Yes that's the best course of action... But they are living in apocalyptic world, where manpower, supply, etc, everything is sparce
They cannot establish what virus or whatever pathogen that is infecting them… ergo they have no vaccines… fyi spoiler…
the kids were not reproduced conventionally…the base used some kind of mutation to make more kids ASAP…thats the gist of it
If they're gonna make mutation to make more kids, why not make kids mutation that adapts to environment like that?
Not Every human in this story favour humankind (that's the spoiler and the reason) there's evil In goodness typa shit
Wtf is the point of staying alive so far for?
So the child has been infected damn, I feel so sad that children are just exposed to infection like these. Change the entire layout of the base, how can a garden of Eden in the middle of the base got one child infected? Change the structure. Instead of shooting it on sight, they need to prepare a vaccine before a child or anyone gets infected.
