Part 6/9:
As the group raids a food supply store, they face fierce opposition from both MCHs and skitters. Tom's quick thinking allows them to overcome immediate threats, but their newfound supplies come with the weight of past trauma. They must also contend with human outlaws, who in one harrowing interaction abduct their group, leading to intense discussions about survival and morality.
Amid the chaos, relationships form, and camaraderie develops between fighters. Toward this end, internal conflicts emerge over resource allocation, particularly regarding the treatment of civilians versus military personnel. The complexities of survival in a war-torn world lay bare the struggle for compassion in the face of dire circumstances.
