Months had passed since the final battle, and the survivors had settled into a routine. They had established a community within the walls of the warehouse, with everyone pitching in to maintain their home and protect themselves from any threats.
The loss of Violet still weighed heavily on everyone, but they found comfort in each other and in the memories of her bravery and selflessness.
The group had grown, with new survivors joining them and adding their skills and strengths to the community. They had even managed to create a small farm within the warehouse, providing them with fresh produce and a source of food that didn't rely on scavenging.
But they knew that they couldn't stay in the warehouse forever. They needed to find a more permanent solution, a place where they could rebuild and thrive.
One day, while out on a scavenging mission, they stumbled upon a small town that had been mostly untouched by the zombie apocalypse. It was perfect - with its high walls and plentiful resources, it could be their new home.
They carefully scouted the area, ensuring that it was safe, and then began to make plans to move their community there. It would be a long and difficult journey, but they were determined to make it work.
As they packed up their belongings and prepared to leave the warehouse, they took a moment to honor Violet's memory. They knew that they wouldn't have made it this far without her sacrifice, and they were forever grateful for everything she had done for them.
With a newfound hope for the future, the group set out on their journey, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. And as they walked towards the town, they knew that they were stronger together and that they would never forget the horrors they had faced - and survived - together.
