Answers - a maze runner male oc x the walking dead fanfic

The new beginning

     In the aftermath of the apocalypse, a sixteen-year-old boy named Alex emerges from the depths of a mysterious maze, leaving behind the horrors of his former captivity. Little does he know, the same organization that created the maze is responsible for the catastrophic events that have plunged the world into chaos.

       Alex stumbles upon a group of survivors led by Rick Grimes, who are unaware of the existence of the organization or the true nature of the virus that has turned the majority of the population into flesh-eating monsters. Determined to warn them of the looming threat, Alex must navigate the delicate balance of trust and skepticism among the survivors.

        As Alex integrates into the group, he begins to unravel the secrets of his past and the sinister motives of the organization behind the maze. Along the way, he introduces the concept of "cranks" – humans infected with the virus who exhibit violent and unpredictable behavior – a term unfamiliar to Rick and his comrades.

        As tensions rise and the true extent of the organization's reach becomes clear, Alex and the survivors must confront not only the relentless hordes of walkers but also the formidable adversaries pulling the strings behind the scenes. With courage and resilience, Alex becomes a beacon of hope for his newfound allies, leading them on a perilous journey to uncover the truth and, ultimately, to survive in a world where the line between humanity and monstrosity is increasingly blurred.
