 544: Lurking in the Moonlight

The docks were eerily silent except for the faint creak of rusted ships swaying in the water. The fog clung to the ground like a living entity, masking the shadows that seemed to move just out of sight. The faint glow of zombie eyes occasionally pierced the mist, sending chills down the spines of the ZETU team.

“We’re sitting ducks here,” Riley whispered from her perch atop a shipping container, her sniper rifle ready. “Too much open space, too many blind spots.”

“Agreed,” Marcus muttered, gripping his shotgun tightly. “Brain, can you get us any intel from the drones?”

Ethan’s voice crackled over the comms. “Still no visuals. Whatever’s in that fog is jamming the signal. I’m working on recalibrating, but you’re on your own for now.”

Marcus swore under his breath. “Alright, we move cautiously. Stay close and cover each other. Huntress, take point.”
