Part 10: “A Thousand Ways” - Part 12: “Because of Kistner”

Part 10, Chapter 78 Summary

Zombie learns that the base is on lockdown. He asks why, but no one knows. He then asks the orderly, Kistner, to help him to the bathroom. Kistner refuses and offers to get him a bed pan. While he’s gone, Zombie walks to the bathroom. Kistner comes to check on him. When he walks in, Zombie knocks him out and steals his clothes. Zombie makes his way into the corridor and slips into a room where a doctor is washing in preparation for a surgery. He pretends to be looking for supplies while searching for a scalpel. He finally finds one and uses it to cut out the new implant placed in his neck.

Part 10, Chapter 79 Summary

Zombie takes an elevator down to the main lobby and goes over his plan, chastising himself for not killing Kistner. When the elevator opens, he peeks out the glass doors and sees the light of a bomb about to detonate.
