What else should he have expected really? While he was sure the walkie talkie was working, he suspected that they were either out of range or on a different frequency. There were other options, but Alexander's gut held onto those two. [color=662d91]"Well it was worth a shot."[/color] He told himself, pocketing the radio as he kept on walking towards the ever rising stacks of smoke. Looking up on the sky and sun, he smiled, feeling the growing heat spread across his face and outer clothing. It was indeed a welcoming change to the unloving touch of winter. The moment of enjoyment ceased to impact Alexander quickly, however, with a sound coming from Alexander's left, making him turn towards it, pistol raised and aimed at whatever it was. It wasn't the same sound as he'd heard before, the low rumbling from far away. This sound came from a few yards away, somewhere near the long line of houses standing before him. They looked old, regardless of the lack maintenance after shit really hit the fan, but the gurgling noise was not something he had expected. What could it be? Seen as the snow was melting, perhaps it was water pipes bursting? Alexander had no idea, and without further inspection he probably wouldn't out. But did he want too? Alexander decided that it was worth it, but also that extreme caution was needed. He hadn't seen a Walker for a while now, which only meant that the chance of him finding one was rising. Alexander holstered the pistol and instead armed himself with his trusted fire axe, before inching forward towards the noise. If it was a Walker, he hoped to outrun its frozen grasp south. If it wasn't anything, he had just spent valueable time he could have spent getting further south.
