Being Smart

Hearing this question, Airon nodded calmly, admitting the question that had been asked. This question had been asked for a long time by different people, considering the soldiers under his ranks and that everyone calls him captain, there is nothing wrong with admitting this lie. 

When he met with the platoons in Atlanta and all those groups of soldiers with survivors, Airon told everyone that he was a soldier and his people along with him work hard to maintain a safe haven for all people. The second step was to issue the authority of a leader and request the services of the military who were not clear what to do next, so they all agreed to follow him without exception. 

Definitely this method has brought Airon many benefits, considering that the chain of command is down, what does it matter to lie to survive? Eventually it is certain that the military would turn bad, in fact it was not good to meet groups of military later on, but for now that was not important. 

Having two survivor bases, having a military guarding those bases and keeping order according to the importance of the command, he didn't have to worry about much more than continuing to move forward. 

Seeing that the man was looking at him with a confused expression, Airon's eyes glowed brightly and he began to use his great abilities to take control of the situation, he pulled out some metal plates on his neck and lifted them into the air. 

"Hello, you may call me Airon, I am a soldier and I am now in command of two large shelters where my people and survivors struggle to survive in this world at odds. It was a surprise to find you alive, I'm glad you woke up." 

Hearing this, the soldier looked at Airon with surprised eyes, sighed in relief and then continued asking, "Sir, do you know what happened to my companions, were they also saved by your people?" 

Hearing this question, Airon looked at the soldier and then shook his head slightly, no words needed to be said to express the answer of his question. Pausing, Airon took out two dog tags from his pocket, held them in his hands and then handed them to the soldier leaving them beside his pillow.

Upon seeing this situation, the soldier's eyes closed tightly, his eyes tightly shut and he began to shed tears silently, continuously muttering his confusion, "How could this happen! How could this happen? We were just out scouting the road...!" 

"A lot of things could have happened with your helicopter, the maintenance maybe wasn't correct and for that reason you had the helicopter engine failure, that should have been taken into account before you decided to have done a reconnaissance operation." 

When you saw this scene that kicked off the havoc of the third installment of the original story, many argued that this was because originally the Governor had shot the helicopter, something very absurd and impossible considering many factors before accomplishing that feat. 

But most likely it was due to poor maintenance of the helicopter, considering nowadays that resources are becoming scarce, maintaining a helicopter or a tank consumes materials that are hard to come by nowadays. On the other hand, it was also alleged that the helicopter went down due to the air against it, this should have damaged the engine in some way. 

After pausing, Airon said, "You have been through a lot, we have a very large list of survivors and I really hope that someone known or important to you is on that list, later they will bring it up so you can read it." 

Occasionally there are new survivors at both bases who enter and find family or close friends, this greatly benefits the future growth of the community. For that very reason, a list was made of the names of survivors at each of the bases where there are survivors. 

"Thank you, Sir..." 

Perhaps in this soldier's opinion what happened is not something that can be assimilated in some time, it really is an unbearable feeling, but this matter had happened and that is something that can no longer be avoided, no one can do anything about it. 

Airon, walked a few steps towards the soldier and said in a deep way: "There was a person who was still alive, we did everything we could to get him to our base but he couldn't hold on. They were treating you all night. I hope you value and understand that from now on you have to survive, do you understand me?"

"Thank you!" 　 

The soldier seemed to have regained some color in his face, no matter how he felt now, he thanked Airon with a breathy voice. 

"Your name should be Wells, right?" Airon asked, the badge on his neck had been checked earlier, so Airon didn't want to sound like an idiot. 

"Yes, I'm Welles! Lieutenant." 

"Nice to meet you Welles, you can call me Airon, you're the first person to call me Lieutenant, although my rank may now be that of a colonel, that's not taken very seriously anymore nowadays with the special ranks that are on the bases we protect." 

Airon shook his head, looked up at Welles and then asked, "Welles, can I ask you a question, can you tell me what happened to the base you were on?" 

Airon really only wanted to know where the squad that escaped with Welles was, but he knew he couldn't do it in such a blunt and direct way. He knew more or less the experience of these people and why they had to flee, but he still used his skills to gain their trust first. 

Considering that the location of that platoon is not provided in the original story, he had to figure it out himself. After all, there are at least fifteen regular elements, so it would be good for the base at this location to recruit them. 

In the open shelter in Atlanta, there were at least a hundred soldiers and about thirty policemen, all of whom were directly recruited and offered to protect the shelter that was constantly being cleaned out right now. And that required not only soldiers, but also good citizens who were grateful to have a safe haven to be in. 

Even if a military base or shelter that these soldiers were protecting was breached, that's because it's not just bullets that are needed to eliminate the walkers. It is true that the soldiers are not something very effective in the original story, but that was something that did not matter to Airon, with good knowledge they could become effective. 

Once Welles started talking, he couldn't stop himself. He told Airon all the details to Airon of the unfortunate encounters his team had had. This was not unlike what he had imagined. 

According to Welles, someone was bitten and turned into a walker, and then the infection spread without anyone being able to control it and that's when they all started to escape, after his group managed to escape they were blocked by the road full of vehicles, so after not knowing if the place was safe, they opted to watch the situation from the heights. 

After patiently listening to the other party's narration, Airon lied to Welles and his tone became authoritative.: "Well, that was really a tragedy, do you know the location of your companions? Leaving them without answers for a long time and with all those walkers gone would not be a good thing, where are they?" 

Airon was not interested in saving them or knowing their location, he simply spoke as if this was a show of help from a superior officer to helpless soldiers. 

In the original play, Welles also happily explained the position of his comrades. Although this would benefit him greatly, Airon wants to make it clear that they are not important in his eyes. 

"Will you really send a group to rescue them?" Welles did not hesitate at all, looking at the other party's military uniform, should they be army comrades? 

When Welles heard that he could save his comrades, he described the approximate location of where his comrades were and then looked at Airon with a pleading look. 

"Sir, I beg of you! Save my companions, I hope you can bring them to safety!" 

"Don't worry, they will be rescued!" Airon, who looked at Welles with a calm look, said, "I will, I hope you rest." 

After saying goodbye, Airon quickly found Shane and said, "Assemble an elite team, come with me and also call T-dog and Glenn, I want you to drive two cars, I also want you to prepare gasoline for tanks and normal for vehicles."

Sean nodded and sped off. 

Not long after, the two armored Humvee vehicles drove back out the prison gate and drove away.
