Chapter 68 - 63
"When we leave!"
As soon as Allen spoke, Sylvia immediately sat up straight and said loudly without hesitation. Her sister was still in Atlanta, no matter how dangerous the road ahead was. Even without the protection of the convoy soldiers, she had to go.
Her sudden outburst startled Allen, causing him to tremble for a moment. Fortunately, Sarah saw his reaction and quickly comforted him.
"Yes, we definitely have to go to Atlanta."
Seeing that Allen was fine, Brian nodded in agreement with Sylvia's words and said softly, "Now that the whole convoy has dispersed, and it's winter, and it's so dangerous outside, the closest and safest place for us now is the Atlanta quarantine zone. Instead of wandering outside in fear all day, it's better to take a chance and go to the quarantine zone."
After some consideration, Wivfred raised the water bottle in his hand and took a sip. He was still hesitant about whether to go to Atlanta. While others had reasons to go there, he and his daughter Anna didn't necessarily have to.
The quarantine zone was located northeast of Atlanta, meaning they would have to cross at least half the city to get there. It was one of the largest cities in the United States, and the number of infected there was no joke. Even if they had no protection from the convoy now, it was uncertain whether they could safely make it there.
For Wivfred, his daughter's safety was paramount. He wouldn't take such a big risk for a few people he had only known for a few days and a so-called safe quarantine zone.
Seeing his father's conflicted expression, Anna, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't guess what he was thinking. Since her mother left, her father valued her life more than anything else. Now, with the road so dangerous and the situation like this, she knew her father probably wouldn't choose to go to Atlanta.
But she didn't want to continue living in fear and uncertainty like this. She hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time, always afraid that the infected would suddenly bite her neck. She had had enough of these days.
Anna stood up slowly from the ground, sat down next to her father, and whispered something in his ear. It was unclear what she said.
