Chapter 56 - Keep moving

After accepting the four soldiers, Airon felt glad, although he did not know the capabilities of these four soldiers, he admired them for being able to stay alive even in their situation surrounded by hundreds of walkers, if it was another group of people, most people would rather stop suffering. 

Seeing that they were all too weak and needed to recover and there was no room in the cabs of the two nightgowns in their group, Airon simply helped them into the tank and when they all climbed in they saw that Airon's group had a lot of stuff in these two huge trucks and apparently knew their way around the walkers. 

This group was not as simple as they made it out to be. But at least they knew that if they made it to their shelter, it would be safe and they were now considered members of the group, and even they were not forced to help, so they all entered the tank and began to rest. 

After they were loaded into the tank, Auron and the others began to clean the place and gather resources.

Taking a closer look at the place, Airon remarked, "We are very lucky, because this base is located on the outskirts of the city, we can clean this place much more quietly." 

Airon was right, after all, the amount of walkers on the outskirts is small. And in just one night, the amount has not increased, only a few walkers have inhabited the surroundings. 

Looking around, Airon walked over to the main tents and looked at all those ammunition boxes stacked on top of each other, but he didn't go inside and continued to look at the other things around. 

As the leader of this group, Airon may not be the nicest or friendliest, but his strength and brains are always ready for combat. He didn't know why he felt something was wrong. He couldn't figure it out for a while, but there is an uneasy feeling inside him. 

"Rick, Billy and George prioritize dismantling the heavy weapons, Aurelio and three others circle around and pick up the weapons on the ground. The others follow me to collect the supplies in ammunition and weapon boxes, everyone be quick, I have a bad feeling about this place!"

The thoughts popped up in his mind for a moment, but he decided not to pay much attention to it and started loading the ammunition boxes and other things more to the trucks, and the people behind him showed expressions of impatience, wondering what happened! 

But they all trusted Airon's judgment. They had never seen Airon act in such a hurry. Seeing that his demeanor, tone and attention was unusually anxious at this moment, everyone was also affected. Stopping talking, they all concentrated on moving the supplies. 

Although they were very intrigued in their thoughts, no one asked questions and began to load the supplies, because they also knew that it was not convenient to stay long in this place. 

The supplies in this base are very rich, except for the uneaten food, everyone loaded the goods into the trucks with a smile, but Airon couldn't be calm with what he felt, the tension in his chest became stronger and stronger 

Seeing that more than half of the important supplies were uploaded to the trucks, Airon didn't want to wait any longer. 

"Let's get moving, get on the trucks and let's move out of this place." 

Based on Airon's perception and confidence, everyone stopped what they were doing and quickly climbed into the trucks, started the engines and left the site.   

However, before everyone was seated in the cab of the truck, the truck slowly moved forward. 

Amidst the turmoil and roar of the engines, the group exited the large plaza and as soon as they turned onto the road, Airon heard the exclamations behind him. 

"It can't be!" 

"God bless us!" 

Airon didn't look back directly, but only averted his gaze through the rearview mirror and saw that behind the trucks there was a large wave of walkers on the other side of the road right now, and in the direction they were heading would be passing them on their heels just now. 

Rick, who was at the end of the truck cab, looked at the situation behind them and couldn't help but say, "That's a big wave of walkers, how did you know?" 

At that moment, Airon's words were heard shortly after, "Well, I was once a hunter and soldier, I learned to feel the fear and danger to act long before I move, this feeling helps me to get out of situations like this." 

Everyone smiled when they heard this, the backs of everyone in the trucks were covered with cold sweat. But at the same time, they respected much more and Airon's decisions have been elevated to another level. George and Aurelio smiled, in their opinion Airon had many amazing skills. 

After traveling a few miles, the large wave of walkers behind them completely disappeared from sight. 

Airon ordered them to stop slowly and said, "George, you can drive from now on, we will go separately from this point, I need to go to some points closer to this place." 

"Captain, let's follow, just lead the way and we'll follow." Aurelio also wanted to follow Airon, so he proposed to follow him. 

"Yes, Captain, we are all together and we decided to follow him so that our strength will not diminish." Billy Fisher also objected to letting Airon act alone. 

The supplies to be transported this time really required a lot of manpower, Airon hesitated for a moment, "Alright, let's go together, it shouldn't be too long, but I still think we should find a third truck." 

Looking at the two long trucks full of all kinds of supplies, Airon suddenly realized this problem, but he could also accommodate things well without looking for another truck. 

Thinking about this, he no longer hesitates. If he wants to go to the remaining points of the supplies he has gathered, it would definitely take much longer if he goes alone. 

"Come on, let's leave quickly, try to pack everything before it gets dark and return to the prison directly tomorrow!" 

... 

Some time later, two huge truck bodies were parked in front of a front yard of a residential house, one of the trucks was at the front of the road blocking the road and the other truck was further in the front door of the house. 

Holding a huge hammer, Airon led several people inside the house. Instead of going upstairs, he walked directly to a wall. This wall could be seen just like the other surrounding walls. 

Just when everyone thought there was a secret door, Airon swung the hammer in his hand and smashed it directly into the wall. 

"Boom! Boom!" 

"Boom!" 

In a few minutes, an entrance leading to the basement appeared in front of everyone. 

"Airon, did you seal this?" Rick asked. 

Seeing that Airon had confirmed his question with a nod, Rick continued to ask with a slightly changed tone, "Did you know about the virus outbreak a long time ago?" 

Airon understood Rick's thoughts and said that there was nothing wrong with saying that he knew about the end of the world a long time ago. After all, these things were prepared a long time ago. 

But not many would understand, so Airon explained what he had discovered long ago. 

"Some time ago there was an information leak at a facility in France, this one said that a virus they were investigating got out of hand." 

"I'm a very careful man, so I foresaw if something like what was happening months ago came up, but things exceeded my expectations." These words were something no one could refute, even Tyler knew that. 

Most people knew about the society long before all the chaos started, everyone would think it would be a joke if I announced a world ending virus.

"An information leak?" Rick said tentatively. 

"Yes, many believed it and some didn't, then I met the Janners and got into the CDC. I had no choice but to keep that truth to myself in hopes that a cure would be found before it all blew up." 

Airon soon after led everyone to the basement and continued to say as he walked, "It was good for me that I at least believed the information circulating on the internet, but I can't say the same for others." Airon said before turning on the basement lights. 

The scene that appeared in front of everyone's eyes made everyone gasp, and all kinds of materials piled up like a hill were neatly arranged in different categories. 

"You call this getting ready!" 

The few people were speechless, the supplies in this room could last a month for the people in the prison, and according to Airon's intention, there were several places for supplies of this scale. 

"Alright everyone, let's load up!"
