"So do we wait for them to come back, or go clear some monsters ourselves?" Karl asks with a grin. How is that even a question?
"Might as well go help them out. The category 3 areas are still under staffed."
Our drive towards the city is slow, many groups are in the area, plus some in the category 1 areas are still using regular rifles and Karl doesn't want his precious truck damaged.
The crowd rapidly thins out as we enter the category 2 areas though, and I'm putting down monsters a couple times a minute just to keep the road clear. Shoot, hop out and gather the core, hop back in. Rinse and repeat.
Craters from intense battles dot the countryside and we decide it's best to leave the truck somewhere safe and proceed on foot. A mostly destroyed and abandoned barn does the job, putting the truck out of sight and making it easy to find later.
