The Kill Order Chapter 20

By James Dashner

Chapter 20

Back in the dream, Alec is telling everyone that they need to get to the Lincoln Building.
In the group now is Lana, Darnell, Misty, and a boy named Baxter—he's probably about thirteen years old, but super brave.
Alec tells them that a tsunami is likely about to strike; their city is right by the ocean, after all.
Up ahead they see a huge crowd of people crying and screaming and whatnot. Lana tells everyone that they need to just power through them and try to not look important.
When they make their way through, people immediately peg them as being important. Great.
Random citizens start blocking their paths, and they all start yelling about how the group might have food.
That's when pandemonium strikes: Alec punches a dude in the face, and then the whole crowd charges.
Wham, kaboom, kaplowy—punches are being thrown and people are yanking and tugging at Mark and Trina.
People are going bananas trying to kill each other, and that's when a rumbling sound can be heard.
Mark looks up to see a huge wall of filthy water pouring down the steps.
