Not too far away from the border, Eric was staying on the outskirts of a small camp composed of tents, and some small sentry-like structures.
Even though he was quite a bit far from the camp, he could feel their lack of security and order. More like a camp, it seemed like a bunch of tents brought together.
There were around 200 or more people inside the camp, where the male made up for 25-30% of it, while the rest were females and children.
The proportions were clearly unequal, but this was what survival of the fittest mean. Most of these women and children were captured with their families, as their men had died trying to protect them.
Well more than to just protect them, their men had died because they hadn't accepted to hand over their wives, their daughters, their children to the beasts with guns controlling the camp.
