Chapter 24. At the Stadium

Bodies were scattered across the synthetic grass field. They were arranged in tight rows, and ants were walking back and forth among the corpses. Thousands of human corpses with unnaturally bulging bellies. 

More piles of cadavers could be seen on the sides of the field, many with limbs torn off and decomposing. Those that were piled up became food for the ants. Elijah felt his stomach churn, so he squatted down and spit out his intestines.

It was horrible and disgusting.

Isaac came crawling over and looked worriedly at Elijah.

"Is it bad out there?" he asked.

Elijah nodded weakly. "Terrible."

Curious, Isaac stood up and peered through the crack, then hurried down when he saw it. The young man was silent, saying nothing, just staring blankly at Elijah, who was sitting limply after vomiting.

"What have they done with the bodies?" Isaac's eyes were filled with horror.

Elijah only gave a weak shake of his head.
