Falcon One continued north along the western edge of the commercial district.
The infected followed through the streets below. Those closest to the outer shopping centers reached the western avenue first. They ran between abandoned buses and climbed over the vehicles blocking the smaller lanes, while more continued leaving the parking structures and buildings behind them.
Falcon One did not fly toward South One. It remained west of the prepared line and continued north, keeping the mass away from the ground formation until enough infected had entered the wider road selected by the Engineers. Striker One followed several hundred meters behind it.
"Striker One to Fairy. Twenty-two thousand contacts have entered the outer avenue. Another seven thousand are approaching the entrance. Additional movement remains inside the district."
