Chapter 19 - Connected with nature!

As the men are discussing amongst themselves alex looks up at the sky then his watch to find it's only the start of the afternoon he still had time to complete everything he set out to do today as he had spare time he started thinking about his location although it seemed where he is it's isolated but that couldn't be more wrong it's less populated compared to cities but it's still populated there is a lot of gated communities and neighborhoods out here there isn't one piece of land that doesn't have a house although spaced out a lot no street did not have a house and that went for majority of the state luckily the population wasn't high as all Wisconsins population are based in cities but Wisconsin is primarily rural which is weird as a large portion of the population lives in cities only 30 percent live of the population live in rural areas which is still millions of zombies outside of cities luckily Wisconsins biggest city only has 500,000 population if it had millions like some major states alex would just make that a dead zone and never go there, millions of zombies yeah right someone else can handle it thought Alex with a smirk unbeknownst to Alex minutes have passed since he started his regular thinking and every squad had chosen it's emotional support I mean combat dog

Seeing that his men already picked they're dogs and were standing with them alex just nodded as he said "2 squads will be stationed here the squad leader with the highest score will lead guard of this place" said Alex as no one dislikes this method as it literally gives them the best chance at survival politics aren't played when you struggle to survive it's impossible unless you want to die "yes commander I'll pick out the men to be stationed here" said Myers taking a look at the 34 dogs picked one more time Alex said again "get ready to go back to base in 10 minutes" "yes commander" said everyone as they saluted and got ready as Alex went to cam to give him instructions as well "cam you keep breeding and training and listen to the guards imma station in this place they will save your life when needed" said Alex not talking serious at all his men would save the people here even if they were total dicks but he knows they won't be dicks he saved they're lives and he has the guns they will be as polite as possible "yes Alex and what should we aim for breeding? Any preference?" Asked cam as Alex thought for a second and said "let nature take its course I don't have a preference as they will all be useful" said Alex as small or big dogs had the same uses with no disadvantages is just that big dogs can actually help in a fight and intimidate survivors but he knows a few months from now those ferocious dogs would look more like a meal to hungry survivors than a threat "alright Alex I'll just let them breed with who they want and how they like this should result in interesting breeds" said cam as he was already excited its truly a blessing to find passionate people in there field with the browns and now cam he knew that this breeding base was in good hands

As Alex had more conversations with cam and the people here seeing that it was time he said his goodbyes to the people as he left his humvee for the 2 squads stationed here as Alex and his men left the gate of the reserve his men he left to guard it and the people living in it all saluted his departure until they couldn't see they're figured anymore and got back to work, walking through the trail back to the gated community brought Alex back as he felt connected with nature it's been a while since he appreciated nature's beauty in his last life he basically feared for his life at all times and didn't have time to admire in this life he was to busy to admire it and he was glad that he got connected with nature as it cleared his mind and made him feel refreshed guess he had alot of physiological burden and this relieved some of it sadly the trail finally came to an end as it led to the gate of the gated community, going through the gated community and finally infront of Alex's mansion Alex turned to myers and said "train them for a few more hours missions will be given by the time they are done drilling" said Alex as he himself had some missions by now John has long forgotten about what happened in the morning "John I think you should go be with your sister she is probably worried about you" said Alex as he watch his men train in the street outside his mansion "yeah yeah I know you just want me off your hair" said John in a joking tone as he walked off into the mansion leaving Alex with a smirk on his face as he walked inside the fence of his mansion there were military tents everywhere filled with boxes some had vehicles under them

Soon enough after passing rows on rows of tents he made his way to the entrance of the basement he could of just went inside but it's faster this way as he made his way down to the basement and in the familiar scene of guns and ammo aswell as alot of equipment he sat down in a stool and used his laptop as he texted in a group "be ready the end is coming may your will last you and remember don't be a hero" he sent this exact message to over 100 groups these groups were a combination of doomsday preppers and some veteran group chats he had collected a lot of information from these groupchats like location of they're bunkers and he recruited his original 20 men from them so it's only right to warn them
