Ethan pushes north with his undead legion despite a mutant blockade.
When the outbreak erupts, Ethan's family cuts ties and leaves him behind. Desperate, he injects an illegal evolution serum that bends every shambling corpse to his will, swelling a personal horde that obeys his every order. While humanity streams toward Denver, he marches the opposite direction, only to stall for three weeks at a bridge guarded by a single mutant beast. Each day his controlled dead grow stronger, blurring the line between master and monster.
