It's so scary that whole world is reduced to 5% of total population.

Both Payal and soldier has a point. But at this time army camp seems to be safest place.

Let's see where they are going to stay.

Thanks for update.

I love the innocence in Payal still. She asks the question similar to a child without any reservations. The military man's reply is to be expected in my opinion as they are trained to be part of the greater collective while provided with survival skills. Being part of a larger group does not necessarily guarantee safety (I don't believe that there is safety in numbers) - there is greater chance of in fighting for the limited resources. I love her idea of going into the woods and starting over fresh. If I was a betting person, I would go for the woods.

The title reminds me of Loki for some reason, he could never be still or be satisfied . . .

It's always better be in a small group rather than large one as there is always a chance of question arising of " survival " among themselves

There are pros and cons to either option - it's hard to say which is the 'right' choice to make. Guess, you just have to decide and try to make it right. Also, a single approach might not work in the long run. So, irrespective of what they collectively decide as a group now, they should prepare themselves to change / adapt - group / re-group as necessary from time to time.

Has anyone seen "The Blue Lagoon" movie? It's about two kids who are stranded on a remote island and survive for many years with just each other for company. Quite unrelated to a Zombie Apocalypse but Payal's idyllic idea of trying to survive alone reminded me of this. I remember watching this on TV almost a decade ago.

you just killed 95% of humans, I am trying really hard to grieve. 😛 Plus, all that decision making power made me insane. 🤡

I was hoping you guys will make some decision and come up with strong analytical points to support your claim. After which I would totally ride on the same bandwagon and take it forward 😆

Blue Lagoon is a bit different because first of all they are kids who haven't seen much of the world. Here we are dealing with adults who know about actions and consequences. That's why it seems like a difficult decision.

"So the fate of new world rests on effectiveness of military." Payal brushed through her now short hair. "Sounds ominous and not awesome."

The soldier laughed. "In the times of chaos, democracy rarely works. Haven't you noticed? Democracy has come after a controlled regimen."

"Wouldn't it be wise to skip the control part and dive right into democracy?" She countered.

"An order cannot be achieved without undergoing chaos first." Is his muted reply. "That seems to be the recurring pattern, isn't it?"

"There is a pattern and we refuse to see it. Speaks a lot about our supposed intelligence, no?"
