The recent incidents had dealt a severe blow to team morale. Though Kevin was trying his best to keep his team together, things weren't looking too good.
They had started the wasteland expedition with a team of eight, but now only five remained. Iker had committed suicide, Guzman was forced to evacuate due to his fractured leg, and Alan was fighting for his life.
The Great Dust Bowl was proving to be a lot more challenging than Kevin had anticipated. The recent losses made Kevin reconsider whether continuing with the expedition was the best option at this point. He didn't want to risk any more lives, but at the same time, he couldn't let the Raider activities go on unchecked in this region.
Not only did the bandits have access to hacked robots and drones, but also that special serum Dr. Zimmer had created. Kevin knew the Raiders would retaliate as soon as they sensed the slightest window of opportunity, and he wasn't willing to take that chance.
