all the humans woke up laying on the ground of the base however the land around them seems to have changed. what once was an abandoned over run city filled with infected and coated with pockmarks from bombs dropped and debris from crumbed buildings is now a field in the open plains meanwhile as for the zombies most of them died for good in the transition of worlds and the remaining ones banged on the gates causing the response team to gun them down without hesitation... after the hoard was cleared the survivors all let out a held breath as they worked on restoring power to the base by fixing the solar pannels, turning on the fuel pumps, doing maintenance on the oil refineries, and turning on all generators

i look at my captain proud that he has managed to successfully use the training i gave him as well as his iron will to help thin out the swarm and give him a thumbs up but then i notice our location is different and frown "everyone i dont think we are in lamos city anymore..."
"kreig on me now" i say while heading to the administration meeting room to host a meeting to discuss our sudden relocation. kreig sits down in the comfy gaming chair he scavenged from the ruins of the Wall-Mart and my four brothers sit down in their seats. "brothers...and captain during that fight with the swarm that the raiders sent our way some unknown phenomena occurred and we are suddenly not in lamos anymore any ideas on what we should do?"
"..." atlas says with a confused frown
".search for civilization and aquire currency for trade?"avarice suggests while furrowing his brows
"find something to blow up?"raskol asks in an excited manor
"we could scout the surrounding area then if there is any fauna try to figure out if it is safe or dangerous to us and try to farm it" sage says in a neutral tone
"i agree with sage's idea but before we do any of that we need to make sure everyone here is healthy and repair this place to make sure that we have a safe zone again" kreig says while putting his hands on the conference table
you nod "all who are in favor of going with kreig and sage's idea say aye"
everyone surprisingly says aye which causes you minor surprise but you shake it off and clear your throat "alright then we have our plan everyone secure the base and report back here when done with your section"
everyone stands up and heads out of the doors to secure an assigned section of the complex and kreig leaves to asses the survivor count and their well-being
6 hours later the conference room is filled with the six men
"alright guys we need to figure out where we are so we have to send the scout team out so while we wait for the scouts take inventory so we know what we have left" at this everyone nods and files out to go assess the supplies

while viewing his section of inventory one final time you notice that a zombie survived the battle and is just staring at him from the other side of the gate but not attacking it. you hesitantly Walk right up to it. it surprising doesn't attack you nor try to bite at you it just stares at you.
you examine the zombie more closely and pulls out the zombipedia and write an article for the strange zombie;
name: "free hugs"
appearance: wears a black sweater combined with a mini skirt and is wearing a sign labeled "free hugs"
attack: 0 (doesnt seem to attack just stares)
speed: 0 (doesnt move just idly stands in place)
gender: F
you then draw a picture of the zombie and call the others "hey guys come over here i found a new zombie just dont attack it" after finishing up their tasks your brothers rush to the gate weapons raised
"atlas we heard there is a zombie get away from it" byron says while aiming his pistol right at free hugs's head
"dont hurt her shes passive weapons down see?" You make a small cut on your arm and raise the arm right up in front of free hugs's face and get no reaction from the zombie. after a while of tense waiting everyone hesitantly lowers their weapons and you step away from free hugs.
"see i told you guys this one is friendly" you say and smile as you bandage the cut you gave yourself and lead the zombie into the base. on the way to the others you deliver your copy of the inventory and what your branch has.
"can i study this zombie? this Will give excellent data im sure of it" sage asks politely.
"you may just make sure to feed her since she seems nice" you say with a smile knowing that free hugs is safe with sage however when you give the passive zombie to sage the zombie shambles back to you. "hey...its ok my brother is trustworthy you are safe with him he wont hurt you.." you say while smiling warmly at free hugs.
the zombie hesitantly shambles over to sage and follows him back to his wing of the complex as the scouts return to give their report..
