But at the refugee camp what’s left of the government will ask them to accept a dangerous mission–back into the very heart of Infection.

“He was a math teacher, he understands probabilities. Every day, just to live, he has to give it everything he has. If just once he is a little slow or takes a wrong turn or is in the wrong place at the wrong time, they will catch him. How many days can a man go on like that? Never be a little slow, never take a wrong turn, never be in the wrong place at the wrong time?”
