The trip was uneventful until they got to Magharoskari. The small village had a spray of infected.

They’d brought hand weapons with them but were authorized gunfire since it was a recon. Primary weapons were suppressed MP7s and the sound of the vehicle engines attracted more attention than the shots.

There were a few survivors, some from the village, some refugees from the lowlands.

People boggled at their mixed gear, armor, swords and axes combined with modern firearms.

A few more survivors, a few more infected, in Tsiparani. It could hardly be called a village, more a vacation home development with a bit of sheep herding.

Part of that was not showing light. Part of that was finding somewhere that would hold against infected if they showed up.
