Lynn’s system-driven mission led him from the Atlanta Zoo to Rick’s family and a growing survivor group, then onward to Hershel’s Farm in search of safety and supplies. After Lynn’s team returned with medicine, the discovery of walkers in Hershel’s barn drove the survivors off the farm, while Shane prepared to fire an RPG at it.

• Lynn’s system ordered him to rescue Rick Grimes from the hospital within 48 hours, so he took Davis and Min-seon to find him.
• Lynn’s group rescued Rick, learned that Shane had taken Lori and Carl, and reunited Rick with them at the quarry camp near Atlanta.
• Lynn recruited several survivors and led the group through a walker horde, then moved them to a gas station while Dale repaired the RV and Lynn accepted a quest to save Hershel Greene’s family.
• After The Jackal warned Lynn about armed raiders at the Sunset Motel, Lynn led an assault that killed their leaders and secured their RPG launchers and rockets.
• Lynn brought the survivors to Hershel’s Farm, where Hershel allowed them to camp outside the fence for three days under strict limits.
• When Sophia became feverish, Lynn led a team to Greenville for medicine, where Glenn secretly took a pregnancy test and the group escaped a walker horde.
• At dinner, Glenn told Hershel that he and Maggie had seen walkers locked in the barn, and Hershel ordered Lynn’s group off the farm.
• Shane took an RPG launcher from the RV and aimed it at the barn as a shotgun was chambered in the darkness.

Lynn brought Hershel’s family to the zoo base, organized its survivors, and fought off threats from Vulture’s Claw and the Whisperers. After discovering a parasite-linked laboratory in a mine, he prepared Operation Furnace and had Shane killed before the expedition began.

• Lynn used Merle to lure bandits into the Greene Farm barn, where walkers overwhelmed the farm, and led the survivors and Hershel’s family to the zoo base.
• Lynn welcomed Zhao Jinghong as his second subordinate, assigned duties to the growing community, and established strict rules as food, medicine, and security concerns mounted.
• Lynn’s defenders prepared for a huge walker herd and watched armed strangers near the base, while the Ash squad returned with supplies and news of Fuse’s death.
• Lynn sent Ash to scout Vulture’s Claw and destroy its M2 machine gun, and the squad captured Scar and Probe after wrecking the weapon.
• Zhao Jinghong fought a horde approaching the southeastern wall and discovered living Whisperers disguised among the walkers, prompting Lynn to lead reinforcements to her aid.
• Lynn’s group captured a Whisperer leader, but Skinner died from a parasite and an explosion breached the southeastern wall, unleashing a massive attack.
• Lynn and the Ash squad rallied the defenders, killed Whisperer commanders, sealed the breach, and captured Messenger with a map to a mine laboratory.
• Messenger revealed that serum suppressed the parasites and that a laboratory lay behind a mine safe house, so Lynn assigned Anvil to lead Operation Furnace and had Shane killed during a staged reconnaissance mission.
