The ten recruits blinked in surprise when Shane ordered them to build a wall.
They had been brimming with excitement, ready to test their new strength against zombies or even evil Survivors.
So the sudden shift from battle to construction left them momentarily stunned.
Still, none of them complained. He was their boss, their leader, and they had already seen enough to know that Shane's decisions were absolute…
One of them muttered under his breath, "A wall? I thought we'd be smashing skulls… But we will follow you, Lord Shan!"
Another recruit, who was also a bit surprised, realized that building a wall was indeed important and nodded. "Well, if the boss says build, then we build. Better to have defenses before the fight comes to us."
But reality quickly set in… they had no tools.
After looking around, the building where hammers, saws, and cooking utensils had been stored was nothing but rubble.
