''This land is your land, this land is my land

From California to the New York island,

From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;

This land was made for you and me.

As I was walking that ribbon of highway

I saw above me that endless skyway;

I saw below me that golden valley;

This land was made for you and me.

I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps

To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;

And all around me, a voice was sounding;

This land was made for you and me.''

The song continued to play on a boombox as a couple of infected were growling as they were trying to break through the welded wire fence around a watchtower somewhere in the forest.

Inside the tower, there was a woman who was sleeping on a bed as the sun had already risen early in the morning and the birds were chirping while the sound of the pouring water in a nearby waterfall was peaceful to the human ear.

After a few minutes, the woman's eyes were opened as her mouth opened as she yawned. The woman was Alicia Clark.

Alicia slowly rose up as she could hear the noises of the infected despite of the song that was playing as she walked over to a window and looked outside where she saw the infected down at the fence.

She then walked over to the boombox as she turned it off and then went to where her bag was as she opened it and grabbed a plastic bag filled with loaves of bread, a jam jar, and some butter as she placed some jam and butter on two loaves of bread as she began to eat while she the poured some coffee on her cup as she drank it.

After a while, she was finally done as she then placed the butter and the jam jar in the bag. She then grabbed her binoculars as she went by the window and started to watch the snow-covered forest through them.

As she was watching, she noticed black smoke that was coming from a distance as this made her feel suspicious and curious as she then continued to look for a couple of more seconds, as she tried to see something else but couldn't see anything else.

Alicia then placed the binoculars in her bag while she put her winter jacket on, as well as two comfy gloves and a knit cap as she also grabbed a big sniper rifle that belonged to her as she then proceeded to walk down the stairs to the fence that was preventing the infected from reaching her.

As she walked down, the infected became more and more aggressive as they tried to break through with all their might as Alicia stared at them right in their eyes.

A few minutes later, all the infected outside the gate were laying down dead on the ground as Alicia was brushing her teeth and washing her face at a pond nearby as she then placed her toothpaste and brush inside her bag as she then walked closer to the tower as she looked at the dead infected as he had killed. She looked specifically at the black spray paint on their foreheads as another infected began to growl from a distance as she was walking closer to Alicia while Alicia noticed her.

Alicia reached out for her knife as she walked over to the infected as she grabbed her head and stabbed it in an instant. She then pulled out spray paint and sprayed it all over her forehead, as it's revealed that she has been spraying the infected for some reason.
