Chapter 357: Different Thoughts

"You don't have any broken ribs, your strong muscles were able to withstand the hard impacts you received. Considering all the variants of the virus, if you were infected you would have already shown symptoms."

Bob after checking Abraham started to check Airon's body, everyone without exception was horrified to see those bloody bruises over his ribs, muscles, shoulders and face. To tell the truth, it was still surprising that Airon could move.

"For now take these pain pills, you'll take some more to keep your body from swelling and you'll get some injections to prevent any infection."

After saying that, Bob carefully put in a much more professional dressing than Tina had done. All his wounds were checked, Airon passed them initial examinations and then realized that besides the bruises, he had not received any other injuries.

Some time later, Airon did not let them see the video for now where he was facing that giant infected, as they now had to concentrate on a much more recent problem.

Meanwhile, Airon was still receiving treatment. There was the occasional open wound, but this was due to many of the wounds he had sustained in the battle against the infected.

Instead, after learning that Airon was not in danger, everyone else was discussing that group that attacked them just now.

"What the hell does that mean the man told you before he died? Just a T, did he really say nothing else?"

Airon, who was lying on the couch, said angrily, "His lungs were full of blood, how was he supposed to be able to talk to me?"

"This is such bullshit, if I know a T it's in T-dog? Hell dude, I like you but also your name Theodore..." Negan looked at T-dog with a chuckle.

"That's a lot of coincidence..." T-dog agreed.

"Fireflies..." Airon thought to himself.

Daryl scratched his head, retreated to the side not having the slightest idea who these people were and continued cleaning his prized crossbow, while Glenn was surrounded by a group of people, thinking that this man would know something was going on.

"Uh... I don't know, how can I guess anything with just one word?"

Airon didn't want to slow the group down, after a few simple turns they had gotten everything they had come for. By the words of the people they saved they would soon be able to fully regain electricity.

So from that, Airon had nothing else to do but be alert. From all those clues that had formed in his head, he could detect that there might be a large force in South Carolina, but those would be very curious as that place was slightly investigated by his people.

But under Rick's words, he assures that that group must come from a strong community.

In other words, most of those who attacked are people who don't know the situation in Georgia and Atlanta, could they be the Saviors? There wasn't much time since the group left Washington, are these people that quick to pick up the trail?

At that moment, Michonne, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "Could it be those people in Washington? Those people loot people's resources just like the Saviors."

They both thought of this at the same time, but Airon thought of the Fireflies, does that organization really still exist? Daryl instead interrupted everyone:

"Those bastards dare to persecute us? Back then, most of us were survivors with no military experience, now I want to see those idiots come to our door. We have a hundred and one ways to kill them all."

Michonne's attitude is obviously not so optimistic, and she still denies Daryl's words with concern.

"We're definitely not afraid of them normally, but what if these guys sneak up on us when we're outside? If it were me, I definitely wouldn't take the initiative to provoke, but stay on the route that some groups normally pass through and plan a surprise hit. Tell me, what would you do if you were in that situation?"

Everyone looked at Airon, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Taking Birmingham is proving to be a success, Georgia was controlled by our soldiers so they will look no further than that place, the borders are set and the points we move through as well. Now our objective is to take all of Alabama, we cannot deviate from that. Therefore, I will suspend sorties that are not part of our territory."

"That's a good idea, the construction that's going on right now requires a lot of manpower. Thousands of people are now working to increase our internal strength. In the meantime, an elite team can also be sent to investigate that area."

The rest of the people looked at each other and said nothing, they all knew that this method was the most feasible at this time, and then sat together and discussed.

And Airon who was lying quietly, was thinking whether to take those people seriously, they are after all survivors who have some or the other weapon.

It seems a waste of time to pay attention to this place, but forgetting it is also not enough, so he thought what to do with Carolina de sur, and after careful consideration, he decided to follow the original plan and slowly investigate this group.

Charon and the others who had been sitting in the corner were confused for a while. They had only a half-knowledge of the current situation. They only knew that these people belonged to a certain force, but no one told them anything that could now help.

However, with the various key words that these people unwittingly revealed during their conversation, they gradually gained some general impressions about their base.

Walls, reforms, defenses, soldiers, elite equipment, Birmingham, helicopters, etc. These words kept stimulating the thoughts of various people. Their eyes opened and they secretly communicated with each other.

The tacit understanding they have formed together every day for over a year allows them to exchange some information just by looking at each other.

"Is it true what these people say, or are they lying to us?"

"It should be true..."

"How are you sure?"

"Please, what do they have to lie for?"

"It's true."

"..."

No one cared about the small movements of these people, all their attention was drawn to George's voice.

"Chief, there's a horde of walkers up ahead!"

Interrupting Glenn who was talking, Airon sat up. He looked in the distance, there was indeed a horde of walkers moving towards them.

"Pull over, turn off the engine, we'll wait for them to pass."

Soon, the RV pulled over to the side of the road, everyone instantly lowered the window guards, the engine stopped roaring and they all sat down without a sound.

Charon and the others were even more cautious, and even slowed their breathing a lot, fearing that too much air inhaled into their lungs would irritate their windpipes and make them cough.

After this horde of walkers had passed, the sky was already darkening. Fortunately, the distance from the central base was not far, so in a short time they made contact with an outpost that let them pass without any problems.

The group finally reached the base shortly after dark.

...

The next morning.

You could say yesterday was an exciting day.

Airon jumped off a building, killed a giant infected, they found survivors and were finally attacked by others.

Airon and Abraham were injured. Their injuries were checked after they returned. Airon had many stitches in his back and wounds in his ribs so he slept on his stomach.

Although he could sleep on his back, it was not very comfortable, which also caused him to wake up early in the morning.

Carefully putting on his shirt, he reached the front yard, looked at the clean square outside and arrived alone at the second wall of his future city.

The height of more than ten meters allowed him to have a panoramic view of the outside of the base. At this point, the third wall has been surrounded by containers. It can be said that now the third area has become a place of cultivation. So in addition to the four buildings that would be made on the second and first walls, several areas had to be cleared.

Airon was a bit excited. After more than a year, he had finally gathered most of the people who would support him in the future in one place and safely, he also used his time to take Georgia, Atlanta and in the future Alabama.

Due to his injury, everyone was strictly forbidden to leave the base, so he can only engage in basic base construction.

Looking at this open space, he began to plan the use of each place in his mind, and he could not help but fall into deep reflection, but he did not realize that there was a pair of eyes watching him from afar.

The moment this gaze came closer, Airon noticed it and felt the gaze linger on him for a few seconds before moving away.

Taking a handkerchief, Airon left it over a hole in the wall, after a while he walked around the wall slowly.

Just after Airon left, a guard approached where he was and took out the handkerchief that had a note engraved with a simple prayer.

That guard continued working and after opening the note he saw the contents inside: "Remove the dangerous ones quietly, start the cleaning operation!"
