Chapter 60 Summary

Thomas and Teresa communicate telepathically about finding shelter. With the creatures mostly dead or still fighting with other teenagers, the lightning strikes are taking their toll on the group, monsters included. They make a plan to take shelter in one of the pods, and rush to it without being struck by lightning. Though the pod has a sickening odor, the two manage to get inside and, just as they are about to close the lid, Jorge and Brenda run up, taking shelter as well. Jorge and Brenda thank Thomas for letting them in, and while the four talk about what they are supposed to do now, a lightning bolt cracks the roof of the pod. Thomas says that they will not be able to last much longer in the pod without being hit by lightning, when suddenly they hear a loud sound outside. Wondering if they are missing something, the group manages to get the lid of the pod off again, and as they do, they see the same Berg that saved Thomas descend and land on the ground, just as their two-week time limit runs out.
