Carl has always had a good memory, especially for things that he doesn't want to forget, then Carl will be able to remember them.
When he came to the door in his memory, he handed the box to Liz and said, "Help me hold it."
"Okay." Liz took the box. There was something in it, but it wasn't very heavy.
Carl turned the handle, and it seemed that he was not mistaken. He shone the flashlight on the ground and walked into the room.
After Liz came in, Carl closed the door and turned off the flashlight as well. He put the flashlight back in his pocket, took the box from Liz's hand, and then took Liz's hand and walked towards the direction he remembered.
"Carl... it's so dark." Liz's hands were shaking a little. There was no light in the room at night. It was absolutely dark, as if all the eyes had abandoned her.
"Well, you need to get used to the darkness too. I don't just mean the darkness right now."
"Wh…what do you mean?"
"You'll understand, it just takes some time."
"Uh uh…"
Carl stopped, the familiar roar had reached his ears, and Liz now understood what was ahead.
"Penny, I'm here to see you." Carl said softly.
He let go of Liz's hand and slowly walked closer. Suddenly, a figure pounced over and Carl also opened his arms, waiting for the hug.
However, Carl knew that Penny didn't want to give him a hug, so Carl grabbed Penny's head to prevent her from biting him.
Then he leaned his head against Penny's, "Sorry, I'm so sorry."
"Penny, be quiet, good girl, be quiet."
…
"Her name is Penny and this is Lizzie."
"Liz, you know what's in front of you, but it doesn't matter."
"Her name is Penny, I thought you might get along well."
"Well, Penny, you won't misunderstand..."
"Liz, Penny is a little hungry. Let me teach you how to feed her."
…
"Good, you're not scared, that's good."
…
It was a somewhat weird scene, but fortunately the weirdness only existed in the darkness.
…
"It's been more than two hours. What are you doing in there?" Thomas held a cigarette between his fingers, but did not light it.
"Go back." Carl responded and leaned back in the back seat and closed his eyes.
She felt a little sleepy. According to her normal biological clock, she should be sleeping at this time. Liz leaned back in her seat drowsily.
"I'm a little curious."
"Be curious, but don't explore."
…
Back in the prison, Carl asked Thomas to stop the car in the second area within the prison, and told Thomas not to rush back to the cell area, but to find a place to sleep.
Then Carl took Liz to the side and rear. Although Liz was a little sleepy and kept yawning, she didn't say anything and followed Carl obediently.
Carl remembered something. If he remembered correctly, this infectious disease also affected animals, and the impact was no less than that on humans.
When Carl took Liz to the area where the animals were raised, there were already some people there who seemed to be moving some animal carcasses, which made Carl feel a little uncomfortable.
Sean wasn't there, but Carl saw someone he still remembered.
"Pete." Carl called out.
Pete was slightly startled, and looked in the direction of the voice. It was not until Carl came closer that he saw Carl clearly, and he obviously recognized Carl.
Compared to Carl who still has an impression of Pete, Pete has a much deeper memory of Carl. How could he easily forget such a special child?
"Carl, long time no see." Pete smiled.
Carl smiled back, "I remember Sean said you seem to be in charge of the prison's construction and logistics?"
"Haha, to be precise, I'm in charge of everything, such as dealing with corpses as you can see now." Pete smiled helplessly.
"What's the situation? Have many animals been infected? What about horses?" Carl frowned slightly, looking a little uncomfortable.
Speaking of this, Pete's face turned a little grim. He also understood how precious captive animals were in the end times.
"One wild boar died, and the other one looked a little sick, and it looked like it was also infected. To be on the safe side, we killed it and prepared to take it out to burn it."
Pete pointed to the pickup truck on the side. The cargo bed was full of animal carcasses. In addition to wild boars, there were also pheasants, wild ducks, and sika deer. The cargo bed was almost full.
Pete continued, "The pheasants were almost wiped out, but fortunately there is a nest of chicks in the third area, which should not be infected. There are also several sika deer in the third area.
As for the horses, except for the old, weak and sick ones in the stables that were infected, the others have been in the third area these days. Because the second and third areas have been intentionally isolated these days, most of the horses should be fine.
This is all thanks to Sean's foresight. He is an excellent leader with a vision that is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
When he said the last sentence, Pete looked at Carl with a smile in his eyes.
Carl breathed a sigh of relief. Sean didn't need him to tell him the facts in too much detail. He had his own judgment. As long as he knew the general situation, he would be able to make more responses.
"I'm glad the horses are fine. Next time you guys should be careful and make sure the virus doesn't spread to the third area."
"Well, we will pay attention. The current zombie-clearing team is left in the third area. After we get these bodies out, we will thoroughly disinfect it.""You call that a wall?"
"Why not? Isn't it a wall protecting us?" Pete smiled.
"Okay." Carl nodded. "Tonight is a sleepless night. Thank you for your hard work. I have to go first."
Pete suddenly thought of something, "Oh, right, Rick and the others seem to be back. I remember Rick seems to be your father, right? Do you want to go see him?"
"Okay, I understand. It looks like it's almost over." Carl nodded and turned to leave.
"Hey, do you know where Rick is?" Pete shouted from behind.
"I don't know, but it doesn't matter."
Carl glanced at Liz, who was almost falling asleep while standing, smiled helplessly, then quickened his pace, taking Liz with him, and walked quickly towards the first area.
"Do you want the gift first or do you want to go to bed first?" Carl asked softly.
"I'm fine with anything." Liz forced herself to open her eyes and looked at Carl.
"Haha... I'm sleepy too, let's go to bed first."
"Oh." Liz was a little disappointed.
Karl smiled and said, "It's yours, and it will always be yours. I just saw that you were very sleepy. You must be a little tired today."
"Sorry." Liz lowered her head.
Carl rubbed Liz's head.
"Hehe... no need to apologize. It looks like we'll just have to find a place to stay for the night. But tonight is a sleepless night, so it's good enough that we can just make do."
Although Carl also wanted to go back to his room, take a shower, and have a comfortable sleep with Beth, Carl couldn't.
He had been to a high-risk infection area. Even though he was special and would not be infected, Carl was not sure whether he would carry the germs.
