A woman who had been quiet until then raised her hand. "What about the
zombies outside? The street is still full of them. If they come toward
the building, what do we do?"
Bai looked at the map. "We don't open the doors to fight them in the
street. The building entrance is not a place for people to gather and
watch. If the street gets loud, stay inside and keep away from the
windows. If a group tries to enter, we use the reinforced doors and keep
the path behind them clear. If the entrance becomes unsafe, there are
two internal places where people can shelter until the noise passes. We
went over those locations yesterday."
The woman nodded slowly. She did not look reassured by the idea of more
zombies outside, but she seemed relieved to have an instruction that did
not require her to fight them. Bai knew that fear would remain.
Instructions could not erase the danger, but they could help people
respond without making it worse.
