CRM Scientists Predict Humanity Can Only Survive Another 14 Years In The Walking Dead
Beale has very little confidence in humanity’s future

Rick’s Actions Didn’t Change The Walking Dead’s Upcoming Disaster
Rick and Michonne’s happy ending is only a short-term one
regrettably forThe Walking Dead’smain characters , nothing that occurred in the time of year finale alters the timeline Beale set for the enfranchisement ’s future . By demand out some of the CRM ’s military asset , kill Beale , and putting mastery in the hands of the Civic Republic , Rick and Michonne managed to achieve a happy ending both for themselves and the citizenry once under the thumb of the CRM .

The Walking Dead : The Ones Who Live season 1 ’s finale brings Rick and Michonne ’s journeying to a close , but does not answer all of the big questions .
If Beale ’s scientists were right , every remainingWalking Deadcharacter ’s time is limited to about 14 eld . go by the CRM ’s anticipation , that timespan will see settlements all over the world put up from food for thought shortages and epidemics , made worse by the stay on problem of automaton running rampant in the post - apocalyptic landscape .

Plus , with Rick and Michonne back home in Alexandria and the CRM no longer acting as villains in the enfranchisement , the 14 - class deadline is now the large existing threat for the grapheme to contend with .
As for what such a account could entail , it ’s possible that what Rick learned from Beale will do as the origination for his next journeying with Michonne , mean that the couple may spend the next few months - or geezerhood - looking for a means to prolong civilisation . The Civic Republic arranging transport for Rick and Michonne in the season conclusion signals that the two will maintain ties to the organization .

HowThe Walking Dead’scharacters can stop the zombies from diffuse deadly diseases remain to be check , but at least one of the take note by Beale already has a likely solution .

He said to Rick , " Is n’t exactly millet state , but if I could find the right one … It could vary things . “Okafor ’s line about the importance of millet may be a vamper to what Rick needs to do to save the planet .
The pointed reference to the impact the correct case of millet could have on civilization gives the impression that it was meant to serve as some sort of frame-up for a future plot line . Looking at what Okafor said , it would seem thatmillet could be a path for subsister inThe Walking Dead’suniverse to overcome the food shortage that Beale rally . Since Rick did total around to Okafor ’s point of view , there ’s a opportunity he ’ll see merit in this idea as well .
Rememberingwhat Okafor said about milletcould go to Alexandria come in up with a work plan for manhood ’s future tense inThe Walking Dead : The Ones Who Live . Normally , growing millet effectively in Alexandria would only serve their own people , but get a link to the Civic Republic means that whatever they can action can be shared with other small town . Their ties to the CR , the Commonwealth , and Hilltop means multiple judgement can work together toward find oneself an answer to the famishment problemand making sure it ’s spread throughout the country .
