"If we're going to sweep, we need to stay close at all times. Someone should walk backwards to watch the others' backs. I recommend two teams of two, personally, but a group of three should be fine. I'll go. Who else?" Alex piped up. "Once we get everything inside secured we can start barricading. We'll have to have an easy escape route though, and a way to get back in if we need to go on a supply run. The automotive department should have a shutter door and I don't think the zombies would be able to break it down so we shouldn't need to secure it too much. But that would ideally be our escape route so let's bring in the hummer and any other vehicles we find in the meantime. Right now we should concentrate on arming ourselves and bunkering down for the long haul. Odds are if we go looking for anything too distant, we'll be attacked by bandits, or attract a hoard of zombies. Leaving town is like asking for trouble so are we all sure we're prepared to stay here?" he asked the rest of the group.
