The large convoy of Merle had just entered the base completely, but he didn't plan to socialize with these people, to be precise, he didn't want to stay in this place for a long time; after a few days, he would leave.
The next morning, Merle woke up early, grabbed some food from the supply truck, and sat watching the people in the occupied base.
Soon, Hanna also woke up, took a chocolate bar that Merle threw at her, opened the package, and took a bite, with a happy look on her face.
"Old man, when are we leaving?"
Merle took the last bite and vaguely said while chewing, "We'll leave as soon as possible. I've found what I wanted from this place, and we're already familiar. It's a waste of time to stay here any longer."
Just as he said those words, there was a sudden commotion at the main entrance of the camp, and soon a man with a bloodied face rushed into the pharmacist's room with a panicked expression.
Merle clasped his hands, jumped out of the car, patted Aaron aside, and then walked towards the modified RV.
"Aaron, come with me to see what happened to the old doctor."
"Alright, give me a few minutes." Aaron quickly wiped the blood off his face and could see a man beside Merle.
Merle was shocked to see him. Needless to say, he knew that Eric was by his side. Although he didn't care about the relationship between these two men, he still felt very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, there was another commotion in the pharmacist's room, and the man who had just entered came running out of the room in a panic, covering his neck with his hands and screaming in fear.
"The old immune man has turned into a walker! It's all over, we're all dead!"
The man stood there with blank eyes. They had no medicine to cure a person against walkers. The doctor had now turned into a walker, so he bit the man's neck as he came out of the room.
While screaming, the man repeated what he had just said, as if he had suddenly lost the courage to survive.
Many people rushed out of the infirmary at once. They all saw the bloody scene immediately, and all cried out in fury, except for Mack and Merle, who walked forward.
At that moment, Merle had already approached the man, smiled at the people in the room, and in the next second, a dagger pierced his neck, and he lost focus in his vision and fell to the ground.
"No!"
Santiago had obviously arrived in the room right away, his eyes were shocked as he saw his immune doctor dead, then he saw the dagger in Merle's hand and pulled out his gun.
"Don't shoot, he's the doctor who turned into a walker!"
"No, it's impossible! He's immune!"
Merle looked at Aarón and said, "Apparently, he got bitten during a wild night, and this idiot thought he was a walker."
Ignoring several hostile glances, Merle's people moved the doctor's body, and the man who had been attacked earlier had lost consciousness.
Merle gently tapped his face and asked loudly, "What's your hurry?"
Santigo remained silent, looking at Merle's people in silence. Merle took the opportunity to repeat his question, and the man finally remembered the purpose of his journey. He spoke a few words weakly and fell silent.
"They ran out of a doctor and have no medicine. They won't survive more than three years with these difficulties. If they join us, maybe half of them will survive, but all of you will be self-sufficient."
"Follow us, and your short future will become longer..."
...
One hour later.
There were several people sitting in the car, including Mack and Merle.
"Zz... Central base, this is group 1A-DP in the Texas vicinity. What are the reports?"
"Zz... Two CRM helicopters were intercepted by the Eagles in the southeast territory. Proceed with caution as our location is likely exposed to that organization."
Merle looked at everyone and fell silent. It seemed they had now directly clashed with the CRM, so this was the beginning of the end.
"Zz... We currently have a group of 150 survivors, maybe a little more... We will continue with the mission. If difficulties arise at the base, report immediately."
"Zz... Understood, sir. The commander will take charge of decision-making from now on."
After the radio stopped emitting sounds, Merle and everyone else knew that this was just the beginning.
