72 Who do they want to be afraid of?

Airon, who was on his way to the block where these troubled students were, looked at Daryl and asked him to accompany him right now and lead the way.

On the way, Daryl spoke briefly about the situation of these students and, incidentally, pointed out what these students discussed the day they entered the prison. Airon, who listened to this, noted to himself the behavior of these people and what would await him later. 

Depending on the situation, he would have to educate them to understand their true position inside the prison. For anything an internal conflict could break out, this would cause him problems so he had asked William to take care of the weapons and food. 

However, Airon only thought about these things for a moment and then ignored them. These students were definitely just a bit nervous, so he should just take good care of them and understand what they wanted next. 

"Crack!" 

With the sound of a lock, Daryl opened the block where the students were. Entering the unit, Airon stood in front of a group of people who had already left their cells. 

Looking at the numerous young men in front of him, the other party also looked at him silently in the same way, and the most conspicuous boy in front of Airon seemed to be some sort of leader or representative. 

"It's all of these, when they arrived they apparently wanted to eat each other." Daryl looked at the students with an indifferent expression. 

After watching them for a while, Airon told Daryl that he would take care of it from now on. Just now as he walked in, the tallest young man in the group matching his height especially caught his attention. This kid should be the immovable fire of the group. 

Although Airon always has the best intentions with people, he should at times make things clear to everyone. This group of people seem to be simple survivors, and the best thing yet is that no one seems to be sick with anything.

Bruno Lastra suddenly came up in front of Airon and blocked his general view, lowered his head and said, "You are the captain of this group? You don't seem to be anything special, we were waiting for a long time." 

Hearing this, Airon was pleasantly surprised by such idiotic behavior from this person, wondering who they thought they were to try to start this kind of conversation, and said, "It seems no one wants to talk, I'll come another time and until then you will get nothing but water." 

Seeing that Airon and Daryl were about to leave, the expression on Bruno's face paled and he immediately said, "Please don't go!" 

Airon stopped, turned his head and looked at the boy named Bruno and said, "You're right, we don't have much time and we can't leave them in this place indefinitely either. I ask you please don't be uneasy with what you are able to say, let's talk like civilized people, believe me this is your best option."

With these people trying to play childish games, Airon did not continue with this and made things clear to everyone. "Well, needless to say the world has changed and with it so have we, so I want to ask you a question first, where do you want to be, outside this place with the walkers or in this place surrounded by strong and protected walls?" 

Seeing that the test to judge Airon's temperament failed, the girl named Nara behind the people frowned slightly, she understood that Airon was not someone easy to read. 

Seeing Bruno's frightened look, Nara shook her head and couldn't wait any longer in this situation, "The walkers will kill us, many people in this group can't even run properly because of fear." 

Miras looked at the group, Airon heard those words and said, "Well, then you must judge who you will be more afraid of, the walkers out there or me at this precise place and time." 

Everyone trembled upon hearing these words, no one understood the true intention of the leader of this place and what he could do in this situation. Nara originally wanted to see what Airon needed, she wanted to see his decisions and to know if she could somehow predict what the other party would do.

Airon, stepped forward and held Bruno's shoulder and said, "This morning I had a lot of trouble getting to my shelter, someone who is no longer with us murdered a young man who had intended to survive." 

Everyone was silent when they heard Airon's words, honestly now no one intended to speak. After releasing Bruno, Airon walked towards and stopped suddenly. 

"I don't want you to be nervous, I'm a good person as long as no one causes trouble. I'm here to present you with your possibilities and await your choices next, is this fair enough?" 

Everyone nodded silently as they looked at Airon, and finally everyone diverted their attention to Nara. 

Nara, who was standing behind all her companions, silently cursed this group of idiots. In fact, she can't blame anyone because things didn't go her way, she couldn't know anything about Airon and how they would be treated in this place. 

Of course, Nara also considered that this situation could happen if all this didn't go well, and if everything had gone on as normal Bruno should have apologized for his idiotic decisions and then continued to ask them basic questions about what would happen to them in this place. But as a result, Bruno was filled with fear and forgot how he had to continue acting on the plan. 

Nara, who was angry at the idiotic companions she had in this situation, could do nothing. At this moment, Airon's eyes had already fixed on her, and now knowing that it was all in vain, Nara simply took a step in front of the crowd. 

"Hello, my name is Kwon Nara, and for now I'm the one making the overall decisions for everyone here." Nara's expression was calm, but an air of intelligence could be seen around her. 

Hearing this, Airon scoffed slightly. Even if this Nara girl didn't say anything, he would know that she is the smartest one in this group. Regardless of whether there is confusion or not, he also wanted to look at the temperament of these people. 

As for whether the other party's words are credible, it's not too difficult to figure out, you can find out if you ask other people. 

Thinking about this, Airon walked up to that girl who was no more than five feet six inches tall, looked at her carefully and said, "Since we are communicating properly, were you the one who told everyone how to behave?" 

"Not at all, on behalf of all my classmates he apologized to me. You must know that we have been locked up in these cells for many days. We all started to get scared due to no one explaining to us what was going to happen to us." 

Nara's face turned a little pale when she heard Airon's accusation, so she quickly explained her simple thoughts. 

"Very good, then should I introduce myself? I'm Airon, the captain who looks after and is in charge of ordering everything that happens inside the prison." 

Seeing Nara nod, Airon smiled and said, "First of all, on behalf of everyone I apologize for the bad attention given to you, you should know that things have not been quiet these past few months." 

Nara shook her head at Airon's words and remarked, "We should be the ones to express our gratitude, thank you for deciding to save us."  

After finishing speaking, Nara bowed slightly and then continued, "You should know that we have been locked up for many days, if there is anything you need as payment, we can do anything to pay off that debt, but I hope you can explain to us about this place and if it is possible for them to let us out." 

Hearing these words, Airon did not respond immediately, he walked towards the exit and said, "I have no problem with that, I will give you a tour of the prison and then tell you the rules, how about that?" 

Soon, a large group of people followed Airon out of the unit where they had stayed for several days.

Walking into the open square, the feeling of being imprisoned for two days was finally released. Each and every student breathed in the fresh air while looking at the surrounding scenery. 

Airon then began to explain to everyone in a deep voice, "First of all what we do in this place is survive, all these people are just looking for a safe future and I just help them with that while I take care of creating that home that everyone is looking for today." 

Turning around, Airon smiled slightly and everyone felt it was easy to get along with the person in front of them. 

"One of the most important points is that this time I met very late with you was because I was out on a mission, and that prevented me from explaining to you the situation in this prison, I hope you don't blame my group." 

When Airon finished speaking, he showed everyone a slightly honest look. Now, at least most of them had a calmer look on their faces.

Now, after a simple clarification from Airon, the students also understood the reason. They were complete strangers and no one in this place was obligated to help them, it can be said that it was more than enough that they were fed well during this time. 

"Let me tell you where we are, this place was originally a prison in western Georgia. My people and I fought very hard to clear this place of walkers. Now there are a lot of people living in this place from different places." 

"Today we have everything to take care of ourselves and those next to us, there are those who are in charge of eliminating walkers, others have important jobs and the important thing is that everyone is helping." 

While Airon was explaining to them what they were doing in this place, they saw the soldiers in the watchtowers. Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw them all heavily armed and some more couldn't contain themselves. 

"My goodness, look at all those tanks!" 

"I thought there wouldn't be so many!"   

"There are soldiers and police among the guards protecting this siege, you will definitely be in good hands in this place, we have medical equipment and many more things." 

"Airon, you're a good leader." Said Candace who was approaching in a white coat. With a somewhat tired expression, she and many more were the only ones still struggling to find a cure for the virus.   

After saying those words, Candace smiled and then said, "Airon, we think the cure has had a breakthrough, the first test doses might be ready, do you want to take a look at it?" 

"You mean the vaccines against that virus?" Nara's eyes widened in surprise. At this moment, she couldn't contain her posture when she heard the word vaccine come out of that lady's mouth.
