Chapter 1258 DON'T TOUCH THE PULP!
While I'd agree this last stretch was a little anticlimactic, there was something we forgot to take into account. If what we witnessed an hour or so ago was true, these babies' corpses were like fire from a moth's perspective or the marbles from Hungry, Hungry, Hippos.
And even though we weren't 100% sure that we got the facts straight, it only took a few moments of reprieve before Ilana and June shouted through our radio channel followed by Harold's angry voice.

[T-THEY'RE COMING! S-SAME NUMBER AS THE— NO! THERE'S MORE THAN THE ONES WHO JUMPED FROM THE EXPRESSWAY ABOVE! W-WE GOTTA RUN!]

*bzzt*
[HOW?! W-WATCH OUT! A HERD FROM SULU AND ISAGANI— FUCK! THERE'S RUNNERS FROM HUERTAS ROAD TOO! WHERE THE FUCK DID THEY COME FROM! WHAT DO WE DO?!]
*bzzt*

*bzzt*
[WE'RE BOLTING OUT OF HERE! IT'S TOO DANGEROUS! YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN MORE CAREFUL!]

It would've been perfect if we funneled both hordes at one spot—as the third one was being held by Artem's group—but since I already knew their target was either us or the remnants of the babies we stomped on, I took out the only item in my miscellaneous back and threw it over the street corner where they were coming from.
"KALEY—"
"I SAW! I SAW!"
Then I picked up my radio:
-
*bzzt*
"DON'T WORRY ABOUT US! TAKE CARE ON THAT SIDE! RETREAT IF YOU WILL!"
*bzzt*

And right as I finished the transmission, the barrel of napalm just exploded on top of the heads of the deadheads coming from the street corner—and since most of them had to slow down because of the curvature of the road—a good number of them clumped up at the spot where I threw the barrel and they instantly caught fire, spreading the intense heat and flames to anything it touched.

*bzzt*
[WHOA! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"FOCUS ON YOUR END! THEY'RE ATTRACTED TO OUR SPOT BUT BE CAREFUL OF IRREGULARITIES!"
*bzzt*

*bzzt*
[W-WE GOT IT, NO WORRIES!]

At this point, it would've been badass to cleave down burning walking corpses but I'm not a fucking dumbass so I sheathed my blade and holstered my .22 LR pistol before proceeding to pull up my rifle. Then again, we were now trying to hold our position while hundreds of dregs were trying to eat us alive, but this was the most optimal position for Kaley as she took down dregs one after the other.
