[If an apocalypse were to happen, it was better in the city than the country. It was a scenario Lu Li used to playfully joke about with Cassie. Would you rather fight zombies in New York or the Midwest? Oh, it'd depend on the population! The thought of it was little more than a game, but for once she's thankful that they're in an urban environment where there's countless places to duck away into.
The Eiffel Tower used to be Paris's heart. It isn't difficult to find an abandoned cafe - the door long gone - which she yanks them both into.
No adrenaline courses through Lu Li's body because there's no chemicals to kickstart such a reaction. But the nervous signals of fear are strong. She presses against the wall, her eye wide and bright as the faint drumming of rain taps on the roof.
--it occurs to her just now that what they did was cowardly. The worst sin someone part of a group of survivors could occur. A low whir escapes her, unbidden, barely audible over the rain.]
