Ollie leads us inside Coco village. It's pretty big and by the looks of it, the entire village is surrounded by a wall made of concrete, and there's people on top of the wall patrolling with guns.

Calli: Nice home you have here, looks pretty safe.

Ollie: It's very safe. We have everything we need here, food, water, medical supplies, we even have jobs for everyone like doctors, farmers, guards, scavengers and more.

Ina: This is a really well organized place. How'd you all manage this?

Ollie: Well, we have a very strict system here. You either do your part, or you get kicked out. It's to prevent someone from doing nothing and getting all the benefits while everyone else is doing hard work.

She leads us to a school.

Gura: A school?

We see a small group of kids run by.

Kiara: You guys have kids here too?

Ollie: Yep. We even give them an education. The future might look dark and we're not even sure how much of a future we have left but we never gave up hope. If we're to have a future then we have to worry about the next generation, and they're it.

She points at the kids. She then leads us to a garden.

Ollie: Here we have the garden.

We see people working hard at taking care of the garden.

Ollie: We grow tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, potatoes, onions, beans and oranges.

Kiara: That's amazing.

She then leads us to a jailhouse.

Ollie: Here we have a jailhouse. Though small and only has about eight cells, it's proven affective in the past. We also have strict rules here. If you're accused of committing a crime you'll be kept here in the jailhouse to await trial. If you're proven guilty of crimes that aren't that serious such as petty theft, or going outside the walls without permission, you get a warning, get too many warnings and you lose privileges. If you continue to break the rules, we kick you out. However, if you commit a serious crime such as murder, there's no warnings or loss of privileges, you just get kicked out. Very rarely will you be executed for something, we only had to do that once.

Calli: Oh wow. This system must also be built on trust right? You guys trust each other to do your parts?

Ollie: Yes. If you don't do your part, then you harm everyone else. For example, if you're a guard and you slack off, a zombie could kill someone because you weren't there to stop the zombie from getting that far in the first place when you should've been.

Ina: Makes sense.

Ollie: Anyway, that's about it. The rest of the buildings are mostly just homes.

Amelia: What's your job here?

Ollie: I'm a math teacher at the school.

Calli: Cool. By the way, wasn't this place attacked by the lions recently?

Ollie: Yes. We managed to make them retreat but we did suffer casualties. I heard their village burned down recently. Serves them right.
