We head back to see Hyun, our bags heavier with a fresh batch of antibiotics and prescription medicines. The plan is clear but complex: to introduce a rumour into Hyun's network that pins the warehouse attack on Bugu town, subtly stirring the pot between them and the city hall shelter. Yet, nestled within this strategy is my genuine curiosity about reaching the government, especially after Hyun's revelation about their hunt for the black-eyed infected.
Upon our arrival, Hyun greets us with a nod, her eyes quickly assessing the goods we've brought. The air between us crackles with the anticipation of trade and the unspoken stories that linger just beneath the surface. There's a palpable tension, a sense that the information we're about to exchange could shift the balance of power in our fragile, post-apocalyptic world.
"I've brought more supplies," I start, laying out the antibiotics on the table. "But it's not just medicines I'm interested in trading today."
