Novel Series

While living in the Whiltshire Estates, Philip Blake sets up a nail gun discovered in one of the houses with six twenty-eight foot long extension cords to build a barricade to protect the house that his group is squatting in. Philip attaches a small piece of packing blanket secured with duct tape to baffle the noise. However, the group's attempts to convert it to DC power fail.

While fighting a walker that reaches through the barricade, Philip discovers that the nail gun is an effective weapon against the undead and he uses it to dispatch several more zombified residents of the community that try to break through the barricade. While trying to save Bobby Marsh from a zombified child, the nail gun's extension cord pulls free of its outlet just before Philip can use it against the walker. Brian reconnects the extension cord and, after Bobby dies and reanimates, Philip uses it to put his friend down.
