Surrounded

Immediately after coming to a conclusion, Ryan approached his group of survivors, and made a frank and bold statement to them all. A level of honesty that they had not come to expect from the teenage boy who had usurped the position of leader through ill-gotten means.

"I'm going to be blunt with you all… If we do not go out and scavenge more supplies… Well… There's no easy way to say this, so I'm just going to come out and say it. We will run out of supplies within two to three days max… So… I'm looking for volunteers to go out and scavenge supplies. Whether on campus or out in the city.

I'm not going to lie to you all. This is an incredibly dangerous situation. We have no idea what evil lurks in the city outside the safety of this gymnasium. And we know that Zane and his forces will try to undermine us at the first given opportunity. Because of this, I will be granting priority access to rations, to whoever returns with the supplies we need.
