The heelers and their family and friends made it to nyc. It was complete chaos. As the Midwest, south and east coast was dealing with a massive influx of people. But over time it would be contained.

From the west's ashes rose a new nation. The new California republic. A fragile and unstable state. A military formed from the remnants of the state's respective national guards. As this nation began to rise. The un and nato aided what survivors remained in the west with airdrops containing food and a new viral suppressant called antizin that suppressed the virus and kept people from turning for a temporary amount of time. Doses needed to be administered every few days. As the GRE provided the territories with airdrops and other aid.

Bingo held Loki the whole helicopter ride across the country.

Once they made it to the neighborhood the soldiers organized them all and checked their information and other things. Once cleared they were escorted to their neighborhood.

"Bingo... what are we gonna do with this baby?" Chili asked

Bingo with all her bravery and strength told chili what she wanted to do

"I wanna take him in.. he deserves a good life" said bingo

Chili was taken aback by this statement

"B-bingo.. we can't take him in.. we have a lot to focus on. We can't have too many mouths to feed..." said chili

Chili wanted to take this baby in too. But was concerned they wouldn't be able to take care of him.

"Mum please! He needs a home!" Bingo pleaded

"Bingo you need to finish school-"' said Chili

"Chili. Everything will be fine. We should take in this pup! He would live an amazing life here. We can't just take him to a foster care center. He would suffer there for sure.

Chili realized bandit was right. As a nation and as a community. They needed to help each other and be there for each other. This would be a rough road ahead. But they knew as long as they stuck together they would make it through

Chili took a breath and gave a small smile

"Your right bandit. This baby needs a home. And we'll be the ones to give it to him!" Said chili happily

Bingo and Bluey cheered as the stressed out puppy cooed and whined as he was comforted by them

Chili held the small pup and check the documents he had with him.

His name was Loki bull and he was only 4 months old

The documents he had were his birth certificate,personal documents and all proof of identity and records.

"Your such a beautiful little puppy. Your safe now sweetheart! Welcome to the family!" Said chili softly scratching his little belly and giving him a kiss to the snoot

Their new home would be inspected and their records checked.

Due to the mass amount of orphans. Many pups could be adopted fast.

After a few days Loki was living with them with a clean bill of health

Loki began to warm up to his new family as he was loved by all of them. A new level of hope was given. The us was more United than ever. And throughout the east coast and Midwest. Yankee's and southerners and whoever you could think of worked together to build a safe and stable nation. As nato and the GRE supplied aid to the west.

And in the west an unstable nation formed. It's army utilized the infected.

And as the weeks went on new mutations began... and at night... things would change in the infected cities of the N.C.R...
