Why are there so many here? Do they know..? Donnie's starting to have second thoughts about trying to get into the mines as he wonders if they've just gotten into them already. It's a worrying possibility, but where else do they have to go?

He tries to keep close enough behind Leo without being in the way, using his staff to fend off whatever tries closing the gap between them or coming in from the side. This is absolutely the worst!

Feeling something yank at his hood, Donnie turns to swing his staff about, knocking another zombie back with a sickening crunch. He yelps as his feet trip over the fallen bodies Leo's already cut down, sprawling onto his back. Another zombie all but falls after him, and he brings up his arm to catch its hungry maw, and he's all the more thankful that Tony had the foresight to equip him with his armor's bracers.
