David stood up together with Baren and went out of the room. The Mayor's room was right next to theirs, so it didn't take much time. Baren looked at David and gave a nod before turning towards the door and giving it a knock.

"Come in."

Barren slowly opened the door, stuck his head in and asked, "Mayor, do you have some time?" looking at the overly tired woman. She had bundles of papers before her, and her dark circles were more evident than last time.

She lifted her head and noticed David. She gave a confused look at him before turning towards Baren and asked, "What is it, Baren?"

Baren noticed her confused look and said, "This man here is David. You must have seen him earlier with the group of people who saved our children. He has an idea for us, for the current problems we are facing."

Hearing him, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "And what is this idea, you thought was great that you needed to ask me about it."

Baren looked at David once and took a deep breath before saying, "Mayor, I think it would be best if we shift our location from here to the military camp in Stargaze city. These people came from there and suggested we move there. They say it would be safer than here. I think it is also true because our situation right now is really tight and we might not support the people in our camp for any longer."

The room went silent after he was done talking. The mayor was thinking about the suggestion and if they should follow it. For her, the suggestion was food to hear, but her doubts were rather on the execution of the suggestion.

"And how do we travel to Stargaze city with all these people in our camp? You don't suggest we abandon these people, do you?"

Baren had a helpless smile as he heard her. He shook his head and said, "Not at all. I think it would be better if we act quickly and go out now so that we can gather around all the cars available and use them to drive to Stargaze city. If we take the police help, we can get this done quicker."

The mayor nodded and asked the next question in her mind, "Ok, now how do you propose we go about this?"

Hearing her, David said, "If you don't mind me talking, I suggest you guys form small groups of people with the police and send them throughout the city to get huge vehicles like trucks. Trucks would be more helpful to carry more people than cars. This would be more efficient."

The mayor nodded and said, "Alright, I will talk with the police chief about this right now. Thank you for your help, Mr. David. We appreciate it." Standing up and reaching for a handshake.

David nodded and shook her hands. After thinking for a second he said, "Can you involve me in one of your groups. I would like to help."

"Oh, it is ok. You already gave this suggestion to us. So it is more than enough. You don't need to participate even on the mission."

"No, it's ok. I would like to help you guys." With some resolution.

The mayor nodded and said, "Alright then. I will send someone to your room to inform you about this in a few minutes. Would your other friend also take part in it?" David smiled as he understood she was talking about Mark and shook his head.

"No, it would only be me." The mayor nodded and all of them exited the room. David made his way back to his room and knocked once.

Mark, who was done with his lunch, walked up to the door and once he noticed it was David through the peephole, he opened the door.

"So how did it go?" Closing the door after David entered.

David sat on one of the chairs and said, "It went well. They accepted the suggestion and would form teams to search out for vehicles right now. I also asked if they could include me in their groups." While nodding.

Mark heard him and immediately frowned while he asked, "Why would you request that yourself? Have you lost the rational part of your after seeing a few suffering people? You get nothing out of you helping them. Giving the suggestion itself is enough. You don't need to risk your life for it."

Mark now thought David was idiotic. Why would he want to risk his life? The last time he did this was back in Denton's company. He had to go down for the inhaler, but even then he only wanted that as a reason to gain some experience in fighting zombies. But now David clearly had no ulterior objectives as he did.

"It is something I want to do. I can't be like you, staying in here while those people go out there. If I can do something to help, then I will try. Don't worry, I will come back safe."

Mark sighed, hearing him. He could only shrug his comment about him. He didn't have to risk his life if there wasn't anything for him. It is natural for humans to be selfish. He looked at him and only reminded him, "You should start changing. Because surviving would become harder if you do this. I have said this many times, but I am reminding you once again."

David nodded and remained silent. He wanted to ask one more thing, so he looked at him and said, "Mark one more help. Can you at least try to protect these people if there would be a sudden zombie horde attacking this camp? When we take away the police to get the vehicles, there would be very few people to protect here. Don't worry, help only if you find the people here could not protect."

"Is this a request from you or the people here?" Raising an eyebrow.
