The helicopter passes over the middle of Piedmont. There are many bodies on the ground, some being chewed on by vultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I was afraid of that,” says Stone. “The birds’ll eat the infected flesh, and then fly off and spread the disease.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If it is a disease,” corrects Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Drop the gas canisters,” orders Stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Someone’s supposed to be alive down there!” says Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Somebody did something,” says Dempsey, as they fly over a dead family, sprawled in a chuch parking lot. “That’s for sure. Let’s give it a double dose.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The helicopter drops several cannisters on the town. Yellow clouds spring up from below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“That gas will only kill the birds,” says Stone, surveying the results of the cannister drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Okay, Dempsey,” says Stone, “hover over the main street and drop the ladder. Do not attempt to land. Is that clear?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Roger,” says Dempsey. “Clearer all the time.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“When we climb down,” says Stone, “lift off to a thousand feet and hover at a safe distance. And come back when we signal. If anything happens to us, — you have your orders.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Yes,” says Dempsey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
