[Music] [Music] macro really gave us back to these things don't you guys I'm Chu clock light him up do you have anything no hello I'm not see no lesions no no rash I'm still got on my teeth see it's all been 40 miles to the southeast for the quarantine zone to go there if you wish we can't help you I'm coming inside you you can't stay awake forever there [Music] wait look buddy keep going this Dino hey what the way to keep breathing like Jeremy's makes no difference see now worth the bullets right so we're just okay that's our look find something to have one of these things like two of them on a doorstep tomorrow he's not gonna run into anyone else oh well that's great then we'll just leave it to uh wander around we don't be here to get a diet picked up by the birds sounds like a perfect way to go you're on cleaning Kenda stores in me every time you lose an argument I can't poor fault yeah didn't eat how much Oh favorite vacation spot places place doesn't make much difference to me home favorite TV show come on now watch the news wow he must have been great at parties was that here the fall I guess you could say that oh you have to get your new CD oh that's where you play the song every day for the past few weeks been here two weeks [Music] you used to be one cowboy with an affinity for electrical engineering pretty much so I just attach the door switch from the microwave basically what that's gonna do is that's gonna trigger the sensor and the catch comes into contact with the virus it's enough okay I think things are going crazy right now then with the blood I just scrubbed off the window well there's a number of reasons for that the first being that the virus is pneumonic which we've been over basically that means that the virus can be spread to the respiratory droplets that are expelled when a host is breathing other mouth or nose but what makes this virus so dangerous is basically that it can survive in the moisture in the air as well now that being said the virus doesn't live very long without a living host so basically the number of pathogens drops significantly the further away you get from the infected now as Danny as that may be that means the please only worked when coming in contact with the living host if there's a dead host or if the virus some inanimate objects we don't get any pings and a warning but the reason I still need you to wear a mask when you're scrubbing the blood is in case you know you're scrubbing and you actually not lose some particles and you may be perhaps ingest listening oh yeah don't breathe it in don't get blood on your skin easy I know this is Locust go ahead Furman if be at the pickup in 48 hours you ready to go tomorrow yup as ever let me indicate he's got a tree this time 7 hey let's do more the last time it's not enough maybe no get plenty stock for that I'm doing it for more than just the supplies grow better even over this you can't save everyone but you doing more than most people out here most people can't even give themselves alive who knows these things ain't gonna help the Greeners best thing we can do for them is just put them out of their misery what is it with you what do you want to kill as many infected as possible is that why you came out here no tell you one thing though what that was me out there I want over in Easton when wanted rate my death out over a few years honestly we're doing them a favor okay you know what it is a horrible death all right and it's drawn out yeah but not giving them a choice and how they die is not doing them any favors all right talk we're dealing with some kind of deer on the side of the goddamn Road here these are human beings all right and if I can't help them then I don't need to [ __ ] hurt them either okay I'm sorry no uh you're right what you're right you can't help them crow either you want to help people save people and that's great that's just it you can only help the living let me take care of the ones who already dead but no audio that's a Grinner yeah not aggressive in fact he's lived the longest of any effect that I've ever seen usually they can't talk at this point don't touch it honey dad Wow now were you boys off to they're going on a supply run anything what are you doing it's all right can't take much but I'd be able to get some new line for that rod if you need it don't burn yourselves all right

Greeners are around much well jump in a six-foot hole and save him the effort you want me to turn it on after you charged it remember to take your pants off before you take a [ __ ] wise ass [ __ ] you I know how it works but then this thing started making a humming sound confuse the living hell out of me meanwhile a greener man should climb through the goddamn window well you seem fine now what'd you do [ __ ] smashed its face open with a toilet lid and then left it there unpleasant surprise for the next guy but I really don't like cleaning bathrooms okay look Lois I explained this at the last drop it's it's a new feature that I added it's called the kill hum - hum that goes off when you're within 15 meters were infected percent chance of infection before you only got a ping at 200 meters and that's you know no good you don't get a warning so you knew this already I explained it do you know how [ __ ] up I was last time we met if you want me to remember something gotta say at least three times pal including now cuz I could beat that three times if you'd like no not now dumbass I'm sober no you're not mostly sober you caught me in the eye of the storm all I'm trying to say is I'm not looking to get [ __ ] over and I'm not trying to do that okay look you're not gonna get these indicators for anyone else and only a few weeks can go by I've eaten rabbit and deer before man starts [ __ ] and dust alright we need each other I'm gonna pretend like I didn't hear that hint of sentimentality in your voice and agree with you but even one of those is faulty I'm gonna find you

clean type to me got any CD's No and more food will be fine thank you oh one more thing black cherry bourbon if you will oh these things are harder to find in a Grenier with good teeth it's a once in Apocalypse opportunity fellows thank you but like I said food hider if we don't live every once in a while what's the point of even keeping ourselves alive not booze [Music] was you critter yeah he

wouldn't waste their boats on somebody like this fair enough disrespectful don't you think I'm sorry I think you'll forgive me you know I could just as well be either of us next time yeah keep on turning so you don't ever think about that crosses your mind no it doesn't look we both lost too much fought too hard trying to keep ourselves alive going on death wish of energy you know I got someone I'd like to show you so we take a little detour yeah I always love this spot you come here much so it was always so busy you know people with their dogs teenagers to wrists families now locust is gonna be so pissed if she remembers what she won't it's the juice of that bud exactly well you don't like it no I just got to be careful a little too fond of this stuff back in the day really yeah doesn't do much for me now though curious thing that I had to lose it all the snap out of it you know 9 to 5 job wife kid manicured lawn he didn't strike me as a family man yeah wife and a daughter gone just like everything else happened well how's that town doing a guest lecture it's some [ __ ] Community College you don't even know what I was doing out there but they were coming home on the highway then I should pick my daughter up from school or something and the guy in front of them went over the divider it's black ice I guess it was January and my wife's got out and pulled them from the wreckage saved his life but he was positive so she picked it up that night pass it on to my daughter the next day they think sure anyway last time I saw him was through a 2-inch pane of glass plastic bags and machines all over him I couldn't even kiss him goodbye just a hurried farewell over an intercom I don't even know if they heard it sorry don't be this slifer's Oh a lot easier for me

friend Lily girlfriend we're engaged what happened no wall virus broke out she came out this with her folks wanted to get away from the city I guess just fine but you know so towers went down pretty

and I still haven't found her I know she's out here somewhere but after all this time what are my chances really but then there are moments moments when I remember how sweet it was to be by her side every day how happy she made me then I think to myself maybe it's not even her I'm looking for anymore you know maybe I'm just chasing a dream a dream where I was happy a dream where for a brief moment in time everything was going my way ah who knows what the truth is anyways there all I know is I still love her so I guess I can't give up on her yet you surprise me girl yeah I hear I was thinking there was nary a soul behind those eyes of yours but here I find myself a sweet sensitive young lassie now I could see why she wants to marry you the soul of a romantic that's what you got yeah well don't get used to it after this stuff wears off I can get back to my regular schedule of moping around all day and killing things good good you know I think this might be it hmm you asked me
