## Synopsis

Wild Bill is having his leg removed. Unfortunately, the drugs do not work and he is conscious for the entire procedure. The Zoo crew sets things in motion for their clearing of the crypts. They separate into three groups. Roger & Travis, Scarab & Hanez, and August & Matteau. Bill wakes up and demands to speak with Drake. Doctor Olaf goes to get him crutches. He is gone for a long while so Bill attempts to hop his way over with… limited success. Mr. Q enters and offers him a prosthetic. Now that he is metaphorically on two feet, he goes to speak with the Relics. He enters the room and is completely ignored by the others. He sits with them and Drake asks why he is so late and empty handed. Bill’s silver tongue convinces them that he actually got everything they needed done and is ready to get back out there and deal with a new problem, August. However, Drake needs him to help retrieve something with them for that to happen.

August pulls Scarab aside before they stop and asks her plainly if he did the right thing by stepping down as leader. She reassures him that no matter who leads, someone will be against it. That’s just human nature. The Relics head out on the icy roads and actually do fine getting to their destination, an abandoned impound lot. The Zoo crew start to split off and Lexi asks Roger to help. He tells her if she wants to be a part of this group she needs to step up and puts her once again with the Archers in the infirmary. They begin their task. The Relics arrive and find a massive hole in the lot with a path leading underground. Surrounding it is a group of frozen solid Zeds. They go below and clear out any stragglers on the way. They get to the goods, three massive artillery cannons.

They drag one slowly outside and discover the frozen Zeds are now in motion and heading their way. Bill plans to handle them alone while the others load the weapon onto a nearby truck and is quickly outmatched. These “Frostz” have a unique ability to explode and stun things nearby so the others come to help and one bites Bill but fortunately it is in his new prosthetic. Little Clarence is not as lucky and is bitten twice. Bill doesn’t even hesitate to kill him and stumble to the truck. They clear out the rest and decide to return for the other machines at another time, heading back. The Zoo crew are slowly removing the Beastz from below and it is more challenging than they think.

There are three instances where the trucks are compromised and Matteau is unfortunately bitten. He is rushed to the infirmary as the others finish what they can. Archer informs Roger that they are going to have to remove his arm completely to save him. He double checks with August who awaits his ruling and Roger tells her to save him. He and August lead a small group underground to clear out the remaining and make sure it’s completely clear. They succeed and are pleasantly surprised to find one living animal below, Roger’s penguin, Mr. Hopper. August sets up the new traps as the sun sets, ready for the incoming attackers.
