[Actually they were both screwed, and they just didn't know it.
Fortunately, the fight back to the human village wasn't too terrible. There were a couple zombies, but John easily took care of them with his hammer. He was skilled with it, from years of practice, and all of the zombies fell quickly.
But as they reached the village, John noticed something. Normally there were guard posted along the high, patchwork walls around the village. They also kept spotlights up there, so they could shine them down on zombies to stun them if need be. But the spotlights were unmanned, and nobody was on the walls. Hell, there was no ambient lighting coming from the village at all.
The only light source was coming from a group of zombies, which were slowly moving towards the walls. For some reason, there was a light flickering red and blue within the group, which John thought was odd because he hadn't seen a light show like that before.
He also didn't notice that most of the zombies in that group were floating slightly off the ground.]
