After Mark's flashback, he wakes up to see Alec. They are surrounded by trees. They decide to search the Berg after discussing the virus they discovered. Mark finds what is called a "workpad," which is described to be some sort of iPad, and they are very excited about this find. On the workpad, they see a map, which shows some sort of bunker or possibly a military base. Mark wants to check it out, but Alec decides they should head back to camp to check on the others.
About a mile from their camp, they suddenly smell an awful stench of death that causes them to wrap cloths around their faces to cover their mouths. There are piles of dead bodies, and when Mark finds Trina, Alec decides they need to keep separated to prevent the spread of the virus. After walking, they stop at a shack from which they hear someone who is screaming at the top of their lungs.
Alec and Mark find out that it is Darnell who is inside the shack. The virus had turned him crazy, and he would not stop screaming about his head. Mark tries to talk sense into Darnell, but nothing works. His screams only become louder, and eventually Mark hears from inside the shack three thunk sounds, and one last scream. Darnell slumped to the floor, dead.
Trina explains that the remaining townspeople have hidden themselves in their houses for a few days just to be safe and to see if anyone else has the virus. The group found Misty and Toad, and they began packing their bags. After a while, Misty groans and says that her head hurts.
Misty knows that she is going to have the same fate as Darnell, and she tries to convince her friends to go without her. Misty describes her symptoms as bugs crawling through her head. The Toad refuses to leave his best friend, so he stays with her.
