The story / 01
The last refuge is surrounded.
Offshore survivors believe the North Sea is their last defence. Then sonar finds movement below: infected walking the seabed toward the rig. As a living wave climbs the steel supports, an engineer races to release the bridge before the final helicopter lifts off.
