The Last Kids on Earth and the Zombie Parade

Bardle uses magic to unlock the cage, but Jack is still suspicious that he might be involved somehow with Rezzoch and Thrull. He asks Bardle why he didn’t say anything before. Bardle responds that he was only beginning to suspect that Thrull was a servant of Rezzoch, and only became certain now. They agree to work together, and Bardle suggests they get the other monsters from Joe’s Pizza to help. Jack refuses, not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger anyone else. He hops onto Rover and attempts to leave alone, but before they can depart, the ground shakes and the Wormungulous appears.

Bardle explains that it is called an Underground Cow. They watch as it digs around the garden and re-emerges with the tree house attached to its back. It has used the tentacles on its back to entangle the tree house, and it is hard to tell where the tree ends and the Wormungulous begins. It looks at them in a way that intimates it wants to help. Jack asks Dirk to load the Weed-B-Gone into the tree house using the pulley system, while he and June load every weapon they have.
