Chapter 78 - 73
Sweetwater Creek State Park, located on the outskirts of Douglasville, is easily accessible from the interstate highway and is close to Austell County. Therefore, the park is situated between the two county towns.
In the past, it was a popular destination for nearby residents to relax and travel, but after the apocalypse, it became a deserted park. Perhaps in not too distant a future, it would become a paradise for the infected.
At this moment, there was a faint smell of gunpowder lingering throughout the park. Bright lights illuminated the entire dark park. The brick and dirt roads were filled with large craters, resembling the aftermath of intense battles. Several military trucks seemed to have been burned by fierce flames, turning them pitch black, with wisps of smoke still emanating from them.
Dozens of bodies lay on the ground covered with snow, their crimson blood staining every corner. One could imagine the fierce battles that had taken place here not long ago.
At this moment, a dozen or so survivors and soldiers were working together to move the bodies on the ground together. Afterwards, they began covering the blood with snow, burying the evidence of the recent carnage.
At the entrance of the reception center in the center of the park, dozens of people dressed in civilian or soldier attire knelt on the snow-covered ground, their hands handcuffed behind their backs, trembling in the cold wind.
Surrounding these people were a dozen or so fully armed soldiers, their rifles at the ready. At the slightest movement from the detainees, they would be prepared to open fire.
Inside the reception hall, which had already been cleared out, all available space was filled with tents. Countless survivors roamed inside, while army medics treated the injured survivors.
All these tents were found in a warehouse of a store specializing in tents within the park. Most of them were damaged or torn, but after some repairs, they could still be used.
