Airon in the living room read the messages that summarized the talk that the Janner couple was having in the kitchen, after reading the messages, the Jenners quickly left the kitchen. Candece smiled in apologetic mode toward Airon .
"Airon, I'm not feeling very well, I'll retire first, Edwin would like to talk about some things with you."
"That's okay, Mrs. Jenner."
"You can call me Candace."
"Got it, Candace."
Airon stood silently to the side, waiting for Edwin to share what was on his mind, when he learned that he wanted to hire him as Airon CDC staff, he silently celebrated this great news.
In the original story, he knew that at least the Atlanta Airon CDC had no staff, besides the Janner scientists, there was no one else working there in search of a cure. Therefore, it would be a good place to begin future plans.
As far as he understood, Airon knew that Edwin's wife, Candece, was an excellent researcher, if all goes as he intended, he fully believed that they could find a cure sooner or later.
Edwin Janner sat across from Airon and thought carefully about what to say.
"Airon, can you explain to me in detail the group of companions you recommend? You must know that this is very serious, because what I want to tell you next is very important and is likely to be related to the survival of all human beings..."
After saying this, Edwin Janner thought Airon called him crazy. To tell the truth, there are very few people in the world who would believe him if he said that a virus is spreading at great speed in the world and this would cause an immense amount of deaths.
"Mr. Janner, to be honest with you what you told me made me nervous, but I'm willing to listen to whatever you have to tell me."
Airon knew that whether he could succeed today would depend a lot on his next words, so he also tried to act normal and give an impression of honesty.
"As for the team who could work together with me and whom I have confidence in are six people besides me. One is excellent in computers, there is someone who is a specialist in electrical repair, another one has knowledge about medicine, another one is a mechanic and knows about electricity, lastly there is someone who knows about explosives and another is excellent in driving."
Airon in all this time had not wasted time, with much difficulty and analysis he recruited five people. The important thing is that they were all former soldiers willing to work, and now they were waiting for the next moves that Airon was going to order.
With ingenuity and a lot of planning, Airon with the help of Tyler posed as a secret group that needed experienced soldiers to carry out a top secret mission. Most importantly, five of the ten selected accepted the job.
Many of them had no family and for those that did, some lived overseas. Therefore, Airon told them the information he knew and they began to take precautions. With fake IDs, they managed to convince the ex-soldiers and now you could say he had an experienced group of subordinates.
Edwin Janner's eyes became more lively and he felt happy that they at least listened to his words.
"Airon, I didn't expect you to have such a good group of people, they could all be of help if we work together."
Saying that, Edwin Janner went to the door of his wife's room and knocked softly, after a while Candece came out of the room with expectant eyes, walked to the living room and sat down.
"Airon, let me tell you what is currently happening in the world. We are scientists who work at the Airon CDC…"
...
In the following week, Airon and six others joined the Airon CDC officially with the help of Candece and Edwin. Now all the Airon CDC members are in panic, because everyone may know some undisclosed news in advance, for which there are already many people who started to make plans in advance and planned to leave with their whole family in search of a shelter
Of course, some people still decided to stay, including the Janners, Airon and his group along with a few other people.
Originally, Airon was with his team and was a security guard, when he had the opportunity he wondered that since "Project Wildfire" is in progress, researchers from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention are not supposed to leave.
When he told Candece about this question, Candece's answer was very simple, one sentence.
"We are human too!"
...
On July 5, 2010, Airon and the staff of the Center and Disease Prevention noticed that since yesterday, the news had begun to report "violent incidents" in various parts of the country.
Airon knew full well that the end of the world was near and all he could do was wait.
"It was a good choice to trust your words, it looks like the situation out there is starting to get out of control, I hope they find a cure soon."
Sam Valdez, a former soldier who was hired by Airon expressed his thoughts.
"Let's not be so calm, things can go wrong even in this place, we must pay attention as Airon said." Tyler who was manning the security cameras pointed out.
"We all know that, we all owe a lot to Airon for carefully explaining to us everything that is happening." George Burcea said.
"We need to focus on protecting this place, it will be paramount that they do not breach the security of this very important site." Jon Seda held up his gun and spoke coldly.
Billy Fisher, who was more relaxed than everyone said, "Well, now more than ever it is comforting to not have family to worry about, by the way Gonzalez, how is your family overseas?"
"They will be fine, Airon helped me with the resources to move them to a farm away from society, I am grateful and anxious to get the job done right." Saying that, Nicholas Gonzalez left to patrol the building.
All of them were the small team Airon could muster, they were more than enough to get around.
...
On a certain street in Atlanta, a van passes by on the street. He arrived at a religious community shortly thereafter. The somewhat stocky black-skinned man got out of the van. He got out and pulled out a large amount of basic necessities, including food, water, and then divided everything equally, and then moved it from housing to housing.
"T-Dog, you're here again, I'm really bothering you."
"T-Dog, can you help me fix my TV?"
"T-dog. God bless you, you're a good boy, be careful on your way back."
The black-skinned man who was known as T-dog, was Theodore Douglas. Today is not a community service day, but the streets are not peaceful these days. There are more and more "violent incidents" recorded on the streets, so he was concerned about lonely old people.
Even if he has limited time capacity, he still works with his colleagues. In his spare time, he drives around in his van and passes through various communities, hoping to help these poor elderly.
"Okay, Mrs. Maria, I'll be there in a minute."
After working in the community for an hour, T-dog finally finished his work and drove his car again to prepare supplies for the next community.
At the same time, on the other side of town, Andrea and Amy were driving to a lake to fish.
Suddenly, something slammed into the side of the back of their car, and there was a "bang." Andrea's heart squeezed, she slammed on the brakes and looked back unconsciously, only to see that the back of the car was empty! A short distance away were two people struggling to run forward.
"Yes!" Amy was listening to the song with her headphones on, when she was jolted by the sudden brake, she couldn't help but scream and turned her head to look at her sister angrily.
"You scared me."
Andrea looked left and right for a moment, then turned to Amy and said.
"Did you hear that just now?"
"What?"
Amy didn't hear clearly, so she took off her headphones and listened to Andrea continue talking.
"It sounded like something hit the back of the car just now."
Amy was surprised when she heard the words, she stroked her hair unconsciously and looked around in panic, because the "violent incident" seemed to be very frequent on the streets, and it was so quiet at this moment, Amy's hand holding the seat belt couldn't help but tighten.
"It seems that the streets are not safe recently, let's go fast. Good thing our father gave us a gun for protection, let's get going."
...
"Wow!"
Glenn was riding his scooter, wearing a baseball cap and his work uniform, down the alley.
Pizza delivery has given him an intimate knowledge of the streets and alleys of the city of Atlanta. Basically, each delivery is much faster than others.
This is also the main reason why the stingy boss never dared to deduct his salary. Glenn quickly arrived at the delivery place.
He deftly parked the scooter, picked up the food and went up the stairs.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Sir, the pizza is here."
"..."
"Knock knock knock!"
"Sir? Anybody home?"
After waiting outside the door for about 2 minutes, Glenn exhaled helplessly, with a helpless expression on his face, it seemed that the boss's scolding was inevitable.
Green shook his head and was about to go downstairs when he suddenly heard a "Dang" sound behind the door. He was so happy that he went back to the door and knocked on the door.
"Ah woo~ ah uh, pum..."
Glenn didn't wait for the door to open, but heard a strange low growl behind the door, followed by a rhythmic knock on the door.
Glenn stuck his ear to the door and knocked again.
"Ahwo!!!"
The sound of fingernails scratching at the door reached Glenn's ears.
"Sir, I know you're inside, if you insist on not opening the door, I'll call the police!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As if Glenn's voice had irritated the person inside the door, suddenly a more violent rumbling was heard, accompanied by an inhuman roar.
Glenn was a little nervous and felt that something was wrong at this moment, and he also wanted to retreat, but he said loudly as if to embolden himself, "Okay, I'm leaving now!"
"Ahhh! Tras!"
Glenn finally panicked, turned and ran downstairs.
"Beep-beep, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, try again later."
"Damn it!" Glenn helplessly put his phone away and drove his scooter into the store.
...
King County, Rick's house.
"Mom, is Dad going to be okay?"
"Carl, your dad is a very strong man and he's going to be fine!"
In Carl's room, Lori was lying in bed with her son in her arms. Rick's sudden shot came as a shock to the family of three, but it made Lori suddenly realize the importance of her husband.
"Mom, can I sleep with you today?"
"Honey, Mommy's not going anywhere today, you can sleep."
His father's sudden serious injury made young Carl feel very sad. At that moment, after worrying all night, his eyelids feel heavy and he soon fell asleep in Lori's arms.
At this moment, Lori, who was hugging Carl, felt very sad and finally revealed how worried she was about her husband.
