Waylen and Simpson sauntered towards the location where the bush was. Upon looking at the back of the bush, both of them gasp at the horrendous sight that they were seeing. They saw a man ironclad with armor in pieces gasping for air as his insides were dangling out of his body. Both of them looked at each other and nodded and immediately went towards the man to check if they can still save him. They kneeled down beside the man and made several gestures to check if they can still save him. The evaluation of the situation made them look down as the reality dawns upon them. It was just that the man was too wounded and mutilated to be able to be saved. It was just too impossible for their current capabilities. Even a first aid kit wouldn't do much except to lessen the pain of the man.
It also seemed like that the man has already lost his sights and was now turning into a different color. Sensing the impending doom of the man, he reached out towards one of his pockets on his clothes outside of his ironclad armor. He then made his way, using hands towards the nearest person who he could sense. He grabbed the arm of Waylen and reached out his other hand from the pocket and gave Waylen a letter possibly containing a message. At the front lies a seal, then the man uttered words they can't understand. Even if they couldn't understand what the man was saying, they grabbed the man's hands and made an agreeing movement with the hands of the man.
Soon after, the man closed his eyes and finally stopped breathing. Unfortunately, that didn't end there as Waylen and Simpson studied the man, as the veins of the man were transforming color and there were movements from the eyelids. The man should have been dead and yet its body is still moving uncontrollably. There's only one thing they could deduce from this and that is the man is turning into a walker! They have to see this through, because it might be helpful when they start researching about the walkers.
The body of the man was still moving uncontrollably and is rapidly changing color from the color hue of violet, into green, and finally into gray. Sensing something different, Waylen and Simpson started moving into a position where they could easily take down the man turned walker. The man turned walker, opened its eyes devoid of life and menacingly turned its head and looked at the opposite of the bush. By this time, Ferdinand is still struggling to maintain wakefulness, as he is now filled with fatigue.
Ferdinand fought hard against the fact that his eyes were getting heavier while also feeling sluggishly. It seemed like all the adrenaline that was used during all the fighting he did for the past day was now really taking a toll on his mind and strength. He needs to go back as soon as possible on the base to rest. So Ferdinand pushed himself to stand up and go to where his men were and take a look on what's happening so that after they examine the man, they could immediately gather the resources into his spatial inventory and to head back to the base.
Just as when Ferdinand was about to stand up, a walker clad in armor jumped out of the bush where he was heading for and immediately went for Ferdinand. Waylen and Simpson thought that the man turned walker was going to attack them, yet reality proved them wrong as it immediately went for their commander. Waylen and Simpson dashed towards where their commander was. Meanwhile, the walker took Ferdinand by surprise so he wasn't able to deal with an attack first. The walker slashed forward, to which Ferdinand narrowly avoided, but in return he stepped on a twig again and fell down butt first.
Taking advantage of this, the walker slashed down, to which Ferdinand got his knife just in time to deflect the slash of the walker. Which he could slash the hand of the walker to which he strikes the weakness of the armor, and so the walker was now missing a hand.
The walker then looked visibly agitated and was now about to its other hand to slash Ferdinand's sides. Fortunately, it didn't work as both Waylen and Simpson just arrived in time to kill the man turned walker by slicing from different angles which decapitated the walker, making a crimson flower on the tree beside Ferdinand.

Upon seeing the message, it exhilarated Ferdinand that a potentially life-threatening danger was finally completely killed. Ferdinand then thanked both Waylen and Simpson for saving him, to which they replied it was not a problem, as they were just doing their job. Waylen and Simpson then both helped Ferdinand get up from where he was sitting. As of now, Ferdinand looks completely dirty and so he would need to use a restoring function once again soon.
Ferdinand, Waylen and Simpson then made their way towards the resource extraction point. While walking towards the resources Ferdinand then opened his system.
