Rick's decision

Shane shook his head slightly, but his eyes glanced toward the second floor entrance. 

Guillermo behind him also approached and asked a little quizzically, "There's no walker, and the door wasn't locked. Why didn't anyone enter this place looking for supplies, it's so strange!" 

"Do you think the people in this area at the beginning of the chaos have evacuated? I highly doubt this is a trap..." Shane was a little unsure, but the chances of this being a trap are very low, and he still looked to Rick for answers. 

Rick shook his head slightly and pointed to the two shelves next to him. "Looks like someone came here for a drink, but it's been a long time since they did. Look under their feet, even with our numbers it's unlikely they'll ambush us." 

Upon hearing Rick's words, several people looked down and discovered that there were no other traces of footprints on the dusty floor except the footprints they had just left, and underneath the shelves, a series of messy footprints can be seen extending all the way to the door. 

People who are familiar with this place should go in to look for things, but for some reason they never came back again. It must be said that there is food, so much food that it would be impossible to finish it in a year being a family of ten. 

"Maybe they just didn't get lucky..." Morgan didn't think there was anything wrong with this situation. But he knows that in this world anything can happen. Maybe the survivors who came to this place died before returning, becoming an undead. 

"So, seeing that things have turned out this way, we have to move!" Rick said suddenly.    

Guillermo nodded and pulled out his radio to call the other people with the backpacks, before long he gave an order, and everyone started moving, and bags of food were hauled towards the military cargo trucks. Although there is enough food in his people's bases, the idea had been implemented to clean everything out and seal before things ended up rotting. 

There is plenty of food on the first floor, and more than a dozen people are desperately loading things into shopping carts, especially condiments. Condiments at the base are very scarce. Although there is no shortage of food, the taste of the food is really unsatisfactory, so now, when going out, as long as they find condiments, they will almost never be left behind. 

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was moving things around, Rick and Shane were moving up to the second floor. Compared to the second floor, the light on the second floor was a bit dim. The two walked between the shelves one behind the other, and as soon as they turned around to the second floor, Rick was a little disappointed with what he saw. This whole place was children's clothes and toys, but after thinking about it he decided to take some toys and clothes for the kids at the base. 

Shane smiled and picked up a construction toy and said, "The kids will definitely like this, so many books are not interesting, we need to bring some of these." 

Thinking of Carl, Rick couldn't help but flash a friendly smile, "Yeah, they'll like it! Carl should like something like this too." 

Soon, a group of people came out of the supermarket, and at that moment several military trucks were already filled with lots of supplies, and Rick grabbed Shane who wanted to get into the car. 

"Shane! Take everyone back first, I want to take a detour and I'll be back later." 

"Where are you going?" 

"If you look at the map there's a small town on the way back. I'll take a detour and check out the situation there." Rick pointed in the direction to go back. 

"Sir, then we should all go together!" Said a man who had a bandana tied to his head and many tattoos, he and many more were leaving the supermarket with the last boxes and carts of food. He knew about Rick's intentions and couldn't help but be a little excited. 

This is the first time he is out for supplies, and he has received such a large amount of goods, and he can get some things for personal use from them, some of the things he can show off to his friends, and he couldn't help but feel strong enough in his muscles to kill numerous walkers, he looked Rick in the eyes and waited for his response. 

But to his disappointment, Rick disagreed, patted this man named Miguel on the shoulder, and Rick said with a smile, "I really appreciate it! It's good to work hard, but it won't be necessary this time." 

Miguel smiled and obediently after taking things to another car, Shane took Rick's arm and stepped aside a few paces, he didn't understand his friend's thoughts. 

"What are you thinking, you think I'm going to let you go alone? If something happens to you, how can I explain it to Lori?" Shane opened his eyes wide and looked at Rick with a doubtful expression not knowing what he was thinking. 

Seeing that his brother was so anxious, Rick also understood Shane's concern, so he changed his words and said, "Hey, Shane.... Nothing will happen, I just want to see around, how about letting someone go with me?" 

"I'll go with him!" Morgan's voice sounded behind the two of them, he had been listening to the two of them talking a moment ago, and seeing Rick wanting to take a detour, he also offered to go with him. 

"Morgan! Your wife and son are still waiting for you!" Rick could accept someone else following him, but for Morgan, he really didn't want to take him with him. 

Morgan shook his head with a smile and explained, "Rick! I've been to hell and on numerous occasions I may have died, but I didn't die. We can help a lot more people and that's something my family fully understands." 

"I was able to do a good job in Texas, Airon trusted me and I know what I'm doing." 

Hearing Morgan's words, Rick had no intention of persuading him further, and as he waved to Guillermo, he said, "Okay, then it's settled, the two of us and Guillermo will go that way. Shane, we'll keep in touch in case anything happens." 

This time, Shane didn't force him to stay. After all, he drove to a small town on the outskirts to scout. The danger really isn't high. Even if they are infected, something dangerous shouldn't happen, as long as there are no surprise attacks from the unknown survivors. 

After everything was decided, the car they would be traveling in prepared several emergency supplies, and after a brief farewell, Shane climbed into a truck and led the rest of the people. 

Rick looked at the map, and after a while, he chose a road and they set off for that location. 

    

The occasional hiker, but they didn't find anything serious enough to put them in danger, and the three of them soon saw the small town looming in the distance.     

There are a lot of clouds today, and the sun at this point was covered by a cloud, and the outside of the car darkened a bit, as soon as they reached the outskirts of town, they saw the sign at the entrance to the town filled with graffiti. 

Rick took a closer look and found that most of these were people's names and some phrases full of negative emotions, mixed with some invisible words that had been eroded by rainwater. 

Every time they leave the prison and enter it again, they always feel new sensations. Originally the central base was a prison for prisoners, but now it has become an incredibly huge base. The cities that have not been taken over by the community have been deserted. 

Guillermo slowed down the car and drove slowly towards the main street of the town. 

On the way there weren't many dead bodies, but they were strewn about the streets after getting deeper into this town, the signs weren't everywhere. 

Rick has been looking at the houses on both sides. He wants to make sure there are no other survivors here. The number of survivors on the base continues to slowly increase. This is also due to the fact that every time the materials are collected, pay attention to this aspect. 

Airon once told Rick, "Don't worry too much about those bad people, the best time to collect survivors is in the early days of the apocalypse. If the apocalypse is a few years later, there will basically be few simple characters surviving." 

When their own strength reaches a certain level, they will opt to follow the general trend even if there are fish escaping the net along with a strict personnel review. 

Rick, who was in deep thought, just felt a flash in front of his eyes, and immediately turned his attention to the window of a building next to him. There was a girl in a white dress standing at the window!
