Rick wondered this time if they had arrived at a town or if there were more creatures. Carl motioned him and Joe over. Big Mike was already there. "What do you see?" Carl asked. This again? Rick looked out over the landscape. They were standing on a slight hill and could see for quite a while down a long country road. On it were a few people. Rick couldn't make out if they were creatures or not. "Who is it?" he asked. "Survivors," Carl responded. "Three of them." "Theyare? How do you know they're not thosethings?" Carl shot Rick a look.He really needed to think more about what he said. "I know," Carl replied through gritted teeth. "Trust me. See how they walk? They don't look like they're stalking anyone. They don't look angry. If anything, the look tired. Maybe even a little scared." Rick couldn't seethat, but he'd take Carl's word for it.
