What Zombies Fear (Book 2): The Maxists (26 page)

“
There is only one way we can live, Max. You have to get bitten again. We need a fresh infusion of symbiotes. Getting bitten will make you sick for a few days, but you’ll get better, just like you did the first time. We will help out as best as we can, but we’re losing all of our abilities.
”

“
What will happen to me? I don’t want you to go!
”

“
If we die, you’ll stay smart and you’ll stay strong. But you won’t be able to talk to people that are far away anymore, you’ll be more like your Dad.
”

“
But I need to talk to Aunt Renee and I need to talk to Uncle John’s brother.
”

“
Then you have to get bitten. And, it can’t just be any zombie; it has to be one that hasn’t bitten anyone in a while.
”

“
Where do I go?
”

“
We think we can wait long enough for Steve to do it. He doesn’t have that many of E’Clei, but he should be able to produce enough by the end of the week.
”

“
What’s an e-clay?
”

“
That’s us, Max. We are called E’Clei.
”

“
What about if Jason bit Steve? Would that help?
”

“
Maybe. We’re not sure.
”

“
Jason. Bite Steve. Give him all your e clay.
”

3o miles away, Jason turned to Steve and bit him on the arm. He held his mouth to the wound for nearly a minute before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.

“
Steve are strong.
”

“
Come
to me, Steve. Do not cross the creek. Let me know when you are close.
” Max said to Steve.
