After: Red Scare (AFTER Post-apocalyptic Series, Book 5) - Plot & Excerpts
321 and N.C. 105 at the same time? And a sign back there said “Blackberry Road.” How did people with cars ever figure out where the heck they were going?But he felt pretty good about knowing his location. The smoke helped, because DeVontay and Lt. Hilyard had pointed out the little towns below from up on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The fires from last night had definitely been Newton, because he’d seen them through the binoculars, and Newton was pretty much the biggest town in this part of North Carolina. According to the map, U.S. 321 cut a line right through it and kept on grooving south all the way to Charlotte.Let’s just not think about N.C. 105 and Elk Park and Cross Creek and Haasdale. And wherever Blackberry Road goes.Rachel and DeVontay had taught him well, so he had little trouble traveling alone, especially with no Zapheads in sight. He preferred sticking to the open road to make better time, plus he liked the idea of being able to outrun anything that threatened him. A wild dog a couple of miles back growled at him, but Stephen stood his ground and shook his walking stick until it slunk back into the forest.The route offered plenty of houses for food and shelter, and he was pretty good at smelling out which ones held dead bodies.
