The 5th Wave Chapter 16 Summary

  • One morning, at the refugee camp, Cassie heard the sound of a helicopter.
  • But the helicopter turned and left, abruptly. What was that about?
  • Everyone's waited for the helicopter to come back. Some people even started packing their stuff. Cassie's dad was skeptical.
  • He gave Cassie a new weapon, an M16.
  • He also gave her a piece of advice: the enemy is whoever shoots at you.
  • He told her to hide the M16 somewhere safe. He also told her to keep an eye on Sam.
  • Cassie decided to store the M16 in the body pit. Gross.
