Seeing this slender figure, Airon was surprised to see who it was that was forcing the door to get out, it was none other than Noah.
At that precise moment, Noah was using a crowbar to pick the lock on the door but failed in all his attempts. After Airon's sharp eyes confirmed that the other party had no weapons, he slowly stepped out of the corner and approached with slow steps.
"Do you need me to help you?"
Hearing the sudden voice, Noah was startled and began to tremble, when he turned around he saw that there was a figure hiding very well in the darkness.
When he realized that there was someone other than him in this place, Noah breathed somewhat relieved that this one didn't attack him, but he still raised his knife slightly, fixed his eyes on Airon and then asked, "Who are you and what do you plan to do?"
Noah's primary thoughts were that if that mysterious person is alone, if he wants to steal something from him they still have a chance to defend themselves. As long as his attitude is strong, he will definitely keep that person away.
However, just as Noah was about to show a defensive line with the stranger, he saw other people behind Airon. All of Airon's group had rifles, pistols, crossbows and they were all well equipped that even without saying anything were scary.
When he saw all those people, his body froze, the knife in his hand could not give him the slightest sense of security in this situation, so Noah threw the knife to the ground making the smartest decision, he raised his hands to show his surrender and then slowly approached the group of people.
"My weapons are on the ground, believe me when I tell you I have no malicious intentions, just coming to get some supplies and right now I'm leaving!"
Daryl who wasted no time, walked on his left side while his piercing gaze was fixed on Noah, he still remembered when he and Airon were tricked just for wanting to save a person who had made just one mistake.
Knowing that the time had come to not trust people so easily, he walked behind Noah and pointed his crossbow at him before saying, "Don't move!"
When Noah felt that someone had already reached his back, he thought that today was really a bad day to try to escape from the hospital. On the other hand, Airon fixed his gaze on this boy who shouldn't be in this place and at this time, how was it that he escaped without Beth in the first place?
Besides that, the time was long before Rick's group arrived and connected with the hospital, so now he had to consider these details for later. Airon only focused on the present when Noah was controlled by Daryl, so he fixed his gaze again on this boy.
"I'm really sorry for this bad first impression, but the last time we were nice to strangers we almost ended up with a knife stuck in our chest." Airon holstered his gun and asked, "Can I have your name?"
Noah, who seemed to have accepted that right now he had nothing else to look forward to, lowered his head slightly and replied in a somewhat weak voice, "I understand, my name is Noah..."
Hearing this, Airon nodded and asked, "Hi Noah, I'm Airon, can I ask you what you're doing here? Well, I don't know if you know but my people have a shelter less than three miles from this place, do you by any chance have any relation to the people at the hospital?"
When Noah heard about the hospital, he looked at Airon and asked in an uncertain tone, "May I first ask what is the relationship between you and the hospital?"
Airon, who was not worried about this question, answered, "Well, for now my community's goal is to hide and receive more survivors, we could be considered a scouting group. Today, as one of our first objectives, we decided to come to this hospital and see what is going on."
Noah, who felt that Airon's words spoke the truth, then breathed a little relieved to know that they were from a larger shelter and replied, "It is true that there is a group of survivors in that hospital, they are all led by a woman named Dawn Lerner. If I remember correctly, there are about a dozen policemen, no more and no less, but every one of them is armed.
"I was in the hospital for about a year. When I came to the city together with my father to look for my uncle, we had a terrible accident, but luckily those people saved us. I was happy at the time, but that woman decided not to help my father."
"After my father died and I recovered from the injuries, they forced me to work to pay them back for the favor they did me." When Noah spoke to that point, he clenched his hands in hatred.
Jon suddenly asked, "So you escaped from the hospital?"
Noah nodded and then said in a pleading tone, "I already told you everything you wanted to know and now they may have sent someone to find me, can you please let me go?"
"Heh, where do you plan to go?" Daryl lowered the crossbow and asked with a slightly husky voice.
Hearing Daryl's question, Noah showed a longing expression, "Shirewilt Estates! Well, that's where I lived before I came to Atlanta, the place is in Richmond, Virginia. There were big walls in that place before I came here..."
Daryl suddenly sneered, for some reason, when he heard Noah's words, the appearance of a small cardboard wall appeared in his mind, and then he thought of the magnificent wall at the base of his group, and when he saw the appearance of Noah, it felt very strange, but in the end he held back his laughter.
But when the rest of the group heard Daryl's laughter, their expressions were filled with disbelief, then George who was in the front was the first to laugh, then strangely there was a chain reaction and everyone started laughing.
At that moment, Daryl also had an expression of wanting to laugh but he kept holding back, as soon as the corners of his mouth opened, he pretended to cover his mouth and cough, and held back the laughter.
Noah looked at the group of people who couldn't understand each other laughing in a daze, not knowing what he had said wrong. Merle who had arrived at an unfamiliar time scoffed and shouted, "You're such an amazing kid, Carlos will definitely take you as a brother."
"Ahem, pay attention to your surroundings!"
Airon felt a little embarrassed at everyone's attitude, then after a while they stopped laughing. After that, Daryl signaled and they all turned around and started to leave the room.
Noah took the liberty of asking, "What's wrong, did I say something wrong?"
"Well, maybe Daryl's laughter is too infectious? Long story short, we too will be directing you possibly to Virginia when we take this place, you can join us on the way, but know ahead of time that we'll be making a lot of stops."
Seeing Noah's silence, Airon pointed out, "Sure, that depends on your choice. Hmm, not right now but maybe someone later on will ask some questions. Only then if you answer those questions will the group make a decision whether to take you or not."
Although Airon had seen many things in his life, Noah was still a boy, but that didn't mean he wouldn't be a great man and leader in the future.
Coupled with the sense of security brought by the military uniforms worn by Airon and the others, the hesitant Noah nodded.
When he asked Noah about the detailed personnel list of the other party, Airon changed the subject and decided not to stay in this place anymore and asked Noah to follow him.
After some small talk, Airon remarked, "Now that we understand everything we need to know about what we will be doing, it's time for us to visit our friends!"
...
A modified RV painted in a very unique color traveled the streets of Atlanta. The exaggerated appearance of this truck is very striking, but at this time the streets were dead and there was nothing but walkers.
Glenn, who was in charge of driving this time, stepped on the accelerator with enthusiasm and the great weight, size, fenders and structure of the truck caused the walkers to be torn apart without difficulty.
Airon, who thought he was watching a video game, looked at Glenn, who was driving with a big smile on his face and couldn't help but say, "Glenn, don't get too excited, don't forget we'll have to clean the outside of the truck later."
Glenn instantly froze as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped on his head and, at the thought of the walkers strewn everywhere on the tires and exterior of the modified RV, he shuddered all over.
By this time, the hospital had already noticed the car in the road, and when the police saw the car parked in front of the hospital, they all pulled out their guns and ran down the stairs in a panic.
A group of policemen quickly ran to the second floor entrance and saw three people getting out of the modified RV, all wearing S.C.T. patches and bandanas, combat vests, black tactical uniforms, rows of magazines on their chests and all carrying an M4 on their back, pistols on their waists and a black leather man carrying a shoe box in his hands.
The excellent equipment left them dumbfounded. In fact, the police are equipped with very good equipment, but they can't stand the lack of bullets right now. Many guns are so useless. Now, the most commonly used weapons by these policemen are pistols and some shotguns.
The three people who got out of the car pulled the cold guns out of their bodies, and with a few movements, they killed a few walkers.
After that, a man spoke in a hoarse voice: "Who the fuck closed the hospital?"
