The campus emergency alert system was reaching fewer and fewer places now—clearly, a lot of the loudspeakers had been wrecked by the zombies.
Most of the students from the dorms had either made it to the main dining hall or died trying. A few were still holed up in their rooms, too scared to leave. Those ones probably had some food stashed away.
Then there were the ones like Sean and his group—forced to hide wherever they could find shelter.
Even so, a surprising number of students had managed to reach the main dining hall.
The doors were locked tight, every window boarded up with cardboard and furniture. From the outside, it looked abandoned.
Inside, though, it was packed wall to wall. Hundreds of terrified students were crying, shouting, calling out for friends who hadn't made it.
Campus police and staff moved through the crowd, trying to keep order, but most of the students were too close to the edge to listen.
