Atlanta, border base.
At this moment, a new batch of survivors had been received, thrown by the soldiers from the front lines at the outposts. Every day, hundreds of people are received, each one brought by the soldiers who were monitoring the front line.
A soldier dressed in an Arm-3J combat suit and heavily armed shouted as the new survivors were escorted to the checkpoint, "Everyone inside! Stay in line and follow the instructions."
"Name and what were you doing before the end of the world, be very brief." In the front line, there was a woman dressed in a standard military uniform. She looked at the survivor in front of her and asked with a happy smile. It's always good to receive survivors, especially in places where it rarely happens.
"My name is José, and I preach the word..." José, who had a long scar on his face, looked at the woman who was evaluating him and said with a reserved smile.
"A pastor?" The woman asked as she filled in lines with José's personal information.
"Yes, hahaha." José said with uncontrollable laughter.
The woman looked strangely at this man and signaled to the soldier next to her to give this man a special check-up. On the sheet she had in her hand, she wrote that he possibly had mental problems, something uncommon even in this world.
Many people had passed by with scars, some on their foreheads while others on their chin or lips, and according to the soldiers who brought them, they had escaped from men who were their aggressors.
Following the control line, a soldier was checking each survivor, saying, "Next! Come on, move quickly."
One of the people in line asked nervously, "What will happen now? Will they take us to a safe place?"
A soldier, looking at the survivor sternly, explained, "First, we need to make sure none of you have been infected or bitten by walkers. We can't risk the safety of others because of you."
"But we haven't had any contact with any walkers. We're clean!"
The soldier responded firmly, "I'm sorry, but it's our protocol. We can't take any risks. We need to ensure the safety of everyone at the base."
One of the soldiers, meticulously checking each survivor, said, "Show me your hands and arms. I want to see if there are any recent wounds."
One of the individuals showed their trembling hands and said, "I'm fine, I haven't been bitten, I promise."
The soldier carefully examined this person and nodded, "Very well, carry on. Next, please."
A soldier noticed something strange and approached one of the survivors, asking, "Do you have any symptoms of illness? Have you felt fever, headache, or nausea?"
The nervous man shook his head and quickly said, "No, I'm fine. I don't have any symptoms."
"Well, that's a good start. Now, lift your shirt so we can check for any suspicious bites or scratches."
The person took off their shirt and showed both their abdomen and back, saying, "Here it is, everything is fine, no bites."
"Perfect. Now, keep walking towards that door. We will assign you a temporary cell until the quarantine is completed and further tests are conducted."
The survivors cautiously moved toward the indicated door, while the soldiers attentively watched for any signs of infection. Uncertainty and tension filled the air as everyone understood the importance of maintaining security within the base. Only those who pass all the tests and are cleared of any potential risks will be able to integrate into the community, seeking a safe refuge in these dark times.
But among the crowd, there were certain individuals with a cold expression on their faces, as if everything was going exactly as they wanted.
...
As the survivors were released from quarantine and integrated into the S.C.T. base in Atlanta, something unexpected began to happen. Several of them, without warning, suddenly transformed into walkers, unleashing chaos and death in different areas of the base.
Screams of surprise and terror echoed through the corridors as the S.C.T. soldiers, alerted by the sudden appearance of the walkers, rushed to respond. Containment forces mobilized quickly, attempting to control the situation and neutralize the threat.
One of the soldiers who were policemen shouted, "We have an emergency! Walkers in Sector B! Deploy containment teams immediately!"
The soldiers, armed and ready to confront the walkers, entered the affected areas, fighting fiercely to contain the threat and protect the remaining survivors.
"Stay together and aim for the head! Don't let them get too close!"
Bang Bang Bang!
The sound of bullets echoed through the hallways as the soldiers shot at the walkers, targeting their heads to ensure complete neutralization. Despite the imminent danger, the S.C.T. containment team showcased their training and skills, working together to regain control and safeguard the community.
"Move forward! Clear the area and make sure there are no walkers left!"
The soldiers advanced with determination, eliminating the walkers one by one. As the situation stabilized, the containment forces secured the area, ensuring there were no remaining latent threats.
After an intense struggle, the situation was finally brought under control. The S.C.T. soldiers secured the base and conducted a thorough sweep to ensure there were no more infiltrators or disguised walkers among the survivors.
"Area secured! No more signs of walker activity. All infiltrators have been neutralized."
With the threat eliminated, the S.C.T. soldiers took a moment to regroup and assess the situation. Although the losses were regrettable, the quick and efficient actions of the containment team managed to contain the crisis and keep the community safe.
"Good job, team. The base is secure once again. Let's remain alert and prepared for any eventuality."
With their weapons raised and a renewed sense of determination, the S.C.T. soldiers continued to stay vigilant, aware that the fight against walkers and internal threats still persisted. They knew they had to remain united and alert to ensure the survival of their community in the midst of a devastated world.
However, in the next moment, a soldier reported, "Sir, I believe someone from high command needs to see this... This is simply evil..."
