The 5th Wave Chapter 23 Summary

  • As Cassie approached the compound, she realized the soldiers were still there. But they didn't spot her.
  • When Vosch and some other soldiers pulled off their masks, Cassie realized that they have normal-looking faces.
  • She also realized that the masks were part of their act. They didn't need them.
  • Two soldiers were carrying a strange object. They put it down and everyone ghosts.
  • Alone now, Cassie watched the object glow and pulse. She realized something bad was about to happen and got away just in time.
  • The object blew up just as she jumped into a ravine. Good timing.
