Afterlife/The alpha male

After walking a few hours without any resistance, the group walks through a tunnel. They talk to each other about their experiences. When Jake walks a little further than Aiden and Alan, Alan says that he doesn't want Jake to live in such a world. Alone, always on the run, he thinks that Jake simply can't live in this world.

When they look at Jake, they suddenly hear someone shouting from the end of the tunnel. The voice says that they need to turn around, as the zone behind them is a quarantine zone. They don't give up and walk on, but a soldier knocks over Aiden. They warn them another time, but the group wants through the tunnel. Then a soldier punches Jake, making Alan go insane and killing the soldier brutally. the other two soldiers try to kill Alan, but Aiden shoots them first. Alan than says that they need to run as far as possible into the quarantine zone to prevent that they are sent back.

While they run, they walk right into a group of soldiers. They are surprised by them and the group can hide just in time in the building. Aiden says that if Alan covers him from the building, he can take out the soldiers. He stealth kills most of the soldiers and can count on Alan on support fire. But when they have killed all members, an armored vehicle approaches them. They hide in a building, but the soldiers set the building on fire. If they surrender, they can live, otherwise they'll die. They give up and surrender.

They are brought to a hideout. They meet the leader of the soldiers, simply known as the alpha male. They are put in prison and that they'll be used for good purposes. Aiden spots blood patterns on the walls and remembers a story of Tom, telling him about the militia who live by cannibalism. He says that to Alan, who panics. Suddenly, they hear the alarm. Soldiers shout that infected have come through the perimeter, the tunnel where Aiden killed the guards. They use the moment and Aiden pulls a soldier against the fence, strangling him and grabbing his gun. He shoots the lock and they escape from the building, only run right into an area full of zombies.
