"Zz... Airon, can you hear me?.... Over."
The Janeer's were startled by the sudden sound and were relieved when they realized it came from Airon's radio.
Picking up the radio, Airon replied, "Copy that, this is Airon, there are a lot of things to sort out on my end and I can't leave at the moment, I suggest you find a space away from the city not too far away and stay there for a while. I will be looking for you as soon as possible.... Over."
"Zz... I understand buddy, I'm reassured that you're doing well."
Considering Shane took very good care of Rick's family in the beginning of the end of the world, Airon was calm and not at all uneasy that something had happened to them. Truth be told, he has too many problems in this place to worry about other people.
Most are confused and very few know that this is just the beginning, he had to secure a solid path to take on optimal goals later on.
There are so many people that need to be saved that he would rather not think about it, the people that are in his path will have a chance to be welcomed into his care and if they are a threat they will not have a good ending.
As Airon was thinking about the future, he heard his radio go off again and a woman's voice came out with a concerned tone, "Zz.... Hello, Airon, my name is Lori and I'm Rick's wife, how is my husband doing?"
Letting out a murky sigh, Airon replied, "He's doing well.... I have placed him in a safe place and he will be under observation, don't worry."
"Zz... Thank you Airon, I..." Lori's voice trembled a little, she obviously couldn't control the waves of emotions she felt hearing that the one she loves is okay, she paused for a moment and the intercom went off again.
"Zz... This is Shane, Airon, I'll find a safe place as soon as possible, we'll keep in touch! Over."
"Zz... Copy that, check the suitcase I gave you very well and pay attention to your safety, my team and I will pick them up once the situation is under control on my side."
"Zz... You too, brother! Over."
After putting the radio away, Airon didn't explain much to the Janner, only saying that these people were also his friends.
"It seems you're not even used to it when a person thanks you, you show a very peculiar expression when you're in that situation..." Candece said without looking at Airon.
"I didn't know close affection either, that's normal..." Edwin spoke for Airon.
"Haha..." Airon scoffed under his breath. To tell the truth, when he hears about love and affection he feels an emptiness in his chest, as if those kinds of feelings can't arise inside his body.
"There is no time for that, when will we die and how far will we go?" thought Airon without taking much importance to these feelings.
...
At that very moment, on the outskirts of the city of Atlanta, on the highway some distance away, a motorcade was slowly moving towards the city, Dale Horvath was sitting in the driver's cab with his eyes wide open, looking at the rear view mirror.
The huge fireball just now caused his eye sockets to darken, and cold sweat quickly leaked from his forehead. in all his years of life he never looked at a scene like the one that had just occurred.
"Oh my god, how could they do that?"
"Boom!"
Inattentive driving often has certain consequences, especially when following another car. Dale's RV crashed into a car across the street, it was a miracle that the speed wasn't too much.
The two girls who got out of the front car were Andrea and Amy.
However, Dale Horvath didn't notice this and looked out the window toward the city. Due to the commotion, the two sisters paid no attention to this and watched the large explosions go off in the center of the city.
The shocking scene caused countless people to get out of their cars and stare at the "city of Atlanta" in front of them. The fireball engulfed not only a city, but also the homes of countless people.
However, unbeknownst to anyone, the explosions were not only in Atlanta, but all over the country like New York, Nebraska, Chicago among many more cities.
Half an hour after the bomb-throwing stopped, cars on the main highway leading into Atlanta came to a complete stop, and some people began packing up their things planning to leave on foot, while others gathered to discuss where to go next.
Next to Dale Horvath's RV, there was also a group of people gathered at this time, including Dale, Andrea, Amy, an Asian kid, a burly black-skinned man, a black-skinned woman, two gangster-looking guys, and a family of four.
Originally, it was just Dale discussing things with the two sisters and other people nearby, but many people came in unaware.
Dale was still groaning. After the crowd gathered, it looked like he had found a way out. His eyes were as wide as bells, and the stubble at the corner of his mouth quivered as he spoke.
"This incident is absolutely extraordinary."
"Let me tell you, otherwise the military would never have dropped firebombs on the city."
"This is so immoral, where are our human rights, why did they destroy our city?"
"Stupid human rights, man! They don't care about your fucking human rights, what they care about is if you can bring them money, greenbacks! Do you understand?" The older of the two gangster-looking men was full of bad language, which caused the people around him to scowl.
"Can you show some respect, for God's sake?" Andrea stood next to Dale and said somewhat reproachfully.
Merle Dixon smiled mischievously, "Beauty, I hear you! You know why, because you're beautiful, I like beautiful women!"
An ugly grin appeared on Andrea's face, then turned into a disgusted expression immediately after turning her face. Amy was about to say something, but Andrea grabbed her and swallowed the words. Seeing her sister's expression of forgetting, even though Amy stopped talking, her face was actually full of anger.
Dale was also stunned enough, his eyes widened even more and he just looked at Merle Dixon with surprise.
Merle said nothing, just sneered strangely, but Daryl behind him suddenly said. "I don't care what nonsense you say, doesn't anyone here want to talk about those damn walking corpses out there on the streets? In my opinion, those people are already dead, why are they still walking around and wanting to eat people?"
After saying that, Darly pointed out, "Is there anyone here who wants to worry about that?"
Hearing this, the Asian boy in the crowd stammered about what he had seen and heard.
"Speaking of which, in the last two or two days, I came across these kinds of walking corpses. They seem incapable of dying. I saw soldiers shoot dozens of bullets at them, but they can still walk and eat people."
"Even some of the internal organs had come out of them, and they can still move freely."
"You said you saw these things the other day, did you, Glenn?"
The black-skinned, strong-looking man next to him also spoke up.
"Yes, to be precise, yes, I heard that roar, exactly the same! In a residential house long before all this started."
"It's a total mess in the city right now, I just hope the army comes to our rescue soon..." Said the man with the nickname of T-Dog.
"Don't dream, Theodore, haven't you seen that the army has suffered heavy losses? They are defenseless, otherwise why would they drop bombs on the city?"
The black-skinned woman next to T-dog also spoke, and he only heard her continue speaking.
"I work in the city's Department of Urban Planning. A method like this that completely destroys a city will only be used as a last resort."
"Jacquie, are you saying it's useless to go to another city?" Glenn was well aware of the meaning of Jacqui's words.
Jacqui was silent for a moment, then nodded, "That's basically it..."
"Okay, let's discuss what to do next. My name is Morales, and this is my wife, son and daughter. I think instead of worrying about this, we should first discuss how to deal with the current situation.What do you all think?" The man in the family of four next to him suddenly said.
"Haha, how to deal with it, I'll tell you how to deal with it! Those bastards in the government can go fuck themselves. We, my brother and I were born for this kind of world, we can hunt and survive in the wild, as long as everyone listens to us we will protect them, what do you think?"
Merle Dixon as he said this lit up a cigarette, as the smoke came out of his mouth he said some nonsense or other, and raised his eyebrows at Adrea with a lecherous grin which made Andrea feel shivers.
Just as they were about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard a deep male voice behind him!
"I don't think so, and I'm sure people don't think it's a good idea either."
This is a tall white man standing behind Andrea, he looked at everyone with a calm gaze.
Before anyone could ask, the person who arrived first spoke up. "Hi, my name is Shane Walsh. I'm a police officer from King County, a suburb of Atlanta. I just overheard your conversation and I apologize. But I have a lot more information and I have a place to go, I don't know if you're interested?"
After Airon mentioned to Shane about the suitcase, Shane found a lot of interesting things that he didn't initially pay attention to.

"He's a cop!"
"Looks like we haven't been abandoned hahaha!"
Whispers from several people drew several nearby civilians, trying to hear what Shane was about to say.
"I'm very sorry, I'm here as just another civilian and I have nothing to do with what will happen in the future, but I can say that I have a lot more information and in the future I don't rule out that someone may come to our aid."
As soon as everyone heard him, they felt his words illuminate their dark future and Shane didn't stop talking, but continued.
"I am a victim like all of you in this incident. My city was in chaos days ago. This time I am protecting my colleague's family. Our car is parked in the back and I couldn't help overhearing their conversation."
"Just now I understand the overall situation. You see, even though I'm not a government envoy, I'm still a policeman and I maintain contact with a member of the CDC."
"I can use firearms and as long as I can afford it, I will help you maintain your security while everything is going on."
"In our current situation, the worst thing to do is to act alone. Only by joining forces can we be able to form a group and act together, find temporary shelter and wait for my friend to contact me."
Shane's words were obviously accepted by most of the people present, hearing that he had a government contact, everyone decided to accept his words.
"Officer Shane, you are right, but I want to ask you, do you have a place that can serve us as a temporary shelter?" Morales is more concerned about practical things, after all he has to keep his family safe.
Seeing that no one objected, Shane felt there was a great opportunity, so he continued speaking to reassure everyone.
"I know a place, a nearby quarry, that has been abandoned many years ago and the infrastructure has been demolished, but it is inaccessible and few people go there."
After saying that, Sahne showed a map with the path marked, this was specially prepared by Airon Darcy.
Everyone looked at it and accepted, Adrea was the first to raise her hand and said, "Come on, we have to go! It's better than being stuck on this road."
Glenn also raised his hand, "I'll go too, I only have food for one day, I can't wait here to die!"
"Yes, but there is something to discuss ahead of time to find a safe place to settle" Dale also raised his hand, expressing his agreement.
More and more people raised their hands in agreement, and the rest did the same.
"Alright, now that we have it clear we need to go back and get ready, we will meet once we are ready." Shane said and looked at Dale, "Dale, get some of us into your RV to try to drive with the least number of cars."
Shane patted Andrea's car and continued to tell Dale as he showed him the map, "In a moment, go through this section of road, there is an intersection a few hundred yards ahead, drive into the reverse lane and then go west, I'll be there waiting for them."
Dale nodded.
About an hour later, Shane and the others found Dale's RV. Shane signaled for them to follow him and they all headed forward.
A group of people arrived at the quarry Shane mentioned, which is a good place surrounded by mountains and trees, and there is a mountain in the center.
They all reached the top of the middle and found a relatively flat spot.
"This place is not bad, the cop has some vision." Morales got out of the car and walked around briefly, chatting with Darly.
"We can wait in this spot while things progress..." Shane muttered with a somewhat nervous look on his face.
They all began to settle in and start handing out duties, they didn't know how long they would spend in this place, so the responsibilities had to be mutual.
In the documents that Airon left Shane, they detailed the situation of the virus and the hopes of finding a cure.
To tell the truth, the future looked very bad, but he had hope that all this would be solved.
...
CDC Center
"And the entire society was consumed in a matter of seconds..." Geroge Burcea looked at the buildings in the distance with unfamiliar thoughts.
With a mustache and long hair, wheat-colored skin and black eyes he joined Airon Darcy when he heard he could be back on duty.
Truth be told, he always missed going back to some institution that could make him hold a gun again, the money was too much and the requirements were too credible for him to accept.
When he heard what he had to do and after joining the CDC with the others, he thought he was very fortunate to be in this place. Now he had companions and people to talk to, he had the opportunity to keep fighting and that comforted him.
Nicolas Gonzalez frowned, this that was happening was unimaginable. He could not react to the government deciding to destroy the city with missiles, if this is happening in Atlanta, it would be the same in other parts of the world.
"What is in store for us?" Nicolas Gonzalez asked with a deep sigh.
Hearing Nicolas' words, Tylor felt that the situation was truly dire. Given that the government had gone to these extremes, the military had completely lost, right? In a very short time society was consumed by the virus and all indications were that there was no turning back.
"All we have left is to survive..."
"We have to be strong and grateful, not everyone has the same conditions as us in this place."
While everyone felt scared, many other people just silently watched the situation. The walkers are increasing in number and it was a matter of time before everything would get worse.
Scientists were still struggling to find a cure while soldiers continued to contain the virus, the older people lost hope in the world and rested in silence.
On the top floor of the CDC facility, Airon started with cold eyes at the place outside the window, his thoughts submerged in many possibilities.
As the sound of gunshots rang out from time to time, his eyes and thoughts delved into what he had to do in the future.
