With our current numbers, even if we tried to establish a new base, our resources and capabilities would be severely limited. And with the zombie horde behaving unpredictably, we have no way of knowing when they'll return or if something even worse is coming. Either way, the situation doesn't look good. That's why sticking with you is our best shot at survival."
"And why do you think that?" Sparrow asked, not out of curiosity, but simply because he truly didn't understand.
"Like I said, instinct," the man replied. "I won't force you to believe us right away. Just let us follow you for a bit. If you don't want us inside your base, we'll stay outside—we'll fend for ourselves and provide for our own needs. But knowing there are other survivors nearby would at least give us some peace of mind. If something happens to us, our people would have somewhere to go."
