"How is it?"
"As I thought — we must move. Once they sense our presence, they'd break this house down. And we know: the bigger the group, the more likely they are to sense us."
"Can't we hold down the house?"
"No. If we were in a remote area, maybe — but we're in the metropolis with endless zombies. Even if we evacuate to, say, the second or third floor, and limit access so the zombies can't climb up — they might all swarm into a frenzy and break the foundation."
Mutters filled the room.
"Do you have a place in mind, then?"
"I do. It'll take several stops, but it's an oasis right between a vast desert and a city. The desert will prevent the zombies from getting a whiff of us — and if they attack from the city, we can easily escape. The city around it provides everything we would need. Since we must go by foot, we'll loot transportation from those cities and take them to the oasis for safer travel."
"Wait — we can't use transportation?"
"No. As I mentioned, the zombies are very strong and are still traveling in large hordes. If we came across them, we'd be trapped in our vehicles and die for sure. The streets are also full of vehicles and ruins from accidents, so we couldn't traverse through them easily. As for food — we needn't worry, because we'll be passing cities for a good while."
Cain pulled out the whiteboard.
"Here's a plan. There are 200 of us here, so let's move in subgroups of 20. But we'll also spread out the destination locations, so the zombies won't sense our movement. One post will be filled by 3 groups — or 60 people. We'll form some sort of network, and everyone will be moving forward together. Hence, movement from post to post will take less than three days."
"How long will the whole trip take?"
"One group — 4 days to 2 weeks tops. But I think we should be able to make it before 2 weeks. Our current supplies will last us for one week, and we can easily loot more supplies like we have been."
"Father Cain—"
"I'm not a priest yet."
"But you wore a priest robe—"
"Uh, that was cosplay."
"Ok, so — Father Cain—"
Cain bit his lip.
Yea, whatever.
