"If that happened, then that's all the more reason we need to hurry the fuck up and get to the Walmart and make sure they didn't hit it first. We need to make sure we get there in time to barricade ourselves in so no one can sabotage it, that's our one hope to get a shelter we can rely on. Odds are, if your friends are still alive, they'll make it here eventually and we can help them. But going to look for them or anything like that would be suicidal." Alex shook his head. "Keeping ourselves alive has to be our priority right now. I'm sorry if that sounds cruel but the world has become a very different place very quickly, and the rules changed as well."
