Chapter 29: The Dome Refugee: Part 1 (2/2)
Josh scrolled through the list, looking for vehicle number 3098. Once he found it, he allowed the truck to pass through.
”You can go.”
The gates opened.
”Thank you sir!”
The truck passed through and the gates closed once more.
”Are you sure we don't have to confirm whether they're bitten or not, Josh?” Steve asked.
”They're forced to head to the quarantining area right after, you really think they're getting past there with a bite? Even if the truck was full of zombies, they're not getting past.” Josh replied.
”Yeah, I guess you're-”
Steve was interrupted by Josh who suddenly asked.
”Hey, is that a group of people?”
Confused, Steve looked towards the direction Josh had been staring, coming down the same path that the truck had come, a group of four individuals could be seen.
Two teenagers and two children.
”It definitely is. Contact HQ.”

The four stopped ahead of the gates, there were around three gates all around the dome, since the north side of it branched off to the river, a gate wasn't necessary on that side to keep watch.
Gray and his group entered through the south gate.
”Hey! Any one of you guys bitten?!” Josh asked.
”Obviously if they were, they wouldn't tell us.” Steve replied.
”Shut up, Steve.”
Gray interrupted the two as he spoke up.
”No, none of us have any bites.”
”Alright, just know that if you're lying, under government guidelines and the people's safety, after you walk through this gate, you may be put to rest.” Said Josh.
”Yeah, we understand.” Gray replied.
Josh quickly inspected them from above. They carried two hiking bags and except for one of them being covered in a lot of dried blood the rest wore neat clothes. It was almost as if they hadn't just come out of hell.
”Since you're here I'm sure you know that this is a refugee, therefore any of your weapons which may bring harm to any individuals will be confiscated. There are other rules you should know once you go inside, but the guys in there will tell you. Is that cool with you?” Josh asked.
The four nodded.
”Good, I'm glad you kids were able to survive up to this point. Open the gates, Steve.”
The gates opened, and a warm breeze blew by. Through the opened gates, Gray could see the territory inside, along with countless military vehicles. And if he looked even further ahead, he could see the dome.
