"We didn't know each other before, didn't we meet after this whole mess started?" Morgan frowned and looked at Airon, he really didn't want these people to be kicked out of the prison.
"The security of this place is organized by me. I can't assure you that I know these people well, but it's certain that not all of them are bad people! But if you take a good look at all our encounters, they will be different from a moment ago."
Airon paused, his gaze swept over all those people who didn't want to see the reality of their stupid decisions and pointed out, "Guillermo's people were taking care of old people before he took them to the shelter! You, Rick and Shane were good cops before, Morgan and his family were helping others before I met you, Glenn long before he met us tried to help Rick and me, Hershel is not part of our community, but his daughter and neighbor are here to help us clean up the prison."
After saying that, Arion frowned slightly, she knew the other party didn't want to get their hands dirty and now it wasn't their intention to try to do something wrong, they just didn't want to commit a dark act.
Airon paused, but still said, "I'm just trying to look out for our own, I've seen and experienced some really horrible things, I witnessed people doing inhuman acts long before the end of the world came, what kind of things do you think are happening out there today?"
Daryl, next to him, listened to Airon's words and suddenly felt that many were not seeing the bigger picture. This person is only thinking about everyone's safety. Thinking about this, he also said, "Airon is right, many are not understanding what can happen to us if we let those people go. We can't let those starving people out of prison, I'd rather live as a villain than die as an innocent."
Everyone was silent and there was an inexplicable light in everyone's eyes. Airon didn't insist, he patted Daryl on the shoulder, indicating that they will move on.
Just a moment ago, Airon seemed to have a lot of mood swings, but in fact he wasn't upset with anyone really, he had no problem letting those criminals go just to let the others understand their mistakes, but he knew there would be many more things for the others to learn little by little.
Now it seems that his words were not bad, at least Daryl understood what he really meant. In the end he would make the ultimate decision, if anyone disagreed he might consider taking action to fix those problems.
Some people entered the cafeteria, which was a very large place. The rows of seats had been removed to one side of the room, leaving a large space in the center. There were blankets on the floor on one side where these people slept.
Ahead, there was a hallway not far from where this group of prisoners seemed to be sleeping, Daryl passed first and walked forward.
"Damn, this group of people sure ate well!" indicating to the others, they all saw a warehouse-like place filled with all kinds of food.
"Look at all that food!"
"We won big this day!"
Hearing the exclamations of happiness, Airon kept walking forward and looked at all that food in front of him, surprisingly it was a lot more food than he had imagined.
If he calculated the days, he arrived much earlier at the prison than planned, all those days in advance were rewarded with food.
According to three meals per person per day, considering they were five young and strong people the food they consumed was extravagant.
While everyone was looking at that food, Airon did some calculations for himself and said, "Although it is nothing compared to what we have, based on this amount of food and what was distributed in the prison, it is estimated that they fed more than five hundred people, if all this warehouse full, it could feed for a week all those people."
The fact was exactly as Airon said, this full warehouse could feed more than five hundred people for a full week without renewing it, considering the capabilities of this food warehouse, they could live in this prison more than five hundred people without a problem.
"That's amazing, having many people in this place would make us very strong, right?" Glenn said entering the warehouse with a big smile on his face.
Everyone looked at Airon with bewilderment. No one had in mind to build a shelter with more than five hundred people, that in this day and age is an unimaginable thing to lead. Right now, everyone's thoughts are in disarray because of what happened earlier, but Airon doesn't seem to have time for that.
Airon, who had been quiet at this point, remembered something and looked at Shane, "By the way, we're bringing Guillermo back tomorrow. We can't let him live in Hershel's house forever. We'll clean out a cell block today to get the place ready for the elderly and sick. We have doctors and nurses here, it will be easy for him to recover."
Shane nodded to show he understood, then turned and walked out of the cafeteria.
Rick walked to the side of the warehouse and suddenly discovered that there was a tightly closed iron door behind him.
What's this?" Rick approached the doorknob with curiosity!
"Auge!"
Airon took a step forward to press the iron door Rick wanted to open.
"It's better not to open it. Didn't you find the room to be very clean? Do you feel something is missing?"
They all looked around and shook their heads, and Rick asked in confusion, "What?"
Airon smiled boredly and said, "I guess this is a bathroom, so there's no need to open it unless you want to have a good experience."
Rick also realized this after listening and lowered his hands.
"Is that really true?"
However, some curious young people still didn't believe it. One of those young men reached out his hand toward the iron gate. Airon's expression darkened, he turned around and walked away.
"Oh my goodness!" When the door opened, the faces of those young men turned green, and Rick, who was standing in front of the door, reached out his hand to close the door while holding his nose with the other.
"Fuck!"
"Who the hell opened it!"
"Frick, you're going to die!
The corners of Airon's mouth turned up slightly, but he found that after everyone groaned, they looked at him with that weird look again!
"Fuck I thought it was good fertilizer!"
Daryl looked at Airon as if Airon was a monster, he's always thought to use anything as an advantage, a true born survivor.
...
While Airon and the others were cleaning the prison, the CDC people were also preparing for the move.
People were busy packing supplies everywhere into military trucks, even the researchers were moving the most important things out of the labs.
Outside CDC, Mike along with Sam Valdez watched all the soldiers on the move transporting the boxes of weapons and ammunition to the military trucks, during all this time the most experienced people were in charge of the outside security of this place.
"Mike, the first trip to the prison will be the most valuable because of the resources that will be moved, they will be escorted by tanks and most of our force to protect them." Sam Valdez said with a calm look on his face.
"Won't it be dangerous to leave this place so unprotected?" Mike looked at Sam, if the trip went ahead, more than half of the experienced soldiers would be moving with the people.
"No, there are strategic points to defend the CDC center, those machine guns can destroy a large group of enemies with ease." Sam Valdez was not anxious, the strength and experience of many of the civilians who were trained were now worth a soldier.
Some were trained to learn how to mobilize tanks, others in using machine guns and many other weapons of a higher level. Considering resources, they would have to make at least three major trips like the one that was now being prepared.
"We have a large amount of weapons, is it really necessary to carry them all?" Mike could have sworn that the building next to him was filled with many weapons of all kinds, ammunition and all sorts of other tools.
From his understanding, who would use so many weapons and who exactly were they to fight against? There were at least a hundred weapons for every refugee there was in the S.C.T. community.
"You don't understand, Airon mentioned that there would be many communities that may consider us enemies, who knows? But it's better they are in our hands than in enemy hands, what do you say?" Sam Valdez looked away from Mike.
"In our hands ..."
...
In a bedroom, Lori was reading with Carl, while thinking about the ones her husband was doing. She couldn't help but think about everything that had happened so far, she feared her husband would become cold-blooded like Shane was.
Just then, her bedroom door was knocked on from outside. "Knock knock knock!"
Lori got out of bed and walked to the door, opened it and looked at Candace on the other side. Candace on her side asked directly, "Lori, the first group will be ready to leave shortly, do you want to go with them or will you wait?"
Lori looked at her son and said, "I want to go with the first group if possible."
"Get your things ready then, by the way, about your test..." Candace said with a smile.
